Norma Jean Band • Page 12

Dang the third one esp was sick.

 

Just stopping in to say that O' God still rules.

 

It's actually the only Norma Jean album I don't like.

 

I like O’God In all its Botch worship but it may be my least favorite. I have a hard time listening straight through. Either that or Meridional as my least favorite, which I know is an unpopular opinion.

Looks like the singer from Silent Planet guests on a new NJ song.

Where is my damned signed lyric print from that Redeemer Tour A YEAR AGO?

That’s all I got.

 

I mean, yeah, it's a Botch rip-off, but it's a GOOD Botch rip-off. I've finally been getting around to listening to Norma Jean's subsequent albums, and I like all of them except The Anti-Mother.

 

Oh you hadn't heard their more recent albums before?

 

I’ve been a Botch fan since We Are The Romans and Norma Jean did Botch better than Botch.

@ me all you want

 

That's just real right there.

 

damn A Grand Scene goes so fucking hard

 

Nope. I kind of lost interest in really heavy music until recently. Glad I went back to listen to these albums.

 

I hate how of ALL the early 2000’s metalcore bands that ripped off Botch, this is the album that takes the heat.

What about The Bled, Blood Brothers, Fear Before, Fall of Troy, Underoath (DTGL), Every Time I Die, Dillinger Escape Plan. I mean the list goes on and on.

 

Because none of them were as on the nose as O’ God.

 

To this day, I've never listened to Botch despite all the aforementioned bands that were heavily influenced by them.

 

At this point the bands doing it are so much better it’s almost not worth it save for a few select bangers.

You’re better off listening to These Arms Are Snakes.

 

I would at least give the EP and WATR a go, idk why Botch is getting a bad rap

 

How is Botch getting a bad rap? It’s been 20 years almost since they made a record. It’s only natural people that have picked up the mantle have improved upon it.

And yeah the EP is underrated.

 

We Are the Romans is amazing

 

I just personally wouldn't steer people away from checking them out. I hear what you're saying about other bands having expanded on their sound, but tbh I never got the whole "rip off" argument for a lot of those bands. The only blatant rip off I know is that riff on O God

 

What riff are you referring to?

 

The end of Vertebraille riff that sounds a lot like the riff in Japam haha

 

Lol yea I definitely hear that.

 

you literally told people to actively not listen to it and listen to other stuff lmao

Listen to everything from everyone imo more music for everyone

 

Well yeah but I was the only one which a “rep” does not make ;)

 

Nice! They've only gotten better imo since O'God. Which did you like the best?
