Sam said in a interview that "fans" sent him and Dan messages like "Tom would never had approved of this soft crap" on the release of their last album this is a well deserved F you to all those people that did that
Obviously nasty comments are not on. But I don't get it - because they're obviously just pieces of shit kids who say things like this, so if you hate the idea of only being compared to your old sound, why go to the lengths of making a track entirely FOR those pieces of shit? With that said, I reckon 90% of the Architects fan base would LOVE more of this sound anyway. The approach just comes across so bitter, but then also rewards people for being arseholes.
Some people find the kid choral parts cringe but I think's that's the point. It's here to represent the crying kids who want Architects to be heavy/depressed again.
Dude it's perfect. The kids are the antagonist! The crowd that gave up on them when they started doing something different. Sam crushed that Idea In such a cool way.
I love that you caught on that it’s combining their old style with the new style, that’s what I believe the last 2 albums were for, experimenting that new style to make a whole new style with their old style together. My only wish is that this isn’t an outlier on the album, please give us a headbanging album (yes I’m feeding into the lyrics a little, but while I enjoyed last 2 albums, no one can deny that Architects are at their best when they’re mad).
I can't help but laugh at the people who are calling this song "immature".... Like, you're supposed to pull influence from your life experiences for music right? Can't convince me that the fans turning on Architects, telling them how they wish they were angry again irl, and taking shots at a dead band member/the current band members as it relates to his death, ISN'T a huge fucking real life experience that has impacted them all in some way. Also, great video as per usual
I could see this as being the only heavy song for the next album. Just like an F-U type of thing, then just keep on writing whatever they want to write
I thought the same, they totally knew the Architects are heavy again comments would be everywhere. The irony of people loving all the cliches is just brilliant.
Nope, Sam has already confirmed in a BBC1 interview that this song is the direction the next album is heading in. Heavy with a bit of the flavor from the new stuff.
As good as this song is, the reason that it happened deeply saddens me. They've been bullied beyond to the point of this, and their interviews break everything down to what led to it. The "Blegh" was Sam being like "Fuck you here's what you want-happy?!"
Excellent reaction!! It's a banger and I love the p**s taking Sam!🖕 to all the sad haters, you either like a band or you don't! Bands try something different and TRUE fans should go with it!........rant over and relax 🤣😆
I know The Classic Symptoms Of A Broken Spirit was a bit controversial, but it was my favourite album of last year. I do prefer the albums beforehand, but I still really like it. But this new song is great.
What is .. crazy.. is how iv watched like 10 reaction videos of this song... and everyone is looking at tempo, guitars.. vocals.. but noone is actually talking about the message.. about the lyrics.. which i feel like would completely insult Architects.. cuz it feels like they are shouting into an abyss and noone cares
I see where everyone says they have some bmth influences but 1.thats not a bad thing and 2. the bits with the children signing reminds me of inflames. Either way its an awesome song. Love it!
Also when people say this song is "Basic" I feel like that was the whole point. They hit on every corny, crowd pleasing point including the structure of the breakdown. Like checking every box to show people "See, it isn't creativity and artistry that people are appreciating, it's the basic norm of what metalcore and we should be." They absolutely thought this well out more than we realize...
I mean, it's basically what they did on the last couple albums. Very basic songwriting with a couple of heavy elements. The only real difference is the lows
I think this is their best song tbh 😅😅 not a hater, just never really liked architects before this song, they weren’t for me, which is ok, but this song..I’ve had on repeat.. ❤
If a band doesn’t evolve the sound every now and then you’d all get bored eventually so either way for bands its a lose lose nothing new is good enough and the same exact sound over and over would be annoying so the early 2000s are over keep the memories and move on these want to make music for themselves as well as people who connect with each of any song not just people who are really here for that teen rebellious phase 24/7 til they die stay off their damn backs and now more bands might do this now and it’s deserved yes we all loved them back then but it’s time to grow up with the band that’s point of being a fan support the artists for giving something different a new shot even if you don’t like it there is literally no need to throw a fit just because you didn’t get what you want this why they break up sometimes cause it’s hard to please you babies now
Josh didn't go back to pursuing Sylosis full time he just went back to doing it full time there was nothing to pursue with a band he already had established. Josh left because he felt it was time and he has always been devoted to his own project. Architects is fine Sylosis is fine everyone just needs to sit back and enjoy.
They're one of the bands that i always thought that their songs are thumbs up immediately, but this one i didn't vibe that much, i got the point of it though.
I see someone saying the gang vocals sound cringe but im pretty sure thats what theyre saying those lame ass gatekeepers sound likes kids. His opinion but I think hes missing that part.
Thank haters, I guess people being c*nts resulted in something great for once. I wasn't listening to these guys in the old days, For those... was my first Architects album and I loved that. So I don't mind if they are not always this heavy, but it is surely a really great song.
They may be mad but watch the streams and views get higher🤔 i wanna look at it in a positive note. Maybe they needed a push to bring back who they really are. And my perspective is you dont have to see red to make heavy music. Sometimes its fun. Ftwwte was a great album. I think they were gonna go heavy again regardless and used all the bs for a song but dude. Death threats and shit aint cool
Yeah I think people commenting how much they hate it ironically are boosting stats for Architects in the algorithms too which is hilarious. Ftwwte is honestly one of my fav albums and while I’m not as into the first albums, I do think them infusing what they’re doing now into what they were doing is great for their own images but also a little detrimental, in some way gratifying what the haters had been saying in regards to “yOu GuYs ArEn’T aS gOoD aS yOu uSeD tO bE”, but it’s on their terms rn so I’m so for what they got in store!
I don’t give a shit if they are angry of us as long as they finally make good music again … the last record yeah it was experimental but in my humble opinion sounded great production wise but musically absolutely not my thing
So they made a heavy song to take the piss out of people complaining that they aren't heavy anymore and it ended up being better than their last two albums whilst also being completely unremarkable? I'm glad people are able to enjoy it though, not everything is for everyone and unfortunately Architects just aren't for me anymore
it so good? Are you kidding me ? This is the simplest breakdown you can imagine in the genre! They give it to you and you eat it! And after that you are happy! It's like giving you Bleagh and clapping your hands! Architects have always been against this, but now they give it to you and you are happy! That's fucked up
That's literally the point of the song! Are you even paying attention? It's meant to be Blegh for Blegh-sake. They're making fun of people giving them shit for not just being the same thing forever, and you're getting dangerously close to sounding like the people they're making fun of.
@@TimBartel88 When the protest in the songs is over, when you have nothing to say to politicians, when you hated everything in this world and there seems to be nothing more to hate. Now you hate haters because you yourself taught them to hate. Brilliant! PS/ I understand the message in this song perfectly. And this track is better than the previous album. But I don’t share your puppyish delight.
I'm pretty sure they are just trolling..) honestly don't like it at all, just like the last album.. I don't need the old/sad/heavy Architects back, I really want them to progress to new sounds and heights, I just want something interesting, new, creative... not THIS. 😔
Some people definitely crossed a line, but this really seems like them just being petulant about the fact that longtime fans don't like that they sold out. But let's be real here, nothing about their songwriting has "matured," it's not "more mature" just because it's watered-down, boring, and is basically a carbon copy of all their Octane Genericore contemporaries. They changed for money. Couldn't care less that it's less heavy, what bothers me is that it's fucking _boring._ It's also over-produced and sounds artificial and glossed-over as all Hell on good gear. You can't release this in 2023 and think you're contributing anything new or noteworthy. Especially after some of the other songs and records that have released this year. I just don't get what they're even trying to do anymore.
I'm looking through the chat, and I see jagemetal's story about that poster in 2014. Holy fucking _shit,_ what kind of mother does that? Just because something doesn't come from God or embodies God in a way, does not-and I mean this with all my heart-does _NOT_ warrant you throwing a piece of your child's interests. Like for fuck's sake, do you want your child to grow up a happy person, or are you trying to be a dick?
What's funny is all the crying kids fans are going to love this song not realizing that it's making fun of them. Architects are master trolls for doing this lmao
I love the pettiness, I love the riffs, I love his vocals.... but man, the kids chanting just hurts it, in my opinion; a lot of people seem to love it though.
