It's so refreshing to see a metal band get HEAVIER! It's so common for bands to lighten up with time; however, ABR has delivered with their heaviest release since 07/09 depending on who you talk to haha. That ending breakdown will kill live. I get goosebumps every time I hear it.
My favorite song on the album. That breakdown is to die for. I reallly hope they play this live, I need to see the destruction from that breakdown in person
I've had the pleasure of swinging my head to these dudes since their first album...and holy balls does each album get better and better! This album is fucking Godly....keep this shit coming fellas....never stop!....you guys have just raised the bar! Thank you dudes!
killer song! more kicks ,more blasts ,more shreddings ,more melody ,more intricacy And heavier obviously: abr is way way better than anybody of its kind out there .
+ACIV Babeli I was actually stressing on the intricate song structures . if you like it hard then sky is not even the limit . for example,martyr defiled's at the throne of salem. but definitely abr is not proggy. still they retain their metalcore signature. that's what I mean to say . anyway thank mate for communicating .
Really, a few songs are softer but overall I think this is their heaviest since Constellations with a strong Messengers feeling. Really digging the heaviness of most songs on this album.
The end will come The end will come Some will say the end will come But I know it's never ending Words give meaning to my thoughts What gives meaning to this feeling? I know what I did I know what I said I know what I did I know what I said It's dangerous, so dangerous I've made friends with a stranger And it's endangering us It's dangerous, so dangerous I've made friends with a stranger And it's endangering us When what you love is taken away You realize what you're made of You'll have to find your way You'll have to scream and claw at the air You strapped your pack to your back And all the weight is yours to bear The help we find is the hope we need It's the hand that guides us back We can will ourselves to remember our word But we all too quickly forget Along the way I got lost Now the way back home is overgrown This isn't an addictive thought It's a ravenous feeling Ravenous feeling Conviction must be greater than life's afflictions I follow in my own footsteps Rather than following classical conditioning I wish I had the will to keep my word Yeah I'm looking back to face what's ahead (It's dangerous) I faced danger and it finally fled (It's dangerous) I'm looking back to face what's ahead (It's dangerous) I faced danger and it finally fled (It's dangerous)
I only recently started getting into these guys, and I swear, every single time a song on this album ends, I think to myself "That's definitely one of my favorites" o.O That doesn't happen much with me so I am impressed. :D
Monica LW lol I saw your review of the new Red songs when I was searching for it, cool to see you listening to ABR. This album is like 'Rescue and Restore' and 'Messengers' combined, you should def give it a listen. "Rescue and Restore" is now my second favorite album after this one O.O (listen to the song Echoes, it's beautiful) and if you want more heavy listen to Messengers.
Cool! Yeah, the only ABR albums I've heard so far are this one and Constellations. They are definitely a good band! I will check out more of their stuff at some point. :)
True, the buildup to that one is pretty sick. There are already so many memorable moments on this album for me, and it hasn't even been out for 12 hours yet haha
Roger Rabbit I like the one in Generations better because of the speed and buildup to it. This one just sounds like an early 2000's breakdown from any generic metalcore band.
David Marsh I see what you mean. Lots of other bands have used and abused the whole "pause, scream a quote, then go right into a breakdown" method, and it can be very predictable. But I think on this song it comes completely out of left field because we almost never hear it from them. And the way Jake screams "yeah" just adds all new layers of power here. I dunno, I just really dig it haha. But the Generations one is sick too.
By far the best song off this album. Great work guys keep kicking ass and don't change your style for anyone. So many bands have lost my interest for changing there style and for what? You guys will continue to be my favorite band for simply not giving in to any "cleaner" influences, this is metal, let's keep it metal 🤘ABR!
ya alex I agree about phinehas . they are another of my favourite bands . and love architects or make them suffer too . but among all these bands I think abr to be the most consistent. mostly because their heaviness is not for heaviness' sake . that comes easy like a plane landing or something to a mellow but complex ground only to get ready for a flight again . and again all the other bands mentioned are so damn good too. thanx bro . we need this kinda music.
Holy Jesus. August Burns Red was already number one, but this absolutely DESTROYS everything else in metalcore. Congrats ABR, you just ensured that your album is untouchable- you guys are the Gods of Metalcore.
Caught Wet I don't think so, I love KSE, but they have never had the song writing ability of ABR. I'd say the top contenders are Veil of Maya and Currents, but they don't come close.
Living in False Eyes Have you listened to incarnate? if you haven't that is the best metalcore album to me but I guess ABR and KSE are two different styles of metalcore.
This slams SO hard jamming in my Truck right now through headphone Jack!! This seriouslly pukks on my heart strings seriouslh pa kz alot of feel n emotion in thesse riffs! One hell of a song!!!! Found it while working at Beretta jamming it came on and blew my mind! \m/ stay brutal folks!
Seeing these guys for the first time in Jan! Stoked asf. Fell off in the recent years but messenger and constellations were a huge part of me in high school. New album is Fuckin rad guys, see you in a couple months!
This song will always remind me of when I had to fight to get custody of my daughter. "When what you love Is taken away, You realize what you're made of." ❤🤘❤🤘❤🤘❤ Fucking love this band.
going to see these kids tonight in Norfolk Virginia. not really that stoked on this album but i wouldn’t change a thing about this song. (only going for BOO)
One thing that always stuck with me my choir teacher always said "you can sing anything as long as the lyrics are understandable that's what makes you great"....🤟
That breakdown is gonna cost millions in hospital bills, Jesus
Alexander McYates “let’s see how many people we can get to start a gofundme before they see us live”
Sounds dare I say... dangerous?
definitely
Oh yeah
Literally saw a leg snap in half!!!
ABR has the BEST interludes out there. Hands down.
Also: 3:37 CHILLS.
Devon Miller I love their music but the interludes get old when you put them into 80% of your songs.
The raw emotion in the last 45 seconds of this song gives me chills
It's so refreshing to see a metal band get HEAVIER! It's so common for bands to lighten up with time; however, ABR has delivered with their heaviest release since 07/09 depending on who you talk to haha. That ending breakdown will kill live. I get goosebumps every time I hear it.
My favorite song on the album. That breakdown is to die for. I reallly hope they play this live, I need to see the destruction from that breakdown in person
owningall seeing them this coming January. No DOUBT this will be in their set list.
When I saw them they opened with this one
Just ordered the album and the t-shirt. Can't wait till they get here. Best ABR album to date.
I've had the pleasure of swinging my head to these dudes since their first album...and holy balls does each album get better and better! This album is fucking Godly....keep this shit coming fellas....never stop!....you guys have just raised the bar! Thank you dudes!
In the words of Owen Wilson, "Wow"
Andrew W add the "h" to wow
WHOOOWWW
You actually made me laugh lol wow
ABR NEVER DISAPPOINTS
👍
3:37 when you hit the edge of your coffee table with your toe
lol
When you step on a LEGO.
Reese Tussey when you hit the coffee table and step on a lego
And your toe has an ingrown nail... 🤘😭🤘
When your wife wants you to get off the game and watch dumb shows with her.
My number one off the entire album.
This album is hands down one of their best yet. Absolutely.
killer song! more kicks ,more blasts ,more shreddings ,more melody ,more intricacy And heavier obviously: abr is way way better than anybody of its kind out there .
Avik Chatterjee depends on what you like. For me the whole album is way too soft. I still like Back Burner. This song right here is really good tho
+ACIV Babeli I was actually stressing on the intricate song structures . if you like it hard then sky is not even the limit . for example,martyr defiled's at the throne of salem. but definitely abr is not proggy. still they retain their metalcore signature. that's what I mean to say . anyway thank mate for communicating .
well yeah, because there is no band that sounds like abr
I think Parkway Drive and Killswitch Engage can hold their own.
Really, a few songs are softer but overall I think this is their heaviest since Constellations with a strong Messengers feeling. Really digging the heaviness of most songs on this album.
Matt wrote the lyrics. They're about finding the warning signs in the poor decisions you make. Specifically, the struggle with porn.
The end will come
The end will come
Some will say the end will come
But I know it's never ending
Words give meaning to my thoughts
What gives meaning to this feeling?
I know what I did
I know what I said
I know what I did
I know what I said
It's dangerous, so dangerous
I've made friends with a stranger
And it's endangering us
It's dangerous, so dangerous
I've made friends with a stranger
And it's endangering us
When what you love is taken away
You realize what you're made of
You'll have to find your way
You'll have to scream and claw at the air
You strapped your pack to your back
And all the weight is yours to bear
The help we find is the hope we need
It's the hand that guides us back
We can will ourselves to remember our word
But we all too quickly forget
Along the way I got lost
Now the way back home is overgrown
This isn't an addictive thought
It's a ravenous feeling
Ravenous feeling
Conviction must be greater than life's afflictions
I follow in my own footsteps
Rather than following classical conditioning
I wish I had the will to keep my word
Yeah
I'm looking back to face what's ahead
(It's dangerous)
I faced danger and it finally fled
(It's dangerous)
I'm looking back to face what's ahead
(It's dangerous)
I faced danger and it finally fled
(It's dangerous)
It's clearly evident the amount of time, care, and attention that was put into this album!!! WELL DONE ABR!!
I only recently started getting into these guys, and I swear, every single time a song on this album ends, I think to myself "That's definitely one of my favorites" o.O That doesn't happen much with me so I am impressed. :D
Monica LW lol I saw your review of the new Red songs when I was searching for it, cool to see you listening to ABR.

Cool! Yeah, the only ABR albums I've heard so far are this one and Constellations. They are definitely a good band! I will check out more of their stuff at some point. :)
Listen to Counterparts
Welcome to the ABR fan base. You won’t be disappointed. Ever.
Monica LW because they never start a song and end it the same way deff one of the most unique metal bands out there been my favorite for years
This album is slowly becoming one of my new favorites of ABR
things you'll never hear
1. a bad ABR song
trinirocker101 So true.
2. a good and catchy ABR chorus.
what about the frost. that was a misfire
they use song-structures like a chorus? Guess this is rumours...
things you'll never hear ²
Ahh, yess... this feels like the fist time I heard "COMPOSURE". Good stuff this is, with the interesting brindge and all.
End of this song is the best breakdown on the album. Hell yeah!!
Reid Fowler I personally have to give that honor to Generations at 3:03 haha
True, the buildup to that one is pretty sick. There are already so many memorable moments on this album for me, and it hasn't even been out for 12 hours yet haha
David Marsh thats just a harder breakdown of the earlier one during the song. this one is just.. jesus..
Roger Rabbit I like the one in Generations better because of the speed and buildup to it. This one just sounds like an early 2000's breakdown from any generic metalcore band.
David Marsh I see what you mean. Lots of other bands have used and abused the whole "pause, scream a quote, then go right into a breakdown" method, and it can be very predictable. But I think on this song it comes completely out of left field because we almost never hear it from them. And the way Jake screams "yeah" just adds all new layers of power here. I dunno, I just really dig it haha. But the Generations one is sick too.
I have never wanted to be in a mosh pit this badly 🤘🏻😝🤘🏻
The Gaming Gengar I'm lying down, listening to this song and I'm half moshing. HOLY DICK
This is my favourite track off the record so far.
By far the best song off this album. Great work guys keep kicking ass and don't change your style for anyone. So many bands have lost my interest for changing there style and for what? You guys will continue to be my favorite band for simply not giving in to any "cleaner" influences, this is metal, let's keep it metal 🤘ABR!
OH MY GOSHNESS!!!!! 3:36 just blew my ears right off!!
Love coming back to this song. The lyrics are amazing. Hard to choose but probably my favorite song from them.
Best one so far from this album
Frikkie 92
Oh yeah? Well i laugh in the face of danger, ha ha ha ha hhaaa.
Lol give the time and coordinates and ill see you there
This is my favorite song on the album, for sure.
this song needs a music video!!!!!
definitely .... and ASAP =D ... ABR rulezzz
santiago maiz yass
This is such an amazing album, my God. Glorious.
3:37 hit me harder than my stepdad did
FastAlex fuck
Dude what
FastAlex win
That's rough buddy
😂
3:37 Dat Breakdown! Going to make me go super saiyan in the mosh pit. xD
John Turner it’ll make me *talk* about going super saiyan but I’m too old to actually.
Michael Scott ^
3:37 I stopped breathing and I’m 99% sure my heart stopped! So good!
Yesterday I heard this album and it was my first time listening this band and I'm lovin
This song my have the best ABR guitaring out of all of their previously released songs. Those riff's are insane.
Holy shit.....Done it again. You guys are so incredible really pushes me to keep playing and pursue my dreams!!! LOVE IT
There are some really gripping and spellbinding intros out there in metalcore, but this takes the cake.
ABR! Long life for
ABR just gets better and better
The most evil breakdown I’ve ever heard. I guess you could call it....
Dangerous :-)
Right! King of sorrows breakdown at the end I think hasn it best tho!
That breakdown is like Back Burner pt2
ahahahah Dangerous :D
Kevin Rink Like Moths To Flames - I Solemnly Swear 😉
I don't think they'll ever top the breakdown in Speech Impediment
This song reversed my Benjamin button disorder. Thank you August Burns red.
ya alex I agree about phinehas . they are another of my favourite bands . and love architects or make them suffer too . but among all these bands I think abr to be the most consistent. mostly because their heaviness is not for heaviness' sake . that comes easy like a plane landing or something to a mellow but complex ground only to get ready for a flight again . and again all the other bands mentioned are so damn good too. thanx bro . we need this kinda music.
ABR ...forever !!!
this sounds amazing.
Que tal Album !
Son los Amos del Metalcore ❤, Saludos desde Perú !.
This song has become my favourite song off the album, soo good
Wow these guys never cease to amaze me
That motif is mental.
Love the tone at the beginning
Waking up to this is DANGEROUS!
Thank you ABR for being so wonderful!
ABR have transcended the vagaries of metal and given us a full plate of existential-metal.....!
Holy Jesus.
August Burns Red was already number one, but this absolutely DESTROYS everything else in metalcore.
Congrats ABR, you just ensured that your album is untouchable- you guys are the Gods of Metalcore.
Living in False Eyes I think KSE can beat them
Caught Wet I don't think so, I love KSE, but they have never had the song writing ability of ABR.
I'd say the top contenders are Veil of Maya and Currents, but they don't come close.
Living in False Eyes Have you listened to incarnate? if you haven't that is the best metalcore album to me but I guess ABR and KSE are two different styles of metalcore.
This slams SO hard jamming in my Truck right now through headphone Jack!! This seriouslly pukks on my heart strings seriouslh pa kz alot of feel n emotion in thesse riffs! One hell of a song!!!! Found it while working at Beretta jamming it came on and blew my mind! \m/ stay brutal folks!
THE HEAVIEST TUNE! HOLY SHIT! BANGER! ABR FOR LIFE MAN, HANDS DOWN!
What's dangerous is how loudly I want to play that breakdown at the end of the song!
Matt wrote these lyrics. The interview is on Loudwire.
Best song of a great album. They better play this live.
I'm pretty sure they will, they have been posting their guitarist playing sections of it on facebook.
best song, that first minute is beyond epicness
Seeing these guys for the first time in Jan! Stoked asf. Fell off in the recent years but messenger and constellations were a huge part of me in high school.
New album is Fuckin rad guys, see you in a couple months!
You guys never disappoint thank you for everything! ABR!
I love ABR, never a bad song!!!
Love this.
Had to replay 3:37 over and over. Haven't heard anyone pull off such a breakdown Since Northlane - Discoveries
this band has absolutely no chill its either 0 or 100 and i love it.
This song will always remind me of when I had to fight to get custody of my daughter.
"When what you love
Is taken away,
You realize what you're made of."
❤🤘❤🤘❤🤘❤
Fucking love this band.
I had a tiny bit of born of Osiris vibe at the beginning. Love it
going to see these kids tonight in Norfolk Virginia. not really that stoked on this album but i wouldn’t change a thing about this song. (only going for BOO)
One of the best songs off the album for sure hands down if you like breakdowns melodic yet hardcore best song
That intro solo tho... god dayum!
Who else agrees that matt greiner is a robot.
Momentsinmemories A God**
Your head is gonna explode if you watch any Alex Rudinger cover
Matt's awesome but you should check out the drummer for Oceans Ate Alaska
it could be a theory, so unreal seeing him drum. i think its their spirit in god you believe in something or try hard enough to become that you will
David Tran don’t compare chris turner ( OAA ) with HOOMANS
That breakdown is dangerous.
Listening to August Burns Red is like being vocally bludgeoned with a happy stick, and you enjoy it.
Well, now I have to stay up all night.
One thing that always stuck with me my choir teacher always said "you can sing anything as long as the lyrics are understandable that's what makes you great"....🤟
Wow....just, wow
They will never be bad
Finally great guitar tricky parts, thats metalcore.
The end will COOOOOME I love it
ABR forever❤️
goose bumps as always
Best song for me, personally. At 1:50 I got some Stranger Things vibes with the synth in the background
KILLERBOOTS I thought Stranger Things as well lol
Mouthbreathers
Mexican standoffs
One of their best songs tbh
JB's playing style is really unique.
AAAAAWESOME TONES.
Awesome shit maannn!! Loving what I'm hearing 🤘🏼
Jesus will love metalcore because of ABR Lawl
That breakdown made me jump up an spin kick my brother!. Fuck yeah!
Matt never disappoints🤘🤘🤘
unrivaled against any other album this year
Jesse Slocum Counterparts
Fantastic last minute or so.
That breakdown sounds dangerous
Wow , just amazing
great song guys
So sick as always!
Best song on the album
Best ABR breakdown ever?
Great song
Holy shit I can't wait.
Matt wrote this song about how dangerous the industry of pornography is to well.. everyone and his struggles. Love it.
Great song!!
Going to upload this to pornhub......
SYTHEOPATH 1 The irony? This song is about porn.
Jonathan Condor no way! Is it really?
Yeah Matt talked about it in an interview with loudwire
Well technically on how porn is dangerous and bad.
dsplayerboy10 well now I just feel bad commenting that. But I don't take it back. Because this song is porn and gets me just as excited.
