Cool beans.

Just wanna note that I couldn't get into the guy's vocals. It was like Shai Hulud's That With Blood Ill-Tempered, good music and all but the vocals I failed getting passed.

I hope he's changed/improved.

It sounds like they have continued the sound they were going with on Constellations and I think that's a good thing.

Another new song, this one's even better than Empire imo. Some BTBAM-esque parts in there, loving this song.

Constellations was fantastic.

New song is win...love the middle section that goes in a different direction, and the ending is heavy

LEVELER is fucking awesome.

So much better than anything they've ever written.

I refuse to listen to anything else until Tuesday. I cannot wait.

My pre-order came today, unexpectedly. I feel like ABR sent me an early birthday present since my birthday is Sunday!

I'll let you in on a bit about the new album, it's fucking amazing.

Aaah, you're incredibly lucky, and that's an awesome birthday present!

More experimentation, I'm hoping?

Yes. But, there is still that classic ABR sound that I know I love. If you love all their albums, you'll definitely enjoy this one!

Hearing various clips and tracks as they post them on facebook, sounds fantastic, will buy when I get some money!

I had my money on Carpe Diem being an amazing track, is that the truth?

Heretic · « **Reply #22 on:** June 21, 2011, 02:31:05 PM »

Yeah, it was the truth.

This album is completely fantastic and I urge everyone to pick up a copy. Such diversity in the tracks and the bonus tracks rule! One of my albums of the year, for sure.

This is the truth!

Unfortunately, there is a bunch of people bitching on youtube about some clean sections being "gay shit" and how the album "blows" so much. I think its because these people were expecting 6 breakdowns per song.

I, for one, fucking LOVE the direction ABR has gone in since Messengers. It's almost pure genius!

Heretic · « **Reply #24 on:** June 21, 2011, 03:59:55 PM »

I agree, the direction they took on Constellations and here furthered on Leveler really makes them stand out among the metalcore crowd. They thank BTBAM in the credits of the album, and it shows, they've definitely been influenced by them on certain songs.

I don't mind the haters on Youtube, really, as if you check review sites and whatnot, the album has garnered mostly 4 and 5 star ratings from professional reviewers... that, and most everyone on iTunes/Amazon are saying great things about the album, too.

The extra tracks are pretty cool, too. The piano version of Boys of Fall is oddly haunting.

Btw-- awesome taste in music, RMV!

It's good.
It really is.
I think it's borderline too heavy for too long for me.
There's no time in the music to catch your breath.
This album is intense.
And I do enjoy some clean vocals, and there aren't many spots if any on this disc.

Heretic · « **Reply #28 on:** June 24, 2011, 04:02:01 PM »

Have you never listened to August Burns Red before? Compared to their other stuff, this album has a lot more places to "breath," and I love that aspect of it.

Salt & Light is probably my favorite song, I absolutely love the "we sing for you!" part, and then the anthem-chorus that follows behind it. It's fantastic.

If you think this album is intense, check out Messengers. I think you will change your mind quickly. Messengers is aggressive!

So far I'm liking the intro to Pangaea. A lot.

Oh yes. And the ending, too. "Oh Pangea, what have you done?!"

I have to say I'm in love with every song on this album. Such diversity for a band that people used to say "sounded the same." I knew after Constellations (and the fact that they featured Tommy Rogers) that they'd be moving in a bit more progressive/experimental direction, and this is exactly what I hoped for.

Exactly this. And they did it very well. I love everything about this album!

I like it more than Constellations. And I think the musical side of the album is more evolved and mature than Constellations.
