The first song already has me loving it, their guitarist is so sick.

Theres an mp3 version.

You rock because I was waiting for an mp3 version.

Got this off OiNK a few hours ago, but my speakers aren't working. :( :( :(

Crowquill and swimintheundertow make me smile.

We have that effect on people.

Yes we do, which is awkward sometimes.

I think you mean the musicians of Hot Cross are far more talented than those of Saetia.
I agree with that, but it isn't exactly relevant.
It doesn't have much to do with explaining why you like the band.

Besides, that's why I believe Saetia>>Hot Cross.


Billy Werner is to Dallas Taylor as Saetia is to Underoath.
Saetia just came first, and was much more innovative.
My opinion is not just based on their influence.



Also, thank you for the album!
Youpi.

So the new is one is pretty much more of the same. I'm not complaining but it just sounds like they knew if they experimented while switching label they were would a lot of fuss.

I'm just going to see This Will Destroy You to be honest.

OMFG65DAYSOFSTATIC.

Omg at all except Hot Cross.
Meh to FBTMOF.

But This Will Destroy You and 65 Days Of Static, ahh.

^Yeah that tour's coming through here.. Should I go?

F*ck yes.

Do you even have to ask??

Well...the last time I saw Fear Before the March of F@gs they sucked...played like **** and then said that we were the worst crowd they'd played for on the tour. That was when they were touring with BTBAM and Norma Jean.

...that would be my only reason for hesitation.

This Will Destroy You is sick as hell live.

I really want to see them on tour, so many good bands!

I saw them on that same tour at the recher, UGHH, Fear Before really did suck live. I HATED THEM. The show I went to was one of the most boring I have ever been to. Plus someone stage dove right on top of my f'ing head.

Yeah that ****ing hurts!

On topic, go for This Will Destroy You.
Must.

Speaking of which...the bassist whacked the singer in the face and busted his cheek open with the tuning heads....that was classic. (this is FBTMOF I'm referring to)

My tickets to this came in the mail last week and I freaked a little when it said Fear Before the March of Flames before I realized what it was.

I'll probably see TWDY, 65dos, and Hot Cross and then leave.

Just out of curiosity, is this tour coming to Vancouver?

It doesn't look like it heres the dates though.

Myspace.com

Same here.

Nope, no Vancouver. Lame.

Hotcross are like, ****ing awesome

tho saetia>

I think Saetia>Hot Cross, barely. I really love the technical riffs Hot Cross lays down. That being said, I thought Risk Revival was pretty mediocre, probably because it wasn't as technical and the singing was really poppy in the bad way.

saetia had more influence but as far as song writing goes, hot cross has got em beat pretty bad

Though I think the two are radically different in every way so that to compare the two would be rather pointless, I'd have to say that Hot Cross is immensely superior to Saetia.

Are you guys serious? All Hot Cross songs come across as incredibly forced and generic.

lol generic? who else sounds like them?

The guitar is nothing special, just a bunch of little riffs that are a bit technical but just plain boring. Lyrics are pretentious and the vocals don't fit well into the music. Granted, I find them better than most other "post-hardcore" bands out there, but they're still nothing special. I don't see how you can not get bored by this... you just can't feel any emotion behind it. It feels like they're playing just to play (and it feels that way live, too). I wish it was less technical, because as it is it's far too rigid/structured. I would compare them to The Fall of Troy (not quite so boring as they, though), maybe, or an even less interesting At the Drive-In. I'm sure I could find a number of other bands who remind me of them, but I don't listen to them as I find them boring and emotionless.

By stark contrast, I think that Hot Cross are much more interesting, emotionally charged, and original than Fall of Troy, but all of that is subjective anyway.

Wierd. I don't get that at all from them. Especially live.
