I'm listening now. It's good but no way it's gonna be an album of the year for me. I'm on track 8 and there's really only been 3 tracks I've loved.

Look, there's tracks I love by these guys and they're talented, but I feel like this is a band whose more made up of cool moments and sick parts than actual good solid songs and that's not to say there isn't good songs! This is the popular thing right now in hardcore/metalcore, it's gonna be around for a little while but I feel like this type of music isn't long term sustainable.

I mean, adsob and atitfol are full of memorable songs and not just viral moments, but then again, Bryan said in some interview prior to the new album's release that they wrote new songs with live performances in mind, so they could easily keep crowds and, by extension, their wider audience engaged. Still, they have experimentation going on, too bad their more experimental-sounding songs usually stay underrated.

I'll give the album another listen soon, but it really didn't blow my wig back. There were moments I really liked but I can't recall them from memory, but that could be more of a symptom of listening to so much music that in a lot of ways is pretty similar it's getting harder and harder to stand out in my mind. I'm not in any way knocking Knocked Loose (ha-ha) I like them and would definitely go see them live if they played my area, but it's just not anything close to an "album of the year" for me. But I'll be open minded enough to change that opinion if the record starts growing on me after another listen.

I don't mean any harm, like 0 harm. But what is supposed to be so revolutionary, so soul-crushing, so heavy and so "AOTY" about this new album? The elephant in the room is the vocals - they are polarizing enough that this CAN'T be AOTY. i was personally annoyed by the vocals a few seconds in and remained annoyed. And then all the riffs, breakdowns, whatever... are the exact same riffs and breakdowns I've been listening to 20 years ago? Lmao. Is this just a new generation thing? Because they can't hold a candle next to like, The Acacia Strain or August Burns Red or anything from that era. Maybe yall just haven't heard those bands before, so you gotta hype this stuff up? Someone help me out because I know they're very popular and it must be ME who's missing something.

Honestly, I think they are overhyped af. I mean, the band is good and has a couple of real bangers in their repertoire, but other than that there is nothing really special about them besides the vocals. I don't know of any metalcore/hardcore band that has a similar vox and at the same time this well produced, high-quality music. But 2 million listeners on Spotify? Yeah, I just don't get it. I would take The Acacia Strain or END over these guys any day.

100% agreed. The new album is not bad by any means, it's actually good, but that's about it. It sounds like half of the modern Metallic Hardcore bands out there, the typical Post-Hatebreed Hardcore. An overrated album in my opinion.

One of the worst hxc bands in recent memory. But of course the peasant masses will eat up whatever garbage is fed to them.

The vocals, to me, are the only interesting part about this band. The rest is just boring and deriviative.

I think this band and thrown have a unique and rocking instrumental. The vocalists of these bands sing out of their minds. Geez, guys, we were lucky to live at the same time as this.
