Deafheaven Band • Page 6

Where is the pop in either record lol

 

Brief sidebar: both Emma Ruth Rundle and This Will Destroy You were phenomenal. TDWY in particular sounded absolutely pristine and had probably the best sounding live drums of any band I've seen

Carry on...

 

Haha there's more catchy riffs on NB, that's pretty much it.

 

I'm surprised that this is even a contrary opinion. I like NB but it doesn't compete with Sunbather for me.

 

Alright y'all I love ranking wars just as much as the next person, but let's get down to the real question: odds of a new record from this band this year? They've put one out every other odd-numbered year this decade...although it won't be two years since NB came out until October.

 

I dunno. I listened to Sunbather the other day and I still feel like NB blows it away. Pecan Tree, Dreamhouse and the title track are all phenomenal, but the slower in between tracks don't do much for me personally.

 

hoping we get a new album late this year/early next

 

I read an interview with George earlier this year and he said they've got touring plans until mid-summer and then they're gonna write/record so he said probably sometime early next year

 

I like the interludes except for windows, that's awful and kills the momentum.

 

I mean, I don't have a problem with the interludes or the more gazey stuff, but I'm just more of a metal guy in general so I think NB is just more for me personally.

 

Remember:

 

That's a baseless argument and you know it. I'm sure there are people that do think that way, but there are plenty of people for any band who might just prefer an earlier release on the merit of the release itself.

 

That's my mindset on Deafheaven. New Bermuda has a few decent tracks, but falls off quickly half way through the album. In that light, I'd rather listen to Sunbather. It's not a preference based on nostalgia; it's a preference based on the quality of the release IMO.

 

The intro to "Baby Blue" sounds like it should be played during a baptism

 

I honestly haven't gone back to New Bermuda much since it came out.

 

New Bermuda is the best metal record of this decade, fight me

 

The only other potentially acceptable answer is AWLWLB

 

That was honestly what I was thinking.

 

Manifest Decimation

 

Prolly not even the best Power Trip record of this decade

 

New Bermuda isn't even the best Deafheaven record of this decade.

 

I haven't heard enough metal to back this but it sounds good to me.
