I apologize for my previous statement "gross" but im just very frustrated about this new album. the singing is scrathcy and the lyrics are EMO.
Metal singing is rough, scratchy, raw (just like metal itself). It can be high and clean, or growled and shrieked too.
As for the lyrics, the only one that could be remotely similar to "emo" is "I Refuse".
hearing this come from such a great band really threw me off. When i first heard the songs "purgatory time" and "Jack the Knife" i couldnt even tell that it was falconer because it was so much different.
Both songs are very power / traditional metal-like, I fail to see where the supposed emo connection is.
What ever happened to songs like "the clarion call" or "Substitutional world"? I really hope you guys can make a new album that brings you back from the world of EMO metal
Those songs are on their respective albums. And the band is nowehere near being 'emo', which leads me to believe you just learned about the term and try to use it without checking if it fits the bill first.
It's frustrating to see how the majority of people are unable to judge music on its own terms, but based on what they 'expect' it to sound like.
