Rating: The entire alternative music industry often resembles a chicken coop where among the many hens there is a proud and seemingly unbeatable rooster, and Bring Me the Horizon are the epitome of this likeness. A band that has quite taken advantage of the current situation in the international music scene, delivering to those too focused on predictable bands and banal releases, a fundamentally evil sound.
With this album, the band adds to the brutalcore of the previous album "Count Your Blessings" a more metalcore influence (I tried to find synonyms, but I couldn't...), with interludes featuring synth and electronic beats. We are presented with dizzying breakdowns, desperate screams, and riffs as melodic as they are evil. The mood shifts to atmospheres more emocore (Sadness Will Never End, Suicide Season) to shock us with more extreme and brutal tracks (No Need For Introductions I Read About Girls Like You on the Backs of Toilet Doors, Diamonds Aren't Forever, Football Season is Over) and others more metalcore (Chelsea Smile, The Comedown), I personally love this album, because I found in it influences from many other bands like Aborted, Black Dahlia Murder, and Enter Shikari.
Equipped with a sound as fierce as it is sorrowful and melodic, BMTH have produced a beautiful album, one of the best recent releases from an emerging band, eschewing the banality of other bands and striving to find a solution that could make them recognizable among a thousand other groups, wonderfully succeeding in this endeavor; the new metal and hardcore are encapsulated in here.

02 Chelsea Smile (05:02)
I've got a secret.
It's on the tip of my tongue, it's on the back of my lungs.
And I'm gonna keep it.
I know something you don't know.
It sits in silence, eats away at me.
It feeds like cancer. This guilt could fill a fucking sea.
Pulling teeth, wolves at my door.
Now falling and failing is all I know.
This disease is getting worse.
I counted my blessings, now I'll count this curse.
The only thing I really know: I can't sleep at night.
I'm buried and breathing in regret.
Yeah!
The only thing I really know: I can't sleep at night.
I'm buried and breathing in regret.
I've got a secret.
It's on the tip of my tongue, it's on the back of my lungs.
And I'm gonna keep it.
I know something you don't know.
I've got a secret.
It's on the tip of my tongue, it's on the back of my lungs.
And I'm gonna keep it.
I know something you don't know.
I may look happy, but honestly dear,
the only way I'll really smile is if you cut me ear to ear.
I see the vultures, they watch me bleed.
They lick their lips, as all the shame spills out of me.
Repent! Repent! The end is nigh!
Repent! Repent! We're all gonna die!
Repent! Repent! These secrets will kill us!
So get on your knees, and pray for...
Repent! Repent! The end is nigh!
Repent! Repent! We're all gonna die!
Repent! Repent! These secrets will kill us!
So get on your knees, and pray for forgiveness!
We all carry these things inside that no one else can see.
They hold us down like anchors. They drown us out at sea.
I look up to the sky, there may be nothing there to see.
But if I don't believe in him, why would he believe in me?
Why would he believe in me?
Why would he believe in me?
Why would he believe in me?
Why would he believe in me?
Ruh!
I've got a secret.
It's on the tip of my tongue, it's on the back of my lungs.
And I'm gonna keep it.
I know something you don't know.
I've got a secret.
It's on the tip of my tongue, it's on the back of my lungs.
And I'm gonna keep it.
I know something you will never know.
You will never know.
I know something you don't know.
08 The Sadness Will Never End (05:22)
Our legs begin to break
We've walked this path for far too long
My lungs, they start to ache
But still we carry on
I'm choking on my words
Like I got a noose around my neck
I can't believe it's come to this
And dear, I fear
That this ship is sinking tonight
I won't give up on you
These scars won't tear us apart
So don't give up on me
It's not too late for us
And I'll save you from yourself
And I'll save you from yourself
Our legs begin to break
We've walked this path for far too long
My lungs begin to ache
But still we carry on
I'm choking on my words
Like I got a noose around my neck
I'm not coming home tonight
I'm not coming home tonight
'Cause dear I fear, dear I fear
I'm not coming home tonight
I'm not coming home tonight
'Cause dear I fear
This ship is sinking
Is there hope for us?
Can we make it out alive?
I can taste the failure on your lips
Is there hope for us?
Can we make it out alive?
I can taste the failure
Close your eyes
There's nothing we can do
But sleep in this bed that we made for ourselves
You're trapped in your past
Like it's six feet under
I won't give up on you
These scars won't tear us apart
So don't give up on me
It's not too late for us
I'll save you from yourself
I'll save you from yourself
I'll save you from yourself
I'll save you from yourself
Try to numb the pain
With alcohol and pills
But it won't repair your trust
You can't stand on two fucking feet
With a substance as a crutch
I won't give up
I won't give up on you
We'll play this symphony
I won't give up
I won't give up on you
We'll play this symphony of sympathy
I won't give up
I won't give up on you
We'll play this symphony of sympathy
I won't give up
I won't give up on you
We'll play this symphony of sympathy

The screamer...uhm, sorry the singer of the group is a 22-year-old kid, and he’s even vegetarian!!!
It seems that the fact I was listening to Bring Me The Horizon made my mother think that I’m out of it, listening to someone vomiting.
