After the Burial does it better though. ATB grooves like no other. I'd much rather listen to literally any ATB album than this Wage War album. It's not a good sign if the best track on the album sounds like a different band entirely.
It even sounds like the same not haha. I don't think it was intentional, it was probably one of those things where you're so influenced, you don't even realize how much until you inadvertently create something similar to your influence haha.
@@Ryl0o For sure, man. I don't mean to disrespect or anything. Just wild that I didn't expect many ppl to like the song and now i feel to be in the minority hehe.
Ever since I opened Wage War, I'm a huge fan. I can agree that they sound pretty typical for metalcore but for me they've mastered it. I really like the blend of calm and banger songs every album. Experiments are good, but some times you need some good old metalcore, that where Wage War perfectly fits in for me.
Yes but tbh it is almost impossible to top either of these first albums..they are basically perfect to me and I think I'd say the same thing if Manic had been their debut.
Honestly, I love the album. Not one song i do not like but i am more into the generic feel. One thing i will say though is that i generally do not listen to songs that only have screams. I usually like the poppy cleans and so on but Death roll i just cannot stop listening to. There is just something about that song that gets me going. Along with High Horse. But for me, well done Wage War. It is generic but i am into that very much like Memphis May Fire. Very generic and very predictable but... bands like wage war and MMF are the best at this type of generic sound in my opinion so i will gladly accept and play on repeat. I respect your opinion though. I think most of your viewers will and should accept that this is just not your thing so keep doing what you do. It is great content.
I remember reading on Reddit or Twitter that Wage War sticks to the "metalcore formula" because they make it work and they're good with it and I believe this record proves that. I really enjoyed it, though I agree some songs sound really similar but when you take it for what it is, it's a fun metalcore album.
perfectly put, there’s not a bad song on there and they all have enjoyable bits to them, it’s just their first 2 albums prove they’re capable of much more
I definitely agree with your review. Death Roll was by far my favorite. And it’s not the fact it’s heavy, but it just feels so much more metal than the others. I’m personally not a fan of the forced-in poppy choruses with the simple cookie-cutter structures. Just looking at the lengths of the songs tells you about all you need to know, unfortunately.
Man I'm honestly surprised you called this album bland haha I found every song to be different and original and honestly has grabbed me as there best album because of how every song is different
At a certain point, you have to know that these guys write music that has a pretty predictable structure and take it for what it’s worth. That’s their style and they are damn consistent about it. So expecting something else is disingenuous imo. Respect your opinion though. Fun, solid metalcore in my opinion. Can’t wait to see them live.
Pleasantly suprised by this album. Every song is good, like this is not a half good/half bad like Pressure was to me. Relapse, Death Roll, Godspeed and True Colors are bangers, and even the softer are good. They used to be on of my favourite band 5 years ago and they are clearly climbing back up
Yo bro you listen to Dying Wishs debut album that dropped today? If not you gotta and let me know what you think about it. I love it! It's a banger! Every single song is so good, theres NO fillers no skips.
People are calling generic but honestly so many bands are experimenting lately, it's less often you find an album like this one. I really like this more than the past one
agree, They have had the same sound since blueprints, don't really get these people saying they wish they were heavy again. The guy who does cleans is my favorite part of this band.
Was actually pleasantly surprised by this album. Had it on repeat all day. Don't understand how people can rave about spiritbox and then call this bland. Maybe I'm just crazy.
I agree. Spiritbox is amazing but other than Yellowjacket I don’t find myself repeating it at all fr but this album from wage war is so damn good and I’ve had it on repeat
I also feel that Wage has been in the game longer, in terms of what people deem as the flagships of metalcore. By no means am i undermining the success of either band. Though it is Spiritbox’s first album, one that got a lot coverage and a lot of people like. Doesn’t happen often. I feel Manic is not as bland metalcore as some are saying. You can see where they want to diverge in terms of production and even some song writing. I don’t feel like it was quite enough to impress people. Wage has done most of this before, and I feel like that’s why people are deeming it “bland.” My literal biggest criticism on the entire album is just the choruses. Not that they’re objectively badly written, but they cookie-cutter them so much. High Horse, Manic, and Death Roll step away from those choruses and you see most often those are the highlights for people. Just an interesting point in my eyes
Wow, you can't even pick one spiritbox song and call it generic, from their first ep to now, not even a generic, bad song.all bangers, But ever since wage war released pressure they've been on a downward spiral. Too much mainstream, too much generic.
I personally like the album very much. Why? I think the band just continued to develop the last album "Pressure", although I think this album is even harder than Pressure. The album has really cool neck breakers Death Roll, High Horse and also very good metal ballads like Slow Burn and Never Say Goodbye, which still have good break downs. But honestly, what do you expect from Wage War? Great breakdowns, beautiful melodies and songs that jump and pop in your face. And that's exactly what this album has. We clearly have a further development of the band from the last album, which I personally found very awesome. What also fascinates me about this band is that the two singers complement each other perfectly and just do a great job. You can still find comparable cool things at Bury Tomorrow. I would therefore like to hold up the flag for this album and just tell you that the album is great fun and that you can access it without hesitation. Greetings from Germany.
To me it’s a step up from Pressure, but still not creative enough writing for my taste. Death Roll, If tomorrow never comes, and Relapse are big highlights for me
i actually wasnt expecting anything from wage war since pressure but they surprised me A LOT in this album theres some really solid tracks but i agree with Hard Core, i feel like ive heard those songs hundred times (when i first heard the main riff in Death Roll i thought it was a fucking Slaughter to Prevail song really sick song) also we have to remember that this is the type of music Wage War aim for, kinda generic and moshy they've been this way since Blueprints (that generic metalcore formula only worked for them at Blueprints and Deadweight cause basically at that time Metalcore was kinda evolving into Prog)
Wage war seems to kinda RIP off many bands. In my opinion. I know bands do similar things such as riffs and songs themselves but wage war seems to literally RIP off riffs and songs. My opinion tho
I don't understand this guy. He enjoys the whole album, he smiles, he says the breakdowns are great and then he says he doesn't like it HAHAHA The inconsistent guy!
I’m sad you didn’t like this album more. To me it’s done a great job of keeping a theme all the way through while expressing some very painful experiences in new and clever ways.
i love how two of the best albums this year in my opinion are This place Will Beckme Your Tomb and Manic. he didn't really like either haha. to each their own i guess 🤷♂️
I feel they would improve a lot if the unclean vocalist had more range with gutterals and such, and less verse chorus structure. Like 4 choruses in a song is too much, only 2 is really needed. Like their song Alive only had one clean vocal section and it was perfect.
Honestly nice to get others opinions on the music, personally loved the whole album from start to finish. Gonna be on repeat for the next few weeks. Honestly, Manic is the track that I least liked..but still liked it. TBH, not really hated anything Wage War have released over the years.
Loved the album, some songs felt kinda similar (way more than necessary) to their previous work but there's a few highlights like Death Roll and Manic. Overall it was a really great experience!
This album makes me sad, cause this band had the components to be amazing. Briton has phenomenal harsh vocals. Cody’s voice is beautiful. The drums are punchy, and the guitars are beefy. But most of what they compose is straight out of a formula, one that I don’t think they’ve done better since Blueprints
It's pressure 2.0 but way better imo. It still has the radio rock influences but their also not holding back on the screams and breakdowns. Deadweight is still their best album but this is up there.
I think I heard the same riff about 6 times when listening to this album (like you basically said). But damn their breakdowns are cool! Maniac (the song) will be on my playlist for a while I think. :)
The album is super meh to me. Death roll, high horse, relapse, and if tomorrow never comes were the standouts to be. I actually hate the title track. Idk what it is but it's just... Weird. Also the production on this album is strange. The guitars sound programmed, almost like a synth and not a guitar.
Blueprints and Deadweight are 2 of my favorites, but I’m so glad they took what they learned from Pressure and made the “wage war” sound instead of just being great modern metalcore
I think you have a very valid point. They used to be so cutting edge at the time of Blueprints and them being fresh really helped them. But them putting out the exact same record four times is kinda old. And don't get me wrong, I love every single song they've put out. There's not one miss. But when it all sounds so similar all the time for 5 or so years it gets kinda repetitive. I feel like they'll really start to fall off if they don't bring something new and great and innovative with their next record. *Don't get this mixed up cause Wage War is literally like Top 3 bands of all time for me and I've been a fan since literally the day Blueprints came out and I saw them on Warped in 16 so there is absolutely no hate in this comment*
response to fans albums is always SOLID but not impactful in long run. Death roll and Manic sound new but rest follow the same formula and easily get old……even on the first listen (for me personally)
So many soft moments..hate it!Exactly in the way they did it - PHC style..The same with Pressure and very big part of second album. In fact, Wage War is PHC band with some metalcore elements and breakdowns. But Death Roll is FIRE!
Your comment on "great musicians but music is eh" is exactly how I felt when I saw FFAK at Furnace Fest. Ryan is such a great singer, every musician killed it but good lord their new music is all so boring and bland. Oldest song they played was Deathgrip and man I was bored. Enjoyed the performance I guess? The new music is lame.
Fan since "Blueprints" dropped. I know you're in there, old WW. We can hear you in stuff like High Horse and Death Roll. Wish Cody could leave his pop/country influence out of the songwriting for a bit. Go write that country album you keep talking about, but please leave it out of WW.
I never understood the theory of X band sounds the same the entire way through so it sucked... I mean. Yea! Thats kinda how that should go to point. Im not a fan when a band changes up that much. Like... Whitechapel comes to mind. I mean good for them honestly, but when I think of them I think of those crushing lows, those grooves, that specific sound they bring, and when I want to hear that sound thats what I turn to because I know thats what they produce. Wage War is a band that has a certain sound to them, as all bands do. I was not a fan of their last album, but this to me sounds like... well... Wage War! I love it! If I wanted them to sound like... Veil of Maya, Id go listen to Veil. If I wanted them to sound like Thy Art Is Murder, id go listen to Thy Art Is Murder. If I wanted them to sound like... Taylor Swift... I mean... you get the picture. When I want to listen to Wage War I want them to sound like Wage War, so to me, this album Slaps! There is also enough little changes here and there to show they have grown and can twist their sound, but it still sounds like them.
There were a few tracks on this record that I clung to, but for me it was an overall okay record. Blueprints and Deadweight are superior of course, but Death Roll did it for me on this record. I liked the record overall, but I have my issues with it.
Glad you didn’t really enjoy this album cause this band and this genre of metalcore has been overdone and repetitive for so long. If you want a really heavy and interesting album this week? The band Frontierer is for you
This reaction feels like cognitive dissonance the movie. It feels like and looks like you really like it but then you explain why you actually didnt like it. Its like the reaction to when your friend doesnt reply to you for 5 days but then he buys you 5 bars of chocolate
As a new viewer I appreciate you commentary on the album...Gets me to see a different perspective. I kept my expectations in check for this album and went in expecting something similar to Pressure and I feel personally I was pleasantly surprised. After 3 listens through I would easily give this album at least a 9 in my opinion.
I actually really enjoy this album. I take it for what it is, a modern metalcore album. For me its like a cool blend of the old and new era of this band. Death roll S.L.A.P.S tho. But my mannnn, pleasssseeeeee do an album reaction of Das Album from wbtbwb!! This one is insaneeeeee start to finish.
"Breakdown city" throughout this entire record, and I've said it before, but as predictable as their song structure is in songs this entire record is a step up from "Pressure". Plus, "Death Roll" in my opinion is their heaviest track to date. Awesome job WW!!!
based on a lot of these comments it seems like if you werent a long time fan of this band this album is more likeable- def feels that way for me because i love it and this is my first introduction to the band
Death Roll is just pure After the Burial lmao
The pinch riff I see what you mean. But I don’t think it’s a copy cat.
@@cameronhill64 I've listened to the pinch riffs one after the other and I think it's like 2/3 same progression
After the Burial does it better though. ATB grooves like no other. I'd much rather listen to literally any ATB album than this Wage War album. It's not a good sign if the best track on the album sounds like a different band entirely.
@@jacksonislegend I'm not gonna argue against that
It even sounds like the same not haha. I don't think it was intentional, it was probably one of those things where you're so influenced, you don't even realize how much until you inadvertently create something similar to your influence haha.
Solid record overall, but “Death Roll” just blows everything else out of the water IMO
That song is gonna be mosh pit city at concerts
Crazy. I thought that's the worst song just because the harmonics are so annoying, haha.
@@TheFiXNormal hm I mean everyone has their likes and dislikes
@@Ryl0o For sure, man. I don't mean to disrespect or anything. Just wild that I didn't expect many ppl to like the song and now i feel to be in the minority hehe.
@@TheFiXNormal all good I'm pretty sure I gave myself minor whiplash at 4 in the morning headbanging to death roll
Ever since I opened Wage War, I'm a huge fan.
I can agree that they sound pretty typical for metalcore but for me they've mastered it. I really like the blend of calm and banger songs every album.
Experiments are good, but some times you need some good old metalcore, that where Wage War perfectly fits in for me.
Perfectly said. Sometimes you gotta go back to the basics.
For me, this album is way better than pressure, but doesn't hit the same level as blueprints and deadweight.
Thought the exact same thing
definitely agree with that
agreed
Personally disagree, this probably my second favorite album, my first being Pressure
Yes but tbh it is almost impossible to top either of these first albums..they are basically perfect to me and I think I'd say the same thing if Manic had been their debut.
I'm really glad the breakdowns are grooves and not chugs like usual
Some of them are very Lee Malia
@@tangentdark Lee is such an underrated composer, his riffs have such an unique sound.
Wage war really upped their breakdown game this album
Honestly, I love the album. Not one song i do not like but i am more into the generic feel. One thing i will say though is that i generally do not listen to songs that only have screams.

This album is a grower. 3-4 times spin, you'll find yourself singing along to the songs
💯💯 spot on

The album is just fantastic "comfort food" metalcore. Not even attempting to reinvent the wheel, but a pleasant listen.
The first part aged so bad...
Death roll and Manic caught me off guard when I first heard them, they’re both absolutely unreal songs
Death Roll is an experience. Looking past a lot of parts that are kinda default, there's some interesting diversity in this album.
The riff at the start of Death Roll literally sounds like After the Burial holy shit.
I definitely agree with your review. Death Roll was by far my favorite. And it’s not the fact it’s heavy, but it just feels so much more metal than the others. I’m personally not a fan of the forced-in poppy choruses with the simple cookie-cutter structures. Just looking at the lengths of the songs tells you about all you need to know, unfortunately.
Yeah, the lengths of the songs I was so surprised about. They are pretty much all 2 minute to early 3 minute songs. I wanted them longer.
Man I'm honestly surprised you called this album bland haha I found every song to be different and original and honestly has grabbed me as there best album because of how every song is different
Same
Not the AOTY but a good album ! High Horse, Manic and circle the drain are my favorite 🔥
Bro but Death Roll Tho Too
@@destinwinders6761 yes it’s true 👌

Absolute breakdown-fiesta, diggin' this one much better than Pressure.
Why do all their songs sound the same wtf

@@forevermarked5826 Try the new Frontierer album
@@forevermarked5826 i heard a couple but i really did not liked them so i didn't diged dipper but if you recommend it, i'm giving it another chance
This surprised me! I was hyped for it after Circle the Drain but it blew my expectations out of the water. The title track is just amazing
This album may be generic but I really enjoyed this album and Death Roll is an absolute banger
People are calling generic but honestly so many bands are experimenting lately, it's less often you find an album like this one. I really like this more than the past one
I’ve never been a Wage War fan (I’ve enjoyed a few songs here and there) but this album is definitely gonna push me into major fan territory.
they do generic stupid metalcore really well, if you go in looking for anything more than that you’re gonna be dissapointed. i liked it

Hears the first two: Meh i've heard these already.
Hard Core: *Hears Manic* ~surprise pikachu face
It’s some of the best gymcore and I’m here for it. 👌🏻
Once again the cleans/generic choruses bring this band down but on the other hand they really stepped up some of the breakdowns in terms of creativity
Would love to see him react to Humanity's last breath
Probably not his type of music I guess
I find them boring
They're awesome
i actually wasnt expecting anything from wage war since pressure but they surprised me A LOT in this album theres some really solid tracks but i agree with Hard Core, i feel like ive heard those songs hundred times (when i first heard the main riff in Death Roll i thought it was a fucking Slaughter to Prevail song really sick song)

Ya they can't run with the competition this year. Album was boring
Was actually clear before the album came even out lol
This album really surprised me with some really good tracks! Better than the singles in my opinion except for High Horse
Dying Wish new album is an absolute MUST for being broken by breakdowns
response to fans albums is always SOLID but not impactful in long run.
Death roll and Manic sound new but rest follow the same formula and easily get old……even on the first listen (for me personally)
Death Roll and If Tomorrow Never comes are probably my two favorite. Thought this was a pretty damn solid album.
It's a good album, better than pressure but not something I would have on repeat for weeks a few good songs I would have on repeat for a bit
Could you do a video about albums or eps that grew on you over time?
That :)
So many soft moments..hate it!Exactly in the way they did it - PHC style..The same with Pressure and very big part of second album.
In fact, Wage War is PHC band with some metalcore elements and breakdowns. But Death Roll is FIRE!

Death Roll is just the gift that keeps on giving. Definitely top favorite of the album.
correct me if im wrong but i think Jeremy Mckennin from ADTR produced this album

Death Roll’s first breakdown is easily the nastiest, most hectic breakdown and I think it could be my favorite breakdown I’ve heard in a while
There were a few tracks on this record that I clung to, but for me it was an overall okay record. Blueprints and Deadweight are superior of course, but Death Roll did it for me on this record.
I liked the record overall, but I have my issues with it.
Idk why but Manic breakdown reminds me of Alpha wolf
1 BLEGH in the whole album on the last track
Wow, am I liking this? Wtf
Or well, I like the bits in this video.
Glad you didn’t really enjoy this album cause this band and this genre of metalcore has been overdone and repetitive for so long. If you want a really heavy and interesting album this week? The band Frontierer is for you
Some of the heavy stuff is really good but it takes a backseat to so much butt-Rock. ….gateway band
god i loved this album never said goodbye was the only song i was meh about but i didnt hate it!! 8.5/10
You REALLY need to learn that music has lyrics…. Very basic takes
Btw, Matty Mullins wrote True Colors with Cody.
they really put the same on the album 11 times as if we wouldn't notice
This reaction feels like cognitive dissonance the movie. It feels like and looks like you really like it but then you explain why you actually didnt like it. Its like the reaction to when your friend doesnt reply to you for 5 days but then he buys you 5 bars of chocolate
Good album in my opinion, better than Pressure IMO but both still very catchy to me. I can see why you wouldn’t like it tho
I get that you didn’t like it but you were very clearly jamming to it the whole time 🤷🏼♂️
Its funny to me, because after listening to all the wage war albums, i think this is my favorite album but thats just me.
Is it just me, or is Death roll just Behold the Crown by After the Burial. I like it, but they are basically the same riff.
Actually I really like this album more than their past records. I love all the choruses, and they still know how to be heavy
Death Roll is nuts and out of no where so good! Great album as well!
Not everyone likes generic metalcore, and there's nothing wrong with that! I thought it was super strong but can respect your opinion
As a new viewer I appreciate you commentary on the album...Gets me to see a different perspective. I kept my expectations in check for this album and went in expecting something similar to Pressure and I feel personally I was pleasantly surprised. After 3 listens through I would easily give this album at least a 9 in my opinion.
New asking Alexandria album with some rawrs
We Butter The Bread With Butter - Das Album!
I actually really enjoy this album. I take it for what it is, a modern metalcore album. For me its like a cool blend of the old and new era of this band. Death roll S.L.A.P.S tho.
But my mannnn, pleasssseeeeee do an album reaction of Das Album from wbtbwb!! This one is insaneeeeee start to finish.
Manic and death roll had me full stank face and I love it
Death Roll riffs sounds like Phinehas
I first heard of this band while listening to octane radio
Death roll is heavy.......buuuuutttttt.....it's sooooo nasty.
Sounds like if you forced an AI to listen to wage war and make an album
"Breakdown city" throughout this entire record, and I've said it before, but as predictable as their song structure is in songs this entire record is a step up from "Pressure". Plus, "Death Roll" in my opinion is their heaviest track to date. Awesome job WW!!!
Yo check out WBTBWB Mans not hot (metal cover) !!
bro you might want to check out Dogma - Blood Youth, or the entire album this is on
based on a lot of these comments it seems like if you werent a long time fan of this band this album is more likeable- def feels that way for me because i love it and this is my first introduction to the band
Cant tell but I feel like I hear Jeremy Mckinnon in Death Roll
Opinions are Opinions my guy. It's OK that it's not your cup of tea. I personally think this is their best album.
Really?? Better than blueprints or deadweight?
This album blew my fucking mind!
