If people stopped thinking about it being “generic” or “changed too much” and actually tried to enjoy shit a lot of you would have a way better time listening to shit, in all genres of music lmao
Absolutely, 100% this. It seems like with most it’s a “it sounds the same, so I don’t like it” or “it’s too different, so I don’t like it” unless it’s a band that someone is really into. Metalcore in general all plays out the same. Stop over analyzing things and just enjoy the music
@@Jmespo83 Exactly, like why the fuck would I be enjoying a song but suddenly go “well it sounds good, but it follows the same verse, chorus, verse, pre chorus, chorus, breakdown, chorus scheme”. As long as it sounds good, I could give two shits how generic it is from a structure or musical point of view, it’s annoying because, if they DO change their sound, they hate on it, but now that they’re back with the old sound majority liked, it’s generic and sounds just like their old stuff which is what they asked for in the first place lmao
i honestly do not care about the use of the generic structure as long as the writing, production, riffs, vocals, etc all stand out. Which they do here.
I am a fan of this one. Not ground breaking at all, but easily added to my gym playlist for sure! Generic isn't a bad thing if it is done well - especially here
I haven’t listened to them since Challenger lol my soul is ready for a Challenger follow-up, this one reminds me of the golden era of metalcore like ‘08-‘13 ❤️
Hollow, Challenger and Unconditional is still my 3 fav ones and i still bang them so much. Don't care if this is another generic, im happy that they turns out back to the "old self" but with a more mature sound.
I love how they are evolving their sound, something that I love about this band, is that they know their most popular sound like "The Hollow" or "Challenger" and they build new elements to their sound, they are constantly changing, they don't stagnate in repeating their formula, they only put their sound to the test, and this time (unlike the previous album), it promises to be a more mature proposal, even lyrically. 🤘🤘🤘
Yes.. your comment pisses me off because it makes me think of new Crown The Empire and Asking Alexandria. I guess the difference there is that those bands didn't want to keep their old sound that 'works', even against the wishes of their own fans.
two things i noticed about this song. the chorus feels exactly like an old adtr chorus and the vocal pattern in the first verse is the same or almost the same as the pattern in 2:06 of Rot in Pieces by Alpha Wolf.
How is anyone using the term generic when describing them? They have an iconic as hell sound from their old stuff and this is going right back to it. The only generic stuff they dropped was that dad rock album.
It was really the second part of the chorus that got me and also the low that Matty did just before the breakdown. Yes, it's generic, but it is with the times. The chorus is a little more fluid, the guitars are a little more "djenty", and of course that two decade old song structure that is literally "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." Loved the track, hoping for more.
“Generic” is such an overused term. If they’re generic, then I guess Falling in Reverse, OM&M, and Beartooth are all generic too. Yet, they’re at the top of the list and I don’t see anybody complaining about their music though🤷🏻♂️
Hard disagree. Of Mice and Men are anything but generic right now- especially after Bloom and Pulling Teeth, Falling in Reverse has been doing some really creative stuff with the song re-imaginings and they’ve been innovating with genre-bending in Popular Monster, and Beartooth... Yeah I’ll give that to you. And people aren’t complaining about those bands because Memphis May Fire (Especially Matty Mullins) are a bunch of douchebags. That whole “Voice of a Generation” speech and the ‘Jezebel’ song are enough for me to write off this band completely.
@Call Me, BLEGH Me, If You Wanna Reach Me i like Matty Mullins. I can even vibe with his solo chirstian pop rock stuff. Being honest while i love the hollow and their heavier stuff. I feel like for this band this sound is their best and they should stick to it. I dont mind generic stuff. If it has good energy and vibes im good with it
This is the first track by them that their guitarist did all the mixing, mastering and producing on and it might have my favorite mix out if all their stuff so far
Honestly I am really happy with it. This is more of a getting back on their feet song so I appreciate the more normality to it at least they did it well. AM SUPER hyped for the new record if this is where it's heading
After 15 months of stress and forced change and pent up frustration all these bands are once again, being the voice their audiences need. Over a year and going of living in a different world than the one before quarantine and lockdowns is gonna pave the way to some great heavy music. It has reminded these bands about the real issues in the world besides where they land on the charts, and I am here for it. I'm not saying the lockdowns and quarantines were not warranted, they 100% were, but all the different governments around the world HEAVILY capitalized on all the fear and uncertainty, overstepping their place and manipulating the masses that are just worried about their family and friends and their careers or how they are gonna pay rent. If MMF is going back to thier roots and getting heavy, I cannot wait to see what bands like Parkway Drive(who I actually enjoyed their most recent LP a lot), Slipknot, Korn, WCAR, and other metalcore and even deathcore bands put out. Especially now that most of them have been writing or even recording during this time.
I always thought the guitarist of this band was underrated. His riffs are always fast and fairly technical while still being catchy, so I'm glad they went back to this style where he can actually showcase this talent (if even just for this one song). After the last two albums, I really enjoyed this return to form for them. It may not be groundbreaking or progressive in any way, but I think it's unfair to call this generic as they were one of the original "2012" metalcore bands.
They were part of the crew who pioneered the sound that is now considered generic. Like now this is generic but it’s a throwback to how they used to be and they were some of the leaders in modern metal core!
To be honest I fuck with this new wave coming in for metal and hard rock. You see bands that changed returning to form after failing to change, or in some cases coming back from SUCCESSFULLY changing, but I see so many bands returning to form. like this, Sleeping With Sirens, Bring Me The Horizon, and others.
Yo for real. After that terrible 2018 album I completely wrote them off also. So I’m just fucking happy they r back to making their OG type of music again. I hope the whole upcoming album is hard again.
I love The Hollow and Challenger, but everything after that has been pretty mehh for me. Aside from a song here and there of course. Very interested to see what this album’ll be like. It’s obviously “Generic” but sometimes that’s what you need! Lol.
Yeah.. never going to happen. First two albums were great from AA. I actually thought FDTD was their best album, in terms of sound. But I think Danny is forcing them in a different direction. One which very few of their fans actually want.
I wonder if A Day To Remember feel like idiots now after all these classic bands releasing heavy bangers and getting all the attention and love (MMF, TDWP, ChunkNCC, OM&M, even sleeping with sirens bringing back a little “heaviness”) Seems that people got quickly sick of that dad rock route all these bands took and they’re all swinging back to the heavy side and getting praise
Dude I like your reactions because you’re honest, if you don’t like it you’ll admit it. So I would like to request the song Masochistic Healing by Tethra…Based off what I think you like I think you’ll dig this one a lot, would love to see a reaction. Keep up the good work man 🤘
people love to shit on wage war, fit for a king, beartooth when they do a lot of songs like this... the only reason everyone loves this is because mmf has been away for a while.
What's the point in even calling a band "generic" ? It doesn't mean it's good or bad, it doesn't criticize anything, doesn't add to an argument or opinion and is definitly not an interesting thing to say. It just says "the structure of the song is classic" but sounds like "boring". It also makes you seem like an elitist and picky heavy music listener but in a wrong way. Instead of just feeling the song and enjoying it, you have to say it for whatever reason. So far, i guess you noticed it can be upsetting. I love MMF even when they get a bit softer (but not too much: This Light I Hold is neat, Virus was not and Broken was ok) and now i'm really glad about Blood & Water, this song is fucking sick. The singing, the instrumentals, the production are beyond any of my expectations. So yes, they are back stronger than ever so let's just celebrate.
Cody from Wage War was involved in this song and it shows
Lel only helped writing the cleans
Wait actually? Shit, thats pretty dope
He co wrote the whole album actually
"I bet this is what you wanted" Yup
If people stopped thinking about it being “generic” or “changed too much” and actually tried to enjoy shit a lot of you would have a way better time listening to shit, in all genres of music lmao

People are stupid and don’t deserve to have ears. That’s all.
@@GabrielXDrums well said
If its that generic, please tell me what other bands that sound like this new album of MMF, because I love it! (Wage War I already know :p)
i honestly do not care about the use of the generic structure as long as the writing, production, riffs, vocals, etc all stand out. Which they do here.
I am a fan of this one. Not ground breaking at all, but easily added to my gym playlist for sure! Generic isn't a bad thing if it is done well - especially here
Yes, sometimes we think that "generic" is something bad when doesnt mean that at all.
Love that catchy chorus.
I'm just glad they are back to their earlier metalcore days
You know, I'm getting some pretty solid self titled EP vibes from this. And I love it.
really liked the way this video was made, you make a reference and then show us what are you referring to, very cool!
Congrats on that!
Considering their track record over the past 5-7 years...this is a highlight.
You and Nik Nocturnal need to cover this. RIGHT NOW.
“Its a bit generic”
Yea but im a sucker for generic though
Thank you.
Give me a good Intro-Verse-Chorus-Verse-Chorus-Breakdown-Outro any day! I even prefer this to all those "techy" bands out there.
Absolutely
so nostalgic, makes me happy feels like music is finally swinging back around
I haven’t listened to them since Challenger lol my soul is ready for a Challenger follow-up, this one reminds me of the golden era of metalcore like ‘08-‘13 ❤️

First song I've ever heard from these boys and it's amazing!
I heard screaming and started crying. I missed them so much.

Probably their best song since Challenger! Matty’s screams sound better than ever!
Damn, Bogdan, I'm really liking the new editing style how you splice other songs into the video to show us what you're talking about.
Sure, it might be generic metal ore, but they might be one of the best at it.
I can agree with this
I can’t stand mmf after the voice of a generation nonsense
@@ryanbollinger1759 I don’t disagree. But, this seems to be step back towards 2007-2012 MMF.
It was really the second part of the chorus that got me and also the low that Matty did just before the breakdown. Yes, it's generic, but it is with the times.

Beartooth are the definition of generic.
@@ryanbollinger1759 I’m sorry, why are they douchebags ? It is a genuine question. I’m not aware of anything they did in exterior to the band.
@@gabmozes7858 Matty Mullins pretty much thinks he is the shit,he has a huge ego.
@@JacksonThornhill oh I see.
I freaking love the guitar on this one, unreal guitar work. Something really unique about it that gets me everytime.
DAMN! They are BACK ! What a beast ! Catchy and heavy!
I’m so happy they’re back with this sound. I still remember seeing them at 2012 Warped Tour. Good old times!
"Memphis may fire is one of the best generic metalcore bands."
-Change my mind-
@Call Me, BLEGH Me, If You Wanna Reach Me i like Matty Mullins. I can even vibe with his solo chirstian pop rock stuff. Being honest while i love the hollow and their heavier stuff. I feel like for this band this sound is their best and they should stick to it. I dont mind generic stuff. If it has good energy and vibes im good with it
Tbh nobody ever had these amazing mmf riffs ^^
Agreed.
@Call Me, BLEGH Me, If You Wanna Reach Me Amen and lol @ your username change 😂
They have a good album two good eps and like 3 other good songs lol.
I saw them play this live in Toronto in July, and it slaps live. So did Make Believe!
They did a good job with this. Happy they came back with something chunky this time. We're going into the right direction boys!
They brought back the peak sound of third wave metalcore and I'm here for it. This song could fit right on to Unconditional.
Im still banging up that album 👌
Was shocked on this in a good way. Great guitar tone!
It's not a bad song. It might not be the best song of the year, but i thought it was decent.
The best chorus of 2021 SO FUCKING FAR!
so catchy, they’re back, can’t believe it to be honest.🖤😭
Yea and they dropped a damn good track more to come i hope!
Admittedly I'm not even a fan of their old metalcore stuff or even much of their music but this song has me hooked.
Definitely a tad generic MMF but after that last album I’ll take this. The hook caught me for sure.
This^
This is the first track by them that their guitarist did all the mixing, mastering and producing on and it might have my favorite mix out if all their stuff so far
Here's to hoping that Asking Alexandria is the next band to go back to some of that heaviness they used to have
It's unlikely xD
@@fabiorodrigues3x I know and that makes me sad
100% unlikely. Seeing how Danny openly said they’re not going to scream like they did in past albums.
Honestly I am really happy with it. This is more of a getting back on their feet song so I appreciate the more normality to it at least they did it well. AM SUPER hyped for the new record if this is where it's heading
Love the video editing with the song snippets you're reffering to :)

I actually found this band only because of your try not to headbang lol. Found so much good music through your channel. Keep doing you man!
HOW ON EARTH IS THERE AN ADD BEFORE THE BREAKDOWNNNN?????
LMAOOO IK RIGHT, IM CRYINGGGGGG
It just slaps man makes me feel so nostalgic hearing them go back to their roots
Love your shirt !
If it has tinges of Wage War’s sound, know that Cody (guitar and clean vocals) helped write it.
Well, they definitely do Wage War better in this song than Wage War did on their last album. Wage War's last album was just pop rock!
Welcome back 😅 I missed you MMF
"Fuck yeah Matty, come on" lol
I always thought the guitarist of this band was underrated. His riffs are always fast and fairly technical while still being catchy, so I'm glad they went back to this style where he can actually showcase this talent (if even just for this one song). After the last two albums, I really enjoyed this return to form for them. It may not be groundbreaking or progressive in any way, but I think it's unfair to call this generic as they were one of the original "2012" metalcore bands.
The chorus and the breakdown are such polar opposite vibes and yet it somehow still works lol
Listen to Alleviate: Die for me. They are a new band and has the lead singer from Our Mirage in the band! One of the best songs of the summer!
Glad they’re back to Metalcore honestly.
This sounds like a Wage War song lol
Lel must be joking 😂 wage war never had these riffs
It seems like Cody helped Matt write the chorus. The riff is written by them tho
They fucking back this what I miss about them
Great song. Catchy chorus.
Very impressed with this one. I use to rip shit up with Memphis back in the Challenger days. This one doesn't disappoint
BANGER!!!
Definitely caught me off guard in my reaction 😂. I didn’t expect much considering their last album lol
I've said it once and I'll say it again, all these bands are gonna pull a BMTH and go back to heavy. AND I AM HERE FOR IT ALL \m/
SO GOOD!!! LOVE HEAVY MMF!!!
They were part of the crew who pioneered the sound that is now considered generic. Like now this is generic but it’s a throwback to how they used to be and they were some of the leaders in modern metal core!
Check out the new The Air I Breathe. It will shred you away. Fantastic comeback after 10 years. Shredcore
I was hoping for a little bit more from the vocals at the end of the song, but all around it sounded really good,
Generic and good are opposites. This is a pretty good track!
Uff that means asking alexandria its gonna be death metal the next year
You look so happy LOL
holy crap, that Ghost in the Mirror clip. I forgot that first album ever existed lol, thing slaps though
All I want is Wage War to be good again
To be honest I fuck with this new wave coming in for metal and hard rock. You see bands that changed returning to form after failing to change, or in some cases coming back from SUCCESSFULLY changing, but I see so many bands returning to form. like this, Sleeping With Sirens, Bring Me The Horizon, and others.
Check out the new The Air That I Breathe. 10 years and they are better than ever
3rd person to mention this. Definitely stoked to listen.
Memphis may fire going to banger again and matty mullins back to scream again
If the chorus had some screams that would make it so much better
Yo for real. After that terrible 2018 album I completely wrote them off also. So I’m just fucking happy they r back to making their OG type of music again. I hope the whole upcoming album is hard again.

They’ve been here and never left. That’s all.
End of review.
reminds me a lot of Challenger and The Sinner plus the lyrics are much better than their last few albums
Damnn... 😍😍😍😍😍
I'm glad they got back to how they used to sound on The Hollow. Not my favorite album, but def better than Broken.
Literally was just thinking if you were gonna react to this or not lol. Great timing
people love to shit on wage war, fit for a king, beartooth when they do a lot of songs like this... the only reason everyone loves this is because mmf has been away for a while.
This one goes hard. I surely hope they’re not just pandering to early fans with a single song. Also, are they pitch shifting?? They’ve gotta be.
You should react to “ life right now” “ what’s love”
