Code Orange - Forever (January 13th, 2017) Album • Page 8

i have a feeling you'll find Forever to be more interesting than I Am King, there's some definite curveballs here. but yeah thats all you can really do, listen with an open mind and hope for the best. like you said, just personal preference if you end up not liking it! excited to hear your thoughts either way since we do tend to enjoy a lot of the same kind of heavy music

 

yuuuup the big three. might go see coc saturday if i have the money since its sold out ill prob have to pay above face value

 

This was an enjoyable listen

 

I think the industrial, noise and electronic elements on this are a natural progression for them but at the same time still very risky. Would have been very easy to make I Am King 2.0 and just double down on the mosh and gaze-y parts to please the kids. I get what people mean now when they say they're not just trying to get huge off this album, you don't put songs like Hurt Goes On and Dream2 on a record like this if you're just aiming for a quick hit.

 

Would also throw in The Underdark

Document 8 is one of my favorite records and I had no idea Ballou produced it. Whoops.

 

Told ya haha

 

This album is really good. Hurt Goes On/dream2 is such a great way to end it.

 

This fucking rules.

 

Definitely enjoying this more than I Am King

 

This is starting my morning off right.

 

I like the slower, more experimental songs.

 

this is like pouring 12 shots of espresso into my coffee, fuck

 

This is the best thing they've ever done. Absolutely love the industrial elements

 

oh thats why people are gonna die in the pit

 

Wow, what a step up from them. This album rules.

 

Can't wait to share my review

 

Just felt my brain catch fire listening to Real

 

This album is so varied that I actually enjoy the stupidly heavy tracks.

 

Wowzer this is so much fun!

 

Code Orange - Forever • chorus.fm

 

No One is Untouchable has such a cool little guitar line in between those chunky chords starting at 1:00.

 

okay I'll admit it, you were right I was wrong

 

Don't think I'll be spending a lot of time with this. It just doesn't do it for me. That said, I'm super impressed with this band, and I can always go back to Cycles.

 

Giving a second listen now, I think I prefer I Am King but that might be more because this album deserves tons of spins for all they bring to it. I still think it's fantastic and love that they branch out.

 

After spending the day with this, I feel pretty confident in saying it's their best album.
