Converge "No Heroes" - October 24th[views:7905][posts:19]_________________________________________________ [Aug 13,2006 1:21pm - the_taste_of_cigarettes ""] From Epitaph: Converge’s new full-length album No Heroes will hit stores everywhere on Oct. 24. A masterpiece of raw emotion and adrenaline frenzy, No Heroes brilliantly combines the textural sonics of You Fail Me with the brutal assault of Jane Doe.

In the mean time, feel the weight of Jake Bannon's visual genius. 01. Heartache 02. Hellbound 03. Sacrifice 04. Vengeance 05. Weight Of The World 06. No Heroes 07. Plagues 08.

I loved them for years, but now I'm finding they're more and more the exact same design concept over and over again... I'm burnt on his new style. I liked what he was doing for Until Your Heart Stops (Cave In) and When Forever Comes Crashing and Petitioning... but the last 3 album designs, plus some stuff I saw in his portfolio for Doomriders and stuff, I'm bored with it now. His lyrics are continuously unbelievable though. Check this from You Fail Me: you are nothing more than dying royalty you are nothing more than a fading drama queen your spelling errors in love letters just stole your crown you are nothing more than late night fantasy you are nothing more than a rehearsed tragedy your spelling errors in love letters just killed your dream just killed you you are nothing more than a dim lit whore you are nothing more than a crashing bore in your blood paid you chase a shadow that will fade out as pain i keep paying when you keep taking please stop running and just start living me without you i have learned to live without your light that burned so bright you are half the heart and half the will hanging moon haunting you hanging moon be my light in this world of darkness |

When Forever Comes Crashing is by far my favorite disc. My problem was that I could figure out TOO MAN lyrics on the more recent CDs, whereas on past ones I'm pretty sure he was lying that he was saying any of the lyrics, especially live when he would just spit out sounds and shake his head. I'm all for vocals that are like fits. |
| _____________________________________________ [Aug 14,2006 8:31am - DrinkHardThrashHard ""] I actually like the last two records better than their older stuff, except the very first record. |
| _________________________________ [Aug 14,2006 9:18am - soloman ""] "When Forever Comes Crashing" is my favorite of theirs too. |
| _________________________________ [Aug 14,2006 10:15am - xmikex ""] all the converge art is starting to blend together. the best 2 converge albums hands down - Petitioning the Empty Sky, Caring & Killing. Yes, I count Caring & Killing instead of the demo, and the Halo in a Haystack record because it's impossible to find, I don't have the time and money to hunt it down, and it just makes more sense to listen to it all on one album. |
| ________________________________ [Aug 14,2006 10:29am - Murph ""] I need you to be the strength of widows and soul survivors I need you to be as fearless as new mothers and new fathers I need you to be the hope of hearts who lost true love I need you to be the might of their first kiss I need a purpose and i need a reason I need to know that there is trophy and meaning to all that we lose and all we fight for to all our loves and our wars keep breathing keep living keep searching keep pushing on keep bleeding keep healing keep fading keep shining on this is for the hearts still beating "Last Light" to me just might be the most uplifting song I've ever heard and lyrically encountered. |

| ______________________________ [Aug 14,2006 11:24am - mOe ""] i'm not TOO into Converge, but When Forever Comes Crashing is a kick ass CD |

| ____________________________________ [Oct 7,2006 8:18pm - xanonymousx ""] converge is a moving band |
| ____________________________________ [Oct 8,2006 11:55pm - anonymous ""] This cd is fantastic. I just got it today. I can't wait till I get the hard copy of it and everything. Converge is my favorite band. Anyone that has anything bad to say about them is just afraid. You can't handle the real shit. |
