Glassjaw - Material Control (December 1, 2017) Album • Page 51

imagine not liking this album

 

Yeah, I’m gonna give this a ton of listens before I come to any actual conclusion on it for sure

 

And you wanna talk about hooks... holy shit, those back-to-back choruses on Closer and Conscience

 

so far my only conclusion on this album is that it rips

 

Alright well I came off that new At the Drive In album as one of the only people to still really like it so I'm still hype!

 

I actually liked that one too lol...

 

My plan is to listen to it once through on Spotify at midnight then I will sleep, wake up and have it on repeat all day at work.

 

anyone saying theres no hooks is just wrong

 

Love seeing the reaction in here. Unfortunately I won’t be able to listen until this evening.

 

this is exactly what i want from glassjaw in 2017. no bullshit, just track after track of tunes that knock you back. aggressive, groovey, catchy. couldnt imagine being let down in any way. production is imperfect but serves the songs, guitar tones are meaty the bass and drums are powerful and daryl sits perfectly in the mix.

 

The sequencing on this thing is so cool! Every song flows so well into the next. (At least what I've heard so far. I'm about halfway through)

 

no one is saying that, I merely said that OCG's hooks were bigger ;)

 

I take it back, Closer is my favorite, not NWE. The energy is fucking great. Wouldve liked more of that spread around this album.

 

this is wonderfully chaotic

 

Liked this a hell of a lot more on the 2nd listen.

 

Im not gonna be a debbie downer in here anymore lol Enjoy the record y'all! Im gonna be bitter and throw Worship and Tribute on lol

See you guys in 15 years!

 

Black Nurse and Gold are epic off Coloring Book and pretty much all of Our Color Green owns so...

 

off topic, Ive been wonering for a while what your username is supposed to be but I think I got it, alexisonfire taking back sunday the early november?

 

That's it! Those were my favorite bands back when I first joined AP.net so I just meshed them together haha. It's a dumb username in retrospect, but it whatever.

 

Better than me not paying attention and entering my name in the username field! haha

 

i think the 2nd half of the album is my favorite, which isn't usually how it goes. i'm stoked to listen to this a few times today.

 

The first line of My Conscience Weighs A Ton is the first line to Deftones - The Boys Republic.

Enjoying Daryl's singing as usual but unlike EYEWTKAS and W&T, which felt a bit more like the Daryl Palumbo show to a certain extent, it seems to me that on this he's using his vocals to compliment and work off the guitars rather than taking centre stage.

 

Keeping the important conversation going, bless

 

If anything the mixed opinions in here are getting me more jazzed. I’m glad too people are saying it’s a “no frills” classic post hardcore GJ album.

I want that.

 

Spacing and phrasing are important
