I was praying that this was gonna be good and it was. Grooming My Replacement is an 80, and The Game is a 85
This sounds like if a pop band attempted to make a metal song but still wanted to appeal to their fanbase
WOW. I was hoping I was gonna like this cause I haven’t gotten into BMTH… until I finally listened to this. why is kingslayer so f*cking good? WHY? It’s a perfect track! I also like one day the only butterflies left track even though not that many people do. I thought it was a unique way to end this alternative metal/metalcore album. The only reason this isn’t a 100 is cause of ludens in my opinion
I wish they used Uzi a little more and it’s hard to know where they used Daryl. Still a good track.
This song is definitely polarizing. I think I would’ve given this track a 65/100 if I heard it once but it’s grown on me a little. 7.5-8/10
This song is like… so mid that it hurts. It just feels wayyyy too safe. It’s pretty forgettable to me. 4.5-5/10
I was worried I wasn’t gonna like this, but DAMN THIS THING SLAPS. The noise elements are great, the screams are brutal, the metal riffs and breakdowns oh my god. Feeling a 9 to a 9.5 out of 10
Edit: I forgot to mention that the only reason why isn’t a 10 is cause of the interludes, even though they aren’t bad I just think could’ve been better maybe? I also want to bring up how good the soft rock elements on this LP are, THEY’RE SO GOOD. I love the length of the ... read more
boom clap, boom boom clap is one of my least favorite things ever. Also that ending breakdown doesn’t match with the song that well, and I love metal breakdowns that come out of nowhere
this song has the potential to be good but the lyrics, vocals, and the ending destroys this song when it could’ve just ended after the 3 minute and 40 second mark
when the vocals came in I laughed for 20 seconds, this song is so boring and lifeless
WOW. At first I thought it was meh and then when he got to the chorus holy sh*t. This is worse than stuck. I guess that’s what happens when Dan Reynolds helps you with your homework (song writing)
the song wasn’t that great and then the chorus happened with that overproduced bass
Poppy, I need more of this please. If you made an LP out of this it would be my AOTY. The mathcore breakdown on Say Cheese is glorious. Your ability to create great alternative metal is proved by Dark Dark World. I’d probably rate this a 9.5 or a 10 out of 10
Knocked Loose my beloved. Very very good EP. Has a lot of surprising twists by combining metalcore, hardcore, and deathcore more. If you hate metalcore I recommend you check out this EP.
Take me to eden, I’ll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies (thall riff). This is probably the most overrated band of the year. I’ve just been called stupid by not liking this band and that’s probably hurting my opinion of them. I’m sorry
Edit: I lowered it from 30 to 5 cause I truly got nothing from this album. It’s an insult to call this album “alternative metal” cause it isn’t. The screaming and occasional Djent breakdown does not make ... read more
Crown The Empire was the band that got me into metalcore and is the reason why I like “genericore” or generic metalcore. I was hoping that this was going to be their best album since I thought In Another Life and Dancing with the Dead were their least generic songs in a while. If this album came out around early 2022 I would’ve been very disappointed, but since the later released singles weren’t as good, it lowered my expectations. I write this review in the hope that a ... read more
This album is one of the craziest things I’ve heard and probably will hear this year. There’s some things that I think I need to think about before properly rating this one. I don’t think it’s perfect but for what it is, it’s good.
Edit (July 17): yeah this thing has grown on me. Added 10 more points and possibly more. I think this album does mathcore extremely well. The heavy parts are crushing and the soft parts are smooth. Feeling a 9 to a 9.5 out of 10

This is just… everything I want from this kind of metalcore/hardcore punk/metallic hardcore punk/whatever you want to call it. Amazing vocals, lyrics, heavy bass, riffs, breakdowns, and also some drum grooves that were very unique that sounded like funk beats (specifically on Gates of Horn).
