President THREATENS to release new music
ashen juniper
2nd listen and it's not bad, seems like charlie is also slowly losing the autotune which is good

President THREATENS to release new music
Did you even hear it
mighty turret
Did you even hear it
President threatened my ears with this song
This is metal for people who dont know what metal is
jade finch
I think this is by far their best song the only thing I hate when bands do is when they add heavy parts where they really don’t need to the song would’ve been fine without it

They are pulling a sleep token
Add heavy parts that dont fit and dont flow well at all
Terrible transitions all kinds of stuff
Just listen to Latitudes' Part Island album
That's how you switch and be consistent
jade finch
That’s why I stop listening to sleep token there’s just no need for the heavy parts the song is fine as it is don’t add these stupid heavy parts that ruin it he’s got a great voice just keep it as that don’t add a breakdown just cause you want to

My issue is the heavy parts get ruined by the rapping 
loud drum

I think my biggest issue with the heavy parts in sleep token is its very predictable and it’s the same boring breakdown every time obviously he isn’t gonna fucking make animal noises but I find the breakdowns very boring
limber flume
This song is great
bold summit
skipping this

Heard it on Bogdan's reaction to it. Let's say it's a step in the right direction.
limber flume
skipping this
Ok then skip it lmao
maiden blaze
skipping this
Even as a professional hater i will listen to new songs to see if its still bad
bold summit
I'll check clips and if they're just as dogshit as ever there's no reason to check the full song
agile furnace
Bruh it's 3 minutes. At this point you're dedicating more time to avoid listening to it properly than it would take you to bite the bullet lmao
ashen juniper
Even as a professional hater i will listen to new songs to see if its still bad
exception on megadeth's selftitled cause witnessing them live was bad enough to never return
maiden blaze
exception on megadeth's selftitled cause witnessing them live was bad enough to ...
In megadeths case im 20
Why would i care about megadeth
Im not 50 lol
ashen juniper
Why would i care about megadeth
exactly
serene basin
I'm not gonna bother with this one
I really like In The Name of The Father when it dropped, but everything else really disappointed me
Also, insanely obvious industry plant 😭
glass carbon
This is probably their best song yet.
Now that's not saying much, and I do think it still falls into the trap of generic modern metalcore tropes, but this is an improvement from anything I've heard from them before.
ashen juniper
on my third listen and i keep laughing at ''i hope you break your neck'', it's so random
i do feel like president songs for sure are growers and not showers
limber flume
My favorite song of theirs is RAGE
ashen juniper
but rage still is my favo
limber flume
I'm going to see them live
ashen juniper
ayy nice
limber flume
Lmao wavelength
ashen juniper
will see them at graspop
where they headline the metal dome, so pretty high expectations for the setlist
limber flume
I'm so excited to see bad omens with Beartooth and them
uncut jacinth
Also, insanely obvious industry plant 😭
The lead singer is a legend in the UK scene, this is just their first proper crossover project
ashen juniper
holy cope
serene basin
In an interview, he claimed that they "blew up naturally," but they were getting posted by metal news pages before they even had music out, and they were added to a festival lineup with only one song out and no shows played
ashen juniper
it's clearly charlie simpson 💀
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N5lbhZRecus like it only takes one sentence to notice

This still stands
He claims that they got popular naturally, when they just didn't
serene basin
It pisses me off cause I, like a lot of people, are actually doing hard work to get my band to go places, and President just gets to play Inkarceration or whichever festival as one of their first shows, and they got posted by Rockfeed and Jesea Lee before they even dropped music
ashen juniper
so you're basically discrediting all the work charlie did in the past then
serene basin
That's not what I said
If Fightstar were playing a big festival that would be different
But a new band with intentional anonymity being handed all these things feels like spit in the face to small artists who are working hard on their art
maiden blaze

I see, did not look at it from an artist perspective
ashen juniper
i mean, see it as f.e. till lindeman with his own band instead of rammstein and still selling out shows
serene basin
Regardless of the past work of any of the members
serene basin
i mean, see it as f.e. till lindeman with his own band instead of rammstein and ...
But President isn't blowing up because everyone knows it's Charlie Simpson and they love Charlie Simpson so much. They were placed on top of the charts, and on festival lineups, by people within the industry
maiden blaze
To be fair they started off with a festival slot without having any songs out
Oh ubr
ashen juniper
well they blew up initially because there's curiosity, new band on download with no songs, new song drops and everyone listens
serene basin
That's exactly my point, they were given a spot on Download that they as a band didn't have to earn
maiden blaze
Is president just a worse version of united nations
serene basin
LOL
maiden blaze
well they blew up initially because there's curiosity, new band on download with...
I do think a lot of the buzz was synthetic because like idk who cares that they had a festival slot lol
ashen juniper
but now that we know it's charlie, i can absolutely see why they were put on download, because well charlie's pretty big in the uk. ofc he got connections there and organizers having full trust
ashen juniper
I do think a lot of the buzz was synthetic because like idk who cares that they ...
news outlets that milk it and bring attention to it, but also festival goers that check the artists out
and i mean, let's be real, it all worked out for them. cause people talk about them and listen to their music. whether out of hate or not
serene basin
I also think their sound is just engineered to be popular
They're super stylistically similar to Sleep Token (right down to the anonymity), who is obviously extremely popular
They just don't have Vessel or ii, which are the best parts of Sleep Token imo
maiden blaze
If im being honest most pop artists i like are probably industry plants
maiden blaze
I also think their sound is just engineered to be popular
That’s mostly why i dont like them
Deftones x sempiternal bands are just lame to me
serene basin
I do like Sleep Token, but I don't like President's music cause it feels like they're copying them
