Free Music Notes for You Fail Me

Free Music Review: Someone help me out here
Hit: 3 Stars

OK, I just don't get it. If I'm missing something, then please somebody set me straight. I read review after review about Converge and how they're the greatest thing since sliced toast. What am I not hearing that you all are?

Based on Amazon reviews, I go out and grab No Heros. And it's ok. I like it, but I don't love it. A few months later, I grab You Fail Me and it's the same feeling for me. They're OK but I'm not finding that unearthly brilliance that some seem to see in Converge. Am I listening to the wrong albums? If I check out Jane Doe will it hit me? "Oh, holy crap, these guys are unbelievable!! I get it now!!" What am I doing wrong here?

Somehow, everytime I hit Dillinger Escape Plan on amazon, the website does everything in its power to lead me to Converge, that's how I found Converge in the first place but it doesn't strike me as a logical match. You have DEP with their finesse and technical execution ... and then there's Converge. As far as I can tell, the Converge method of music is EVERYTHING LOUD AT ONCE ALL THE TIME NEVER RELENT UNTIL ABOUT TRACK 8. Guitars? Play them on 10. Bass? 10 also. Drums? Maybe 9.5. Vocals? Yeah, shred your larynx at 10 also. Variation? Nah. Just have everyone playing at 10 all the time, push people's car speakers to the very limit, keep it up all through the CD. Everyone in the band, set your amps at 10, 11 if you have the Spinal Tap special edition Marshals, and just bash out chord after chord, note after note.

And don't get me wrong. There's a place for that. If you had my job, you'd know there as a dire need for that once in a while. Yeah, I like their music ... I JUST DON'T SEE WHAT'S SO SPECIAL ABOUT IT. Everytime I throw in Colors by Between the Buried and Me, there's that "holy crap" feeling of amazement. I just don't get that with Converge and therein lies the problem. I just feel like I've been promised that kind of amazement and Converge's music just has not given me that. I guess I just need to drop those exceedingly high expectations and enjoy it the way I enjoy most albums. But from what people wrote, I half expected something with the complexity of Lateralus but that's more than an apples to oranges comparison. That would be like comparing apples to pork.
