Bring Me The Horizon - Amo (January 25, 2019) Album • Page 25

Ss is a lot of fun and the first two songs are gold. Tiah still holds up today, and is a much better record than Sempi

 

I always think they would've been heavier/riffier if Jona was still around.

 

SS and Sempiternal were my intro to heavy music, so I'll always hold onto those. At the same time I back the sound change.

 

Review Monday

 

So i've listened to this thing one time through so far, it's actually pretty cool. I wasn't feeling the singles that were released but in the context of the album it all works. The only song I know for a fact i'll skip over is that god awful one with the Cradle of Filth dude. Why is that even on the album? Feels like a total outlier

 

Listening over breakfast and my girlfriend asked if this was Breathe Carolina

 

Dude that song fucks

 

Dude that song fucks

 

There Is A Hell is still great and I listen to it from time to time although I think the production is a bit off. Sempiternal is great musically but trash lyrically.

 

Nooooooo I can't stand it lol

 

This is pretty sick

 

Posted this on the last BMTH news post, but gonna drop this in here too; because I feel a lot of people are just totally unaware.

Reminded by a friend - as the PR wheel starts to spin on a new BMTH album, remind yourself that Oli Sykes pissed on a fan for refusing to sleep with him and hurled a Jagermeister bottle in her face. Also, his ex-wife accused him of abusing her & his previous partners. I hate being THIS person, but it baffles me in this climate how all this gets covered up, and this band continues to have such a big platform?

Bracing myself for whatever I get back, but I'm pretty curious as to what people say on here. Never liked/cared/paid attention to this band, but I've had mutual friends with him & his ex-wife; and everything I've heard about him have not been kind.

 

I wanted to hate this album but I can't. Most of this works, even the COF song. It's like hip hop/pop for people who like heavy music.

Fav songs are Nihilist Blues, Medicine, Mother Tongue, and Heavy Metal.

 

I liked that song at first but I got sick of it quickly.

 

I actually kind of like Dani Filth's parts. The song is good if you don't pay too close attention to the lyrics. Chorus is massive. Nihilist Blues is really next level. I'm not familiar with Grimes but maybe I should be. There's a dark undertone to that song that is extremely my ish.

 

Sugar Honey is NUTS. Love it.

 

Contrary to what I said earlier, I actually like this album.

 

WL was headed to be my least favorite song on the album until seeing it live the other night

 

i like this. what the fuck

 

I got an email from LiveNation that said this about the album:
We set out to write an album of 11 bangers. My favourite album when I was a kid was Linkin Park’s 'Hybrid Theory', and I thought every track on that could be a single. We wanted to do that.

-Oli Sykes

Makes a lot of sense actually.

 

This. Makes me uncomfortable the amount of praise I've seen about them lately and how this has been going unaddressed.

 

As far as Oli goes, I'm also curious about it, cause this is the only place I've heard about it and it doesn't get talked about ever.

 

I think the pee thing was actually the first thing I heard about the band and him, like around SS era I think? I wasn't into that type of music then but I thought wow that's super cool glad I'm not listening to that scene. And then the ex wife thing I first heard about sometime late last year I think and I was super bummed about it.

 

I love how I apologise leads into mantra - it's so jarring
