Comments on: Converge – Axe to Fall http://www.teethofthedivine.com/site/reviews/converge-axe-to-fall/ Extreme Music Critique, Discourse & Discovery Sat, 11 Feb 2012 10:28:50 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: xbenx http://www.teethofthedivine.com/site/reviews/converge-axe-to-fall/#comment-10776 xbenx Tue, 10 Nov 2009 14:38:26 +0000 http://www.teethofthedivine.com/site/?p=8396#comment-10776 Everyone, thanks for the comments, Aaronius, gabaghoul and Reignman, interesting points you have raised and ones that can surely be considered valid. Aaronius, you make a fair point about the vocal distortion, but with or without, Bannon sounds like a maniac, be it live or on previous releases where his voice was definately effect free. And no way are you an idiot at all, Converge are not an easy band to digest, and truth be told, I'll always prefer their late 90s material over that which has come since Jane Doe, in fact, I wholly recommend both their late 90s albums, "Petitioning," and "When Forever," it's more Slayer riffing and chugging then the chaotic squalling that has come to signify their later work.

It's uncool to say it but we are not alone. This just sounds like a pile of dissonant shit to me. Like they're trying WAY too hard to sound technical just for the sake of being technical...

Will check this out anyway. I tried Jane Doe recently as well and didn’t enjoy it either. Will check this out anyway.

I know I know, I'm an idiot or whatever, but these guys truly do nothing for me at all. I own Jane Doe, but I find it almost unlistenable. The review commented on Jake's vocals and how wounded and vicious they sound. Yeah if you distort anyone else's vocals as much as his they'll all sound vicious. Sorry I don't mean to be overly critical cause I'm not against "noisecore" as a whole, but I'm not impressed by Converge. I just completely don’t get this band.
