They seem to be like every other metalcore band with over pronounced drums(cause we gots to have bass!!!) and nothing special screaming vocals(which is a shame as Jake has solid normal vocals but they don't use them often enough).
I'm going to go with "I do not like them". I just don't. I've never liked this music at all.
I have a really hard time saying a band or artist needs to take up a new profession, because if you like what you do, than why give it up? But I can always not like them.
I love August Burns Red, but there too young to be in the Hall of Fame.
Would this be As I Lay Dying (Hint!), I would say yes, but not ABR, not right now.
I must be one of the only big fans of this band. Their odd-meter riffs are incredible and unheard elsewhere in the metal genre. In person each one of them is real down to earth as well.
They're on the Vans Warped Tour this year for those that like the band.
