I am pretty excited for this album.
What do you guys think?

08/24/08, 05:46 PM
cant wait.
I am a patient boy
I wait, I wait, I wait
My time is like water down a drain
Everybody's moving, everything is moving
Please don't leave me to remain
In the waiting room
I don't want the news
I'm not a part of it
I don't want the news
I have no use for it
Sitting outside of town
Everybody's always down
Because...
They can't get up
But I don't sit by idly
I'm planning a big surprise
I'm gonna fight for what I want to be
I won't make the same mistakes
Because I know how much time that wastes
Function is the key
In the waiting room

I'm excited for this album. I love listening to new Senses Fail. They're the band who's music always serves as a pleasant reminder of how far I've come since sophomore year of high school (taste-wise) and reinforces the fact that I could very well still be entrenched in this filth. It's like watching that godawful contemporary Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle cartoon that debuted around 2002, only Senses Fail are clearly trying to reach a much younger audience than TMNT.

This is one of the worst and overrused arguments on AP, that's predicated on the argument that "there are levels of 'shit' and, somehow, in the context of shit that's of a lower level, the lesser shit is listenable by comparison."
Getting punched in the crotch is awful. Getting a lobotomy is worse. Getting punched in the crotch doesn't become tolerable or even desirable because getting a lobotomy is worse.

your opinion of "shit" may be different to what my opinion of "shit" is.
opinions are just that.like assholes, everyone has one.
You may feel strongly in your beliefs that Senses Fail do not have much to offer YOU as a listener and that is fine, but to write them off entirely is a bit much.
I sense(no pun intended) much more integrity,honesty and talent in their music than many bands that I hear propagated here on this website.
I don't want to use the tried and true Voltaire quote here, but I'm sure you get the idea.

There's matters of subjectivity, and then there's the issue of Senses Fail's simplistic and derivative "wahh, mom and dad, mental issues" lyrical content. Let's not omit mentioning the vocals that fail at screaming and singing. There's also the trite compositions/instrumentation that could very well have been from any other faux-pop punk and basement metalcore band circa-2002. There can be a wealth of integrity and honesty that underlines poor lyrics. I'm not begrudging Buddy. If I were so superficial as to define my entire existence and "art" by my mental illnesses, and it turned out that doing so made me a rockstar and sold records, I'd mine the shit out of that and do it for three or four albums set to awful choruses.
You feel different and that's fine, but I never quite understand why people attempt to prop up a band by comparing it to (allegedly) lesser acts within the same genre. It's almost like a deflecting mechanism to try and validate why you enjoy a band/act because you have nothing else to describe why their efforts are good.

I don't like Senses Fail enough to validly debate this topic with you. I find it ironic though that you seem to have listened to them enough to have completely ascertained of what their lyrical content encompasses. They have a few "poor me" songs as you have mentioned,sure, who doesnt these days. Many of the bands in your favorites list in your profile have also built their entire career of making melancholic and sad and depressing stuff. No way but through the knife right? And yes I will confidently say that Senses Fail are above these "lesser acts". Senses Fail have achieved a moderate level of success, but they are far removed from the rockstar status that you seem to think they are in.
I didn't realize in order to enjoy a bands music that you had to some how prove their validity or scene credibility. Again,comparing them to the obscure and eclectic and rather large and absurd list of bands(well over 100) that you have listed as your favorite bands, it is rather apparent that our tastes are bound from the start to conflict.
You make many valid points I must say, but overall your arguement is EXTREMELY hypocritical and plain silly.

I think Kearn meant it's more the fact that his lyrics are overly simple and in no way creative that make him bad, not the fact that they are based on more "depressing" concepts. I also think he means that if you want to say Senses Fail is good, don't just say "well they're a lot better than [insert band]", actually say why you like them.. in both cases I wholeheartedly agree..

I don't like Senses Fail enough to validly debate this topic with you. I find it ironic though that you seem to have listened to them enough to have completely ascertained of what their lyrical content encompasses.
I once was a 17 year old scenestar who thought he "related" to Buddy.
They have a few "poor me" songs as you have mentioned,sure, who doesnt these days. Many of the bands in your favorites list in your profile have also built their entire career of making melancholic and sad and depressing stuff.
The difference is, they also speak/write/sing about the entire spectrum of the human experience and emotion - not just mining one facet of their existence (Depression/angst). Moreover, they do so much better and put to either more challenging or infinitely more pleasing instrumentation.
No way but through the knife right? And yes I will confidently say that Senses Fail are above these "lesser acts". Senses Fail have achieved a moderate level of success, but they are far removed from the rockstar status that you seem to think they are in.
Nothing separates them from the other scene trash that's so maligned on this site. Oh, and when a band sells half a million copies of their LP, especially in the contemporary musical climate, then I qualify them as "rockstars," or at the very least, well-off and well-known.
I didn't realize in order to enjoy a bands music that you had to some how prove their validity or scene credibility.
Who said this? I merely find it absurd that people try to lend credence to a band that's trash by comparing it to, wait for it, other trash and claiming "at least it isn't that." That's not an acceptable explanation why a band is good or enjoyable. It says nothing as to why you enjoy them.
Again,comparing them to the obscure and eclectic and rather large and absurd list of bands(well over 100) that you have listed as your favorite bands, it is rather apparent that our tastes are bound from the start to conflict.
You're being infantile. "Wahhh. He attacked a band I dig and my absurd rationale. Let me take cheap shots at his list." Obscure? Joni Mitchell? Bob Dylan? Radiohead? Afrika Bambaataa? Elvis Costello? Bruce Springsteen? The Stooges? Fleetwood Mac? Talking Heads? Obscure? You may need a refresher course on "obscure."
Conversely, let me ask you, what do you find about my list to be absurd? The sheer lenght and size? I'll answer why it's the lenght it is. I don't feel the need to try and compartmentalize my favorite acts and musicians into neatly defined "Top 5-10-20-random number" lists, as it does a disservice to the acts themselves, and I find that I spend so much time desperately trying to decide what work is more dense or nuanced or special that it takes away from my enjoyment. Rest assured, if they're on my list, they're a favorite (for better or worse), and they don't need to be widdled down so that they fit an easy-to-read format.
However, in the name of good-naturedness, I wasn't "clashing with your taste." Yes, I find Senses Fail to be awful. Conversely, I love some awful bands/music and am fully aware of this. Where we "clash" (how needlessly dramatic) is that the reasoning in which you convey to all of us why Senses Fail are good isn't a reason at all.
You make many valid points I must say, but overall your arguement is EXTREMELY hypocritical and plain silly.
If I were wrong, I'd say this too.

I liked them from the first song I heard right before they signed to Drive-Thru. At the time it was something a bit different and exciting. Now I go back to "From the Depth of Dreams" and realize how bad it is. But I do like all the albums that followed. Hope the new one is good. I've enjoyed everything I've heard so far.

You know, I like Senses Fail as much as the next guy, but everyone's gotta calm down over the record not leaking. The album release date is October 7th, not September. Yeah, a lot of albums do get leaked over the internet prior to their release date, but a lot of semi-mainstream artists usually don't have their albums drop even on the internet until the weekend of the release date (Gym Class Heroes - The Quilt, Hawthorne Heights - Fragile Future). Not to sound like a prick, but I'm from Jersey and I live in an area very close to the towns the members of Senses Fail grew up in, and a close friend of mine has a father who is a business manager for the band. From what I've heard from these guys, Senses Fail and Vagrant really wanted to prevent this album from releasing prematurely, or "leaking" before October. Sure, the album can leak: I Am Ghost has a new album set to be released 10/7, but leaked about a week ago. Yet on the contrary, Rise Against also has an album to be released 10/7, and has also not leaked. So it's really unclear of what new aspects of this album will be unveiled.
I think everyone needs to calm down a little bit, both people who love or hate Senses Fail. I'll be honest, I'm more than excited for Life Is Not A Waiting Room; I can't wait to see them for a seventh time in November. I'm stoked. But I also understand the functions of a calendar and I realize that there are still another two weeks between now and October 7th, and therefore I'm not going to go crazy looking for torrents of this record on a daily basis, when I'm just going to go to the record store in two weeks anyway.
As far as the people who hate Senses Fail are concerned, fine. They're a little emo, their singles are pretty light (and only their singles cause they have their heavier songs), and I can understand why people wouldn't like them. Maybe the people on this thread that go on and on about their hate for Senses Fail really liked them when they were fourteen, went to see them on Warped a few years back, and then got one of their front teeth knocked out by some fat sweaty guy in a pit, and thus blame it on Senses Fail. Whatever it may be, if you don't like a band, you shouldn't have to share that with people who do. We're all on absolutepunk because we like some bands across the genre. You can go praise or admire any artists you want with other fans; we're not hindering that at all. We'll be stoked for our album, and you listen to what you want. Just because you don't like a band doesn't entitle you to discourage other fans of the band from enjoying what they like.
I'm just sick of opening this thread and seeing WHY WON'T THIS ALBUM LEAK and SENSES FAIL SUCK. I wish this was just a thread where everyone just shared how stoked they were for Life Is Not A Waiting Room, two years following their last release of Still Searching, which I also thought was awesome. Senses Fail is one of my favorite bands. I don't know what they mean to you, but to me, they are a local band who I have witnessed go from local Jersey punks to big-time rockers. I've seen Senses in concert far more times than any other band out there. I play almost all of their discography on my guitar every day. Their chemistry, power, and agression as musicians, combined with Buddy's sharp, grasping vocals and captivating lyrics never cease to impress me. So I am patiently awaiting for October 7th to come, so these guys of Senses Fail can once again amaze me with a dozen songs of pure punk rock brilliance.

I'm tired of this band's thing now, I thought they had the potential to be really great with this album. Their last album was ok, if a little tiring, and the B-Sides were ten times better than most of the songs that made the cut. Despite having one of my favourite musicians in their band, I won't be paying too much attention to this album.

I feel the same way. I had followed them for awhile, but from what I've heard from the tracks already released from this album, I am not impressed. They should have stuck with what worked instead of Buddy constantly trying to change his vocal styles.

Rise hasn't leak yet either which is probably more surprising since they are on a major label and those records almost always leak fairly early
that is crazy, two big releases, same release date, still haven't leaked, they come out in six days!
Yeah, It feels like ive been waiting for these two for ages, we are too spoilt with every album getting leaked early these days...

I usually like to wait for albums to come out so I can hear it in high quality over my speaker systems. I'm glad I waited for Anberlin and Jack's Mannequin, it made yesterday so much better.
The Bayside CD is really good too
