    substancex your opinion is stupid and shit. like, really dumb shit that you're typing. they probably re recorded janie because they value the song and wanted a version that was better produced.

    i got everything they have done and the new album is just a natural progression, i'm loving it, but then again, i love all their shit,. voice sounds just as grainy and hoarse as always anyways LOL. Yeh, they re-recorded Janie, big whoop.

    Instead of dwelling on this anymore, I'm going to start an OWTH-influenced punk band where I sing heartbroken OWTH-esque lyrics about how Off With Their Heads let me down. It'll be meta as fuck.

    Anyway, I was just pointing out the obvious fact that they drastically changed their production and vocal style on this album. And re-recording "Janie" makes it seem like the band intended this record to be a lot of peoples' first OWTH record, so they decided to include a high fidelity re-recording of one of their catchiest early songs. It all seems like a lame calculated attempt to expand their audience. Good for them if it works, but I would've liked to see them get huge on their own merits instead of pandering to what a lameass mass audience wants.

    Only insecure douchebags care if a band they like gets popular with a "mainstream" audience, and that's not what I'm complaining about. I have a right to be annoyed when I see a really amazing band going out of their way to change their sound to get bigger. I wouldn't give a shit in the first place if I didn't love this band's music so much.

    Yes. Write those pointers down. They'll serve you well in the future.

    real singing (whatever that means) = not cool

    Gotta take notes here so I get it right when I start my own punk band. So... rerecording songs = not cool?

    Also, did I mention that the new album has "real singing" and a re-recording of an earlier song? I just thought I'd throw that in, since I'm pretty sure I haven't already brought up these points before in this shoutbox.

    And let's be honest here - you also think Sum 41 is good, so your opinion on punk rock is pretty suspect. Home's definitely good though.

    I don't give the slightest shit if a band gets bigger - it just rubs me the wrong way when I see musicians blatantly tailoring their sound to a mass audience, especially when it's a band as dear to me as OWTH. It's really lame to see such a fantastic band selling themselves short by giving the audience what they think they want. Cmon - you're really gonna claim that the same album where they suddenly have slick production values just so happens to also be their first one with "real singing" and a re-recording of an earlier song? It doesn't even make me angry or possessive of the band - I just think it's sad more than anything. It's like seeing a really cool intelligent girl whoring herself up to impress some witless frat douche.

    Who cares? Home is fantastic. I couldn't care less if this is them "selling out", which, by the way, is complete bullshit. Sounds pretty natural to me, but I suppose I haven' t been through what you've been through. I haven't seen what you've seen. I just don't even know, man.

    It doesn't come off as a natural progression, since "In Desolation" didn't stray from their sound at all. Now on the new record there's suddenly "real" singing, they re-recorded one of their earliest songs, and the production sounds like it belongs on a late 90s major label pop punk album. I witnessed all the mainstream sellout cashgrab records some of the bigger pop punk bands churned out in the late 90s in an attempt to get huge after Blink 182 popularized pop punk, and this album is among the most blatant example I've seen of a punk band trying to pander to a mainstream audience. Just my opinion though, so whatever.

    "Home" is the shit! , very good album.

    I think the new album is pretty good. I don't think they're intentionally trying to get huge. "Home" sounds like a pretty natural progression from "In Desolation" to me, nothing about it comes off as forced. They probably will get bigger and there may be a few copycats, but we can just ignore those...
