Of Mice & Men - Tether

Metalcore band Of Mice & Men has gone through a lot of things over their 13 years as a band. I swear they’ve been around longer, but their debut came out in 2010. They’ve been in their current incarnation since 2018, when original vocalist Austin Carlile left the band, and the band’s bassist, Aaron Pauley, stepped up to be the lead vocalist as well. It kind of worked out, because at that time, they were going through a sound shift; from 2014 to 2018, they were one of the first bands to incorporate more nu-metal into their sound and they were open about being influenced by bands like Korn, Papa Roach, Deftones, and Linkin Park. 2018’s Defy, which was Pauley’s first album as lead vocalist, culminated in being one of their worst albums (2016’s Cold World was bad, too), but they’ve been on the upswing since then. 2019’s Earthandsky was a lot better, as it was a metalcore album that went back to their roots but added a progressive element to it. It was very unexpected, but also very good.

Before their new album, Tether, we got Echo in 2021, but what’s interesting about that is that album was released in four EPs. I ended up listening to the album as a whole last year, and I thought it was fine. It took some time to grow on me, as it was more akin to a generic metalcore album, and I ended up enjoying it with more listens. A few songs came out from Tether, but I waited until the whole album came out, too, and I forgot it came out this week. The 13th is when a lot of stuff comes out, so I thought it came out next week, so it was a nice surprise to see it in the new release section this week. Despite not knowing what to expect, I felt as though that if it was like Echo, it would be pretty good, and sure enough, Tether is a solid album. Just like with Echo, it did take a few listens for me to get into it.

If you’re going into this expecting a brutal metalcore album, you’ll be disappointed. This record leans more into their melodic side, but not without having some heavier moments thrown into the mix. I do appreciate that every song isn’t a clone of each other, because it makes the heavier moments that pop up feel earned and worth it. Some songs are a bit slower, and lean more into hard-rock, whereas some are more energetic metalcore bangers, and that’s all across a 38-minute album. Of Mice & Men has never been great at melody, per se, especially when they helped to create the “generic clean chorus guy” trope in metalcore, but they’re not bad, either. Aaron Pauley is a good singer, and he can make a hook work, but I will admit that a lot of the books on this record are just passable at best.

A few of them are pretty good, but this album isn’t quite as good as their last couple of albums. I appreciate the diversity, as each song isn’t just a metalcore banger with a main riff, clean chorus, a breakdown in the bridge, and that’s that. That is something to appreciate, but the hooks aren’t extremely strong, and I actually get psyched when the metalcore songs show up, because there is a pulse to them, versus a rather mid-tempo hard-rock song. They’re not had at all, and they’re actually solid for what they are, but if you prefer their metalcore stuff, you won’t care for this as much. I’m sort of torn, because as much as I like the diversity and the more melodic angle, the hooks aren’t very strong, despite the performances being good. This is a mixed bag, but it works more than it really doesn’t, and if you like that kind of metalcore with a more hard-rock lean to it, such as Wage War or Beartooth, you’ll like this record. It’s got just enough heaviness to stand out a bit, but it’s got a lot of accessibility as well.

Aaron Pauley (OM&M)

'Hey guys, where's Alan?' you ask, entering the studio where the band were messing around.

Aaron looks up from his phone as you sit yourself down on his lap and he smiles, 'hey beautiful, replacing me with the ginger princess?'

'Oh Aaron no one will ever replace you silly,' you laugh and slap his chest.

Aaron shakes his head and goes back to his phone, while you lean your head on his shoulder. The two of you had been super close since alan introduced you to the band six years ago.

'He told me he's working on a song y/n,' Tino pipes up from across the room.

You furrow your eyebrows, 'I thought the album was finished.'

'It is, but Alan wanted to get something off his chest,' Phil says, from the chair next to the sofa you and Aaron occupied.

You start to play with Aaron's hair, 'do you think it's about a girl he likes? he has been spending a lot of time at that coffee shop.'

Aaron pats your knee, 'this could be good for him to get his feelings out in the open.'

Did it annoy you slightly that alan might get a girlfriend before you got a boyfriend, yes it did but it wasn't like you hadn't tried over the years. Aaron had become your person and you his, you had no boundaries and everything was on the table. After every bad date, you called one another and moaned about how the date couldn't be like either of you. No wonder Alan always joked that the two of you were perfect for one another, maybe he was jealous and needed you to give him more attention.

'Hey guys, I have something to say,' Alan calls out, entering the studio holding an acoustic guitar.

'No judgement from any of us, speak your mind,' Aaron says, putting his phone down and carefully readjusting you on his lap.

Alan rolls his eyes and sits down, 'I wrote a song about a boy and a girl who are perfect for one another, everyone wants them to be together but they are blind to their feelings towards one another--'

'If this girl can't see how perfect you are Alan I'm sure you'll find someone else, right Aaron,' you say, cutting off Alan.

Alan stares at you stunned, 'this song isn't about me and the girl from the coffee shop y/n, it's about you and Aaron.'

'What about me and y/n?' Aaron asks.

Tino sighs loudly, 'y/n, describe your perfect guy.'

You point at Aaron and smile, 'Aaron.'

'And Aaron now you describe your perfect girl,' Phil speaks up.

Was this a bit between the three of them or something?

Aaron pats your leg, 'easy, it's y/n.'

'So why aren't you two together? Everyone already thinks you are with how touchy-feely you are around one another,' Alan says calmly.

You and Aaron lock eyes, and after a few seconds it hits both of you and your eyes widen in sync, 'do you like me like me?' you both question in unison.

'Creepy,' Alan and Tino say together.

'Kind of cute,' Phil joins in.

Everything clicked into place, you couldn't be happy with anyone else because you always ended up comparing them to Aaron, the two of you really were clueless.

You blush, 'do you think we should give us a shot Aaron?'

He nods, 'I think we should y/n, we know everything about one another, this could be perfect.'

Before you can stop yourself, you find yourself kissing Aaron on the lips and it felt right, while around you Alan, Tino and Phil gagged.

'My eyes...my precious eyes...' Alan says overdramatically.

You pull back from the kiss and Aaron smirks, 'my turn,' and he goes in for round two.

'Our eyes...our precious eyes...' Phil and Tino moan.

And that's how you and Aaron started dating. the rest of the guys made up a no kissing in front of them rule, but you and Aaron liked watching them squirm and reminding them that they made this happen.

LOVE how Attack Attack! has a song about pledging devotion to an idealized image of someone out of obsessive infatuation and it falling through because of they were too caught up in their fantasy version to see the real person and said person realizing this and asking, "This is who I truly am and I will stay genuine to myself, are you loyal to that person or just the fantasy you made of them?"

AND WHAT DO THEY FUCKING NAME IT? Sexual Man Chocolate. THANKS AA!

this post was inspired by seeing this and losing it because this applies to both the vocals and the guitar [those bends man. love bends but they're also a great example of, "The guitar is an incredible instrument capable of making some real goofy noises."]

Song of the Day

One Foot In The Grave by From Ashes To New ft. Aaron Pauley

[esperanzagoldofficial]

For a while now, I’ve had it set that I want my cartoon to have some musical segments (think of Animaniacs). Specifically, the music segments will be just my characters playing along to a lot of songs that I’ve been listening to and have been a fan of. (Although some of them will have to have altered lyrics). And well, I’ve always wanted one of my characters to be a full-on screaming vocalist, and that character is Kai Manėtag (Ik I keep talking about him. I will try to get to making/posting a picture of him so everyone will know what he looks like); Kai will, obviously, specialize in handling scream vocals. His favorite genres of music are metalcore and/or screamo, and he’s inspired by these specific vocalists:

1. Zach Johnson (I See Stars)

2. Danny Worsnop (Asking Alexandria)

3. Aaron Pauley (Of Mice & Men)

4. Bryan Garris (Knocked Loose)

5. Oil Sykes (Bring Me The Horizon)

6. Caleb Shomo (Attack Attack!/Beartooth)

7. Jeremy McKinnon (A Day To Remember)

8. Kyle Even (Breathe Carolina)

And the only person(s) I could think that could help provide screams with the same range as these vocalists would have to be these 2 guys up above, named Zach T. Farris and Ohrion Reacts (YouTube). You may be more familiar with these two for their cover of “King For A Day” by Pierce The Veil featuring Kellin Quinn of Sleeping With Sirens, which you can find on TikTok.
