I never know what to think about ADTR. It's a mix of pop punk and metalcore that I never know how to feel about. I've heard one song from the new album and it was okay but don't think it compared to their older albums. I'll give the full thing a listen later though

I honestly might like this album more than Homesick. This album has everything I love about ADTR, and I love that there's more heavy songs on this album. Common Courtesy was great, but it lacked a lot of heaviness that albums like Homesick and For Those Who Have Hearts had. This album brings back that heaviness.

I used to love ADTR. Like I'm talking #1 favorite band for years. I know every word of every song of every album through What Separates Me From You. Now I did listen to Common Courtesy quite a bit. I can't complain, it was nice to have a new album from them. I'll never forget anxiously watching that countdown to hear the new song. They will always be remembered by me as THE band that got me through tons of tough times in my teenage years, but it just seems like post-WSMFY (and even a bit on that album) that they figured out what worked/what made the most money/made the fans happy... and stuck with it. Homesick absolutely KILLED it. That album is one of the best of its genre. I think after that they realized they could be a band forever if they stuck to the same old. I don't know. A lot of people bash a band for changing... but I love it. Anybody into Turnover or Bring Me The Horizon? Or even TDWP. Those bands all have evolved and and done so many things with their music. Don't get me wrong, so has ADTR. But I just think they've reached a point where they're just pushing out albums "just cuz", ya know? I mean the music is still great, they are still killing it. Still the same old ADTR. But that's just it. This is the third album where I've just kinda been like, "Hmmm this sounds familiar..." Please don't take this as a hate post. These guys are near and dear to my heart and I'll never forget crying the first time I got to see them live. I just miss the rush of emotions and chills I'd get listening to a new ADTR song and wondering... "Dang, where did this come from!?"

I'm going to have to give it a listen.

Thanks for the share.

Bad Vibrations is such a solid album! By far my favorite album! I love "Turn Off The Radio" and "Exposed".

I understand where you're coming from. I feel they sorta went back to there roots with more of a heavier sound tbh. But I mean it isn't a bad change. Personally I like BMTH's new sound, but prefer there first album. Same with TDWP.
