The first thing I will say is New Junk Aesthetic > Felony. Haha, yeah as everyone was awaiting the anticipated release of Emmure's "Felony," thinking it was going to be one kick ass album. I got to hear it first, well not first but in advance, thanks to Victory Records, and boy were they pretty upset to find out that it wasn't anything to be "anticipated." But I'm not here to talk about Emmure. What I'm here to do is tell everyone about Every Time I Die's new album "New Junk Aesthetic."
Why are all "Death Metal" bands doing this to themselves, I ask myself as I'm listening to this record. ETID does almost exactly what Emmure does in their recent attempt "Felony" and yes "attempt" because my god was it truly an attempt to make a decent album, too bad they failed horribly, not only were the lyrics fucking ridiculous and horrible. ETID has better lyrics, guitar riffs, and percussion. The only thing that upsets me about "New Junk Aesthetic" is they did what Emmure did on "Felony."
Why must you repeat the same line like five times in a row? I mean I get it but damn, five times? Emmure's "famous" saying would be the "Oh Shit, What the Fuck Did I Just Do," I almost lose count on how many times he says it in that song. Every Time I Die does almost the same thing but because all together the album is better in every way it's a great listen to just rock the fuck out whether it be wearing headphones or even in your car. I'm not knocking this album completely but it could have been just a little better. The lyrics are capturing and the musicianship is not something you hear from the bands of the same genre.
I've went from "Roman Holiday" to "Goddamn Kids These Days" and I just say I did not waste 37 minutes and 30 seconds. To be honest I'd probably give it a few more listens before it got boring, but hey that's me. When you got too much music to listen to shit gets pretty boring fast especially if you're not a "die hard fan." With that being said, when the album leaks or comes out, Don't download it, BUY IT!
