Silverstein - Misery Made Me (May 6, 2022) Album • Page 7

Man one listen through and I don't dislike it I guess but it's really not Silverstein to me. Will give it a chance to grow but meh. Last two don't do much for me. Dead Reflection obliterates the last two and that's lower tier Silverstein for me. Shipwreck, Wind Shifts, Alive. Those are the best for me.

 

Checks album spine, says Silverstein. Guess what it’s Silverstein!

 

Wow good one you got me!

 

Meh, it's ok, mostly pretty forgettable. I liked the opener, Ultraviolet, and the closer, the rest I can't really remember what it sounded like. I'll be the sole person here to say I was much more into the last album

 

I'm biased because they're my favorite band, but every Silverstein album is at least an 8/10 for me. Like y'all are dissecting what you like and don't like, and talking about what's "really heavy" and Shane's melodic habits, and I'm just sitting here like:

"New 'stein. Nice!"

 

Only had the chance to spin the whole album once so far and it’s not bad. Need more time to digest before I decide how good it is for them. Did anyone else feel like Mike from TDWP was underutilized in his song? Was stoked for the feature and then I barely even noticed it.

 

Not such a big fan of this new album.

I absolutely loved A Beautiful Place to Drown after not being into anything between that and the masterpiece that is A Shipwreck In The Sand.

 

This album gets better with each listen. Better than the last record, significantly better than fartwater Dead Reflection. Not close to Wind Shifts, I Am Alive or Shipwreck though. I can see this new one becoming my go-to Silverstein album, has some good hooks, riffs and a variety of stuff going on.

 

It's too early for me to start ranking this with their other albums but I agree it is consistent. Don't love the closer though.

 

ABPTD and Dead Reflection are my two favorites. This one hasn't clicked for me yet.

 

silverstein are an interesting band because they'll release concept records with a lot of thought put into them or release records that just satisfy trends. if you could build a perfect silverstein record with 15 tracks spanning throughout their discography, what would it be consisted of?

 

Trying to focus less on hits and more on encompassing songs that best achieve different things they do, I arrive at:

Giving Up
Idea of March
If You Could See Into My Soul
A Shipwreck In The Sand
Good Luck With Your Lives
In Memory Of
Massachusetts
In A Place of Solace
Departures
Je Me Souviens
Ghost
Aquamarine
Shape Shift
Don’t Wait Up

deluxe edition would have (the ones that made the first cut):
Discovering The Waterfront
You’re All I Have
Stand Amid The Roar
One Last Dance
Dancing On My Grave
Late On 6th
Lost Positives
Where Are You
Cold Blood


Also new record continues to grow with each listen. It’s very good.

 

1. Stand Amid The Roar
2. Je Me Souviens
3. Bad Habits
4. Massachusetts
5. The Afterglow
6. You're All I Have
7. Vices
8. Face Of The Earth
9. On Brave Mountains We Conquer
10. A Better Place
11. Forget Your Heart
12. California
13. Discovering The Waterfront
14. My Heroine
15. Call It Karma

Honarable Mentions to: Ultraviolet, Texas Mickey, Aquamarine, Still Dreaming, The End, Burning Hearts, Smile In Your Sleep, & Giving Up.

 

not sequenced or anything but probably
1. giving up
2. bleeds no more
3. your sword v my dagger
4. discovering the waterfront
5. call it karma
6. vices
7. youre all i have
8. the end
9. medication
10. texas mickey
11. the artist
12. on brave mountains we conquer
13. in a place of solace
14. desert nights
15. whiplash

 

Nope, I feel the same. I liked those three songs also. The last record has found a consistent spot in my rotation and I think is way stronger than this one overall.

 

Been listening to Misery all weekend and yeah… I think this just beat Dead Reflection for my favorite record of theirs.

The only tracks I view as slightly weak are It’s Over and Bankrupt but even those are better than most of the songs off the last record so I can’t complain.

 

Quick thoughts:

A Beautiful Place to Drown > Dead Reflection > Misery Made Me.

I need more time with Misery.

The animated album cover on Apple Music is pretty cool.

 

I personally think this is one of their weaker records after a few listens. It's Silverstein, so I'll keep trying but nothing has really grabbed me here.

 

Wind Shifts
Shipwreck
Dead Reflection
Waterfront
Misery
Beautiful Place to Drown
I Am Alive
Rescue
Arrivals
Short Songs
Broken

This is where I'm at right now. New album could go up a bit with time.

 

Misery
Dead Reflection
Shipwreck
Arrivals
Wind Shifts
Waterfront
Beautiful Place to Drown
I Am Alive
Broken
Rescue


I seriously love this new album.

 

Wind Shifts
Discovering The Waterfront
Shipwreck
When Broken
Dead Reflection
Rescue
I Am Alive
Arrivals & Departures
Misery
A Beautiful Place To Drown

At the moment this is where my heads at.

 

Wind Shifts
Shipwreck
Waterfront
I Am Alive
Broken
Reflection
Arrivals
Beautiful Place
Rescue
Misery

 

I Am Alive
Dead Reflection
Beautiful Place
Wind Shifts
Shipwreck
Waterfront
Arrivals
Misery
Broken
Rescue

A lot of them are pretty close, but I'd say my top three are in a different tier.

 

Move Dead Reflection above Shipwreck and we have a winner

 

I love DR a lot, it grew on me a ton, but Shipwreck/Broken are both classic.
