How would you rate this song?
The River to a puddle
4/10.
Just so fucking far from what they can do creatively, and it appears we’ve reached the point where they’re making radio rock.
This song isn’t even mid. Just bad, easy, octanecore, pandercore. Overall 3/10. Also… BLUEPRINTS!!
As a butt rock/octane core guy, I also enjoy super heavy songs as well. I just find it moronic to see people say that Bad Omens, BMTH, Architects are all just evolving. But when Wage War does it, it’s garbage. I loved the song
Here’s the way I see it. Is this a radio friendly song? The answer is yes. Does it appeal to all people? No. But does that mean they’ve lost their sound or they’ve gone to entirely mainstream? NO. This is not a bad song, I think the haters that are hating it are the ones that always listen to the slipknot Iowa album And think that’s where metal peaked.
Need to check out The Cost
Favorite will always be Alive! These guys came out of nowhere in 2015 with one of the best metalcore songs I've ever heard. They haven't topped it for me yet. There are some great songs on every album except Pressure. (Just don't vibe with anything on it.)
My Grave Is Mine To Dig.
Eighteen visions burned us alive around the 2:13 of that song is almost exactly the same riff age after the breakdown so 18v did it almost 18 yrs ago
Greyhaven's new song is a banger
very simple, but kinda catchy
Kingdom of giants vibes
should be called wageback lol
The thing is its not because its soft or raidio friendly as to why its bad because their softer songs in the past have been good but this is just shit
Song is absolutely mid as hell.
Relapse
This song is not horrible but it really doesn’t do anything for me. I have no issues with bands making radio rock songs at all but this song is a bit disjointed. I actually enjoy each part individually but the breakdown is super out of place and some parts just don’t transition to the next very well. I don’t hate the song but it’s nothing I would come back to that often.
Edit: I forgot to answer the question but I would honestly go with Manic. I love the combination of the heavy riff and the almost trap verses.
God this is the epitome of boring.
This song is just very weak to me, I expect more from them but at the same time I get this move for their career. They’re trying to grow and I respect that. I will always love and support them but this song is far from my favorite they’ve put out
Bad for a nickelback song
Worse for any other bands song
Favorite track would mostly be True Colors for new track and The River for older track
It's a ok song. Not everything has to be heavy but its for me a boring song compared with "Circle The Drain" wich i like more.
My favorite part overall was the intro until the chorus beside that was just mid.
The Breakdown was kinda unnecessary.
At the end I still like it but not enough to be one of their best songs.
6/10
I accepted it would be an "octanecore" song pretty quickly, and was fine with it from that angle, but man that breakdown is so forced to try and say "We're still metalcore" but at the same time, felt like pandering. It was a 7.5 ish song before the breakdown, like wasn't horrendous, I like a catchy chorus in my 'metalcore' every so often, but man that breakdown sticks out real hard.
Go see it live. I bet it will be 20x better
An absolute bop, solid 8/10. ERRA does this a bit better, but a good effort nonetheless.
That’s an excellent hook. This is like a “later album cycle” ADTR.
brah this song is super forgettable. Does nothing for me. I heard songs like this a million times before
Good on you for being honest. Imo you could even me more brash about it. If a song in your opinion sucks ass then just say it
I personally love it. I don’t care if they’re writing metalcore, heavy metal. Pop rock, Octanecore, Accoustic they’re just unreal
The album blueprints is still amazing top tier metalcore
5.5/10. Its ok. But I know Wage War can do better.
