Better Lovers • Page 13

Little switch up at the end got me giddy.

Who up bettering they lovers rn

 

For an ETID follow-up band without Keith and the Big Man I don't think it gets better than this. I am excited to see where they are at a couple of albums in. Greg is a great pick as the frontman.

 

Man, I wish I liked Greg's voice more. It always sounds so sharp and dry, and this song in particular feels like it would've worked a lot better with something more in Keith's register (and with more of the swagger he brought to ETID - Greg feels so stiff next to these riffs). I'm going to keep checking out whatever they put out, but I don't think this is the post-breakup band for me.

 

It was a big adjustment for me. After the Josh Scogin feature on Radical I was so hopeful they would pick him up as the vocalist. I wasn't a huge Dillinger fan prior. I like that he has a distinct style and isn't Keith Lite. There are a bunch of interviews with Greg and Jordan. It seems like they all have a great working relationship that is cool comparatively to the intense breakup with ETID. I haven't seen them live yet, but based on the videos they seem to be working the crowd big time as an opener.

 

This is exactly how I feel.

 

Imagine if the lead singer of Many Eyes hopped on this song.....

 

This is a banger

 

the lil tempo shifts are wild. good song.

 

This slaps severely but just like the EP I already don't want to revisit it. It's such a direct continuation of ETID instrumentally that I keep expecting the impossible aka Keith being on it and I think I still haven't gotten over that. My mind keeps having these "Hmm interesting choice but Keith wouldn't have clean vocals there or would do this instead" thoughts and it's ruining it for me lol. I know it's not their fault. Hopefully this will fade away when the album comes out.

 

I feel the same. I’ve enjoyed the Many Eyes stuff more than BL because I just can’t vibe with Greg’s vocals (or his questionable politics).

 

What’s the deal with Greg’s politics?

 

staunch libertarian.

 

oh god lol

 

a. not surprising b. not something I particularly care about


new track rips

 

yeah it's not one the same level as something like the Trapt guys lol, which would be a different discussion imo

 

if the trapt guys made better music maybe we could talk but of course part of the reason their music is so bad is because of their politics lol most of the time I couldn’t care less unless it’s a focal point of what the band does

 

The songs just don’t hit the same.

 

I am begging some of you to stop expecting this band to scratch the exact same itch as a different years-dead band.

 

I like the music a lot but I’m also not a big fan of Greg’s voice. Still looking forward to their album and seeing them this summer.

The tempo change parts in this new song rule.

 

this song fucks

 

Hard to when it sounds exactly the same as that different years-dead band, but I get you. Wish it was this easy as it seems to be for others!

 

New song is kinda whatever to me. I liked the EP, but the only song that has really stuck with me since that summer is 30 Under 13 and the two singles since then haven’t moved the needle for me

 

I like the new song and I like this band in general but the first time he sings "all the bodies are fuel for the fires" he sounds like Mr Poopy Butthole from Rick and Morty lol
