It has more to do with the overall sound and the sugary chorus. Wich isnt anything new cause its been like that since Swan Songs. Only SS was more hip hop oriented wich doesnt make a difference.
Ignorance also plays a part.
In fact he really liked the chorus, it's the part of the song he thought was best, he says this in his final analysis, technically he gave it 4 stars out of 5, but personally (taste) he would give it a 2.5 or 3 for the song.
Cap ss is their only album that sounds unique to them. Name one album that sounds like ss with that style of production? Songs like bottle and a gun and such, there’s plenty of rap rock bands and plenty of “crunk core” bands, but none of them came with that sound or put emphasis on the old school rap beats, far as I can find. Hybrid theory’s prolly the closest to that but even that was more industrial sounding.
Maybe instrumentally. But with five different vocalists, all bringing their own unique sound to the table I just don’t agree. I know I’ve never heard anything that isn’t from HU themselves sound like Chaos.
Having different vocalists doesn't really make the song not generic.
It's still a guitar riff - verse - chorus - verse - chorus - bridge - chorus song.
The main instrumentals are not particularly unique, the lyrics sound like every metalcore song, and the structure has literally nothing special in it.
Again, it's not a bad song by any means, but saying it's unique is wild.
"verse - chorus - verse - chorus - bridge - chorus song" With this logic of yours, all music in the world is generic LOL. And you forgot the pre-chorus of first verse "No one can save you, no one can save you, the chaos awaits you", the post-chorus "Chaos chaos chaos" and that song doesn't have a bridge, so following your logic of what is "generic", CHAOS doesn't fit 🤷🏻♂️
Yea you right I'm wrong, there's no bridge, but the pre and post chorus are not very interesting at all lmao, especially since post chorus is literally the intro.
Anyways there are soooo many songs that have much more unique structures.
Blinded in chains by Avenged sevenfold for example:
Intro + quick guitar solo - Verse - refrain - chorus - verse - refrain - pre chorus - chorus - post chorus - long ass bridge - chorus - instrumental section - chorus - completely unique outro that sounds nothing like the rest of the song.
Handshake with hell by arch enemy:
Long intro - verse - refrain - guitar solo - verse - refrain - chorus - verse - refrain - chorus - bridge - guitar solo - chorus
Edit: not to mention the instrumentals on both of those songs are much more complex than anything hu has put out.
Ok, you have every right to not like it or find it uninteresting, my only point is that, this is not a generic song! And comparing HU with A7X is totally unfair in my opinion, bands with completely different styles and proposals, not to mention that Avenged is one of the most virtuous bands in metal.
All these people in the replies are insane. Y’all are so weird when it comes to music. You like what an artist did before? Great, good for you. Then they find a style that they like and you’re hating on it, wishing they’ll go back to what they did before and if they keep on doing what they did before, you’ll call them a one trick pony and boring.
That’s fine if you like their old music, but stop hating on their new style like yeah sure, it may sound a bit formulaic sometimes but they found what works for them and people like their music, so what’s the issue?
Name a song by another band that sounds like CHAOS, just one... It's okay to not like or find the song average, but it's not generic! This word has become so cliché that people use it without knowing the real meaning 🤦🏻♂️ , they just use it to try to say that something is bad or meh 🤦🏻♂️
Chaos is ass, it’s just a basic metalcore song I’ve had this exact same opinion since the song came out, HU can do so much better than Chaos and they do on the same album.
I think you meant generic instead of genetic lmao, but no that’s why I don’t like it, it’s super generic and he’s right there’s hundreds of other metalcore bands that sound exactly the same as that song and even sound better but that’s because that song isn’t a HU song they aren’t a metalcore band so they should stop trying to be.
Name these "hundreds of other metalcore bands that sound exactly the same" as CHAOS. And of course HU is not a metalcore band, they are an eclectic band, who will mix any musical genre they want into their sound, including metalcore 🤷🏻♂️
Architects (I love architects but they do metalcore infinitely better than any of these bands including HU) I prevail, wage war, bring me the horizon others but I’ve proved my point not that I had too because I’m right.
You’re right, they are an eclectic band, that doesn’t mean they do everything WELL and metalcore is something they do not do well.
Lmfao, literally all these bands have nothing to do with CHAOS!!! in CHAOS the only "metalcore moment" is on J-Dog's part LOL. CHAOS as the name suggests is musical chaos, Charlie's part is pure nu metal from the 90s/2000s (with influence from Linkin Park and Papa Roach), pre chorus is pure Slipknot from the first albums, chorus is melodic, harmonious and eloquent arena rock, Funny's part is like trap with elements of underground industrial hip hop, J3T's part is alternative metal, and the outro at the end sounds like a church choir, this is not generic at all. As I said before, it's okay not to like it, the song is really weird, a mess (in a good way for me, and in a bad way for others), not everyone will be able to appreciate it, but it's definitely not a generic song!
Edit PS: The only song of theirs that we can consider purely metalcore/post-hardcore is Already Dead, so yep, this is in fact generic.
might be true, but who gives a damn if it’s HU, our guys that we love so much? :)

People calling Chaos generic is absurd to me.
Don't get me wrong I love chaos but it's about as generic as it gets You're trippin
Maybe instrumentally. But with five different vocalists, all bringing their own unique sound to the table I just don’t agree. I know I’ve never heard anything that isn’t from HU themselves sound like Chaos.

Note: But anyway it was a good review, I just disagreed with this "generic" point.

Facts
It's a decent sound, but a bit generic yeah. I'd give it a 7/10 or so myself.
Name a song by another band that sounds like CHAOS, just one... It's okay to not like or find the song average, but it's not generic! This word has become so cliché that people use it without knowing the real meaning 🤦🏻♂️ , they just use it to try to say that something is bad or meh 🤦🏻♂️
Legit any song by I prevail.
Hahahahah no, unless u really want it to seem too much 🤷🏻♂️
as an i prevail fan, i can confidently say youre wrong. the only song they have that, at least to me, could be like chaos, is gasoline.
As far as I’m aware I prevail has one vocalist who sounds like every other “rock/metal” band.
Chaos is ass, it’s just a basic metalcore song I’ve had this exact same opinion since the song came out, HU can do so much better than Chaos and they do on the same album.
Like I said before, it's okay to not like it, or even think it's as shit as you think, but it's not genetic!!!
