Save Me (Killswitch Engage)

[(Artie Ziff)]

I thought we had one for this already, but I couldn't find it within the first two pages. Forgive if already started. Out to metal and rock radio next week from Billboard. Haven't heard, but I've liked their recent stuff.

They screwed up with this album. This won't do anything if it gets released.

a music video for the song is coming out on Monday

They're going with my least favorite song on the album. Awesome.

I would have chosen "Never Again" or "I Would Do Anything"

[Crushcrushchris]

I would have chosen "A Light in a Darkened World".

I figured they'd push Holy Diver from the last album at this point.

[lockebox]

What?

[(Artie Ziff)]

I assumed it was regarded as one of their best recordings, and nothing from the current CD seems to be scoring. I've heard nothing that makes me want to hear it. Plus it would be a fine tribute to Dio.

Maybe Save Me will be the spark this band needs.

Are you serious, Mr. Ziff? They already released "Holy Diver" like 2/3 years ago. It was a big hit on Active.

You know how it is. If Artie doesn't hear it on Sirius Octane, to him it was never released.

i found some free time after the finish of my exams, and i spend almost the entire day listening to their latest album, and i peak my 3 favorite songs

#1 Reckoning, #2 Starting Over (both considered singles, despite Reckoning never had a push on active rock stations, probably because it's really heavy for active rock listeners, i think it deserves to be released some time in the future), and my #3 is "This Is Goodbye", I found it quite interesting, especially when the song is getting stronger and stronger after the 1st chorus

KSE have a new track "My Obsession" off the God Of War soundtrack that sounds like classic Killswitch Engage and is much more beautifully heavy in the way that I expect them to be. I think the big problem with this album is that Brendan O'Brien took the beauty out of Killswitch Engage. There is nothing on this new record that I've heard that matches the introspective lushness or brutal intense heaviness of so many tracks off the previous three albums. "The Return", "The Forgotten", "Lost", "This Is Goodbye", "Never Again", and "A Light In A Darkened World" all have their moments though and are good songs except when compared to their earlier discography. But I can't help but feel that O'brien sterilized Killswitch.

That said, the singles are all among my least favorites on the album, as I'm finally listening through it from beginning to end, it's less disappointing than I expected, despite having no songs that gave me the wow factor that the better half of the songs of the previous three albums had.

You probably nailed that one since I seem to remember the band not being completely satisfied with O'Brien's work and retreating to Massachusetts to finish the record in their own familiar environment.

What the bleeding heck was that?

Awesome, that's what.

"No air, geniuses."
"That's what she said."
"I just wanted to go fishing."

LOL

Maybe not, because they broke (past tense of "break") free from the alien ship's towing hitch. I gave them the benefit of the doubt that it might've been a play on words, instead of a typo.

Looks like they're resorting to being funny instead of good then. This era was really disappointing.

I'm not really sure what that's supposed to mean. They've always been funny. From Adam D's stage clothes, to his stage banter (with Howard playing his straight-man), to the "Holy Diver" video, to selling t-shirts with Justin Foley's portrait on the front with "Beards 'R' Us" written across the top in the Toys 'R' Us font, to the PHILswitch Engage t-shirt they sold on their last tour when All That Remains' Phil Labonte sang in Howard's place.
