2nd Sucks is the only predominantly heavy song. Sticks & Bricks and You Be Tails, I'll Be Sonic are the only other songs that really contain any heavier parts. There's less Dirty Vocals than Homesick and For Those Who Have Heart for sure.

I've heard a few people compare the sound to New Found Glory, and I can see where they're coming from. It's Heavier than NFG's Pop-Punk style, but no overly, and certainly a step back from the heavy ADTR have done before.

Like I said, there's nothing wrong with it, but that's the way I, and pretty much every review I've read, see's it.

I think I definitely got caught up in the heaver bass riff. A lot of bands have been doing it this year. Glassjaw, Deftones, ADTR...I've been enjoying it.

Yeah. I mean there's heavy moments, but it's more sort of Heavy in Pop-Punk/Punk terms, not Heavy in Hardcore terms.

I can see why people are dissapointed in it, it's very much just an ADTR record IMO, nothing new to the table.

I never really thought of them as a hardcore band anyway. It's an acentric ADTR album, there's nothing really 'not ADTR' about it.

Thats a double whammy.
Never seen them before, but have heard they're very theatrical and entertaining. Not sure they could pull off their regular stuff at a BDO.

Shortlist for my albums of the year
Recovery- Eminem
Fever- BFMV
Cohesion- Gyroscope
Immersion- Pendulum
Nightmare- A7X
TISAH, BMISI. TIAH, LKIAS- BMTH

Just wondering...is it worth downloading Birds of Tokyo?

P.S. Thanks for reminding me to download ADTR

Quite looking forward to next years releases...Foo Fighters, Yellowcard, Blink 182 all announcing albums.

Farrrrrk. There was a big petition to bring Birds of Tokyo out to Bendigo for a free show and it was succesful but they are coming when I and a heap of the signatures will be on schoolies

Dude, it's birds of Tokyo, you can see em anywhere, anytime. Schoolies will be way better

+1. Apparently BoT are pretty shit live too.

Yeah I know but its just annoying because the majority of people responsible for organising it won't actually get to enjoy it.
Finally got around to cleaning all the shit off my ipod today and updated it with heaps of new stuff

I'd hate to be the guy engineering that one. Fucking nightmare doing metal gigs to radio.

Fixed for accuracy. They've got a few good songs, but nothing worth getting upset about.

They're always touring the aussie circuit anyway so you'll be able to see them at least half a dozen times in the next few years anyway.

ADTR - A Plot to Bomb the Panhandle

Going back to this album after Afro mentioned it earlier, and gotta say, they don't make it like this anymore. By far their best IMO. Would love to see it live in full, would be incredible.

Watching the video from that track...the frontman has an affinity for penis huh?

It's true that there's nothing like that on their current album, but it still has all the accentric halmarks of ADTR.

Oh yeah, I just mean, it's deffinitely different for the better. I prefer his vocals from FTWHH. And their was just more rawness to the production. Sounded dirtier and more like a band you know from your neighbours garage than a huge band.

If you want the raw garage sound, listen to And Their Name Was Treason - the production quality is fucking terrible.

That is also a tops album. Plus they sample Boondock Saints, which is win.

Tops album, but the original sound quality left a lot to be desired. I downloaded the remastered version.

^^^^^Even so, but still has my favorite ADTR song from it. You Should Have Killed Me When You Had The Chance

Still haven't got around to listening to the album yet. Thanks very much U Torrent. My mate can't stop ranting about it.

Pushing Me Away- Linkin Park
All These Things I Hate (Revolve around you)- BFMV

I prefer the remade version of 'You Should Have Killed Me.....' on For Those Who Have Heart.

Should have made my albums of the year a week later it appears... Kezia would probably make the top 10, I forgot Contra by Vampire Weekend came out in January and Girl Talk's new album is fucking awesome.

Alrighty shit, ummm, but damn, he's the only real singer and he was decent at that! Ahwell

Oh and just for the record, I'm an anti-mainstream muso and pro sexy music listener

though shalt not post anything that relates to x-factor or idol in the music thread, it's an unwritten law. Expect a backlash sanga, possibly a ban, you've broken the cardinal sin of this thread.

My favourite at the artist would have to be Horrorshow, seriously after seeing them live at sydney's triple j ausmusic month party, got the albums yesterday and have not stopped listening to them.
Particularly this song:
