22:26 - !J.O.O.E.! Listened to that briefly earlier. Didn't sound bad. Ben Prunty is pretty great though. The FTL OST is one of my faves.
22:24 - 3rdWorld Nice electronic/synth soundtrack for some upcoming documentary on Bitcoin. [link] Reminds me of The Social Network/Mr Robot soundtracks. Pretty good.
22:22 - Apothecary I definitely don't listen to as many new albums a day as some others on here do, that's for sure. And lol, I kept pronouncing the band's name as "Three Omen" in my head at first :p
22:19 - 3rdWorld Che, you really need to keep up with the new releases. Ill Omen is on here as well [link] and was released ages back. :P
22:17 - !J.O.O.E.! Some of the later tracks have a slowed down OSDM quality too. Some of the riffs anyway.
22:17 - 3rdWorld New Hail of Bullets coming up. [link]

Writing a review for August Burns Red is a bit of a challenge. It's not so much that their sound is difficult to describe. Rather, the group's extremely consistent output of technically-inclined metalcore lends itself to redundancy from reviewing one album to the next. But while it may not be the band's best album (an accolade I award to Constellations), Rescue And Restore is definitely their most melodic and different.
I don't like the vocalist's change of tone, but the music is awesome as always.
I also don't like the direction ABR lyrics are taking. They used to be inspiring and powerful on Thrill Seeker but they declined ever since. Still, gonna be curious about the new album.
I've been a fan ever since I first heard the greatness of Constellations, and then picked up Messengers. Leveler was just alright for me, but I'm looking forward to hearing this record, I'm sure it will be great.
Picked this up today. Found it weird I could cause in this Media Markt I have never ever seen a Solid State Records album, but nontheless was glad it was there.
It is rare for a straight-up metalcore album to be good these days. August Burns Red is really the last of these groups I think can still bring it (now that As I Lay Dying is dead). This is their most melodic album yet, too.
