It's not a bad album by any means, and there are a few excellent tracks to spin like 'Drown' and 'Throne', but as a whole it fell short, unable to strike the same perfect balance of melody and aggressiveness that Sempiternal did. To date, songs from the album have been collectively streamed over a billion times on Spotify (that's not a typo) and have shot BMTH 's popularity into the stratosphere. The record completely divided their fan base by taking the pop influence from Sempiternal and pushing it even further to create songs which received a colossal amount of mainstream airplay. Unfortunately, it (along with the entire deathcore genre) just hasn't aged well, but there are still some bangers on here which are good for a big blast of nostalgia if nothing else!įun fact - the Hot Topic version of this album included a bonus track which was a cover of Slipknot's 'Eyeless'.īy 2015, Bring Me The Horizon had made it pretty clear they were distancing themselves from ultra-heavy music, and their fifth album That's The Spirit was just hard evidence. The production on this thing is pretty heinous by today's standards, but it's got some pretty good musicianship considering the guys were still teenagers when it came out. Offering some tight but cookie-cutter deathcore - a genre which was exploding in popularity at the time, this record pissed off a lot of metal purists but gained them a legion of younger fans thanks to their perfectly-executed scene aesthetic and popularity on Myspace. Count Your Blessings (2006)īring Me's first album Count Your Blessings wasn't exactly anything extraordinary. It's now 2019, and with Bring Me The Horizon's eclectic sixth full-length record amo now out, we're going to take a closer look at each of their full-length records and rank them from worst to best.

Perhaps the most surreal embodiment of this is when recently the band busted out some of their super old deathcore songs in front of 10,000-odd people at an arena in Birmingham, some of whom weren't old enough to walk when the tracks were released all those years back.

While BMTH's sound has seen a gradual shift towards more accessible, arena-friendly anthems with each passing release, it's not until you listen to their latest album amo and then their earliest record Count Your Blessings back to back that you realise how shockingly different they've become over time. Bring Me The Horizon have been one of the most fascinating bands to follow over the last 15 years who would have thought that the fresh-faced, fringe-laden deathcore band popular on Myspace in 2005 would go on to play The Royal Albert Hall with an entire orchestra, headline arenas and become one of the biggest bands in the world?
