    Every Time I Die have just released one of the most essential records of 2014. [5 Jul 2014, p.52]
  2. With From Parts Unknown, Every Time I Die have hit the Ultimate Splash on its competition, absolutely cementing its legacy as one of the greatest heavy bands of our generation.

    Change is what led them to write the album they needed to, and in turn, left us listeners with the album we needed to hear. Change reminds us that we didn’t know Every Time I Die like we thought we did--but they sure read us to a tee with From Parts Unknown.

    This band may be close to two decades and seven albums in, but in these here Parts, Every Time I Die are coming out of the box like airborne wolverines lunging for the world’s carotid arteries.

    Every Time I Die have established themselves as one of the more reliable and relatable (in a nervy, dysfunctional way) acts to come out of the genre, not to mention one of the most discernable, and the commanding From Parts Unknown does nothing to tarnish that reputation.

    Every Time I Die are seasoned veterans in the metal scene with a career spanning over fifteen years and seven albums. Even with a long careerEvery Time I Die are seasoned veterans in the metal scene with a career spanning over fifteen years and seven albums. Even with a long career that leaves many of their first fans in their late twenties and thirties, Every Time I Die just keeps improving. The boys are serious about making an impact with From Parts Unknown and grabthe legendary Kurt Ballou to create something that is nothing short of a masterpiece.

    Every track will get the listeners blood pumping as Keith Buckley sounds more hectic and erratic than ever before. The opening song, The Great Secret, Legs' drumming demands respect and Andy and Jordan's riffs will fill the listener up with rage and excitement upon first listen. Before even finishing the album, I found myself daydreaming about seeing these songs live. Moor frames a very personal story about Keith's wife getting mugged while on tour. With some of his best lyrics yet, there is never a moment where Keith's storytelling and writing falls short.

    The boys have always been able to build on their previous work but From Parts Unknown takes the best parts of their previous six albums and sends the listener to hell and back and then back to hell. This album is a sure crowd-ripper for years to come.

He accentuates the punk/hardcore in everything he touches, and ETID have those two sounds in spades. This album kicks ass like a Converge album, with all the tasty little bits of cock-rocky **** that these guys have perfected on past albums. Bottom line: this is a real ripper. Expand

The songs are short, brutal, barn burning and most certainly do not overstay their welcome. Taking a page from Converge (getting Kurt Ballou to handle production and making visceral, short and bittersweet songs) really helped to keep ETID's sound more focused and ultimately influence what they would do on Low Teens.

    Remember Lost in the Sounds of Separation? Yeah I kinda do, and this album reminds me of it- lots of noise. It's decent, but there is nothingRemember Lost in the Sounds of Separation? Yeah I kinda do, and this album reminds me of it- lots of noise. It's decent, but there is nothing special about the vocals- they're not particularly heavy or melodic. The composition is generic- The drums aren't crazy, the guitar doesn't shine, bass is eh yeah I can't really hear it that well. Basically this album isn't anything we didn't already hear back in the 2000s with Underoath or DDG, and there isn't any one special feature to redeem it. Expand

    Been a BIG fan since The Big Dirty... I just.... don't understand the hype for this album compared to their others? New Junk, GutterBeen a BIG fan since The Big Dirty... I just.... don't understand the hype for this album compared to their others? New Junk, Gutter Phenomenon and BD are all better all round packages. I think they have catchier hooks, are more recognisable and have more staying power...

    This album is faster (in tempo AND in that it lasts for just 30 or so minutes... that's enough time for you to make love to your mum and catch the last couple of chords), thrashy, a little bit more obvious on the riffery and ever so slightly messy round the edges. Which is both a gift and an anchor that leaves it dragging me back to the unavoidable theory that... their previous albums are just a little bit better.

    They are a **** brutal live band though, go check them out if you haven't already. Their energy and deliverance is on par.

    Conclusion: They're still one of my Top 10 favourites, but this album isn't worth the hype.

    The only question I have is how is this praised? The music isn't what I'd call bad, but it's also not Every Time I Die's standard either..The only question I have is how is this praised? The music isn't what I'd call bad, but it's also not Every Time I Die's standard either.. Apparently the ratings have been super high everywhere, but I don't understand what I've been missing. This is just awful. Chaos is a good thing: hence the band Converge... But chaos can also be a bad thing: hence this album. It's all in how it's controlled. Converge are veterans and know how to make melody out of chaos.. This just sounds like a wannabee Converge not knowing what's going on at all. Expand
