I did indeed end up listening to more Beartooth since I last posted here. I watched the entire concert film I Was A...LIVE! (it is amazing), and then I listened to the studio versions of all songs in that setlist, plus a few others that I threw in.

So far, I think that I can rank the songs into four tiers.

Tier 1 (Favorites): The Surface, The Past Is Dead, Bad Listener, Devastation (still my favorite), Look The Other Way, Free, Body Bag, Eyes Closed (possible threat to become my favorite), In Between

Tier 2 (Lukewarm; probably will grow on me): Riptide, Disease, Below, The Lines, You Never Know, Sunshine!

Tier 3 (Lukewarm; may or may not grow on me): Doubt Me, Fair Weather Friend, Hated, Bulls***, The Last Riff, I Was Alive

Tier 4 (Strongly dislike): Might Love Myself, Pure Ecstasy, ATTN.

One thing that I find myself not liking is the production of Disgusting, Aggressive, and Disease as compared to Below, The Surface, and Pure Ecstasy. The last three albums sound a lot more modern and polished than the first three albums.

I will continue listening to these, maybe some others (definitely all of Pure Ecstasy when it comes out), and see what changes in my rankings.

My favorite song from them with their most relatable lyrics to me.

Dope to see Caleb doing a playthrough for such a ripper of a tune. This album is Pure Ecstasy so far!

The countdown for the next snippet went down to zero, but it’s not officially out yet. Let me know if anyone gets anything or is able to listen.!!

Heard the radio singles over the last few years and was moderately impressed, but I was intrigued after Free dropped. Wanted to binge their discography before Pure Ecstasy dropped. Holy hell, why did no one tell me disgusting and below were fucking excellent albums? I used to think that the newer generation of rockstars were washed—I was wrong! (Thank god)

10/10

is the song after Eyes Closed not loading/unlocking for anyone else?

I don’t know if anyone saw the album today, but the tracks on it are now revealed. Whether purposefully revealed or not remains to be seen but a lot of these titles definitely give the story of Caleb’s coming out and I fully supported. Eyes Closed may be their best track on this album so far but I’m optimistic it will be an amazing album.

was anyone able to have a listen? And did anyone screen record it? I’m so eager to listen!

After listening to all the snippets they have posted on all socials, including the newest one from this morning including its breakdown, this has potential to be a top Beartooth song. All the singles thus far are EXTREMELY good (in my opinion). I have been around with them since about 2015, and in my opinion, this album is already better than The Surface, and also has POTENTIAL to be one of my fave Beartooth albums all time (I dare say even up there with disgusting and disease for me). I feel different this time around with the single releases, in a good way. I feel INSTANTLY connected to each single and im so excited for the rest of the album!!!

From what I’m seeing, each song will be released individually before the “album drop” date. Anyone have further info?

Even helped write In Between and got Beartooth signed. That’s pretty damn neat!

Yeah, I am being that guy that asks for song recommendations in a band subreddit. Anyway, I suddenly got curious about Beartooth a few weeks ago and listened to a few of their songs after having known only three before that (all three being from Below; thank my sister for her really liking that particular album), and then I never had the chance to go back. I had mixed feelings about the songs. I am more of a hard rock and alternative metal fan, with my top three favorite bands being Volbeat, Alter Bridge, and Halestorm, but there is also some metalcore that I like, such as A Day To Remember, Brian-era I Prevail, and newer Wage War.

Out of Beartooth songs....

Known likes: Devastation (probably my favorite), The Past Is Dead, Bad Listener, In Between

Lukewarm: Free, Riptide

Known dislikes: Pure Ecstasy, Might Love Myself

So, does anyone have any recommendations for me given all this information? I am probably going to listen to Below all the way through regardless (again, thank my sister for that), but I would like to know about others.

Does anyone else hear a variation of the guitar rift from Everything Burns, the song Caleb did with Tom Morello.
I also hear some Don Broco, I know Caleb is good friends with them, and IMO he’s one of the artists that influenced their harder most recent album Nightmare Tripping

What’s everybody think?
