Bring Me The Horizon - Post Survival Horror
Like I mentioned before, my only previous experience with BMTH was their 2023 collaboration with Lil Uzi so I really had no idea what this record would be like. Based off of the band's name I was afraid it'd be like one of those cringe late 2000's bands like Falling In Reverse. but thankfully this album is much better than that (Ronnie Radke is such a strange specimen)

First off, I'll speak about what I enjoyed: The instruments. It might be a bit cliche from me at this point, but I really dug the drumming and especially the guitars. The production was very good too, and the mixing was pretty well done as well.

Now, I don't really have any big "negatives" for this album, but I do have to admit that I'm not the biggest fan of Oli Sykes' vocals. They're not bad by any means (and I definitely see the comparisons to Chester Bennington) but I also can't say that I was a big fan. It's probably just up to preference though. For such a short record (it's even classified as an EP on RYM) I was surprised to see some pretty high profile guests on it like Yungblud, Amy Lee, and Babymetal who probably have my favorite vocal performance on the record (they were also on Uzi's Pink Tape which is a crazy coincidence).

Overall I liked the album fine, but I do wonder if it was the best introduction for the band's music. For every album recommended in this club, I like to check their RYM page after listening and "Sempiternal" is their highest rated release so maybe I'll check it out. But ultimately I think that PH:SH is a decent album that isn't my cup of tea, but still has some pretty decent songs at the same time
FAVORITES: Kingslayer, Ludens
Rating 6.5/10

I chose this one because for a short record it shows off some of their different styles, electronic stuff like Kingslayer, more straight forward screamo like Dear Diary, slower songs like the last track etc. Sempiternal is widely considered their best but I figured the constant screaming on that album would have overtaken the conversation even though I love the writing and production on that album and it's super influential in the genre as a whole.

I also think the band hit me at the right time cause if I heard some of their lyrics from other bands like a Falling In Reverse (f--- Ronnie Radke, awful human.) I would find them much more cringe.

Glad you liked the bits that you did and definitely recommend diving further into the albums you think you might like more!

Bring Me The Horizon - POST HUMAN: SURVIVAL HORROR

A lot of this really reminded me of (early) Linkin Park but a bit "harder" if you know what I mean.
It's a nice short album with nice lyrics. The one issue I have with it is not an actual criticism, but personal taste. I'm not a huge fan of the heavy screaming, which is why I'm not too big on metal or heavy rock in general. But that's only parts of this album, and on a few songs where it bothered me a little for example Dear Diary. On the other hand the album has a lot which I loved: the hook on Obey was fantastic and I really enjoyed the songs 1x1 and Kingslayer. Dope collabs!
Only song I really didn't enjoy at all was Itch for the Cure. I didn't include one song when I mentioned my favorites because I want to highlight it again; Butterflies (I know the title is way longer). Like I said what a beautiful piece of music. Listened to it a few times after hearing the album.
To summarize; its not completely for me, but the stuff I did liked, I liked a LOT.

7.8/10

Here's my review, I put a lot of effort in this time

@AOTWClub

Its been over a year but this is actually one of the 3 Weeknd projects I've listened to (first 2 discs in Trilogy and Starboy) and my feelings are around the same if not a little more positive!

Now in my opinion I think the grimy seedier sound of his early music was absolutely a wave that he started and while it's artistically way more interesting to me I actually prefer some of the poppier sounds from him, that doesn't demerit the quality of this project however.

First things first the production on this whole mixtape is immaculate, now I can see people's perception of the project running the gammit but this part of the equation for this tape and for his entire discography that I've heard is undeniable. Same goes for his singing bro is great at what he does and it adds to the atmosphere he's chosen.

The lyrics aren't very standout to me particularly but they are pretty vivid in a way that I can see people clinging on to and I appreciate it for its imagery.

And I won't include it here but I did listen to the version of the mixtape that's on Trilogy with one of my favorite songs from the project, the bonus song exclusive to that release "Twenty Eight" it's very very good and I recommend anyone that liked the project to give it a listen!

Favorite Songs: High For This, House Of Balloons (idk if I find Glass Table Girls to be just okay or bad I flip flop lol), The Party & The After Party, Wicked Games, The Knowing.

I'm in the same boat as @DiggleDogg69 . The only BMTH I've heard is their Uzi collab so this is super exciting.

House Of Balloons - The Weeknd REVIEW

Score: 8.5

Review:
So, it's been a "couple hours" you could say. Sorry for getting this in later than anticipated, the end of the week got busier than expected. Anyways, House Of Balloons was a fantastic project! You can tell The Weeknd found his lane pretty early on and knew it was gold. It was interesting to hear some of his earlier work for the first time! I don't think I have heard a song from The Weeknd from any project earlier than Beauty Behind The Madness, so it was nice to hear music from 13(!!!!!) years ago. I had no clue who The Weeknd was until Beauty, so it was dope to hear what he was doing while I was literally starting 1st grade. This project only had one miss for me, being the outro, The Knowing. Not sure why, just didn't hit for me like the rest of the project. Not a bad song by any means, just wasn't the strong outro I was hoping for. The standouts to me were the title track and The Party & The After Party. Beautiful singing all around from him and a nice listen at only 44 minutes! Good s---, I'm ready to dig into his earlier works now in the lead up to the new album! Thanks for the pick @Ripper Roo !

Choosing an album isn’t easy. Some of us have been having these listening sessions for a long time before this thread so it eliminates many potential picks.

I don't like picking albums that are too mainstream. Though the following were very strong candidates.

System Of A Down - Toxcity
AIice in Chains - Dirt
Disturbed - Ten Thousand Fists & Indestructible
Akon - Konvicted

Might be going full send on this next one even if there's a good chance it doesn't get a lot of reviews
Click to expand...

I would’ve gone absolutely wild if you had chosen Toxicity and especially Dirt. some of my favorite albums of all time. Can’t wait to see what you pick this time around
