this is a bit late as i've already listened to it, but beforehand i'd only ever heard a few songs off catch without arms/el cieloextra it's really hard to give you an insight on the album without knowing what previous (if any) album you were into, dredg's style has been varying a lot through the years
I think the new Dance Gavin Dance should be their best work yet. It seems like they got better after Jon left. His vocals weren't that good, but for some reason he fit the band perfectly. And as for CTTS, we can only hope.I listened to Dance Gavin Dance - Happiness today. It's a vast improvement from their s/t, but still doesn't take Downtown Battle Mountain (even if it's a little more consistent this time). edit: Actually on second listen, this might be slightly better. The harsh vocals are much more tolerable now. edit2: Wow this is a grower.
I'm also looking forward to new dredg, The Fall of Troy, Circle Takes the Square (will this ever come out..?), Kayo Dot, Radiohead (possibly) and some more this year.
Apparently the vocalist from Protest the Hero is featured in a Fall of Troy song.... should be interesting.
Wow. How did I forget about Common Existance? Awesome album. I was a little disappointed they didn't have any post-rock songs like they did on their split with Envy. Oh well. Also I didn't know #12 was releasing a new album this year. It should be pretty good.1. As Cities Burn - Hell or High Water
2. Coheed and Cambria - Neverender (still don't have the DVD set...if I did probably number one)
3. The Number Twelve Looks Like You - Worse Than Alone
4. P.O.S. - Never Better
5. Propagandhi - Supporting Caste
6. Thursday - Common Existence
7. mewithoutYou - It's All Crazy! It's All False! It's All a Dream! It's Alright
8. Mastodon - Crack the Skye
Looking forward to new Circle Takes the Square, Mars Volta, Between the Buried and Me, Brand New, Fall of Troy...other stuff that I'm not remembering.
I love all of their albums. They're extremely consistent. Full Collapse does have to be my favorite though. War All the Time's amazing but it's too poppy for me. Full Collapse just seems more post-hardcoreish.I can't decide if I like Common Existence or A City by the Light Divided more, but I've always felt like Full Collapse was way overrated and War All the Time was underrated.
As for the new Number Twelve, it's less accessible (so I hear from non-fans) but I think it's their best work yet.
They were playing at a small venue in my area a few weeks ago but I didn't go since I've been going to a shitload of shows recently and couldn't afford it. I'm not a big fan of them though. Like I listen to and enjoy their music, but I wouldn't see them live when they're the only one playing (which they were).I would loooove to see Fear Before, but I'm so broke right now. They've been here twice in like the past half year, though.
But yeah, I'm sad I never got to see them, along with Bear Vs. Shark, and At the Drive-In. (I *have* seen The Mars Volta though!)
Fuck. this sounds like the best show ever.Hot Cross is amazing. It sucks so bad they broke up. I was supposed to see them with This Will Destroy you, Fear Before the March of Flames and 65daysofstatic awhile ago.
