blessthefall 2.0 (Official Thread)

[dancelukedance]

Thoughts on the new album and their signing to fearless records..

[po0ty]

Anywhere to listen to said album? I have a fear that it'll suck major dick though. Most likely it'll just be ok...



hah looking on their myspace all of those dudes look exactly the same

[Burn That Shit]

Thoughts on the new album: Going to be worse than first album, will have some popularity, and then shortly afterwords band will fade into nonexistence.

Thoughts on Fearless Records: Holy shit, you guys suck at signing bands.

[thesafeword]

No thanks.

[ThisIsNotDan]

Fearless is on quite a tear lol

[No.2]

More like blessthereallyfuckinlameband.

[dancelukedance]

More like blessthereallyfuckinlameband.

That was so lame, not witt a'tall.

Something like this may have been feasable

blessthefail

haha

[Five-Star]

loll

[anthonydarko]

I could care less because I'm not 15 years old, I listen to good Christan bands, and I can't wear girl pants.

[dancelukedance]

"christian" bands are so unappealing.

Couldn't care less*

[anthonydarko]

"christian" bands are so unappealing.

Couldn't care less*
More appealing than standing in the crowd of one of BTF's shows with all the 14 year old kids acting like they're hardcore by listening to whiny "heavy" music as they fake kung fu each other.

[AndrewIcex]

The band, the label, is just doing a big whoopsie... that's my assessment.

There is no way this album will suck. My first thoughts were that beau would ruin the band, but he is easily a better vocalist than craig and a better person. He may not be the best singer, but this album will be sick.

[thesafeword]

I'm calling it with rockfingaz23, this album will be sick!

[FueledByFrodo]

The new guy is a better singer. I'll give you that. But this band is atrocious.

[AndrewIcex]

X-)

[vivian_vitality]

I think the new album is going to be pretty sick.

[dancelukedance]

Ok, so they've finally got their act together


New album, Witness, October!

Anyone still give a flying fuck about this band?

[Derka Derka]

they put on a good live show when i saw them with between the buried and me and norma jean like 3 years ago
their bassist is a good screamer but besides that i'm not to excited for their new cd

[SolitaryBlue]

I might end up checking the new album out, only because I thought the last one
with Craig was alright. But I somehow feel like I wont like it..

[Lemmi!]

new song is ace

[vivian_vitality]

^ agreed

[dancelukedance]

Who's eager to hear Witness?

[michaela123]

Idk man, they've gotten a LOT better, especially live, saw them on the ABR tour this summer and holy shit, I mean they are by no means an extremely heavy band, but compared to the last cd, this ones got some real heavy stuff in it. This time they are going for more heavy and more soft vox at the same time, I think they accomplished that. But give their live show a chance, they fucking bump

[Sauceee]

I really like blessthefall. His Last Walk was a solid album and I really like the new one, God Wears Gucci, especially the chorus.

[michaela123]

The song clip they put up, 2.0 i think was the song, was BAD ASS

[dancelukedance]

The song clip they put up, 2.0 i think was the song, was BAD ASS

im gonna listen to it now. It annoying how they've only been putting clips up

[michaela123]

Oh I know, suspense I guess. Idk, I personally think the album should be sick

[dancelukedance]

Im really eager to hear the album now! that 2.0 song sounds bad ass!

[Lemmi!]

new song tomorrow!

[dancelukedance]

new song tomorrow!

Good!

Its quite frustrating only hearing clips

[dancelukedance]

New song is up!

[Lemmi!]

it's alright i guess, the other song was better

[OdeToTheSun]

I need to go listen to those new songs.

[fly_guy]

Unfortunately, the new album sounds a bit dull. Pretty sure its the sophomore curse

[dancelukedance]

it's alright i guess, the other song was better

I think i prefer the latest one

I need to go listen to those new songs.

Do so and report backl!

Unfortunately, the new album sounds a bit dull. Pretty sure its the sophomore curse

It sounds alright, His Last Walk goes down as one of my personal favourite albums, ever! So it will be nearly impossible to beat

[OdeToTheSun]

Do so and report back!

The newest song is freakin great! God Wears Gucci is alright at best.
I think Witness will be so much better than His Last Walk.

[dancelukedance]

Yeah i wasnt that big on God wears gucci either. The clip to 2.0 sounds awesome!

[OdeToTheSun]

Yeah i wasnt that big on God wears gucci either. The clip to 2.0 sounds awesome!
I didn't hear that one I don't think. Is that one on myspace too?

[dancelukedance]

I didn't hear that one I don't think. Is that one on myspace too?

Yeah it should be, its only a clip though and i think its in a blog...

[batmannj]

They will get a ton of hate on this website, but I'm looking forward to Witness. I do think that Fearless is a crappy label, but this is a bright spot

[OdeToTheSun]

Yeah it should be, its only a clip though and i think its in a blog...
Ah, okay. I'll go find it and listen.

[SophomoricSlump]

The new guy is a better singer. I'll give you that. But this band is atrocious.

They were amazing at Bamboozle, as you can recall Mr. Northrup. >:P

--
As for the new album I think it'll be great.
Since there's no more Craig the band is going to be much better off, you can tell just by listening to their new songs.

[michaela123]

The new song is pretty good, it has a sick not so generic breakdown unlike most bands these days, and amazing guitar work. This song > God Wears Gucci for sure and I hope the rest of the album is harder just like WLOM

[FueledByFrodo]

They sent my dad to the quiet room. And he never goes to the quiet room.

[SophomoricSlump]

They sent my dad to the quiet room. And he never goes to the quiet room.

I know. It made me feel special.
You should've been in that pit with Ann and I.
Bodies were falling from the sky and they played my favorite song<3

[vivian_vitality]

I'm lovin the new song. But I do think that GWG is slightly better, but they're both amazing songs. Witness is going to be awesome.

[dancelukedance]

Perhaps a leak in the next few days? and they've mentioned something about "Big news" soon? they might stream it on myspace, i wanna be there to witness it

[OdeToTheSun]

Perhaps a leak in the next few days?
Probably bad of me to say, but I hope so.

[michaela123]

I want a leak! Only 2 weeks til it comes out, there has to be one floating around there somewhere.

[dancelukedance]

Probably bad of me to say, but I hope so.

haha same

I want a leak! Only 2 weeks til it comes out, there has to be one floating around there somewhere.

I agree, im really looking forward to it. Whats left of me is great!

[boltzz]

Its streaming on myspace on tuesday and wednesday, someone will have a rip up by then

[michaela123]

THERE SHOULD BE A RIP BY NOW! I mean, I'm going to buy it, but I always download before it comes out just because, and these guys are doing a damn good job at keeping it from being ripped. Boooooo

[dancelukedance]

I have wednesday off, so im gonna have a good listen to it! Cannot wait

[Lemmi!]

i have a feeling the albums gonna be sick

[dancelukedance]

i have a feeling the albums gonna be sick

Same.

Im psyched!

[carlster!]

I'm ready...but Could Tell a Love ftw x's eleventy thousand

[dancelukedance]

I sat down and spun it through last night, and upon first listen i was very impressed. It's fucken heavy, the guitar work is much better and the breakdowns aren't generic. I think Beau took on the vocals well, he sounds right at home.

What are your thoughts?

[Lemmi!]

i like it more than the last album

[dancelukedance]

i like it more than the last album

I'd have to listen to it more before i could make that claim, because 'His Last Walk' is one of my favourites. But it could very well exceed it!

Favourite track at the moment?

Agreed on everything you just said. I'm loving it!

[dancelukedance]

Nice one! Yeah im enjoying it so much, what about the opener '2.0'? fucken sick

[Lemmi!]

I'd have to listen to it more before i could make that claim, because 'His Last Walk' is one of my favourites. But it could very well exceed it!

Favourite track at the moment?

probably "Hey, Baby Here's That Song You Wanted" that riff is sick

[michaela123]

Bad ass album. BAD ASS, 2.0 is ridic

[donwagenblast]

Witness is so much better than His Last Walk. I'm really enjoying it right now.

[batmannj]

is this out there in high quality? I *ahem* happened upon the low quality version.

[Jaimehere]

great sophomore release, oh and i'm hella happy thay changed their image from when they first started out

hey we're fucking emo! :D

http://www.holamun2.com/files/images/mun2-images/news/lets-talk/lets-talk-blessthefall.jpg
hey we're blessthefall and we play great music :D

[SomedayTheFire]

Beau sounds so alike Craig at times on this album it's annoying. Good album though.

[SophGod]

WOW, Beau's clean vocals sound so much like Mabbit's.

i'm digging this.

[donwagenblast]

Beau > Craig, I never liked Mabbit's vocals with that band, I think he's a great fit with Escape the Fate, and I'm glad with Beau in blessthefall, so I guess everything worked out peachy for everyone.

I think that Craig Mabbit has always been a trend hopping whore douchebag too. ETF's new record might have been the worst thing to happen to music since William Hung or Fefe Dobson.

Beau sounds a ton better live as well. I saw them on the last tour they did with ABR and BTF was awesome, Beau was terrific on the new stuff and the old favorites sounded better than ever with him at the helm. I like this band a lot more now.

yep

[batmannj]

is there a good quality leak yet or no?

[Jaimehere]

is there a good quality leak yet or no?

yes there is my first download of the album SUCKED big time, i waited for another day then found one, try searching again

[batmannj]

yes there is my first download of the album SUCKED big time, i waited for another day then found one, try searching again

I think I found one that was about 80 GB, that sounds right. Double the size of the first one. I got the first one and I listened to the intro (which sounded cool aside from the ridiculously low quality) and thought it sounded like poo.

Yep there's a good one, try strikegently...


I am so impressed with this album, i've been spinning it repeatadely!


I love the title track and 'five ninety'

[Jaimehere]

^ same here dude i think its the 6th time in 2 days i'v played this album, can't really pick a fave from the album, i feel as if the whole album as a whole is very solid and all the songs complement each other, though a comment i could say is that the title track is the heaviest song they have ever made PERIOD

[aradiantsunrise]

This album is so much better than His Last Walk. Better vocals, better lyrics, better instrumentation, better everything haha. I definitely prefer Beau's voice over Craig's.

[fly_guy]

Craig is a dick.

[dancelukedance]

Haha yeah ive played it twice a day since it leaked. Every track is awesome! there are 808 booms everywhere and the production is so good!

Craig is a dick.

Fucken oath

[donwagenblast]

Craig is a dick.


Yes he is. I love how he left blessthefall to spend time with his daughter, and then like 5 months later he was the singer for Escape the Fate.

[Derka Derka]

wow way overuse of reverb on the snare (and most of the drums) for like the entire album. actually there is an over use of reverb on a lot of the instruments and vocals for the entire album but besides that it's alright, not groundbreaking but it is better then their last release.

[SomedayTheFire]

I prefer Beau to Craig but jeeeeeeeez, sometimes he is plainly trying to sing the same as him.

[dancelukedance]

I prefer Beau to Craig but jeeeeeeeez, sometimes he is plainly trying to sing the same as him.

Yeah i agree, like in 'Five ninety' durign the chorus his voice has an uncanny resembelance to craigs.


But witness is fucken awesome

[vivian_vitality]

Sure their voices sound the same at some parts, but I'm pretty sure when they were recording the album Beau wasn't like ," Hmm, I wonder how much I can sound like Craig."

[dancelukedance]

Sure their voices sound the same at some parts, but I'm pretty sure when they were recording the album Beau wasn't like ," Hmm, I wonder how much I can sound like Craig."

Thats true.


I can't get over how well it's produced...

[SomedayTheFire]

Sure their voices sound the same at some parts, but I'm pretty sure when they were recording the album Beau wasn't like ," Hmm, I wonder how much I can sound like Craig."

I'd say quite the contrary, I'd say he is trying his hardest to sound as much as e can like Craig then on the next album Beau will come into his own as blesstehfall's singer.

[vivian_vitality]

I'd say quite the contrary, I'd say he is trying his hardest to sound as much as e can like Craig then on the next album Beau will come into his own as blesstehfall's singer.

But why would he intentionally try to sound like Craig? What would he gain from that?

[SomedayTheFire]

But why would he intentionally try to sound like Craig? What would he gain from that?

To try to appeal to fans of the Craig era, so they wouldn't just immediately write him off :shrug:

[vivian_vitality]

Eh, I guess.

[aradiantsunrise]

I don't think Beau would sing like Craig intentionally. That's just how he sings, you can hear it at times in the Take The Crown songs as well. His voice also resembles Brooks from Sullivan but he's definitely got his own sound too.

[michaela123]

It IS the same band though, and while him and Craig do sound similar sometimes, to make a successful sophomore album in most cases it SHOULD sound similar.

[dancelukedance]

It IS the same band though, and while him and Craig do sound similar sometimes, to make a successful sophomore album in most cases it SHOULD sound similar.

Yes, thats right. What an inmprovement from blessthefall

[SophGod]

I can totally see why they chose to have the sound be more like what they've already done than to do something ground breaking. If they were to change up their sound too much, people would automatically blame Beau for the change and it would be a mess. Instead they put out a solid but not ground breaking album to introduce people to what Beau brings to the table without any dramatic, overwhelming changes.

[michaela123]

I don't know, it's pretty gound breaking, or real close to it, this album fucking rapes, they are about to blow up as soon as it actually releases tomorrow.

This

It's exactly right. That's how it always seems to happen with established bands that get new vocalists.

[sweepthenation]

I agree, only times I can think of it working are for Underoath after switching to Spencer, and Emarosa after adding Jonny Craig,

[donwagenblast]

I was wondering how they got to co-headline with Finch, of all bands, but Witness is certainly to proof I needed.

[carlster!]

I agree, only times I can think of it working are for Underoath after switching to Spencer, and Emarosa after adding Jonny Craig,
I kid you not, I thought about not posting that last bit just because of those two specific instances. I figured some of the dbags on here would tear me apart lol

[aradiantsunrise]

This is cool, Beau talks about what each song is about on the new album.

http://www.altpress.com/features/trackfall.htm

[Five-Star]

New album is so much better then the first.

[sweepthenation]

Just got the new album, the first track is so good for being so short

[flynn92]

New album is so much better then the first.


lets not be hasty here... don't forget the vocalist Craig Mabbitt who MADE that band. I agree though, the new album is solid.

He didn't "make the band." He was a sideshow with his onstage antics. Now with Beau, blessthefall is a more cohesive group, and they've made one of the better screamo records of the year. And to those who say what they've done isn't groundbreaking, I think it really is at some points. Witness is so much better than His Last Walk, in terms of production, lyrics, and musicianship.

Hittin the charts!

[de1337ed]

i eargasm'ed through the entire album when i first heard it. i still do.

Nice

It's great, the production is flawless

[B4Bronco6]

New album is dope.

Five Ninety is one of my favorite tracks.

[Jake Denning]

I got rid of any Craig Mabbitt-era blessthefall; I cant stand that douchebag.

I think Witness is alright though, I'd give it like an 80%

[donwagenblast]

I'm right behind you with the deletion. I thought his last walk crossed the border into cheesyness way too often.

[michaela123]

New album is dope.

Five Ninety is one of my favorite tracks.

Definitely one of the heaviest songs on the album. That song gives me shivers.

[SophGod]

Witness is much better than i thought it would be and i've listened to it a lot more than i thought i would. very interested in where the bands going to go from here.

[sweepthenation]

Its a great album. 2.0 is one of my favorite album intros ever, gets me so pumped

[iluvptv]

saw them at sonar room in baltimore last night, beau knows how to get the crowd going =] Blessthefall for the win!

[dancelukedance]

Its a great album. 2.0 is one of my favorite album intros ever, gets me so pumped



Yeah its a sick intro!

[OdeToTheSun]

I got rid of any Craig Mabbitt-era blessthefall; I cant stand that douchebag.

I did the exact same thing and for the same reason. Fuck that dude.

[donwagenblast]

I'm actually going to see Escape the Fate on Halloween (going for the Sleeping and Atreyu, not them). I might go in a prisoner's get-up and say I'm dressed as Ronnie Radke.

How the fuck is Craig an Douchebag?

[T-bag]

Anywhere to listen to said album? I have a fear that it'll suck major dick though. Most likely it'll just be ok...



hah looking on their myspace all of those dudes look exactly the same

Myspace is not punk.

[Peerless]

New album leaked, but I'm waiting!!

[Mario57]

Witness pt.2, every song sounds the same again (Meet Me At The Gates is the only exception)

[AmongthechosenX]

the last half of the CD has SOME definition....

the first half sounds like one continuous boring song
