Cant dig this guy at all
I’m just glad you reviewed this album. I personally love Glassjaw and, more so, Glasscloud, which Travis and Chad were formerly a part of. So. YEAH!!!
hahahahahhaah that crimes moment!
What is he talking about for 6 minutes? Tommy doesn’t like Daryl’s vocals, not a big post-hardcore fan, not a fan of band’s earlier works either. Why the fuck bother and listen to the album in the first place? Go back to reviewing your shitty rap and posing as a Sun O))-elitist.
– I am Tommy: Look at my broad music taste. I can constructively critic any music genres, score them on a scale from 1 to 10 and be right about it.
– No you cannot.
Hell yeah big black and DLJ. I’m a huge post hardcore fan from all generations honestly but I love Steve Albini. Shellac and Big black are so good. And as a engineer “producer” I love the first three Jesus Lizard album. But I bet we have a similar record collection for late 80s to 90s. Unwound. Chavez. Drive like Jehu. At the drive in. CapNJazz(I love that album not for everyone). FugaZi. (And both guy and Ian’s other bands from the time).
Hell yeah.
You just dissed Worship & Tribute?…FUCK YOU ANTHONY YOU HACK!
Damn he just ripped on glassjaw you gonna do something about it
There’s some great reviews here, and I largely agree with your assessment of Glassjaw’s stuff. Since you have reviewed this, Pissed Jeans, the Melvins, and Nirvana, I thought I would recommend you review the emergent and increasingly popular Atlanta noise rock band WHORES., which is very much in this tradition. You might also consider the band ’68, which is touring with WHORES. They both put on a great show.
The new Glassjaw record is the worst 18 Visions record I’ve ever heard. WTF. I thought they were maturing with those online-only EPs… but they haven’t. Boring.
Neither of which are highlights…credibility lost
Like a, cheesecake lasagna?
Plus the former rhythm section of Glass Cloud are on the record. So good.
I’m giving this review a 5/10.
A man who can’t become an artist, becomes a critic.
Ok but At the Drive-In still had the superior post-hardcore comeback record this year
Review Lithuania – White Raindeer!
No mention of the two EPs in between albums. You didn’t like em?
Disagree, you’re a cunt
This album is growing on me so much right now. I’d give it a 8/10 for the bass tones alone. Every instrument is so sharp though. The production was the hardest thing to get into and now that I’m past it this album is incredible.
Your voice is horrible. How can you review this when all your facts are wrong? Silly man
Darryl sounds the same. Maybe less animated…but still has the HR in his vox.
ALOT of early Die 116 references, musically.
Drums seem slightly stifled, like everything was written around a click or machined ideas first.
Does this mean we’ll get a head automatica third album
Old glassjaw was waaay a head of its time, In my opinion a lot of bands in the mid to late 2000s wanted the sound glassjaw had produced. This album is definitely different from where they came from but I won’t hear slander as to “over the top vocals” thats kind of a weird thing to say considering the genre i suggest listening to early glassjaw demos if you want some on point vocals.
Long time Glassjaw fan here: fully agree with this, I wouldn’t give it more than a 6 either. Sounds like most of it was written in a day and hardly any was refined. Could have been another good EP if they’d shaved off the filler.
I think everything about this album review is terrible! The first 2 LPs are AMAZING! And the EPs that followed were great too. Being a hardcore GJ fan since day one and even knowing Daryl and Beck for a long time this album is Fire! Billy Rymer on drums did an amazing job as always and Beck doing both bass and guitar in the record he made the tones heavy as hell and sound amazing on my studio speakers you can hear everything loud abs clear. Daryl will is one of the best and unique vocalist there is. You know how many bands wouldn’t be around If it wasn’t for GlassJaw! Anyone who thinks this album is below an 8 is obviously deaf and not a GlassJaw fan.
I believe I have reached the point of subconsciously despising mr. melon, no more apologizing for your bald ass
Everything you….
Is the greatest CD. This one is okay I think better than worship
Are you too prideful to revoke this, listen to coloring book and redo this or add coloring book review?
Daryl’s vocals have always been compared to chinos, it’s not like he’s changed that much, difference is Daryl can sing live lol. I loved the album, shira is my jam.
Dear Anthony,
Don’t fuck this up.
– anonymous
I totally disagree with everything you said. Like everything, music is subjective so I suppose we don’t have the same taste. But seriously Glassjaw are the shit.
Would be curious to hear your take on Apex by Unleash the Archers. I love love love it but you don’t seem to be a power metal head like me 🙂
This album is fucking awesome. Go back to lil’ peepee or what the fuck his name is.
