These guys understand music. Whether it’s heavy or more melodic, it doesn’t matter. It’s next level music no other band can reproduce. I adore their heavy stuff but I’m thankful for every album we get from them. Most bands would have broken up by now.
They absolutely still do big heavy songs and moments spread throughout their music. I love everything they drop.
They sure are absolutely "Hallucinate" off of "The Color Decay" is heavy as shit eh.
One of my favorite interviews you’ve done. TDWP got me into the music that I continue to listen to today.
One of my favorite bands, love the old and the new records.
I mean it's not like their old songs disappeared off the face of the earth. Imagine writing the same songs, same style, same screams, same breakdown rhythms for decades. Shit gets old. Nothing wrong with growing up people...
Making heavier music seems juvenile to some of you, something that needs growing out of. Sad.
@@spectre722 no, but they were very young when they were writing these older "heavier" songs. TDWP is still heavy. But some people think just cuz it's not open chugs anymore it's not metal. They've grown and matured and their music has evolved along with them. Everyone else who saw this got the point, so you must be brain dead.
The silent co-host of this podcast is Finn's movement of the guest's camera to fit the frame
I loved color decay, and I love their heavier stuff. I just love TDWP
Ooh Zombie 2. Will have a listen
touring with these guys was my first tour ever, jeremy was one of my favorites and mike too. at the time mike was 16, and the rest of them weren't 21 yet. such a cool time. this was the corsets are cages/ emarosa / twdp tour in 2006.
Lovely setting where chappy is. Nice tree in blossom!
Connection over everything, that’s why we’re here!
I want roots above again, that’d be sick
Loved you since roots and love you now
I still enjoy most of their current releases but roots above will forever be my favourite piece of work from these guys
The latest album from TDWP is a display of the talent and how far they have come. They were a unique sound when they first came out and they are artisitic in their songs and I like what they produce since the beginning
They're still heavy in my opinion. The Color Decay was heavy in my opinion and a damn near perfect album but they've developed their sound so much since their first album. People fall in love with a particular sound from their favourite bands. Embrace the growth folks.
Edit: I love Finn's content he's been up there for the past few years with Punk Rock NBA.
Color decay was a masterpiece IMO
@@HomophobicHomie 100% agree
ZII is insanely good... can't wait for Z3 haha
Since Chris left, the sound def changed. For me personally, I prefer the sound that Chris added to the band. I enjoyed his writing style more. Just had a diff energy, and overall feel. I don’t like the bands newer stuff but I don’t mean it as a mean thing or an insult. Just my personal preference. I’ll always love these guys tho. The branches above album and zombie ep will forever be in my top 10 fav albums of my entire life. Hands down. Much love for TDWP. I’ll always support them. No matter what changes are made
The band changed with Dead Throne. There was a noticeable lack of volume for the keyboards done by James with little variation from previous works, then led to the band kicking him out. Once the band kicked out James, the corruption of the world had successfully won. More booze, more cursing on stage, more tattoos and more Masonic symbolism in their presentation.
Chris was still in the band during 8:18, however, the band was already not as heavy as they were in previous albums prior to Dead Throne and that lack of aggression made its way into the obnoxiously sad and overly electronically dark album that came after Dead Throne, which was 8:18.
@@AGuyUwUyeah man. I pretty much totally agree. I think my personal preferences lead me to like the zombie EP just a little bit better. I know that they also change producers on dead throne. I believe they were using… Jayme King? I can’t remember or some guy named Kyle? I don’t know but that was back when they were still passionate and using a guy that mostly just did Metalcore at the time. I know they went with Killswitch engages Guitarist on dead throne I believe. But anyway, after that, their stuff didn’t punch as much. They lost that “playing in the dirt at cornerstone “ sound. It’s tough to watch one of my favorite bands go down like that. But like I said, I’ll always support these guys and they will always have a very special place in my heart in my life.
@@pauljarrell8162 If Mike or Jeremy leave the band, the band is dead. Jeremy said if Mike left that he would follow him. Mike only has so much voice left in him, but, I respect the hustle because he's lasted this long.
Regardless, I still think Prada's best era was from their demo called Patterns of A Horizon through the first Zombie EP. Once Dead Throne came out, Mike's vocals were blown out and it sounded like the guitarist of Killswitch Engage rushed every song to try to make them all sound like hits but it just didn't work.
I miss all the og members being in the band
For me, it's not even about how heavy they are or aren't. I'm currently releasing a deathcore album, but my next project is a funky progressive rock thing. I just haven't liked anything from them since the first Zombie EP. It's just not for me. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Nice for you
It's wild to me that as much music as they have made in as many different styles there isn't ANYTHING you like. You probably haven't listened to anything beyond the occasional single if there was legitimately nothing you liked
@@brendangibson8200 To be fair my preferences altered as I aged, naturally. Even if the following albums sounded exactly the same, it wouldn't have been what I was looking for at that time. I don't really listen to TDWP that much at this point. I have a few songs that I still really like but I'll have no problem skipping over most of the other songs. And you're right, I hadn't heard much other than the singles. If I'm not feeling the direction of the singles, why spend the time going through the album?
But I read your comment and then did go skip through their albums. I downloaded Dead Throne when it came out, but remember not being into it. It sounds like a continuation of the Zombie EP, but there are things I don't like about it. Mike's screams are pretty not good on it. 8:18 is promising, there seemed to be some good stuff on there. Not sure how I'm feeling about Space. I heard a couple things on Transit Blues but they're starting to lose me. Same thing with The Act, some heavy parts but not really digging entire songs. And again with Color Decay, something like Watchtower sounds pretty solid though. I was excited when ZII was announced and I listened to it when it came out, and I thought it was good but never got around to listening more or buying it.
At this point, I'm getting the most enjoyment out of an entirely different style of music, so I'd have to go out of my way to sit and listen to TDWP's whole discography post-Zombie. I do still love riffs and breakdowns and screams and blast beats, that hasn't changed, but I spend more time listening to cute stuff. 😅
So here is my thing, its not that their music has changed and its terrible and not heavy, its the fact that their lyrics are not the same as they used to be, for instance the song they did way back "Big Wiggly Style" The lyrics have a really deep meaning to them
"My regret is not writing more for you, Lord.
As this ocean comes to be deeper our vessel becomes less stable.
Look to the sky.
Encourage the elements of God.
rather than the jars that contain them.
If only the ingredients of man were of such elements.
If only."
But in their newer songs i feel like they have kinda gone emo (no offense) Like in their newer songs "Exhibition" the lyrics just talk about how life sucks
"It's so hard to recognize
That these diamonds fail to glow
Take pills to ease my mind
As long as I don't feel alone
In debt to become incomplete
Step back 'til we hear the song repeat
Watch as I become obsolete
Step back and
Welcome to the way down
Keep on telling, selling me a way out
Another offer of a faultless life now
But I think I'll just keep it inside
Stitch it up and wear it with pride (pride)"
Look im cool with songs that are talking about how terrible life is, because sometimes it does suck,
but i love it more when in that song they talk about a way out like For All Eternity's song "Vacant Room"
"There must be more to this life of mine
There is something deep inside
That testifies of a greater kind
I cannot simply reach out for something better
I sit here incapable of such a feat, predetermined defeat
Unable to see past these walls around me
My mind, an empty room with no windows to see through
Isolated from the truth, from the truth
Do my eyes deceive me by what they have not seen?
Freedom, the one desire that will never cease
My heart
It needs to change
I need a change
I need a change"
Here it talks about our minds being a empty room being isolated from truth, but in the end they say "My Heart, It Needs to change' it leaves a positive message at the end
Sacrifice is heavy
So is Hallucinate
"I don't run my TH-cam channels for clicks and attention. I just want to connect with people."
I don't know how you said that with a straight face. That is some hilarious bullshit.
First comment!
Fin liked my comment. We are basically best friends now.
Absolutely love color decay
He said BDE 😂
I thought I heard that. What is that? Did he mean to say zombie ep or tdwp? Or something else?
@@AaronMorgan666Big D*** Energy
@@blackoutthesunrock ah.
"if you don't like the most recent release... well we're gonna keep you guessing" bruh your fans have jumped ship
