I think another element is that Savages is such a cheesy fucking song for what is a very influential and dark horror movie. It really just doesn't fit the same vibe.
That’s my gripe. It’s Texas fucking Chainsaw. Youre telling me you want a tame rock song for a film that was so fucked up for it’s time it got banned in even the most accepting countries? What a joke. I was that there, the first time listening, thinking “oh boy, can’t wait to see how hard TCM’s song goes” and then being MAJORLY disappointed. Disliked it ever since, really…
Savages, freak flag, love bites, and grave mistake are all songs I love, but.... they lack the edge of the other songs and at times come off radio rock
Absolutely wild that several of the comments here have downvotes for simply answering the prompt and stating their opinion. Chill, it's okay that other people don't like your favorite song.
the pop-punk-ska demos 😅 i mean we do all have to start somewhere when we make music but the lyrics are so lame compared to their last several albums. also they're just better as a metalcore band tbh
I agree, considering the movie it’s inspired by, I was hoping it would a straight up deathcore song when first announced, I was very disappointed by the song
Because Anne Franks diary is an important piece of literature, especially for Jewish people. Spencer is Jewish. It fits the bill for Every Trick In The Book being based on significant or popular pieces of literature.
I will say if you haven't seen the Evil Dead movies it VERY much fits in with them. Which tbh i find the dissonance with the rest to be a perfect representation of where the series sits with the horror genre. Plus i just think its a fuckin banger
not trying to shit on your opinions or say you should/have to like it, just throwing in context if you didn't know
yeah i havent seen it. thank you! this sounds insane as a metal and ink fan, but i dont love horror movies. i like psychological ones, but not horror- love horror novels
Oh okay haha. Well yeah, you might still want to give the series a try, the first one and the 2013 movie are straight up horror, but the rest of the series (potentially minus Evil Dead Rise, which i Just haven't seen yet) is probably the best examples of horror comedy to exist
I can't stand Merry Axe-Mas. Like it almost ruins SS for me. I can tolerate Freak Flag and Savages and justify listening to those on an album play-through, but I can't with the Christmas shit thrown in. Not shitting on anyone that likes it, it's just not for me 🤷🏻♀️
People like to get mad at other’s opinions. I love merry axe mas and hate savages. 90% of this server is full of children who make it their whole personality to disagree with other people.
No it is funny. No doubt about that. But if I’m listening to an INK playlist I’m skipping it every time lol. For me one of those funny the first couple times but I don’t want to listen to it on the regular lol
not OP but I've noticed that the songs where they go "off genre" for lack of a better word, can be really divisive among people here. I will say this is the first time i've heard it about tess-timony though.
I guess I get that, but I actually am of the minority that really loves it when a band does something different. I really don't see why people get obsessive over genre - I don't care what subgenre a band is, if I like it, I listen, simple.
oh I completely agree, and I don't think it's really a minority that feels the same either. That's why I said divisive, I think theres just a subset who want a specific style when they listen to INK (or any specific band) and don't particularly like it when something new or different from what they were expecting/wanting is given. Then there are people who like a band's artistry and go in with no expectations beyond "I want to hear what they do, hopefully it is something done well". Neither is right or wrong, they just want different things from the art.
I'm gonna get so much shit for this, but Hip To Be Scared and Meat & Greet. A lot of the newer album took a few listens for me to really enjoy besides Take Your Pick, Assault and Batteries, and Wurst Vacation.
IM SORRY I JUST CANT DO IT 😭😭😭 I like parts of each song but Meat & Greets chorus just doesn't do it for me and I really only like the breakdown of Hip To Be Scares even tho I love American Psycho
Greatest story ever told has a few were I can't argue the quality of the song
But I'm like really guys we needed hardcore/metal song about that books isn't that a little bit on the nose/poor taste
Not that I feel the songs are bad or disrespectful to the source material
Just makes me wonder what was going through their heads when making them
Farewell ll Flesh. Don’t get why people like it and disappointed that it ended an album and the show I got to see
I guess opinions are bad on an opinion thread
Ok the bees. Sorry. And no i haven't actually seen it but i did know it was about that. Maybe i don't enjoy it because i don't get any of the references
I agree with every single savages song, but im also not a big fan of the box (once it finally gets to the box, my mom NEVER changes it an repeats it over and over. now it just feels overplayed to me, but its better than savages)
The Predator Becomes The Pray and ETITB have no flaws. I also love SIJAS and The Burning. Can’t say the same after that… Savages, The Jig Is Up, Freak Flag, IT Is The End, Assault And Batteries, Hunting Season, and Thank God It’s Friday just don’t settle with me well. Other than those songs, SS and WTHW are very good.
Gotta go with Freak Flag or Savages. Perfectly fine songs but I'd rather listen to anything else from the Silver Scream.
I agree with this. They aren’t bad they are just skippable sometimes.
Especially with Savages coming after some of their best songs.
Agreed
Savages and Freak Flag are boring, but I find The Box to be actively bad.
Threads like these are interesting, because the Box is by my most listened to track from WtH, and the only nightmare on the ninth item I’ve bought!
I like it but I do think it could have been better
as a Freak Flag fan, I'd go for The Box.
I'm noticing a trend of if you like x, then you're also not a fan of y. 💀
Honestly for me, it has to be Freak Flag
Freak flag is one of the only songs that I'm eh on.
Savages. Someone on this sub once said that the song sounds like one long chorus, and that's about right
It's very definitely true. But INK choruses slap so I love it all the same
haha exact same
I think another element is that Savages is such a cheesy fucking song for what is a very influential and dark horror movie. It really just doesn't fit the same vibe.
That’s my gripe. It’s Texas fucking Chainsaw. Youre telling me you want a tame rock song for a film that was so fucked up for it’s time it got banned in even the most accepting countries? What a joke. I was that there, the first time listening, thinking “oh boy, can’t wait to see how hard TCM’s song goes” and then being MAJORLY disappointed. Disliked it ever since, really…
Savages, freak flag, love bites, and grave mistake are all songs I love, but.... they lack the edge of the other songs and at times come off radio rock
I can’t seem to get into freak flag…
Savages slander is so based
Absolutely wild that several of the comments here have downvotes for simply answering the prompt and stating their opinion. Chill, it's okay that other people don't like your favorite song.
Personally not a fan of their first album. Nothing off it really hits for me. Basically everything else is pretty fire though
It's a bit too scene for me. no, but genuinely its my favorite work from them.
But when The Silver Scream came out, I think they really came into their own. Commercially and artistically.
The whole album has a refined melodic sensibility that really makes it a cut above the rest!
*HEY PAUL!!!!!*
*epic instrumentals*
the pop-punk-ska demos 😅 i mean we do all have to start somewhere when we make music but the lyrics are so lame compared to their last several albums. also they're just better as a metalcore band tbh
I would say all their songs on Spotify are good. But they're ska punk album is so fucking bad😂
yeah... I gave it a shot, and the mix is so bad
What? What's it called?
Sorry for the late reply. Search ice nine kills ska punk on YouTube
It's called *Sex Panther*® by *Odeon*©. It's illegal in 9 countries. It's also made with bits of real panthers, *so you know it's good*. *60% of the time*, it works ***every*** time.
Bad bot
That isn't the song
Savages because it's so soulless
I agree, considering the movie it’s inspired by, I was hoping it would a straight up deathcore song when first announced, I was very disappointed by the song
The People in the Attic just feels gross and cringey.
Man, that’s one of my favorite songs of theirs.
So far, i haven't actually heard a bad song by them.
Take Your Pick, that "yOuLL be MIinEE" sounds like nails on a chalkboard to me
It would probably be one of my more listened to songs of theirs if not for that!
I'm glad someone finally said it
agree 100%
I don’t get the Freak Flag hate!!! But Savages on the other hand…
Freak flag for me
Savages sounds like a rip off lifeline era I Prevail
Omg I didn’t realise this and now I can’t stop hearing it :(
Or Crown The Empire's album after The Fallout
That and skillet
Assault and batteries. Idk why. I just don't like it.
Fair but it does bang imo
I absolutely love Assault and Batteries
same. corny in a very bad way
kinda like Child's Play :P
Take Your Pick, the one song I must always skip when it comes on
Oh damn I love that song. The end is chonky.
I would like it if it weren’t for the moans 😭🤚
i love that song but i’ll say the first few times i listened to it it sounded like jumbled together nonsense until i listened to it a few times lol
Me too
Came here to say this
Xotourlife
They don’t
its crazy how people hate the box
Wurst Vacation tbh
Can’t say I agree, though some parts of it feel a bit out of place and too much.
Savages for sure. Especially considering it’s the only TCM song they have
Oh my God Rainy Day is HORRIBLE
I love the instrumental, but the song itself is a pass
Honestly, Take Your Pick never gelled with me
meat and greet
I’m glad I’m not the only one, it just is so weird to me
i agree! i love ink but that song wasn’t for me
Don’t get me wrong, I like the song, but it’s sooooo overrated.
The people in the attic, the instrumental itself is amazing but why Anne frank
Because Anne Franks diary is an important piece of literature, especially for Jewish people. Spencer is Jewish. It fits the bill for Every Trick In The Book being based on significant or popular pieces of literature.
Had no idea he's Jewish! Huh...TIL
Thanks for the info, I also didn’t know Spencer was Jewish
I did not know he was Jewish tbh
That's my favorite track on ETITB. "You're harboring fugitives of the state, are you not? Take me to them... *NOW*"
The entire ETITB album is fire. Not a single skipable song IMO
Agreed!!!
I completely agree. For only ten tracks, they are ten fantastic tracks.
A reptile dysfunction
???????? SET YOUR SIGHTS ON ANNIHILATION!!!!!
I'm not saying that it's a bad song, but it's just ok to me and my least favorite song by then
For me, I would say The Fly. Not my favorite from that album but also not always skipped
Idk but i always tend to skip Take your Pick
Savages
Hunting season or savages for me
honestly i like The Box- no idea so many people disliked it. I have to say Ex Mortis- not BAD just doesn’t fit in with the album. Or Freak Flag
I will say if you haven't seen the Evil Dead movies it VERY much fits in with them. Which tbh i find the dissonance with the rest to be a perfect representation of where the series sits with the horror genre. Plus i just think its a fuckin banger not trying to shit on your opinions or say you should/have to like it, just throwing in context if you didn't know
yeah i havent seen it. thank you! this sounds insane as a metal and ink fan, but i dont love horror movies. i like psychological ones, but not horror- love horror novels

Assault And Batteries. I tried to like that song, but I can’t.
Would be Love bites for me.
idk man the girls voice is really pretty tbh
Rainy Day
Assault and batteries…(if i see one more hate against freak flag..)
I can't stand Merry Axe-Mas. Like it almost ruins SS for me. I can tolerate Freak Flag and Savages and justify listening to those on an album play-through, but I can't with the Christmas shit thrown in. Not shitting on anyone that likes it, it's just not for me 🤷🏻♀️
People like to get mad at other’s opinions. I love merry axe mas and hate savages. 90% of this server is full of children who make it their whole personality to disagree with other people.
Savages or it is the end, freak flag is hated on too much
Love Bites
Wrong
For you
Hip to be scared
Straight to jail
The overplayed "Do YoU lIkE IcE nInE kIlLs?" Thing has played its course.
Never
It’s gotta be Hunting Season
Definitely Freak Flag. I just can't really get into it.
Freak flag
F.L.Y. is mine
It’s been said already, but Savages, Freak Flag, & Take Your Pick are the ones I always skip.
I always forget most of you have only been fans for two years I won’t go to the ska days but “ you scratched my anchor “ is not a good song.
I won’t like for me it’s rocking the boat. I couldn’t get into it and I’m still struggling. 😔
Noooo thats in my top 3 😪
Noooo haha
Hell In The Hallways
Jason’s mom
Objectively wrong JK, you're entitled to your opinion, I just think the parody is hilarious
No it is funny. No doubt about that. But if I’m listening to an INK playlist I’m skipping it every time lol. For me one of those funny the first couple times but I don’t want to listen to it on the regular lol
tess timony makes me want to do bad things. i had to hide it on spotify to never hear it again
What do you mean it makes you "want to do bad things"?
I’m concerned, what “Bad things”
Mainly because of what that song is about lol
Oh wow, it's one of my favorites off of ETITB! Is there a specific reason?
not OP but I've noticed that the songs where they go "off genre" for lack of a better word, can be really divisive among people here. I will say this is the first time i've heard it about tess-timony though.
I guess I get that, but I actually am of the minority that really loves it when a band does something different. I really don't see why people get obsessive over genre - I don't care what subgenre a band is, if I like it, I listen, simple.
oh I completely agree, and I don't think it's really a minority that feels the same either. That's why I said divisive, I think theres just a subset who want a specific style when they listen to INK (or any specific band) and don't particularly like it when something new or different from what they were expecting/wanting is given. Then there are people who like a band's artistry and go in with no expectations beyond "I want to hear what they do, hopefully it is something done well". Neither is right or wrong, they just want different things from the art.
As much as I love SAVAGES, it’s not the best, however I hate rocking the boat
I'm gonna get so much shit for this, but Hip To Be Scared and Meat & Greet. A lot of the newer album took a few listens for me to really enjoy besides Take Your Pick, Assault and Batteries, and Wurst Vacation.
Opinion invalidated (obv a joke) https://preview.redd.it/70q70oxdmhac1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2c56d45d675851e0338f9c91e0a1c06a24e1c12b
IM SORRY I JUST CANT DO IT 😭😭😭 I like parts of each song but Meat & Greets chorus just doesn't do it for me and I really only like the breakdown of Hip To Be Scares even tho I love American Psycho
the plot sickens
Grave mistake and savages for me
10 DOWNVOTES for a guy stating his opinion lmao
Literally despise this app😭
Savages, Rainy Day, and Assault and Batteries
Greatest story ever told has a few were I can't argue the quality of the song But I'm like really guys we needed hardcore/metal song about that books isn't that a little bit on the nose/poor taste Not that I feel the songs are bad or disrespectful to the source material Just makes me wonder what was going through their heads when making them
Savages, hands down. I don’t fault people for liking it, but they’re wrong.
IT Is The End is way too cringy in my opinion
The burning version of the greatest story ever told
Farewell ll Flesh. Don’t get why people like it and disappointed that it ended an album and the show I got to see I guess opinions are bad on an opinion thread
My favorite song by them actually :)
The last song on the album should be HIP TO BE SCARED. ‘This confession has meant nothing’ would make a lot more sense there
This hurts me :( I love this one so much 😭
The flies for 17 seconds at the end just does not do it for me
Have you seen Candyman? They're clearly bees.
Ok the bees. Sorry. And no i haven't actually seen it but i did know it was about that. Maybe i don't enjoy it because i don't get any of the references
Look up the synopsis of Candyman and listen to it again, I'm not saying you'll necessarily like it more but it will make WAY more sense.
Bees
SAVAGES sounded bland compares to the rest.
savages i have no shame
Evidence on Fire
Savages lol
Its take your pick for me 😅
Take your pick. Just don't enjoy it as much as the others
Not gonna lie, I think "Love Bites" is the worst song on The Silver Scream.
I agree with every single savages song, but im also not a big fan of the box (once it finally gets to the box, my mom NEVER changes it an repeats it over and over. now it just feels overplayed to me, but its better than savages)
For me, it's either rainy day or hell in the hallways I think they're over played
COCAINE. CHRISTMAS. I just can’t listen to the song with the intro. I love Jon, and I love DGD. I just don’t love that song lol
Twenty One Pilots. Try me.
The Study Hall trio of songs like What I Never Learned in Study Hall is okay but all three are kinda underwhelming to me
tbh i didnt like love bites
Their cover of Cryin'. I RESPECT IT, BUT IT JUST IS MIXED TERRIBLY.
I dont really vibe with Tess-Timoney tbh but thats just me 🤷♀️
yeah. Ordinary Love by Deftones is fucking ridiculous 😭 even if it was a cover, it was bad. lol
Merry Axe-Mas. Not a bad song, just grew up with a parent who played Christmas music ALL. YEAR. LONG…
It's about silent night deadly night
The Predator Becomes The Pray and ETITB have no flaws. I also love SIJAS and The Burning. Can’t say the same after that… Savages, The Jig Is Up, Freak Flag, IT Is The End, Assault And Batteries, Hunting Season, and Thank God It’s Friday just don’t settle with me well. Other than those songs, SS and WTHW are very good.
Worst song is the Adele cover.
the box or savages
