What Happened Billy Talent?
Before I write this paragraph I want to make it clear that I am a Billy Talent Fan. Billy Talent 2 & 3 were very popular in my friend groups in our early teen years. But over the past couple albums it has become clear that they do not have a clear destination. I felt that Afraid of Heights had some of the best Billy Talent Songs (Ghost Ships & The Crutch) while simultaneously being a boring album over all. Crisis of Faith is no different, but it doesn’t have the songs. There are some redeeming qualities on this record but other than …Wrong People most songs just miss the mark. Billy Talent came out of the gate with a different sound, something so unique that it couldn’t be duplicated. I will never fault a band for changing it up, for trying something new. It’s crazy to me when “fans” of music fault their favourite artists for make some changes to avoid releasing the same album with worse songs. That’s the big issue with Butt Rock bands. There are no more consistent bands than Butt Rock bands & that’s why they suck. I think the reason why I like Song People so much because I think that this is an example of a song that is a refreshing change of pace. Crisis of Faith is a rollercoaster of the mediocrity & I think fans need to start being honest with themselves
