Touché Amoré - Stage Four (September 16, 2016) Album • Page 16

Parting and Somewhere are about equal for me in that I think they're bad and over the top but I can see people having nostalgic or emotional connections with them.

Pianos probably have the best discography out of the 3

 

pianos were also never obnoxiously cheesy

 

lumping pianos in with these bands is pretty unfair imo.

im just glad people don't talk about MDAM in relation to these bands anymore.

 

i don't think anyone actually remembers MDAM as being a band at this point, lol

 

Cheesy, bad, over the top and obnoxious aren't terms I'd use for this band and I'm old enough that they're not really a nostalgic act for me. Your obviously entitled to your opinions and perhaps I just have shit taste, but I'm just honestly surprised by this assessment of them. You learn something new every day.

 

It's not the whole band just their first album

 

The lyrics on Parting The Sea are definitely cheesy to me now. The comparison to Somewhere At The Bottom was on point. Also, this band just started writing much more interesting songs dynamically with ISB and Gravity Metaphorically.

 

didn't they have an album before parting too? haha
yeah to the beat of a dead horse

 

Somewhere is cheesy and over the top as fuck

 

To The Beat Of A Dead Horse. I've only listened to it a couple times years ago, it, considering my feelings towards Parting now, I'm not sure I have the courage to re-listen to Horse.

 

the best video on this topic

 

@cwhit I can't stop laughing at that video

 

one of my all time favorites

 

TeamJorts since 07

 

Oh yeah that ones bad too I always forget about it

 

I like PTS. I think it's a cool short hardcore record, def don't think it's anywhere close to as cheesy as the first LD album

 

I like this band but I don't think they've ever stopped being cheesy. Instrumentals are great but lyrics veer into cheesy quite a bit still. Even with the pretty heavy subject matter of this album, I expect a lot of cheese.

That being said, I like Parting the Sea and even think Horse is ok. Also, I dont really find Somewhere at the bottom cheesy.

 

I love LD so much it makes me really want to like Somewhere, haha.

 

I'm not really into somewhere as a whole but IMO it does have some really great songs

 

i actually heard the reason he did this is because the fest was filled with a bunch of hyper-masculine macho bro hardcore bands so he wanted to come out and be flamboyant as fuck

 

amazing

 

nothing johnny whitney hadn't already done before tbh

 

that's actually really cool
...still an amazing video, haha

 

That makes the video even better

 

Man, this thread bums me out. I love Parting The Sea.
