Every Time I Die - New Junk Aesthetic

[Drew Beringer]

Every Time I Die – New Junk Aesthetic
Release Date: September 15, 2009
Record Label: Epitaph

Every Time I Die wants to destroy the world. While their previous albums have inflicted some damage on Mother Earth, the Buffalo quintet is not satisfied. The fact of the matter is ETID wants to leave their mark, so they’ve promised that their fifth studio album (and Epitaph debut), New Junk Aesthetic, would blow a huge gaping asshole into the earth. So if you’ve felt the earth shake recently, that’s just me recklessly playing this album way too loud, as New Junk Aesthetic is the heaviest Every Time I Die record to date.

Working with producer Steve Evetts once again, Every Time I Die set out to give manbirth to the most vicious record off their career; a record that kicks you in the teeth, shreds your balls, and shows no mercy. [Opening track “Roman Holiday” sets the bar high, as fuzzy feedback and a dirty riff scribble their way across the song before bowing out to a devastating breakdown that could TKO Brock Lesnar. “The Marvelous Slut” is full of urgency as vocalist Keith Buckley yells, “Why do I always give myself away?," as Greg Puciato (Dillinger Escape Plan’s vocalist) adds some nice backing screams.

Guitarists Andy Williams and Jordan Buckley shine throughout New Junk, as their riffs and power chords dominate each song. “Who Invited The Russian Soldier?” is early evidence of this, as the guitarists buzzsaw their way through, ultimately cumulating into a final breakdown that’s very reminiscent of the Hot Damn! era. “Wanderlust” features filthy southern charm (which we came to love on 2005’s Gutter Phenomenon) and the album’s catchiest chorus (thus resulting in the first single for New Junk).

“For The Record” and “White Smoke” are sure to be crowd-pleasers, as each track features the soul and fervor from earlier ETID material. “For The Record” never slows down, as the power chords, vocals, and breakdowns will rattle your skull as if Bruce Smith just sacked you. “Organ Grinder” is exactly what the title implies, a huge track that fuses all the best ingredients of Every Time I Die to create a delicious ass kicker. “The Sweet Life” (which features vocal contributions from The Bronx’s Matt Caughthran) is the official party song of New Junk Aesthetic, while bonus tracks “Buffalo 666” and “Goddam Kids These Days” end New Junk Aesthetic in the superb, biting fashion we’ve come to expect from the band. “Goddam Kids These Days” appears to be a commentary on the scene of today, as Buckley exclaims, “I’ll be spinning in my grave for the rest of my life/have I taught the children nothing all this time?”

Lyrically speaking, Keith Buckley sounds like a man near the brink of insanity. On “Who Invited The Russian Soldier?,” Buckley shouts, “There’s nothing to see here/and nothing gazes back at us.” Throughout New Junk Aesthetic, it seems that Buckley cannot decide whether he wants to believe his words or if he should turn himself into the asylum. Musically, the band has never sounded better. The guitar work from Williams and Jordan Buckley really sets this album apart from their previous albums, as well as any album in its genre right now. The tantalizing guitar licks will keep listeners coming back to New Junk repeatedly, while the rhythm work from bassist Josh Newton and (the now departed) drummer Mike Novak keep the pace of the album at a chaotic level.

New Junk Aesthetic is the most complete Every Time I Die album yet. It’s the kind of album that will maintain lifelong fans, gain new fans and win back the fans that may have thought ETID had fallen off their game. The truth is Every Time I Die has never sounded better, and New Junk Aesthetic, musically speaking, should be classified as a weapon of mass destruction. I just hope the earth recovers in time for album number six.

[katieissweet]

Very happy to hear such a good review of this album. Makes me even more pumped.

[Kyo]

Is someone else going to review this album? I don't particularly care for this biased drivel.

Nah, Drew, I'm just pulling your chain. Good review, however I just don't particularly care for their sound...

[Adam Pfleider]

stoked. do you know if I can get the deluxe edition in stores?

[Mcbeans]

Soooo no pete wentz?
If so good.

[OldJersey]

Fuck yes. This review got me pumped Drew. Besides "Wanderlust" do a lot of the other tracks have that southern crunch to it?

[Nick Le]

I think this might be my new favorite review of yours haha. Good review, can't wait to pick this up.

[aidspool]

Soooo no pete wentz?
If so good.
He's still on it!

[Romancebled]

really good review. can't wait to hear this.

[Shatter_Glass]

can. not. waitttt

psycho drums.

buttery riffs.

overall

NaZZZty

[Supernovacaine]

Beauty! Losing my mind waiting for this.

[BozzBlonde]

Gosh, what song is Pete Wentz featured on? I've been dying to know but it's not posted anywhere. Anyway, I can't wait to buy this album.

[mycuban]

i can't wait for this, so pumped.

[acratertocoffin]

Gosh, what song is Pete Wentz featured on? I've been dying to know but it's not posted anywhere. Anyway, I can't wait to buy this album.
They're not going to say, and you won't be able to tell which one he's on.

[BozzBlonde]

They're not going to say, and you won't be able to tell which one he's on.
Gosh. He's supposed to be singing on it, right? I'm like dying to know.

[denissuxx]

Great review. Love the last paragraph

[ndoleman]

nasty album

[Don'tBanMeBro]

Damn Drew you got such tiny eyes, they make ur face look so weird.

[ddb43]

Cannot wait for this release. I really enjoyed your review of this. Hopefully it's as good as you say it is.

[Gunwalls]

So Fucking Pumped.

[tanyanafosho]

Awesome review! I can't wait to pick this up!

[popdisaster00]

the first paragraph was enough to convince me to check it out. I honestly haven't liked much of ETID after hot damn, but I will for sure check this out.

[xsinkshipsx]

so your saying it's "even better than burial plot..."?


cant wait

[Yellowcard2006]

Nice review Drew. I get the feeling this is going on your TOP 10.

[Greek]

yes yes yes yes!

[ManicanParty49]

With my best friend really into the band, and this review...I'm checking out the entire discography now.

I, like many, really want to know where the Wentz cameo is. I actually like FOB, so this intrigued me when I first saw it.

[MorningStar10]

What is the Greg cameo like thats what i was most looking forward to Keith and Greg tearing it up.
Great review and they just been announced for England's Taste of Chaos, cannot wait.

[Paperchase]

You know, I wasn't even a big fan until Hot Damn! released. And from there, every album is raising the bar. I still listen to The Big Dirty at least 1 time all the way through per day. I've already pre-ordered the Deluxe edition for the bonus tracks, and I'm pissed at this review. It's only made me hate the fact that I have to wait another half of a month.

[forkandknife]

my plan for the rest of the year,

daisy until this comes out, this until beggars is released in physical
and daisy on out until i can listen to other music again

[Mattylikesfilms]

Soooo stoked. Hopefully my pre order comes in a week!

[inthemidst]

This is great news. I'm psyched for a new ETID album. I was a little disappointed with The Big Dirty.

[owiseone35]

Awesome you just got me even more pumped for this. Should be in my top 10 AOTY with Fun, Grizzly Bear and KDevine.

[WakingTheMisery]

If I wanted to listen to He Is Legend, I'd put on I Am Hollywood.

[DItaliaO]

Drew, which song is Pete Wentz on?

[bard]

great review. can't wait for my pre-order to come in.

also, when you say heaviest album they've done, which album did you consider to be their heaviest before NJA? cause i think it's The Big Dirty.

[wkebrder35]

I can't wait for this album to melt my face off!

[Chris Fallon]

Can't wait to hear this.

[Alex DiVincenzo]

Awesome review. Made me really excited for this release.

[AntiCult]

sweet review. super pumped for this.

[Rob Hrx]

Yes: this review just confirms what I suspected all along... can't wait to hear this

[Keagan Ilvonen]

So stoked for this album.

[alexbrew]

reading this interview made me even more stoked about this album. nice work, drew.

[agreene]

can. not. waitttt

psycho drums.

NaZZZty
even better than "burial plot..."!!!

man, i'm so stoked for this album and it's artwork.

[ManicanParty49]

HI ADAM! Let's drive around and blast The Big Dirty sometime soon.

[bones jones]

constructive criticism, not bashing, but the wording in this review makes it sound like you're trying way too hard. the bruce smith line (while i get it, go buffalo) seems so forced.

but i'm glad you like the record and i can't wait to hear the whole thing

[screamoURI]

the tshirt that comes w/the preorder is bad ass too. can't remember if i got the deluxe or regular. wouldn't mind the 2 bonus tracks

[iam1bearcat]

this is what a review should do: pump you up for a (hopefully) incredible album.
succeeded here, and i'm not even a huge fan of ETID (and that "type" of music in general), but will definitely check this album out.

[maker_break]

If I wanted to listen to He Is Legend, I'd put on I Am Hollywood.
I kind of feel that He Is Legend and Maylene and the Sons of Disaster always had a pretty halfass southern sound. With Maylene, it sounds like a gimmick most of the time. I haven't really listened to enough He is Legend to say. Correct me if I'm wrong, but from what I've heard they went from hardcore to that southern-metalcore/bluesy subgenre after their debut.

I've just recently been getting into ETID, but I like what I've heard so far. They manage to sound hardcore, southern, and pretty awesome all at the same time. It doesn't sound forced and it doesn't sound like some retarded gimmick. But the only other album I've listened to is The Big Dirty. Recommendations, anyone?

[Broclee]

So pumped for this release.

[aradiantsunrise]

Can't wait to hear this! After seeing The Final Destination, the song title Organ Grinder will forever remind me of that escalator scene haha. Overall suckish film though. :shrug:

[maker_break]

It's in 3D, right?

[aradiantsunrise]

It's in 3D, right?
It is but my theater didn't have it in 3D.

listen to hot damn!

[iAMhollyood315]

I think the fact that drew gave it a 91% is giving me high high hopes. because judeing on his past reviews he doesn't hand out an A- like condoms at planned parenthood.

[Drew Beringer]

Other than "Wanderlust," there isn't a lot of southern influence on this. Maybe just a bit here, but not like on Gutter or Big Dirty.

[Simulcast]

Excellent writing Drew. I cannot wait for this.

[maker_break]

Other than "Wanderlust," there isn't a lot of southern influence on this. Maybe just a bit here, but not like on Gutter or Big Dirty.
So, as I gather from the review... the entire album is fast/hard/"earth shattering." Is Wanderlust a slower song?

[BrandonLocke]

Love this band, can't wait to hear it.

[miketheauthor]

I'm so damn excited for this! Heavy ETID is my favorite ETID.

[manican sex]

[jay_klinkhammer]

I WANT IT! There is nothing right now that I want more.

[kevinjordan]

Watched the DVD yesterday... absolutely hilarious!

[ctmk]

sooooooo stoked seeing them on the 16 in san francisco there couldnt be a better way to start my freshman year in college

[prettymucharobo]

I loved Gutter Phenomenon and The Big Dirty was nothing short of amazing. I'm really looking forward to this record. Great review, Drew.

[Eurotrash Drock]

the first paragraph was enough to convince me to check it out. I honestly haven't liked much of ETID after hot damn, but I will for sure check this out.
agreed.

[M.C COB]

I have never been so ready to have my a hole ripped and thoroughly enjoy it.

[polock]

when they wanted to bust a gaping hole in the earth i think they missed and hit my ass cause i am crapping my pants in anticipation for this album

[MyNameIsRoss]

Man, should I check this out?

[guitarman2189]

Theres so many sweet albums coming out in Sept and Oct. I feel like I'll be spending lots of money lol

[Broclee]

The comments in this thread are solid fuckin' gold.

you meant to say "of"? :-)

[KingsCrossing]

Glad this band/album received high praise, but this review reads more like a press release.

[InBetweenAisles]

That was a great sounding review. I can't wait to listen to this album.

[xBLACKOUTx]

What is the Greg cameo like thats what i was most looking forward to Keith and Greg tearing it up.
Great review and they just been announced for England's Taste of Chaos, cannot wait.
The Greg cameo is great. They already released the song with the part. I think it's great.

[AtlanticRadio]

I always enjoy reading Drew reviews. I've strayed from heavier music, but I'll probably give this a listen just to give my ass a good kicking.

[awakeohsleeper]

Front cover vaguely reminds me of Pan's Labyrinth.

[acratertocoffin]

Gosh. He's supposed to be singing on it, right? I'm like dying to know.
He's screaming, like he always does.

[say no to scene]

Gosh. He's supposed to be singing on it, right? I'm like dying to know.
check wikipedia
they'll probably have it (soon)

[Nick Le]

my plan for the rest of the year,

daisy until this comes out, this until beggars is released in physical
and daisy on out until i can listen to other music again
this comes out the same day as beggars...

[gladnads]

I've only listened to a few songs, and I'm afraid to buy it. I expected the band to evolve like they have with every CD, but from what I've heard it the same if not worse than the Big Dirty.

[gladnads]

I think the album art is going to persuade me to buy it.

[Bloodsucker II]

this review made me very stoked.

[ilovetocuddle]

to say i'm excited for this album would be a huge understatement. your review just made the wait seem so much longer. well done!

[InaGreendase]

Best album since Hot Damn!.

[franxcore]

sooooooo stoked seeing them on the 16 in san francisco there couldnt be a better way to start my freshman year in college
where you going to school? i'm so looking forward to this cd and seeing them live. they always deliver.

It's possible anyone can rate this albumt aht high? Wow, I'm going to start the engine of my mom's car and fall asleep inside the garage.

[Dymytry Vance]

[BurymeWalkAway]

I need to hear this sooooon. The 4 songs that have been released have been played atleast 100 times all together. I really dig Wanderlust it's like my drinking song.

[timb89]

they need more songs like the new black.

[Drew Beringer]

I love how users are rating an album they haven't even heard yet. lol

[thefirewithin]

Looking forward to this release....

[Pawan1993]

I love how users are rating an album they haven't even heard yet. lol
Exactly. And they're rating it shit as well. Rate like people rated Copeland's You Are My Sunshine last year. It went up to like 97 and the new ETID is 76? Copeland deserved the score but c'mon atleast give the new ETID a min. of 90.

[TMS2787]

I love how users are rating an album they haven't even heard yet. lol
Can't you disable that function?

Just got this and will be giving a full listen to it later today. Good review.

[inVINCEable1008]

So would you describe the drumming as psy-ko!? Or is it more NaZZZty?

[mht]

Who the fuck lowered the user score?
i know i helped

[guitarliketom]

im digging this so far.. may take time to grow. its not as punch you in the face intense as tbd is, but combines the older style slash with the new southern rock thing going on. some great lyrics as usual

[BurymeWalkAway]

I think this cd has some of the best lyrics Keith has ever written in this band. I'm really digging this cd.

[reav]

I love how users are rating an album they haven't even heard yet. lol
yes, yes they have. in 160kbps, but they have.

obviously, I can't speak for everyone who voted, but the album IS out there.

[Drew Beringer]

yes, yes they have. in 160kbps, but they have.

obviously, I can't speak for everyone who voted, but the album IS out there.
yeah I know, but I made that post BEFORE the album leaked, thank you very much.

[Simulcast]

White Smoke is the best song on the record. I haven't heard the two bonus tracks yet though.

[reav]

yeah I know, but I made that post BEFORE the album leaked, thank you very much.
well, just ignore them, Drew.

people have been voting down platform exclusive videogames on metacritic for years now.

Tell us more about the lyrics. Who Invited the Russian Soldier sounds morbidly depressing to me. What other themes have you picked out throughout the record?

[zubinmoosa]

Wow. Can't really get into this band. Nice review though

[bard]

i was very underwhelmed when i listened to this....

don't know what to say.

I think the record as a whole has PRIMO PIT POTENTIAL! ;)

[MoChroi]

I don't think people realize that Pete Wentz was in hardcore bands with like Tim Mcilrath of Rise Against and shit before Fall Out Boy. He can actually kinda wail.

[MBIIdollaBill]

With my best friend really into the band, and this review...I'm checking out the entire discography now.

I, like many, really want to know where the Wentz cameo is. I actually like FOB, so this intrigued me when I first saw it.
i actually stopped being an FOB fan due to their 2 latest albums, but wentz can be a damn good screamer if he wants....and im desperately trying to figure out wat song he's on.

[Broclee]

i actually stopped being an FOB fan due to their 2 latest albums, but wentz can be a damn good screamer if he wants....and im desperately trying to figure out wat song he's on.
Don't write those two FOB albums off (well, IOH, sure). But seriously, come back to Folie a Duex in a few years or if you ever develop a taste for really good pop music, and I promise you'll love it.


In other news, this is still killing my soul.

[xstreaksinskyx]

alot of people seem to forget that pete wentz was the frontman of a very big hardcore band in chicago called arma angelus so most likely hes vocal contribution will not be melodic. im actually excited to hear his vocals being a big arma angelus fan

[HogarthHughes]

Finally got this album in the mail yesterday. It's blowing me away on every level. Keith's lyrics, the riffs, everything is just phenomenal. Sounds like a melting pot of all of their albums. I shat myself...

[depressionista]

this album rules, even the bonus tracks are killer.

[riseagainstfan]

Epitaph has released some really awesome albums this year Set Your Goals, New Found Glory, Frank Turner now this, really great album

[sman789]

Great album, just listened to the whole thing at the gym and wasn't disappointed with any tracks.

[NickPeerSays]

Keith is probably my favorite lyricist.

[yayitsjoe]

this is fantastic.

[introduction]

love the lyrics. this album is fkn crazy.

[MattLewis]

Good review.

This is definitely my favorite ETID record so far.

[kevinAIWW]

Doesn't beat The Big Dirty.

[CarouselBoy]

so I never gave this band a shot, and then downloaded The Marvelous Slut a while back and heard Wanderlust and I decided to give them and this record a listen. I bought it about a week ago and I am now an ETID fan. I feel like I've been missing out.

[kevinAIWW]

Gosh, what song is Pete Wentz featured on? I've been dying to know but it's not posted anywhere. Anyway, I can't wait to buy this album.
Pete Wentz = failure.

If you think this album was great, go pick up The Big Dirty. It's about 100 times the intensity in my opinion. And I've been following ETID for years.

[Broclee]

Pete Wentz = failure.
Nope. Not at all.

Also, apparently it's One Quarter of a Revolution.

[kevinAIWW]

Wentz is not a failure in any sense of the word.

The track he's on is One Quarter of a Revolution.


I was killing two birds with one stone.

Let's put it this way; Pete Wentz is a dickless piece of shit. OOOOH I run a label. OOOOOH I'm in the biggest sell-out band in the universe. OOOH i'll admit that I think I am gay for press attention! Nobody on earth cares anymore. The fact that he is playing in that song makes my respect for the album dwindle.

Nobody on earth cares anymore. The fact that he is playing in that song makes my respect for the album dwindle.
You sound butthurt and jealous, as well as a shitty fan. Get over yourself.

[BozzBlonde]

Pete Wentz = failure.
Proof?

butthurt? I'm not jealous either. I never want anything to do with his public stunts. And I'm not a shitty fan. I'm just not a fan of Pete Wentz. At all.

I don't need proof

You let a two second guest appearance "dwindle" your "respect" for the album. Yep, sounds like a shitty fan.

Also, jealous? You call Wentz a failure, even though he's helped create three of the most solid pop-punk and pop albums released in the past ten years, started his own successful record imprint, a successful clothing line, and has raised a lot of money for various charities and organizations over the years. How in the hell is he a failure?

Dude. Just fuck off, honestly. I'm 16. I'm more mature than a cyber-fight with an asshole that calls kids retarded undermindedly. I don't care. I don't give a damn about you, or about Peter mother fucking Wentz. So shut the fuck up.

If you didn't care you wouldn't of said anything in the first place. Just sayin'.

If you can't defend your points, don't begin the discourse.

Also, I never once insinuated or thought that you were "retarded." I think the things you were saying were stupid, but that's about it.

Then you have no reasoning behind your statement. Gtfo.

I don't even care. I have an opinion. I don't like Pete Wentz. Jesus fucking Christ. In my eyes he is a failure. Someone like Claudio Sanchez is successful in my eyes. I don't want your shit anymore.

If you don't want anymore shit, stop responding.

I still don't understand why you think he's a failure. He's accomplished and done things that people would just die to do. Not to mention he donates to Invisible Children regularly and other various charities.

Don't write those two FOB albums off (well, IOH, sure). But seriously, come back to Folie a Duex in a few years or if you ever develop a taste for really good pop music, and I promise you'll love it.


In other news, this is still killing my soul.
Idk somehow "really good pop music" seems like an oxymoron to me. Sure, sometimes there are pop songs that I can tolerate from time to time, but FOB in my mind should be the post-hardcore band that they were for their first 2 albums. I'm not saying they can't change their sound... just that they gotta do it smartly somehow, idk

Wait, did you just state that Fall Out Boy made post-hardcore music? What the fuck?

[ajl1992]

This is such a brutal album that is so good. Every track is amazing 5/5

[ajl1992]

After One Quarter of a Revolution is one of the most insane songs ever
