The ending lyrics “I feel like a fuck up / I feel like a failure / But at least it’s not every day / And I am getting better” kills me every time. And this album is a masterclass in breakdown callouts. 10/10
This album is near perfect. I had decently high expectations and it somehow completely surpassed them. The singles are actually some of the weaker tracks here and that's saying something. Listening to this in the gym is a therapeutic experience.
This is probably gonna stick as my AOTY. That said, my only critique is the relative lack of those spoken-word verses/pre-breakdowns I had fell in love with on previous albums! There's a little on "Face the Blade" but I would have appreciated more. It always goes hard af.
The first half of this album is unhinged. The final breakdown on Turning Hate to Rage has one of the hardest callouts of recent memory followed by a disgusting hi hat breakdown. Then Darkness Shared with that incredible singing section in the middle and the transition into Like Petals From A Stem. Then the super high cleans on the chorus of Easily Erased and then the final breakdown with the slowdown in the middle of it. Then the chill section at the end of Cursed to Remember. And the breakdown with the riff in the background in the middle of the title track. I could go on forever about how perfect this album is. Currently one of my favorite albums of the year but there are some very strong contenders in the next few months with ERRA, Imminence, Like Moths To Flames, and Knocked Loose. 9.5/10 Edit: I also forgot to mention how beautiful and perfect that Marcus feature is. He has been killing it on the features lately.
Coming back to this reaction in December and I still think this album is in a league of its own. It truly has become one of the all time favorites over the last 8 months
Had a chance to see them live, met the lead vocalist and the band was nice enough to sign my vinyl of their new album. They put on an amazing show to say the least.
Just saw them last week in Brooklyn. Walked into the venue and 5 minutes later Matt just walked in and i started fangirling like the grown ass man I am and took a picture with him. Nicest fucking dude, and they put on my favorite performance i’ve ever seen
My AOTY So Far This Year, This Entire Album Should Be In Try Not To Headbang at this point Cause It made me Headbang So Much It Physically Broke My Neck
When this album came out, I listened to it a couple of times just to try to figure out the hype around it. And now I genuely don't understand how I pretty much rejected this album for almost entire year! Finally this is my aoty. It is so insanely intense and packed, such a dark and painful experience, and somehow every next feature on this album makes it even deeper and darker.. For a TNTH challenge you can just take this album alone, start to finish haha
@@dravenripley9468Well it's a matter of taste for sure. I Let It In And It Took Everything was really a genre-defining album that affected the modern metal scene tbh, impact was huge so and hype for upcoming stuff is huge. I'm pretty sure that even Boundaries have been inspired with some Loathe because some parts of that album have that similar disgusting good vibe. (no grunge/shoegaze/nu metal vibe tho), more of a classic metalcore with hardcore-leaning style but in a modern shape with black metal elements.
Not gonna lie, I knew these guys would give Knocked Loose a run for their money but I didn't expect them to outclass them (in my opinion). I was let down by the new KL but this album was just phenomenal.
I've been on Boundaries since 2020's Your Receeding Warmth, which is a fantastic album and yet they somehow just keep putting out better stuff. Absolutely incredible and underrated band
These guys really do not miss. Not only do they bring back an old sound, but they crush it and make it heavier somehow. Every song is just an ass beater of an experience, and emotionally intense. The moshes for this band have to be wild
This album is so insane. I literally don't have words. It just slaps you around with no fucks given 🤘🔥🖤 thanks for sharing this experience with us Bogdan, this one is very special!
This album opens with some absolute fucking headkickers. It’s going to take me a while to fully absorb this album, it’s intense, full of moments. It feels like a classic, it feels relentless, until you get a chill bit, but they feel earned. I was listening to this first time on a wild rural back road blast, windows down… if I’d seen a cop I was getting cuffed. This will be hard to beat for my AOTY. This my kinda shit.
Dropped everything when I saw this video come through my feed. Boundaries and Silent Planet have been my favorite bands for a hot minute now and I got to see them both this past year. Worth every minute! Boundaries brings the feels every time 😢
the first breakdown in Inhale The Grief should be illegal... the nostalgia of that type of brealdowns hits home... a masterpiece and a masterclass to how to do metalcore right! AOTY for me, easily! "I feel like a fuck up I feel like a failure But there are reasons for everything And im still getting better"
I agree with what you said Bogdan about having more clean melodic singing from the drummer on this album. Other then that the whole album is just breakdown city with some great features my favourite feature being Marcus from Invent Animate. Took some cool industrial sounding turns and nice instrumental twists sprinkled throughout. AOTY so far for me in 2024 looking forward to what Knocked Loose can deliver with their new album. Looking forward what April will bring us in metal! \m/
Listened to this maybe four times now since release and it just gets better and better. My AOTY 100%. I truly didn't think they could top Burying Brightness but here we are.
The variety in this album is so great. Any kind of metal fan will like different facets of each song. I think Cursed to Remember is my fav. The outro reminded me of Armor For Sleep which was a mad throwback.
This is the first time i listened to Boundaries and it was not a disappointment. This is my current aoty, but with most likely be topped by Imminence in 2 weeks.
This album blew me away honestly, I was not a fan of Burying Brightness at all and I thought YRW was a solid album, but nothing mind blowing, I was really hoping that Matt would do a bit more vocally because while I thought he was good in the past, I wanted a little bit more variety, but goddamn they all delivered and this is one of the biggest steps up from a band that I have seen in a long time
Coming back to this in 2025 and it confirms that this album is AOTY of 2024 (personally).. The wall punching breakdowns, the choruses, the melodies, the amazing riffs.. it's nearly perfect!! Couldn't ask for more, honestly.. huge thanks to Boundaries for that :)
Since it was my first album discovering them, Burying Brightness is probably going to forever be my favorite Boundaries album. I think this one lacks for me some of the “wow moments” of BB, like the ending of Your Own Murder and the secret track. But idk, I’ll have to give this one a couple hundred listens to find out 😉 Truth be told, I have a couple critiques after a few listens of the album. The vocals are too loud in the mix and kind of drown everything else out sometimes, especially the guitars. Don’t get me wrong, the vocals are godly, but sometimes my caveman brain wanna hear those chugs! Second, I think the album is a touch eclectic stylistically. I thought Burying Brightness, for me, was a touch more cohesive in terms of what I was hearing. This album jumps around between melodic metalcore, first wave metalcore, metallic hardcore, sometimes even within a single song, which feels a touch all over the place. And lastly, I think the album is kinda long, I would’ve been fine with 10 songs instead of 12. But even with all that, it’s still like a 9/10. Good job Boundaries, I love you
Not usually my cup of tea, but this entire album was an absolute masterpiece start to finish. Easily AOTY frontrunner for now, I can only see Erra or maybe Knocked Loose topping this.
The chorus of Easily Erased was honestly annoying to me when the single came out. But when listening to this album I was looking forward to it so much, cause of how fking heavy the beginning of the album was haha. Love this album, feel like the only thing that can rival it this year will be Knocked Loose.
Вибач Богдан, хоч альбом і розйобний , але це впевнене друге місце, після хлопаків з Кентакі, які випустили в травні альбом року вже наперед Я твій патрон якшо шо, бачив кожну реакцію і особливо на альбом K//L кожен раз ридаю під Sit & Mourn Це найепічніша кульмінація яку я чув, цей післясмак словами не передати, мене ніби випотрошили а потім засунули всі органи і кишки назад а потім випотрошили знову

Yeah this wasn’t just an album. It was a deep, dark experience.
deep dark fantasies

I don’t think an album tops this for me this year. Absolutely incredible from start to finish
check ouy Frail Body’s Artificial Bouquet tho!!
@@winterfrost99 imma check that out rn
I wasn't all the way in on boundaries before, and this album took that personally. The lyrics are incredible. I want to just give the vocalist a hug.
An album that ppl will reference in yrs to come “got me through a lot”. And that doesn’t even consider the musicality of it, which is 🔥
it made me happy to see you enjoy this album as much i did haha
i’m with you on that one
This album is near perfect. I had decently high expectations and it somehow completely surpassed them. The singles are actually some of the weaker tracks here and that's saying something. Listening to this in the gym is a therapeutic experience.
Agree some single are weakest than any burying brightness,hartford county misery and your receding warmth.
This is probably gonna stick as my AOTY.
That said, my only critique is the relative lack of those spoken-word verses/pre-breakdowns I had fell in love with on previous albums! There's a little on "Face the Blade" but I would have appreciated more. It always goes hard af.
is survived by is such a goated song for that
Not a second of filler on this album. So much rage and emotion and the production is stellar. Hope they get recognition they deserve after this gem
The first half of this album is unhinged. The final breakdown on Turning Hate to Rage has one of the hardest callouts of recent memory followed by a disgusting hi hat breakdown.

Bro this is early front runner for album of the year, and it just may hold on all year. This is perfection.
This is Randy LaBoeuf- core / Dying Wish Symptoms Of Survival part 2
The new Wristmeetrazor too.
Actually the most satisfying production out there imo
Oh boy, this was good. Love me some good ol 2000s metalcore.

What means AOTY ?
@@fire3005Album Of The Year.
I never thought they would top Your Receding Warmth but they somehow cleared it by far

This is their best material by a long shot and 100% AOTY contender 🔥🔥🔥
Keem is gonna go nuts over that breakdown in Blame's Burden
yeah😂
Bobby are gonna get beat up no doubt
Transition from the first song to the second is immaculate
Blew my mind. I haven’t FELT an album flow through my body like this in a while
this AOTY is still sending constant waves of goosebumps after listening to it my entire 8hr shift yesterday. absolute INSANO MODE
My AOTY so far, Imminence or Knocked Loose might dethrone, we'll see
all great picks!
Wait for Loathe
@@Vixfor_once loathe drops it’s over

UPDATE: Now crowned as his AOTY
Aoty of 2024 and it’s not even close

Your reaction is everything bro. Legit reacted the same way. It’s incredible
I've been on Boundaries since 2020's Your Receeding Warmth, which is a fantastic album and yet they somehow just keep putting out better stuff. Absolutely incredible and underrated band
They refuse to miss and are offended at the thought
3 masterpiece albums in a row, this band is on an whole another level ❤
I love how there is not a single comment on this video about the band being bad.
Boundaries is coming for that fuckin crown.
these boys have absolutely CHEFFED something special with this album 🔥🥵
It's october and it's still my AOTY, so good!
I was hyped for this, but it was even better than I expected
2:14-2:49 the best moment in 2024
this album is a masterpiece
This album still stands at the top this year. This is AOTY.
This album is a 10/10. Not a single skip. It's my favorite of last year too😂
Boundaries ain’t playing around🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
These guys really do not miss. Not only do they bring back an old sound, but they crush it and make it heavier somehow. Every song is just an ass beater of an experience, and emotionally intense. The moshes for this band have to be wild
Dude yes you just nailed why I like them so much!
This album is so insane. I literally don't have words. It just slaps you around with no fucks given 🤘🔥🖤 thanks for sharing this experience with us Bogdan, this one is very special!
so glad i got to be in stream for this one. what a special album
The amount of unique breakdowns and tempo changes and catchy choruses and heavy ass lyrics and perfection is just overwhelming. AOTY 100%.
The riffs from Darkness Shared reminded me of As Blood Runs Black in 2006
It was giving me more As I lay Dying flavors but either way its peak OG 2000s riffing
Next week ERRA and Alpha Wolf then after that the Northlane EP 😮💨😮💨😮💨😮💨 we eatin good
What do you think about those album ? imo kinda mid (i mean their previous record is much better). Need another perspective
i saw this band live in a small venue and it was hands down the best live show ive ever been to
The last couple lines of lyrics are INSANELY heavy. Give me chills every time. So fucking depressing. It’s fantastic
Darkness Shared riff very similar to Shattered Glass by Fit for a King. Love the reactions brother, sick album!
This album opens with some absolute fucking headkickers. It’s going to take me a while to fully absorb this album, it’s intense, full of moments. It feels like a classic, it feels relentless, until you get a chill bit, but they feel earned.
I was listening to this first time on a wild rural back road blast, windows down… if I’d seen a cop I was getting cuffed.
This will be hard to beat for my AOTY.
This my kinda shit.
Album has been on repeat all week.
Dropped everything when I saw this video come through my feed. Boundaries and Silent Planet have been my favorite bands for a hot minute now and I got to see them both this past year. Worth every minute! Boundaries brings the feels every time 😢
the first breakdown in Inhale The Grief should be illegal... the nostalgia of that type of brealdowns hits home... a masterpiece and a masterclass to how to do metalcore right!

"I feel like a fuck up

But there are reasons for everything
And im still getting better"
This is genuinely a 10 out of 10 album

Absolute perfect album! Loved every second of it
Watching this on stream was fucking immaculate
Banger after Banger
Listened to this maybe four times now since release and it just gets better and better. My AOTY 100%. I truly didn't think they could top Burying Brightness but here we are.
Easily AOTY (the one secular at least). This album just grabs you and doesn't let go the entire run. I absolutely loved it.
Absolutely incredible and chaotic album. It's been on repeat🔥🔥
lets go new album of the year (6th this year) just dropped!
The variety in this album is so great. Any kind of metal fan will like different facets of each song. I think Cursed to Remember is my fav. The outro reminded me of Armor For Sleep which was a mad throwback.
JESUS CHRIST this hits different 💀🔥

can't deny best of the best
love this band. cant wait for the hometown show. wear this band on my sleeve.
Album of the decade. I love this fucking band so much
AOTY by a large mile this year. But we know in what awards it's not going to win it.
"Death is Little More" is the People's AOTY
This album brought me to tears,
I liked the last album a lot but this is absolute next level in every facet of the production
Since it was my first album discovering them, Burying Brightness is probably going to forever be my favorite Boundaries album. I think this one lacks for me some of the “wow moments” of BB, like the ending of Your Own Murder and the secret track. But idk, I’ll have to give this one a couple hundred listens to find out 😉

It is going to take a lot from Knocked Loose to beat this album as my AOTY. Fucking hell this shit is so outstanding
Slightly changing their style every album but staying with their roots. They just don’t miss. AOTY
tysm for posting this on yt
Just saw them yesterday, they was fucking brutal as fuck 🔥
Def the best Album i've heard so far!
Im happy that i called this being AOTY before release
It kinda felt like the songs that featured someone kinda followed the style of the band that they are from. AOTY for sure
Not usually my cup of tea, but this entire album was an absolute masterpiece start to finish. Easily AOTY frontrunner for now, I can only see Erra or maybe Knocked Loose topping this.
Invent Animate, Kublai Khan, Boundaries tour when? 👀
Please and thank you.
Throw Alpha Wolf in there because why tf not.
They did recently, but now bpundaries headlining for this album tour in north america with orthodox,kanoashi and no cure. That shit is insane.
My face has melted
This album makes me so fucking emotional man 🧍♂️
AOTY so far, love the Dying Wish/Kublai Khan sounding stuff coming out lately
In Like Petals From A Stem, the outro sounds like the Mary's letter from Silent Hill 2👀
AOTY alongside Bloom's album so far
The chorus of Easily Erased was honestly annoying to me when the single came out. But when listening to this album I was looking forward to it so much, cause of how fking heavy the beginning of the album was haha. Love this album, feel like the only thing that can rival it this year will be Knocked Loose.
This topped my gym playlist immediately
AOTY ? Probably. I didn't knew them and I put this album in my hears in the bus to school and it feels an unic energy...
I listened to this album 6 times yesterday lmao
lmao it’s hard to not listen to it 6 times a day it’s so fucking good
10/10 AOTY. It cannot be stressed enough how good their live sets are, the fact that they're somehow top the album live is going to melt my brain
When he said best vocal moment of the album I was like just wait for Matt lol
this entire album is nothing but absolute bangers from start to finish
"Holding a loaded gun"! in easily erased is nuts!!!
im a simple man, i hear riff and matt honeycutt and i am content
AOTY Knocked Loose is gonna have some fucking comp
Вибач Богдан, хоч альбом і розйобний , але це впевнене друге місце, після хлопаків з Кентакі, які випустили в травні альбом року вже наперед
