Yeah, the genre has become nearly universally derided, but this doesn't give fans an excuse to pretend the Converge and other bands in the genre are anything but metalcore.
It's a genius album, incredibly emotional, cathartic, and, immersive. If you don't care for it that's fine, but to say that it's poorly conceived and executed just makes you look like petty. Like the way an old metalhead would look dissing on Wilco or Elliot Smith for being pussy music.
