This band sure did evolve. They've gone from making the most genuine, punchy and raw hardcore on Destroy to Create, The Great Awake and Cavalcade to just making absolutely beautiful music on Dead Language and Inviting Light. Dead Language took a bit of time to get used because of that little bit of post-hardcore influence, but now I can't live without Birds of England or Tail Feathers. I consider those absolutely worth of being mentiond among the greatest songs ever written.
When this album came out I was hesitant on listening to it, I even refused to think this were the same Flatliners from The Great Awake and Cavalcade. After a few weeks I started to listen to a few songs from it. Now, Im totally in love with this album.
I see a lot of hate on the new style of The Flatliners. The thing is, artists and bands get so jaded sticking to the same song formulas year after year. Sure it's a lot less punchy and ballsy, but if you give the messages a chance you'll realize its true genius. I'll shut up now
@@YourFoolishPride I introduced a mate to the Flatliners and the Gaslight Anthem over a drink this weekend so you bet it is. Hope you’re having a good one
when i overheat on heavy metal but dont to listen to old green day songs or day to remember, maday parade, or linkin park, this is what i listen to. something smooth and alternative. real great band
Like the tune but I can't be the only one not feeling the production on this album? It's so wet everywhere, it sounds like it's being played through a pillow. Still one of the best bands going though.
Anyone know who the actor in the white suit is? He fucking murders in this video...this in my opinion is my fav music video since my hero. Fucking best music video of the decade an that old dude is cool..whats his name
Wait Until you see them live. Man, that was the best Flatliners show one month ago. These songs are awesome Live. Started to feel them differently right after.
It's easy to understand why so many don't like it: guitars are kinda hidden in the mix and have no punch, vocals have this fake tube drive (which is pointless considering how much drive his vocals have naturally), songs are sluggish. So they used to be fast, agressive, with powerful guitars. Now they have none of those characteristics. You add the fact all this coincided with a new label and everyone is suspicious of why they actually changed. Had the opportunity to talk with the guitarist after the show in São Paulo for over half an hour (great guy btw) and asked if the band made those mixing choices or the label, he answered the band took that path on their own, but I did not find him very convincing.
Common you guys have a great album but Your production you’ve compressed the hell out of it and there’s so much distorting In Some of the songs, stop the loudness war production!
