Bring Me the Horizon Album: “Suicide Season”

I can completely understand why fans of metal or bring me the horizon's old sound could be disappointed by this record. BUT i will say im a fan of the older stuff but definatly in love with this record. i truely believe BMTH took a step up further from any band within the 'scene' that feeds off cliques. where everyone tends to be doing the same thing, writing the same words, following the same trends - BMTH has done something completely off the map. i truely think think they just took all diffrent forms of punk and heavier music that influnced them, smashed it all together, and made Suicide Season.

obviously oli's vocals have taken a toll. i actually saw them live last night and he definatly doesn't scream like he used to, even when playing some songs from "count your blessings", he just can't seem to do those highs anymore. which makes sense cuz those are brutal. but i think his newer vocals with some highs mixed in at times works. and as much as i love every track off of CYB, they did sound like just you're average metal band instrumentally. with this record i think they took it up a notch, but in a slightly diffrent direction.

for what the misfits did for punk rock way back when, i think BMTH has done for heavy music. its artistic, creative, innovative, and has in my opinion one of the sickest [like good sick] album covers ever. and oli's writing skills definatly stand out, on some tracks more then others, particularly the title track. you can't help but feel for him. the emotion that was put into the lyrics and everything instrumentally and vocally about that soung is just outstanding.

I was way excited to get the new BMTH cd. So, as soon as I had it in my hot little hands, it was soon gone and into the cd player of my car to listen to on the way home.

I had already heard some of my mates singing that hook line from Diamonds Aren't Forever (they learnt it at a concert) so I knew it was going to be catchy.

They had also said that it was very different from Count Your Blessings, but I wasn't concerned. However, after my first listening I was disappointed at how different it really was. But, even though it is different, it was still a really good listen, so it continued playing.

I have now come to love BMTH's new sound, it just seems so much heavier and darker, and Ollie has really put himself out there with the lyrics. The title song, Suicide Season, never fails to bring goosebumps to my arm by the end of the song.

In conclusion:

Different from previous releases, but still amazing. I'm not disappointed with this new sound, and I hope that BMTH continues down this path. Catchy and dark at the same time; brutal.

If you are one of the many people like my self who hated bring me the horizon, you need to give this cd a listen. When I heard the tracks of off count your blessings, i hated its generic wanna be death metal sound. This cd is completely different. The style is much different and much better.

The Comedown: 4.5/5-One of the best tracks on the whole cd, very catchy and a good introduction to their new style.

Chelsea Smile: 3.5/5-Ok, a little generic sounding but cool riffs.

If It Was Written In Blood: 2/5-Pretty cool synthesized intro but very boring for the most part.

Death Breath: 4.5/5-My second favorite of the whole cd. Fantastic riffs and intense vocals.

Football Season Is Over: 4.5/5-Short, brutal, and funny. it has a great chorus part "PARTY TILL YOU PASS OUT, DRINK TILL YOUR DEAD. DANCE ALL NIGHT TIL YOU CAN'T FEEL YOUR LEGS."

Sleep With One Eye Open: 4.5/5-Very, very, heavy. One of the best tracks.

Diamonds Aren't Forever: 4.5/5-A heavy catchy track which delivers metal core at it's finest.

The Sadness Will Never End: 4/5-A heavy original sound with SUNG vocals, something bring me the horizon rarely has.

No Need For Instructions, I've Read About Girls Like You On The Back Of Toilet Doors: 4/5-Very short but has an interesting jazz intro, then an insane breakdown into pure insanity, the heaviest track on the album.

Suicide Season: 5/5-THE BEST TRACK on the whole album, and the best BMTH song ever. It goes in and out from melodic to heavy and has very emotional lyrics showing Sykes's best writing talent.

So again, if you used to hate them forget that count your blessings crap and BUY this. It's hard to believe that the same awful band who played "Pray For Plagues" created this cd. Bring Me The Horizon have matured greatly and WILL get better.

as far as i know my son is very happy with this cd and enjoys it daily and is happy that i got it for him

BRING ME THE HORIZON ARE A VERY HEAVY BUT NOT SO MUCH A MELODIC BAND THE MELODY IS IN THE MUSIC, AND NOT IN THE VOCALS, WHICH IS OK WITH ME I REALLY DID ENJOY LISTENING TO THIS ALBUM AND I AL GLAD THAT I ALSO OWN IT.
