Unfortunately not clicking with me. I like the album. It’s good for what they’re going for. I just don’t think the sound palate is resonating with me. Brave Faces Everyone really hit in a way that not many other albums have before. It was my AOTY in 2020, a truly rough year where that album spoke to me and so many.

This would be a pretty damn good song if not for the lyrics that are so fucking dumb.
Couldn’t disagree more with the other reviews. Maybe it’s because I haven’t heard like anything in this style before but this is enthralling to me.

I happened to see you mention the new single to someone, I decided to check it out, and it's awesome, it's the best beatdown hardcore song I've heard in a while

If there is another release you'd like me to give a further listen, give me a shout. I am always happy to give an album a second chance. Sometimes albums take a while to win you over.

The vocals on Crusade by Incendiary is difficult for me to listen to, and I enjoy the guitar work on their next two album more than Crusade. I think the guitars on Thousand Mile Stare and Cost of Living blend really well with the vocals.
