amazing album. I want to listen to it again and again. The songs are easy to remember and after 2-3 times you are already singing along. I liked that it doesn’t have classic metalcore, but rather has the dark vibe of bands of 90s
I really dig this album. It has a weird twist of older and new experimental stuff. Echo feels like the heavier vocal based and this feels more about an uplifting sort of ethereal feeling
The album didn’t grab me on first listen and didn’t meet my expectations, but I was half asleep when listening. But I’m in love with it now after 3 or 4 listens
Echo I love how mello the vocals on this record are, that alone gives this record its own identity in their catalog. Another solid basic metalcore record for causal listening 🌟 Indigo is easily my favorite.
I love this album. I may even rate this higher than Echo. They didn’t need another stupid heavy album (I love stupid heavy don’t get me wrong) and the softer more exploration take in their sound this time around had me like WOW throughout this entire album i fucking love this album!!!!
The Flood remains as one of my top favorite albums to this day, the sheer heaviness and emotion put into each song is just breathtaking. As for this album, Eternal Pessimist and Enraptured were pleasant surprises. Into The Sun is my favorite non single, and Indigo is probably my favorite of the singles after listening how it fits in the album overall.
I've always been listening on and off to mice and men even long before i started actively listening to metal, but i gotta say what really got me invested in them again was levee and pulling teeth. Has a special place in my mind for some reason, just love the slow rainy build up start going right into the agression on levee.
My favorite albums were the two firsts albums when Shayley was still in the band. But not gonna lie this new album is the best work they’ve put out since then. Amazing, absolutely amazing 🔥❤️
I will be honest I wasn't really sure what to expect with this album but man have I grown to love this album. The whole album is this fantastic introspective and supportive theme. Just a great all around album and love the lyrics and sonics.
Honestly I LOVED this album. It was different then the last couple of albums. And it gives me restoring force vibes and that is my favorite album from there. Aaron’s voice sounds soo good. Love the melodic nature of the music!
I completely agree with everything you said. Into The Sun, Tether and Zephyros I thought were particularly good. Also is it just me or does the ambience sometimes sound like Invent Animate almost
it's probably echo. I love echo a lot, Tether is too fresh for me to know if I love it more than echo but I like both of these albums a lot. edit: ik I made the comment like a day ago lol but I actually already love this album so much, like you said it has a contrast with the chill vocals and heavy instrumentals and tbh I love that so much, I love the chill atmosphere it's so good. edit 2. Welp this is now my favorite album, I love all the songs so much, they feel so chill and/or emotional. love the whole atmosphere of this album. I also like the balance, echo was very heavy but it still had a balance of screams and cleans, this album leans into the cleans more and still love it. very beautiful album. tether, Zephyros and indigo are especially my favorite but everything else is good as well.
I love this album Indigo the chorus is amazing and so are the vocal variance.. the heaviness of Eternal Pessimist and Enraptured.. then my favourite “Into the Sun” … No, it’s not my favourite of theirs.. but I still love most of the songs and have been listening to them on repeat!!
So after about a billion listens of this album front to back, I can confidently say it's my favorite album Of Mice and Men have done and possibly my AOTY. It's not crazy or different but it doesn't need to be. It sounds unique enough for it to be an OM&M album and enough to sound different for them and it works so well.
А меня совсем не зацепило, возможно стоит дать ему ещё один шанс, но пока для меня довольно слабо, хотя не удивительно, ему приходится соревноваться с такими крутыми альбомами в этом году 🤘😅
I would say Restoring Force since that got me into metalcore But on this album I really love the contrast and Aaron’s voice is incredible for the feels on this. I really like this album for what it is even tho people hate OM&M now
My all time favorite is the flood and can’t be topped but for Aaron’s Era I’d say Echo but to me all their albums are amazing especially Cold World, it’s definitely a black sheep but super solid and experimental
Honestly my reaction is mixed with this one; I *really* don’t like Indigo or Integration, but I love how most of the album feels like a continuation of Echo. Especially with Eternal Pessimist sounding like Obsolete 2.0 and Into The Sun being the younger brother of Fighting Gravity mixed with some of their older stuff ❤
The Flood introduced me to the band, and was always my fav, but I recently rediscovered Echo and now I don't really have an answer. The third album, must be a really close contender for #1 too, Restoring Force. I feel as if this album is a straight continuation to Echo, a really good albumz gotta listen to it more.
After this highlight video, I may go check out this album even though I didn't plan. The singles were rather uninspiring for me. But I can see how it's an 8 👌
Sadly, this is the first album of OM&M where I don't like anything that much (aside from Warpaint and Castaway, mostly). Thought I was maybe crazy, but the majority seems to echo (no pun intended) that. I'm happy if Aaron is just experimenting right now, though and from what I know, the lyrics are really deep on this one again also, despite it not seeming like that on first glance. In any case, my absolute favorite album from them is probably Echo, closely followed or tied with Restoring Force (Deluxe)
AOTY with sylosis new album Also ECHO album is one of the best metalcore albums in all time + and he's my AOTY 2021 and I can easily say that OM&M is the best Metalcore album in all time and its my fav band of all time
Actually really enjoyed this album even though it's much the same! I also feel like the album artwork is too similar to echo visually (which feels like it has connotations of being b-sides).
Bogdan.. BOGDAN, listen closely.. I think "Into the Sun" and "Castaway" might make my top 50 songs of the year. Will it make yours? This year has been INSANE THO
I agree with your take. It's not as good as Echo but I do appreciate that they're exploring and trying something different instead. Not AOTY quality but there are definitely some tracks going in my playlist.
In my opinion if you look up average in the dictionary you’d see this album cover. I don’t hate it, but apart from a few songs it felt very meh. 7.5/10 for me. My favorite album from them is either Restoring Force or the Flood, can’t really pick between those two.
They've never made a bad album. But this I have to say ranks last for me. I feel like the guitar and especially drums try REALLY hard to fill the void that each song has. But I do enjoy the overall theme of the album and it's very consistent. Into the Sun and Indigo are the highlights
Update** - did not love the second half of the album and will pass overall from repeat listens. Eternal Pessimist is my fav song from the first half. Still need to listen to the last few.
Restoring Force for me! I know it was a departure but I thought it was a great record. This band has admittedly lost my interest every album, but at least they’re still going for it, good for them.
I felt this album was very boring compared to everything else. I appreciate what they tried to do but every song feels the same. And none had a special moment. Imo
Personally this album didn't do it for me. At the very least compared to Echo which is pretty much a no-skip album, this one feels a bit underwhelming. Not bad by any means but it's just not connecting with me. Also, the mix on this album sounds a little odd to me. Props to Aaron doing all the production and mixing on this album and on Echo, but even compared to Echo this album's production feels a bit lacking.
![I.N "HALLUCINATION" | [Stray Kids : SKZ-PLAYER]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/n5B5q1Hwt_U/mqdefault.jpg)
This album felt like a softer sound to echo but it has alot of experimentation
Echo had some really meh songs but all songs from Tether I think they are bangerz
I'll have to disagree their Echo was definitely the superior album this one felt to safe imo
the album has an extremely ambient atmosphere and i think it totally works
This album is very poor. Their worst so far imo.
@@RG_Adapt I don't think it's their worst, I like some of the songs on this record, the vibe just doesn't sit with me.
amazing album. I want to listen to it again and again. The songs are easy to remember and after 2-3 times you are already singing along. I liked that it doesn’t have classic metalcore, but rather has the dark vibe of bands of 90s
I really dig this album. It has a weird twist of older and new experimental stuff.
Echo feels like the heavier vocal based and this feels more about an uplifting sort of ethereal feeling
bogdan, your analysis about this album was perfect, i feel the same way. it seems like a exploration of the sound we find in fighting gravity.
The album didn’t grab me on first listen and didn’t meet my expectations, but I was half asleep when listening. But I’m in love with it now after 3 or 4 listens
Echo
I love how mello the vocals on this record are, that alone gives this record its own identity in their catalog. Another solid basic metalcore record for causal listening 🌟
Indigo is easily my favorite.
I love this album. I may even rate this higher than Echo. They didn’t need another stupid heavy album (I love stupid heavy don’t get me wrong) and the softer more exploration take in their sound this time around had me like WOW throughout this entire album i fucking love this album!!!!
LOVE LOVE this album "enraptured" might be my favorite song of 2023
The Flood remains as one of my top favorite albums to this day, the sheer heaviness and emotion put into each song is just breathtaking. As for this album, Eternal Pessimist and Enraptured were pleasant surprises. Into The Sun is my favorite non single, and Indigo is probably my favorite of the singles after listening how it fits in the album overall.
Been having mainly Enraptured on repeat, then it was Integration, and I can see myself having Into the sun on repeat all month long.
I've always been listening on and off to mice and men even long before i started actively listening to metal, but i gotta say what really got me invested in them again was levee and pulling teeth. Has a special place in my mind for some reason, just love the slow rainy build up start going right into the agression on levee.
My favorite albums were the two firsts albums when Shayley was still in the band.
But not gonna lie this new album is the best work they’ve put out since then. Amazing, absolutely amazing 🔥❤️
Been listening to Indigo on repeat. Into The Sun close 2nd. Love it overall
I really was happy to see this band experiment further.
I will be honest I wasn't really sure what to expect with this album but man have I grown to love this album. The whole album is this fantastic introspective and supportive theme. Just a great all around album and love the lyrics and sonics.
Honestly I LOVED this album. It was different then the last couple of albums. And it gives me restoring force vibes and that is my favorite album from there. Aaron’s voice sounds soo good. Love the melodic nature of the music!
This album was amazing, nothing crazy sound wise yet still delivers so well. Love the experimental aspects and nuances they incorporated.
It's not better than Echo, but I've seen many bands fuck up this sound so hard that It's very cool to see someone get It right.
I honestly wasn’t hype for the album but after listening they brought the heat. Definitely one of my favorites for this year.
This record was really different than what theyve made before, loved it
(Also, my favorite record is Restoring Force by far, if not, also Echo)
I really enjoy their change into those heavy vibe rythms. Nothing shiney but instead a well written constant atmosphere
Love this album 💪💪💪 very experimental
also new Paledusk and Vildhjarta
I completely agree with everything you said. Into The Sun, Tether and Zephyros I thought were particularly good.
Also is it just me or does the ambience sometimes sound like Invent Animate almost
Juicing the algo. Much love!
Thanks man to reaction new album Of Mice & Men Tether 🤘🏼🔥
alot of people overlooked this album and hated it but i loved it so much, Cold World
They've been making very solid and vibey albums these last few years. Really love their sound.
Yup regarding the drummer. Heard he had a lot of fun with the record's drumming
it's probably echo. I love echo a lot, Tether is too fresh for me to know if I love it more than echo but I like both of these albums a lot.
edit: ik I made the comment like a day ago lol but I actually already love this album so much, like you said it has a contrast with the chill vocals and heavy instrumentals and tbh I love that so much, I love the chill atmosphere it's so good.

I love this album
Indigo the chorus is amazing and so are the vocal variance.. the heaviness of Eternal Pessimist and Enraptured.. then my favourite “Into the Sun” …
No, it’s not my favourite of theirs.. but I still love most of the songs and have been listening to them on repeat!!
To me this album feels like the proper follow up to Defy if you think of the new albums in pairs
Their co-headlining with Bullet For My Valentine Friday, can’t wait!!
There’s something about this album that gives me that mid to late 2010’s metalcore nostalgia. Honestly surprised how much I like it
OfM&M are really good at keeping their core sound while not making the same record twice.
I couldnt get into them before so I dont have my fav album, but this one is really good
I'll have to go with Echo as my favourite album as well, peak "new" OM&M
Same here :)
So after about a billion listens of this album front to back, I can confidently say it's my favorite album Of Mice and Men have done and possibly my AOTY. It's not crazy or different but it doesn't need to be. It sounds unique enough for it to be an OM&M album and enough to sound different for them and it works so well.
Echo and this record are like Holy hell and For Those that wish to exist.
bro , please made a reaction about the new SYLOSIS album
a sign of things to come
А меня совсем не зацепило, возможно стоит дать ему ещё один шанс, но пока для меня довольно слабо, хотя не удивительно, ему приходится соревноваться с такими крутыми альбомами в этом году 🤘😅
I would say Restoring Force since that got me into metalcore
But on this album I really love the contrast and Aaron’s voice is incredible for the feels on this. I really like this album for what it is even tho people hate OM&M now
My favourite album from OM&M is Restoring Forces (especially deluxe edition) and the flood easily
My favorite album by them I think is Defy.. I listen to Forever YDG'n and Vertigo so much, absolute staples in their arsenal.
I cant wait to see them with Bullet for My Valentine on Friday! My favorite from them would definitely go to The Flood or Defy
My all time favorite is the flood and can’t be topped but for Aaron’s Era I’d say Echo but to me all their albums are amazing especially Cold World, it’s definitely a black sheep but super solid and experimental
Restoring Force because "Another You" is an all-time for me personally.
Honestly my reaction is mixed with this one; I *really* don’t like Indigo or Integration, but I love how most of the album feels like a continuation of Echo. Especially with Eternal Pessimist sounding like Obsolete 2.0 and Into The Sun being the younger brother of Fighting Gravity mixed with some of their older stuff ❤

After this highlight video, I may go check out this album even though I didn't plan. The singles were rather uninspiring for me. But I can see how it's an 8 👌
I’d have to go with The Flood. It was the first om&m album I listened to and I never get tired of listening to it 🤘
fav omam album is earth & sky
Sadly, this is the first album of OM&M where I don't like anything that much (aside from Warpaint and Castaway, mostly). Thought I was maybe crazy, but the majority seems to echo (no pun intended) that. I'm happy if Aaron is just experimenting right now, though and from what I know, the lyrics are really deep on this one again also, despite it not seeming like that on first glance.
In any case, my absolute favorite album from them is probably Echo, closely followed or tied with Restoring Force (Deluxe)
Echo by far is my favorite
AOTY
with sylosis new album
Also ECHO album is one of the best metalcore albums in all time + and he's my AOTY 2021
and I can easily say that OM&M is the best Metalcore album in all time
and its my fav band of all time
Actually really enjoyed this album even though it's much the same! I also feel like the album artwork is too similar to echo visually (which feels like it has connotations of being b-sides).
Bogdan.. BOGDAN, listen closely.. I think "Into the Sun" and "Castaway" might make my top 50 songs of the year. Will it make yours? This year has been INSANE THO
My favourite om&m album is still Restoring Force
Same alongside Echo
To me its almost better than Echo, simply because there's so much variety and experimentation. Love the album!
I agree with your take. It's not as good as Echo but I do appreciate that they're exploring and trying something different instead. Not AOTY quality but there are definitely some tracks going in my playlist.
The best song on the new album is “Eternal Pessimist” 🤘🏻
Honestly, Echo is still my fav by a mile but Tether is not bad
edit: I have listened a few more and NOW I kinda love it. Aaron saved this band.
Everyone else is hating on Indigo, So glad you loved it also.
The Flood is the best hands down
Huh, that was actually really good.
In my opinion if you look up average in the dictionary you’d see this album cover. I don’t hate it, but apart from a few songs it felt very meh. 7.5/10 for me. My favorite album from them is either Restoring Force or the Flood, can’t really pick between those two.
Very good album. With Aaron leadering, is the best album. My favorite still remais Restoring Force.
Echo is my favorite
Love the instrumentals on this album.
Tito is my favorite drummer ♥️
Last edit(made in jan 2024) This is my AOTY2023
They've never made a bad album. But this I have to say ranks last for me. I feel like the guitar and especially drums try REALLY hard to fill the void that each song has. But I do enjoy the overall theme of the album and it's very consistent. Into the Sun and Indigo are the highlights
For me, OM&M never miss. I'd say Restoring Force: Full Circle is probably my favorite, but there is no bad album for me. One of my favorite bands! 🤘
The Flood.
easy AOTY contender. so happy this album is out now.
Felt okay to me. Doesn't really offend, but doesn't really bring anything special. I personally somwhat enjoyed Warpaint and Castaway.
Restoring Force; peak OM&M
BEST ALBUM OF THE YEAR IS POLARIS 🤘🏼
Might be
What else is coming out that is a contender? You might be right.
Bruh moment
Gonna be a toss up between that, heavener, and silent planet probably.
It’s TMBTE by Sleep Token for me
Update** - did not love the second half of the album and will pass overall from repeat listens.
Eternal Pessimist is my fav song from the first half. Still need to listen to the last few.
Tesseract!?!?!!????!?!?!!
Still the The Flood for me
Restoring Force for me! I know it was a departure but I thought it was a great record. This band has admittedly lost my interest every album, but at least they’re still going for it, good for them.
I felt this album was very boring compared to everything else. I appreciate what they tried to do but every song feels the same. And none had a special moment. Imo
The flood....hands down not even fucking close......this album took a few spins to sound great ......was disappointing at first....now i love it
EarthandSky was their best album
is it just me or do i here Tool influences
i cant really get into it sadly, kinda boring to me
Well it bored the hell out of me
Personally this album didn't do it for me. At the very least compared to Echo which is pretty much a no-skip album, this one feels a bit underwhelming. Not bad by any means but it's just not connecting with me. Also, the mix on this album sounds a little odd to me. Props to Aaron doing all the production and mixing on this album and on Echo, but even compared to Echo this album's production feels a bit lacking.
The album is decent. My least favorite.
My biggest problem with OMM is that a lot their stuff sounds the same now. You heard one song you heard quite a few of them
You missed such a good album with War of Ages. Are all you reviewers against listening to some Christian metalcore or something?
dont cry mate
here's a link to bogdan reacting to christian metal: ruclips.net/video/hQ0x5puCIDs/видео.html
I'd say it's the worst album they've done since Aaron took over, doesn't mean it's bad they're just capable of so much more.
Thanks man to reaction new album Of Mice & Men Tether 🤘🏼🔥
