Architects is my favorite band, but there's something wrong with Sam. He seems tired or there's something going on behind the scenes... Hope they get back on top real soon.
watching this for the first time. I couldn't agree more. Feels like he's given up almost which is super harsh to say but he's at like 70% at best. This is NOT a dig at all. I bet he's been sick. I saw them at Electric Castle years ago and he sounded awful, only did i realise in later days he was super ill. To still commit to show shows like this is insane dedication.

Man, i hope this crowd really appreciates what they're hearing, between Architects, Spiritbox, and Loathe. The sound and picture quality on these videos is so good. Thanks for this.
The best time to have seen architects was around Holy Hell era, you would get loads of crazy songs, the best live metalcore in history. i'm certain about that.
@@bubbacalling i saw them in Amsterdam, not a chance they were using lip-syncing. the playback is used to add to sam vocals like for dead butterflies. And the big effects? I'm guessing you mean the production? cus it's fucking insane compared to their old shows.
Think you're being a bit naive if you think there's just mild enhancement playback here. Listen to his cleans during some choruses, they're almost perfect. Anyway, not going to debate you, had the same conversations with hardcore BMTH fans who were in denial as well.@@EvilMammal
@@bubbacalling nothing wrong with some little vocoder work here and there. There are some additional vocals on backingtrack, some ad libs, Ryan Burnett does some backing cleans as well, there might be some vocoder things happening over there as well. Adam Christianson does some backings as well. There is some very good sound tech as well who puts/punches in some reverb and echo's to Sam's vocals at specific times. All I see and hear are people working on the business called 'Architects' who are just very professional, masters at their craft, and very very very passioned to give the audience the best experience possible for the money. No harm in that right? We need to build each other up instead of breaking each other down.
FINALLY a full video!! ❤ Sam's voice so strong. Band looking Amazing... that stage /production 😊❤ #mindblowing.. Just ADORE Architects. What a force ❤xxxx
Seeing red is a great song and the rest of the band sounds great but Sam needs to work on his voice big time. His cleans are fine most of the time (except for those high notes on doomsday 🤢) but his screams sound breathy and tired. Get a vocal coach!
man I really love Architects... the best band for me tbh and they're second to none in their business but dude... I miss Sam old screams and Josh's backing vox...no one can stop those duo in terms of vox I swear to god... I really wish can treat his vox a lil better and let it get back in shape...just a wee is already means alot to us😅 (btw I kinda shocked when I see Deathwish,Gravedigger and Hereafter in the list thoo..such a banger of a track!)
Man I love Architects and I always will, but Sam is in no shape to tour. He’s clearly really tired and his screams aren’t what they used to be. I get that he’s been doing this for god knows how long, but I’d rather not see them for a year or something and have them come back when he feels better
He said last night in Copenhagen that he realizes his voice is not in the best shape and he's taken up singing lessons lately so he still has some stuff to work on with his coach.
You can tell he just cant do it like he used to, which I expect. Sam’s vocal style is not easy to do day in day out. And requires a lot of pushing yourself. I hope he can substitute it better. What he is doing now is alright but it just doesn’t hit. Architects are legendary
Sam needs a break. I could only imagine screaming for a decade night in and out. Unfortunately, this is the fate most metal singers face, I don't want a switch in styles but whatever benefits Sam is what I want.
What’s wrong with the crowd? How can they stand still? Compare “These Colours Don’t Run” from this video with the same track from the concert in Moscow 03.02.2017
It's not just Sam's voice, he's mostly hitting the notes, sounds alright technically. The whole performance just feels so heartless and tired. Bands twice their age are bringing more energy
Fans will complain about how Architects don’t play their old songs, then maybe a quarter of the crowd knows the lyrics to Deathwish GraveDigger and These Colors🤨 interestinggg.
Its Not easy and healthy for a voice doing screams and shouting over 10 years. There are so many shouters (while she sleeps for example) which have Problems now. Cause Sam doesn't sing for years. Its a Combination of screaming and singing. His voice needs a Break to recover
Thanks for sharing.! Jeezus, what is this.?? Sam sounding absolutely terrible and behaves utterly bored, setlist is crappy, stage production looks like shit and is a serious assault on the eyes - but still doesn't manage to distract enough from the boredom that's happening on stage, on top of it an understandable sleeping audience. Saw them a year ago with Sleep Token, they were also not as good as usual but still a total different band than this embarrassment.
There's a lot of unappreciative "fans" in this comment section. I can see why Architects felt the need to troll you guys. Bands change and grow. If that's not good enough for you, then that's your problem. Not there's.
Sam choice of clothes reminds me of the choice Architects have made in the past albums trash . havent herd you sound good ever live . only reason you ever was anything cause Tom wrote it all for you and carried your lazy bum . you guys have been lazy
After hearing Sam's voice I'm second guessing whether or not to buy US tix. I was going to go to multiple shows but not with him sounding like this. It's really sad how much he's declined. Hope he turns it around
Between this and them being assholes to fans who arent digging he new stuff with a fuck you track im pretty much done with them. I just clicked on this after spiritboxs video to see if hes improved. aaaaaand it doesnt seem like it.
