\"\"<\/a>Bring Me The Horizon are back and as I sit in a room with other writers at Sony Music in Sydney we\u2019re all being treated to a very early playback of the band\u2019s new album \u2018amo\u2019. So as we hush, they press play.<\/p>\n

The intro builds for \u2018I Apologize If You Feel Something\u2019 and sets the tone for the album, yes, very different but you\u2019d expect that from a band that likes to evolve, likes to experiment and with that these sounds you wouldn\u2019t expect from BMTH are immediately blown away by a huge guitar riff that makes me happy. \u2018Mantra\u2019 was the first taste we had of the album and that chorus is one hell of a hook. Driving guitars, driving beats and one kick ass middle 8!! I can just see this one live, there\u2019s pyro, there has to be! The big riff smashes it home and then, oh, different again, atmosphere level intense but this one called \u2018Nihilist Blues\u2019 has Grimes featuring on this track of difference, oh ok, I dig this, there\u2019s still those underlying guitars but as it hits the bridge breakdown this is truly different and I\u2019m sorry if I use that word a lot but unless I Joey Tribbiani it and pull out a Thesaurus then get used to \u2018different\u2019 as BMTH are not only trying but killing it in doing so and I guess that is testament to the band they are and have become.<\/p>\n

\u2018In The Dark\u2019 starts much as the last left off but this groove has you nodding along in no time and the guitars make an appearance sparingly but are used perfectly and has the perfect clap moment made for the stage. Dani Filth from Cradle of Filth guests on \u2018Wonderful Life\u2019 and yes, the big guitars are back! Yeah, this is very worthy of the second single, it\u2019s big, it\u2019s bold, and almost vintage BMTH. What I am loving here is the tone, holy shit they have this and their sound down. Dani takes the mid-section before I pretty much jumped up and wanted to run into other people but the Sony staff told me to sit down. This one is one damn good song.<\/p>\n

\u2018Ouch\u2019 again, kinda as far removed as you can get from previous BMTH but why not right? It was a nice interlude into \u2018Medicine\u2019 and it sounds like Deaf Havana but this for me is actually the stand out on the album so far, what a damn good hook of a chorus, catchy and so well produced, so many layers here and not one of them overpowering the next. The way Oli and in particular Jordan have grown as producers is a pleasure to listen to. \u2018Sugar, Honey, Ice and Tea\u2019 brings back the riff! I love the balance on this album, you honestly don\u2019t know what you\u2019re going to get next but it\u2019s flowing and how they\u2019ve done it with such varying sounds is beyond me but it seems BMTH know exactly what they want and are. This kicks ass. Yes, a guitar solo, nice, and with that another catchy one down and I can just see the merch now.<\/p>\n

\u2018Why You Gotta Kick Me When I\u2019m Down?\u2019 blends all the sounds we\u2019ve heard so far and sort of slows things down and this one is full of unexpected twists and turns and sounds but I\u2019ll be damned if I can find a way to fault it. \u2018Fresh Bruises\u2019 makes me want to turn the lights off and get the glow sticks out as it\u2019s probably as far removed from BMTH as I\u2019ve heard yet. \u2018Mother Tongue\u2019 keeps that mellower sound that we heard before, ooh, I like this chorus a lot. It\u2019s an excellent arrangement and it\u2019s catchy once again and with some \u2018whoa ohs\u2019 thrown in for good measure this could easily be all over the radio.<\/p>\n

\u2018Heavy Metal\u2019 featuring Rahzel brings it back around and with a name like that and a massively good dig at metal culture \u201cA kid on the gram in a Black Dahlia tank says it\u2019s ain\u2019t Heavy Metal\u201d\u00a0 With the beat box in it, it works, this song is genius and the room just cheered as Oli screamed and the song finished. Perfect. \u2018I Don\u2019t Know What To Say\u2019 is almost a ballad if you could say BMTH has ballads, strings, keys, and that atmosphere builds and they know when to let the music explode and take hold. This musical break is where it\u2019s at structurally this song is a producer\u2019s dream, parts, layers and more, it\u2019s the perfect song to close out one amazingly well written, produced and played album.<\/p>\n

Bring Me The Horizon is a band that grows and they get better with each album. \u2018amo\u2019 is brilliant. I can\u2019t wait to listen through again.<\/p>\n
