Every Time I Die - Low TeensI… I just can’t fucking do it. This album is exhausting. Had to start writing this on the third listen because I don’t think I can do another one today.
My experience with Every Time I Die starts and ends with Guitar Hero 2. “The New Black” was one of my favourite songs in that game and all I bothered to listen to from the band until… 2016. This is actually the second time I’ve listened to
Low Teens as I couldn’t quite make it through on the first listen last year. I was expecting something in the same vein as the song from GH2 and what I got was something far more… unrelenting. Like god damn. I thought I was into punk and metal and all those in-between genres because eventually the anger and intensity gives way to something more melodic, or at least a clean vocal. You know, contrast. This album just doesn’t quit, and apparently I am not man enough to take the onslaught. That said, there were two tracks on this album I enjoyed and they should be easy enough for you to guess based on what I just said.
I feel like one of those old people yelling “You call this noise, music?!?!” but really, I think I’ve found my limits, and I did not expect that from this band. The only thing I can really praise are the lyrics, and I will admit that reading them as I listened made the whole experience slightly easier to process... but only slightly. What can you tell me about their other albums? I checked out
Low Teens the first time because I was surprised to see how critically acclaimed the majority of their discography was, so I’m particularly curious about
From Parts Unknown, anything you think might be more up my alley, or is it all this intense?
It’s hard to speak on the music because I really just feel like I was being attacked for a few hours, but “It Remembers” and “Map Change” were pretty solid.
Final Rating: I really wish I could remember the mathematical formula for limits/10---
