I personally think Wonderful Life is their most underrated song. The horns at the end and how catchy the chorus is, it really deserves more praise. Even Fantano liked it!
Completely agree. A high mark of their career.
agree, wish the horns were actually in MORE of the song to be honest and not just the end. I do get why they made that choice though.
Wonderful life, heavy metal and in the dark are my fav off that album
@@2strokeFORever same. Honestly overall a very good album. Mantra is a good high energy hype song. S.H.I.T is a cool song. Why you gotta kick me is a trippy bass bumper
In The Dark is my favourite song from the album.
I dont think they've ever made a bad album. I'm a fan across the board, heavy or not.
Personally the only album I don’t like at all from them was Count Your Blessings.
@@fakeskuvvwhy don’t you like it? instrumentally it’s very good. Olis highs were the only thing that took me a while to get into.
@@jeux2322 I don’t know, Oli’s highs and the lyrics just aren’t bearable to me, I prefer the newer stuff, especially Kool-Aid, it’s one of my favourite songs of 2024 right next to Curse from Architects!
When I first heard Nihilist Blues I was like “meh” and the thousandth time I heard Nihilist Blues I was like “PARADISE IS IN MY SOULLLL”
One of my favorite bmth songs. Way too underrated
I always felt Nihilist Blues was like something out of Sempiternal but in disguise as an Electro/Synth style song. The intro notes had quite a resemblance to CYFMH and the overall dark sound and vibe of it really gives it away, not to mention the downbeat chord progression on the song and even the lyrics as well. If you try to turn it into a Rock song, you’ll definitely hear some of “Go to Hell, for Heaven’s Sake” in there!
@@AdrienShadow I just realised something similar to this and your comments helped branch out that thought! :). Nihilist Blues really carries that thematic artistry of There is a Hell/Sempiternal BMTH
It's definitely a grower of a song. I also felt that way about Mantra, but not as much
idk why people dislike amo so much; MANTRA, sugar honey iced tea, wonderful life are all bangers and medicine, i don’t know what to say, and in the dark showed how well they can write pop songs
I think it’s because there’s a lot of filler tracks on there
I love amo cover to cover, man. Not a bad song on that album.
mate In The Dark isn't even pop, the whole album is dark and grungey. It's easily in my top 3 albums of their discography, but I think for some people it's a bit too experimental
You listed 4 songs. And not one of those is better than any song on Sempiternal. The rest of the songs on the album are fillers, or just awful. Not the Bring Me we all know and love.
Im really like BMTH but I only like medicine and even then I’ll skip it on rare occasions. I will always respect them for their incredible diverse music but (amo / the more pop sound they make) is not for me. That’s ok because it’d be mental to expect fans to like every kind of music you produce
I'm a dude who's into hardcore and i absolutely loved Amo.
Amo is the kind of album that people would appreciate years after its release. This often happens to every band that has an album that doesn't sound like their usual stuff.
it's a good record, just not a Bring Me record.
I wish they would do more tracks like ' I don't know what to say"
Yeah that's so emotional and beautiful. Personal but grandiose at once.
Amo is a great fuckin album and there needs to be more tracks than just Mantra from it played live. There I said it.
I think Mantra is actually one of the most annoying songs BMTH has ever written lmao. I would love Wonderful Life or a "Rock" version of Nihilist Blues
@@somedogsarecops2354 I think the issue with Mantra is both how similar it is to Happy Song both in style and in function (huge, mid-tempo, arena rock kind of hymn) but how it falls a bit short. Also that, for a leading single, it's so disconnected from the rest of the album. I like Heavy Metal, SHIT, Nihilist and specially In The Dark way more than Mantra
100%, it has so many great tracks! I'm glad I've seen them live during the album cycle, Nihilist Blues live was phenomenal
@@somedogsarecops2354 I wouldn't want rock version.. Nihilist Blues is my fav song they ever dropped
@@somedogsarecops2354 nah a rock version of nihilist blues is already what you have, it’s a rock song with heavy trance overload. And that’s why it’s brilliant it’s a cross between the two and it works because of being that.
Nihilist blues is one of my favorite bmth songs ever
I loved the whole amo record
Mantra
Nihilist Blues
Wonderful Life
Why you gotta kick me when I’m down
I don’t know what to say
I love all there stuff honestly
Amo came out about a month or two before my first daughter was born. I hold the album very close to my heart when I listen to the record.
My favorite song on Amo is In the Dark. Also I love the album personally.
Amo grew on me immensely through the years. I think it's a flawless record from beginning to end now and I do think it's one of their best records. Some of the best albums always take some time to digest, and that's what makes me respect BMTH so much. They're always trying new stuff even when they know they don't need to. They have that creative drive in them as a band that you rarely see anymore. They're even still making music videos that look like they could have been on MTV back in the day - just insane production value.
I loved the Amo cycle, the live shows were amazing and I still think Amo is one of their best albums!
What an incredible interview, Finn! Feel like this is the most Jordan has ever shared
That whole album is really good, I've loved it from day 1. Hope more of their "I just wanna hear yelling" fanbase would appreciate it more. Nihilist Blues is a certified hood classic though, every person I've showed it to has added it to their playlists lol.
Nihilist Blues is a really weird song, but not in a bad way. When the album first came out I definitely liked the song, but songs like Mantra, SHIT etc. were the top songs for me. But then with years passing, looking back, Nihilist Blues is potentially the best song that came out of that album. The vocals, lyrics, synths and especially the build and atmosphere are unlike anything else I'd had heard in music in general. And so the song's held up really well. I also wish peeps would talk about I don't know what to say and I apologise if you feel something more - they are just outright beautiful songs. I love how artsy they are lyrically and musically and in a weird way, now reflecting, it actually brings me back a bit too There is a Hell, Sempiternal BMTH - and I love that.
Amo is basically what Bad Omens sounds like now
i personally think current bad omens sounds more like that's the spirit, but this is an interesting perspective!
Nihilist Blues was absolutely amazing, one of my favorite BMTH songs
Every time Jordan fixes his hair take a shot
Sugar Honey Ice and Tea is such a great song!!
Amo probably my favorite BMTH album. Good song and good track listing make it fun listening front to back
It’s their absolute masterpiece. You can’t tell me otherwise.
But, I do think what he’s saying about them restraining themselves in certain areas is very interesting.
Amo has 8 songs that I will never tire of
Genuinely great to hear this.
Super interesting.
I loved Amo. One of my favorite pop albums
What an interesting interview to revisit after the departure of jordan
I apologize for the long wall of text, figured I'd share my thoughts on the Amo album. I really enjoyed five or six songs out of the entire Amo album (out of the 13 there), and the rest I couldn't get into, those being Wonderful Life, Mantra, Medicine, Sugar Honey Ice & Tea, Ouch, and Heavy Metal (primarily because I like it's combination of synths and heavy metal sounds, despite the lyrics). I can see why others would call the album "mid", and I'd agree with others that there's more misses than hits, but I'm at least appreciative of it's existence because it's a bit more experimental compared to their previous albums. It reminds me of Linkin Park's "Heavy" in a way, I hated it at the time, but it eventually grew on me, and became one of my favorite tracks from them, and recent happenings with a relative of mine passing away and the first time that I listened to that song being in the car on the radio with them, it makes it hit different on an emotional level. But that side tangent aside, that is still a hell of a lot better than other rock or metal bands that have been around for a while, one of the main ones being Three Days Grace on the top of my head (As much as I used to like them, and as much as I found a few of the tracks on Explosions to be good, the rest just doesn't sit right with me). Based on the reaction around the Amo album, and stuff that I've heard about from interviews with Oli around the making of that album, I can see why Jordan Fish and others find that album a bit awkward, and I can't blame them.
And this is coming from someone who recently got into their music proper 2-3 years ago (after the earworm that was the track featured on the Gigachad meme, something which I now feel is hilariously unfitting for the meme considering the context of the song, and being exposed to stuff like Chelsea Smile), I really enjoyed That's The Spirit and Sempiternal and I've listened to those albums on repeat enough times to lose count or drive someone insane (I blame ADHD). I liked some of the tracks on TIAHBISITIAHLKIAS, and Suicide Season, and even found some of the songs that people cite in Count Your Blessings for calling BMTH "cringe" to be campy as fuck, despite the cheese. The way that I see it, one of the big appeals to me when it comes to BMTH is their experimentation and their more front-and-center focus on thought out and profound lyrics. I used to be big into Linkin Park when I was a teen, and I really regret not getting into BMTH's music sooner, they've quickly filled the void that LP left for me.
AMO is an amazing album. It took me a while to give it a true chance after I heard the first single, but I took some LSD and put that album on and it changed my whole perspective about their new music style. I had a bit of a salty taste after the transition from Sempiternal to That's the Spirit and wasn't really excited about the direction. After fully embracing AMO I learned to love That's the Spirit and now it is a flawless album IMO. Looking forward to everything they are doing now.
I bet Nihilistic Blues was great on LSD
Amo they said "if it sounds like Linkin Park, we dont want it" for Post Human they said "Let's make a tribute to Linkin Park"
Amo is amazing the blend of electronics to the melodies they wrote was next level
Amo has really grown on me over the years
I love that they broke away from the chains of a genre they needed too expand and bridge the gap for people to discover either side of the genres
AMO is my favorite album from them! I wish more tracks from it were played live!
Nihilist Blues was a severely underrated song, Amo had some absolute bangers on it
Wonderful life is a great song. Im glad that they made it.🙂
I love Amo. First means “love” in my native language 😂 second, it is a really great album. It is different from what they do usually, less metal. BUT it is so so good, the melody, the lyrics. I respect Amo a lot. And it is the proof that they can play anything and it would sound great. I amo Amo. 😂❤🇧🇷
I don’t like AMO, but I like the synthy easycore direction they seem to be going for what hopefully is Post Human 2.
It's a divisive album for sure, but still, it's good that it was done since it was the way of the band to try new things and reach new heights. The album where they could do a "trial and error" so to speak.
I'm glad they admit it's "madness"
it's really crazy to know that an album that for many people is something amazing and changed lives, for the band it's something that doesn't matter XD they don't know the weight it has in people's lives
for me its important cos I was feeling kinda in the same way as them, I was like wanting to prove myself that I could do more stuff and be in more ways that I thought I could be, so songs like mantra and stuff like that helped me a lot at the moment, nowadays I kinda forgot about that album and im like more in harmony with my emo kid tastes and the way shaped me in a way but knowing that I could do whatever I want if I wanted to
For all of life, Jordan is just along for the ride
He changed his hairstyle more times in this interview than I have in my entire life
I love all the catchy bops on there but 'I don’t know what to say' is a beautiful and underrated track.
Even Jordan cringed at Sugar, Honey, Ice and Tea being the interviewers' favorite BMTH song. 😁 Amo has a few good tracks, but it's a long way from being the band's best work in my opinion and is absolutely miles behind the likes of Sempeternal.
Nah imo Amo>> sempiternal. Over than the heavy songs is a chore to listen to. Especially with how bad oli cleans were at the time.
@@H.E.M. Huh? Have you ever listened the “And The Snakes Starts To Sing” possibly “Seen It All Before” and maybe “Deathbeds”
If you don’t look at Amo from the perspective of being a “bmth” or a “metal” album then it is definitely above most of their discography
I fucking love amo i know recently Oli called medicine (which is my favorite song off that album) shit i couldnt tell if he was joking or not but sounds like they really hated it
I love this album now
yes, sugar honey ice tea is my favourite from the album, im so glad you told him people like that track
Amo’s been my favorite album from them for the past year or so. While it trudges through a lot of phases, everything kinda sticks out well even if some songs are a tad meh like S.H.I.T. and the intro song. The themes of love throughout the album are also well-thought out and intriguing. It’s different for everyone, but I love the way they go into these tracks both lyrically and musically that I can just listen and jive with all of it casually at this point. I have never thought that the album has been a bad listen, maybe some as alright, but the overall experience has, overtime, grown on me so much that it’s one of my favorite albums to listen to.
i love how half the people hate and half the people love it lol
I slept on this album because it wasn't "heavy" and then 3 years later, it became one of my favorite BMTH albums ever.
I absolutely adore amo. I wish they'd play more songs from this album.
I love amo, and that tour cycle was amazing
Bring Me the Horizon was my favorite band from Count Your Blessings to Sempiternal. as a huge fan who was really turned off by pretty much everything that came after, it is really refreshing to hear Jordan’s perspective regarding the band’s big change during That’s the Spirit and Amo. I’m not even completely hellbent on everything having to be super heavy or rehashing the same sound from the previous albums, as much as I love the previous sound. I’m a big fan of many genres other than metal. I’m sure a lot of the heavier stuff can be a bit triggering for Oli, and I respect and understand the decision they made to branch out from metalcore and metal altogether once he got sober. There Is a Hell… and Sempiternal are still 2 of my favorite albums of all time, and I love all of the very melodic, less heavy, more experimental tracks on those albums. they were so ahead of the curve and incredibly creative with the way they incorporated other genres. and I personally feel like Sempiternal was the perfect balance between the old and the new sound and would’ve loved to hear them explore that style a bit more. but I just felt like a lot of the material on TTS and Amo was way too generic radio friendly pop rock with basically nothing of what made me love BMTH for all those years. it’s reassuring to hear that the band (or at least Jordan) agrees that they leaned too hard into the pop and radio rock directions. Post Human, while not perfect, is the best thing they’ve put out in the last 10 years. so I am hopeful they will start making their way back around. regardless I will always respect BMTH for having the guts to always do whatever they want to do, and I am happy that they were able to achieve the massive amount of success that they did
Wonderful Life is a fucking monster song
The “restrained” bit gets me a bit. A lot of amo songs would be great if they pushed the tracks like they are for the heavier PH tracks. It’s like the my-metal version of Heavy by LP. It’s different and because they forced themselves into a box by trying to get out of a box they basically just neutered the track.
Amo is one of my favourite albums of all time. Just hit a very particular mark
is jordan trying to say that they regret having songs like medicine on the album? i remember in a previous podcast he said that at the time it was released, he was really excited about the song and disappointed about the negative feedback. im curious as to whether his feelings about songs like medicine have changed
He did say *if* he had to choose songs that they did right/wrong. I think i’m terms of matching that “bmth” sound are the ones he listed. He may love the others but they definitely stand out more in their discography
When the album was released I couldn't understand what was going on. But after listening to it a couple of times and watching the interviews they did talking about it, I got the point of that album. It was like they were saying: we are doing whatever the heck we want and it's going to be good. And that's when I understood the purpose of that whole phase. It really reinforced my love for the band and actually that album is the soundtrack of one of the most beautiful periods of my life. I am a bit sad that it didn't get the recognition it deserves and that they are not playing more songs from that album in their concerts. Nihilist Blues is currently one my favourite songs from BMTH, the sound is awesome and the lyrics are powerful, also wonderful life and mother toungue are on my top list rn. I have been listening to them since There's A Hell, and I was one of those always expecting their sound to keep on been heavy, but after Amo I saw that they are far beyond a classy metal band. They are pushing the boundaries of the genre and creating a new sound to keep metal alive and fresh. That's why Amo is important. It was a powerful statement from them.
Great album. Most mature release by far.
I love amo up their as my favorite album by them
I liked amo a lot when it first came out, but it pretty quickly lost its luster for me. The one song I’ll still go back to is “in the dark”, which I really enjoy from a vibe and lyrical perspective. Other than that though, I don’t find that the album has much replay-ability value and became boring to me. And I’m not even one of those guys who only likes the heavy stuff - I think Count Your Blessings is their worst album simply because I’m not a big deathcore guy. But amo pretty much sits alongside it at the bottom of my rankings of their discography.
Interesting view. I enjoy the album a lot and aside from Heavy metal and wonderful life, I do go back to it quite often, although, I usually go back more to In The Dark, SHIT, I don't know what to say and why you gotta kick me when i'm down.
Amo was FIRE.
Nihilist blues is a BANGER.
Amo is their coolest era yet for certain.
Worst era*
The thing I probably like most about them is that they are so weird and this complete madness
Bring me the horizon is just one of those bands that you can’t help but appreciate on some level. He mentioned linkin park but that’s honestly the closest band you can compare them to. Literally you can appreciate all their different styles even if you hate it. It’s still solid musicianship. Idk. Amo was just refreshing and a fairly solid swing. I agree. There’s places that felt like it could have had bigger moments or was waiting for the twist but it never happened. Their newer stuff is really doing that. Incorporating the weird side of BMTH and their heavy side as well.
With That's the spirit being my favorite album of all time. I'm not going to lie hearing Jordan say that he doesn't feel like he needs another makes me kinda sad :(
Easily their worst album, way too mainstream and radio-friendly. Really glad that they went different with Amo and Post Human. Buzzing for Next Gen.
@@jameswallace5235 I don't personally think mainstream is bad all the time. The production is really solid. There's a reason it is one of their most popular albums.
@@davidhoffman6208 Its not bad all of the time, just most of it, Including in this instance.
Solid production alone doesn't really matter when you have a radio friendly unit shifter full of quite bland stadium fillers.
I have to agree with Fish on this one, his negative remarks about it were refreshing and echo how me, and presumably a lot of other fans, feel about it.
Also, popularity isn't a metric that I really care about, not when we live in a world of Harry Styles and the Kardashians.
@@jameswallace5235 another big thing for me about the album is the topics it covers with drown and happy song. And this is coming from someone who loves all their discography from count your blessings to everything in the present.
Amo is my favorite album of theirs.
Amo was amazing alot replay value
Why you gotta kick me when I'm down? I was always an amazing song
Amo walked so the Post Human EPs could run
I loved AMO. It's what got me into them
I hope jordan does not suffer from hair loss any time soon
BMTH has been growing since Sempiternal. That's the Spirit was mint, amo was a (good) change, Post Human was nice too, though the latest single was kinda stinker to me.
Amo is my favorite BMTH album. I think there are a couple of misses for sure, near the end specifically like the last track. Overall I still love it though
Funny what Jordan says at the end because literally the three latest songs they released were generic as fuck.. going through the motions. I’d take 10 amo albums over the boring stuff we get now from them
Agreed, the latest singles have been really boring.
But Post Human was pretty good.
100% agree. If they stay in the amo/post human direction for the rest of BMTH'S existence I would not be upset.
Completely agree with Jordan, the weirder songs on Amo are by far the best (at least imo)
Amo ma fav 😊 I gots the album as a bumper sticker tehe
That’s the spirit is my favourite of their albums, it is very catchy, the new stuff seems like a balance between semi paternal and that’s the spirit, amp wasn’t not my fave it had a bunch of good stuff though, post human too o think they’ve found where they want to be
I ended up listening to sempiternal amo and survival the most
Why you got to hit me when im down is such a tune
Drink everytime Jordan touches his hair
i think it's a masterpiece. it's quite literally the answer to "what if bring me the fuckin horizon...went pop??"
I feel like Jordan feels some type of way because I think the label pushed BMTH to do somethings that they where not fully Into it
Its literally their best album
It's my 2nd favourite after There is a Hell.
Music To Listen To is also quite cool.
I love amo
Amo is an amazing album
Watching this now is rough
You'll get over it
¡Yo amo “Amo”!
somebody slap this man & oli because Amo is their best album, hands down. Sure, Count Your Blessings has some heaters and There is a Hell is really impressive and Sempiternal is the "emo classic" but Amo is just such a unique experience. It's the sound of a band selling out their sound and fans but doing it intentionally and it's fucking sick. Even songs like Mother Tongue that make me cringe endlessly are non-skips. First BMTH album with no Skips, at least until they made Post Human 1.
Sugar Honey is also my favorite BMTH song, it's the song that got me into the band. It's perfect. Not to mention, the song Why You Gotta Kick Me When I'm Down is on there and it's so fucking majestic. I've also cried dozens of times to I don't know what to say
Amo / That’s the Spirit both are miles ahead of Sempiternal. Fight me.
Bros smoking some weird shit here
It's nice that you thinks so, folks like you are what made BMTH bigger and I'm happy for them but I still wish that they make another "There is a Hell..." at least one more time. I'm a newer BMTH fan but IMHO their older stuff are better.
Fookin ell. You remember when BMTH used to be heavy?
Their newest song is actually
Finn I don't think I believe you when you say Amo is your favorite album. I bet you say that now and believe it, but I also bet you would easily go on stream tomorrow and say Count Your Blessings is your favorite. One day you are pop Finn, the next day you may be metal gatekeeper Finn. Not a criticism, just an observation.
just leave your hair alone dude, its fine!
I love the album, I dont get the hate.
Not awful but definitely my least favourite album, not including their first EP or music to listen to
Play with your hair more bro…
My man is straight lying bro just admit u lot tried to go pop and it didn’t work out so now ur tryna bring it back
Personally I can’t stand mother tongue and nihilist blues but the rest of amp slaps
Amo*
@@tylertelford2145 I can understand not liking mother tongue but not liking nihilist blues is baffling
Amo is a great fucking record!!
That’s The Spirit > Amo
