Well I guess it's the song I just posted on another thread. Honestly I'm surprised this thread doesn't already exist.

The aesthetics of music like that compromise the pop elements to the point that it feels like the people involved don't really know what they're doing. The bargain basement growler in that song should be shot in the head. Why is he even there except to fit genre stereotypes?

I actually think it's a pretty well made pop-metal tune.

It feels like someone sucessfully combined the Crusader: No Regret soundtrack with modern melodic metal tropes and Abba.

The growler isn't exactly what makes it work, so that's that.



I'm still not sure what I think of the band as a whole, but this song has won me over. I used to hate the band, actually, but old school metal neckbeards are ****ting on the band so often I thought they must be doing something right.

Modern melodic metal tropes are the problem. They're ****. They're pop music tropes coming from a tradition that has issues with pop music tropes and so can't truly reconcile what they're going for with the history that produced their sound in the first place.

Maybe you and everyone else in here need to stop kissing 80's metal's ass and get with the times, maaaan.



So what do you think about Leprous?

Should 80s alt rock fans have "gotten with the times" and embraced Pearl Jam?

They should have given 90's alt a legit chance, yes.

I gave your **** a chance years ago. I liked a bit of it, still thought the aesthetics were cringy even in the best cases, and dismissed the majority of it as aesthetically incompetent. There are good songs buried in some of that ****, but Jesus Christ do most of those bands not know what they're doing or at least are unwilling to break away from their niche fanbase.
