bt88 Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Seriously, fuck Pitchfork. I am so sick of that bullshit hipster contrarian site:http://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/20339-sol-invictus/She criticizes FNM for not changing enough. Literally every record they have sounds different. Same here. Also calls the first and last tracks "negligible." Theyre atmospheric. This same reviewer gave Goatwhore, YOB and Boris high scores and they've been doing the same things sonically for years. They basically approach metal and hard rock like the old dinosaurs do. "I like my metal this way and thats that."Good thing this review is the outlier for the most part. Mostly positive across the board. Sorry that got a little angry, I just really can't stand Pitchfork and will not be reading them from here on out, 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black Sabbath Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 I wonder if they recorded that show for a future release. Seems the camera work is pretty well done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry that got a little angry, I just really can't stand Pitchfork and will not be reading them from here on out, 6/10 seems about average, and what I'd give it too; there's really nothing interesting or ground-breaking on it, just more of the same safe formula to keep the fans interestedThis review is spot-on also:https://youtu.be/RkU0mRFQ2AI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Sabbath Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 I don't think it's the same formula though I give it a 9/10, only because I'm not a huge fan of Black Friday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drtydane Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Id give it a 7-8. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Sabbath Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 10 shows were video recorded in full (one of them being my Philly show). I don't usually collect bootlegs anymore unless they're shows I've been to or my favorite bands, so I ripped the 10 shows recorded from YouTube and made artwork for them. Going to make my own DVDs for them this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chewbacca Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Gonna grab the album once I get a chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
realpoti Posted May 20, 2015 Author Share Posted May 20, 2015 I give it a 9/10 also. In love with Sunny Side Up for a few days now. It's eating me alive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasted Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 It's definitely the same elements but realised better on certain tracks. Actually think Sol Invictus and Back from Dead are pretty important tracks. Motherfucker isn't really like much they've done before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J Dog Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 8. Might move up to 8.5 or 9 depending on replay value later on.I honestly think it sounds just as fresh as anything out there right now. And that's saying something for a band that hasn't made an album in almost 20 years and totally missed the whole internet/digital transition.

J Dog Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 http://www.spin.com/2015/05/review-faith-no-more-sol-invictus/This fucking reviewer :lol: Wow. I have to say that's terrible review. And not just because I don't agree with the rating (even though 4/10 is ridiculous). That was just a poorly written review. And it sounds like the guy hates Patton and his "breadth of his (lack of) taste". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasted Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 Also, it's Gould and Roddy's band and they wrote most of the songs on Sol Invictus? It's just a FNM album. If you didn't like the old stuff you're not going to like it. Not sure where all these other bands he's talking about though, it's a wasteland in Rockville right now.

Brunzopolis Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 Thank christ for FNM. I love this album.The first couple of listens through, I was wishing there was more guitar. You get the sense Gould and Bottom wrote the whole thing.I've probably listened to Sunny Side Up, Separation Anxiety and Cone of Shame about 50 times each today.To me, Superhero is one of the weaker tracks. Don't get why it's the single. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasted Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 I think it's that piano interlude. It's very King for a Day updated. Wash it away is a Evidence lyric? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Drama Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 Piano reminds you of King For A Day? Still living up to your name I see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasted Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 No, that the reason it's a single it's kind reminder of Epic in a way. But the rest of it is King for a day, the rabid dog vocals. Sort of Gentle art of making Enemies. But it seems to have war theme.It seems to be about how guys get hyped to to go, go, go to war. And get all amped up like super soldiers. And as an incentive they are asked will they one day to be a leader. That's my wasted interpretation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

realpoti Posted May 27, 2015 Author Share Posted May 27, 2015 (edited) Can anyone recommend a good source for FNM live bootlegs? edit: ..and any specific legendary-esque shows?ftp://ftp.bunglefever.com/pub/Faith%20No%20More/Audio/I would recommend to you Download 2009, Optimus 2010, La Gala 2009, SWU 2011. From the old days: Phoenix Festival 1993, Student Island 1997, Rock In Rio 1991, Monsters of Rock 1995, Tokyo 1997, The Forum 1995. Those are in good quality.At Maquinaria 2011 they played KFAD in its entirety with Trey Spruance, but there's no proshot: Edited May 27, 2015 by realpoti 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeppelin Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 I'm not a huge FNM fan by any means, but this album is a breath of fresh air for me. I'm enjoying it a ton right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm enjoying it a ton right now.I was gonna ask you in the last album you listened to thread about your thoughts. Agreed.That's my problem with reviews like SPIN, with all the crap music going around, why try and hold down a band who is different from the norm. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
