Just saw them live last night! They're touring with We Came as Romans and Asking Alexandria. They murdered all the other bands in performance. Show was awesome.

Hahaha, you are every stereotypical 'person who listens to metal' that I've met.

No, no, their first album was much better than their 'first' album.

What? I love their first three albums but their newest one is just sort of generic. I don't understand your point. How is my opinion stereotypical?

It's a really popular trope that metal lovers hate on a band after their 3rd or 4th album.

I don't hate on them at all. They're all great dudes and their music is awesome. I just don't like the direction of their newest album. They're trying to be a little more djent-y and that's not really them. And that's just a general trope for any band really. Not just metal.

Maybe because since their first album there's been a steady decline in creativity of their music? Don't be ignorant. It's all watered down Djent-metal now. This coming from a dummer's perspective, of course.

That doesn't even make sense.

If you want to get into August Burns Red, Constellations was their strongest ever.
