2. Structures are a post-rock band from Tamworth, UK. (we’re moving over to Structures (UK) so that people who’re wanting to listen to our particular brand of post-rock aren’t bombarded by the prog metal leanings of Structures (Canada) and vice versa…I’m sure both our fans and theirs will be happy about this. ”Together we are omnipresent, post-rock, white noise, stoner, electonic, glitch, sound, soundscapes, non-scapes, silence, visuals, avant garde, ourselves. Together we stand to make a statement. Together we push the boundries a little further. No compromise.” http://www.structuresband.co.uk/

Structures UK has changed its tags to Structures (UK) to avoid confusion, http://www.last.fm/music/+noredirect/Structures+%28UK%29)

3. Structures is a french post-punk band from Amiens, France.

Structures Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Our lives are nothing but a means to an end
And when the ground cracks beneath your feet
You will find the only thing that's left is peace of mind
Or any other fucking kind

I've been reciting this with an imminent gaze
And no I don't know if you've got it in you but life will be the fucking death of me
This is all just a repetition

To everyone, make it a mission to be the change you want to see

Lay down the foundation and where you wish to be
I promise that it won't be the place you'll find me

Get ready for the calm, before the storm
Buried beneath the walls, get ready for the calm I say
Have you seen the things that we've been seeing?
Our lives are nothing but a means to an end
Have you seen what I've seen?

Get ready, buried beneath the walls
Today resigns the peace through our decisions

This is a calling to arms
We cannot face our decisions in favor of you
This is a calling to arms
We cannot face our decisions

Don't you think it's time to go home?
You're always running from it
This is what it feels to be torn
But death will beat you to it

Don't you think it's time to go home?
This is what it feels to be torn

And this is how it is
I bet You never saw this coming

Very well said. I say a "true fan" would appreciate the progress and improvement of this song from the original version. I like their old EP but holy shit Divided By is one of the greatest CDs I've ever listened to.

Have you ever thought that clipping was made deliberatly? In order to make this kind of sound

Devin Markovich

Clipping?

Grooveslap

I always said the same. Their audio always clipped so much compared to any standard metal mix but I enjoyed it, specially with the limited volumes our devices had during this release

Fia's Workshop

I also love that they dont scoop their mids like idiots do lol

The quality of this album is phenomenal, yet overproduced. All of The Above had a better balance of all the instruments. And personally I can't get over how sloppy the sweeps are in this version of "Encounter" compared to the EP's. Structures is without a doubt one of my favorite bands, but this album could have done better production-wise.

Fia's Workshop

dude no, this is how it would sound live back when they played this, get outta here.

@TCrowe729 Yes because this sounds just like Asking Alexandria. Rise records bands usually change but I doubt Structures will turn Metalcore.

HURRDURR MY NAME'S MANMEAT05 AND I KNOW NOTHING ABOUT SOUND. It's painful. 'Cause, you know, bass is all that can cause clipping, right? And if you turn it down the brick wall 0db threshold disappears, right? Setting your speakers to play something differently it'll have virtually no effect on clipping. If you think otherwise you're slow. Changing knobs for bass and treble on speakers are just passing a mix through another equalizer. It EQ's OVER the mix, including the clipping.

@BrotimusPrime if you turn the youtube volume down to halfway during playback, the clipping is still very much there. it's a bad engineering job, everyone's speakers are just fine.

@Joelisonfire Seriously, the "everything after their first/second ep/album sucked" mentality is such bull shit. It happens with most good bands too. It just takes the stupid fans 6 months to a year to comprehend the potential of the album.

@BarYaariSupa Man I am not an idiot. That what 100% Sarcasim guess it's hard to tell on youtube but still, no one is that stupid :) Plus Asking Alexandria is Metalcore, this is progressive hardcore arguably.

@TCrowe729 Sumerian has nothing to do with the sound of the band. The way the band sounds is decided by them and the producer they record with, Sumerian just funds it and promotes them. Get educated before you speak.

@MorningRise90 this isn't even hardcore.

of course this version shits on the older one its fucking newer they are better. It has better little tidbits here and there that they got to go over again. But clipping, is clipping. Its fact. It has nothing to do with headphones and you bringing that up as the argument shows how little you know yourself. Fans have every right to complain, structures is a very detailed, layered, deep band, and having it recording in such a heavier way drowns out the complexity in things at times. Still waters >

Dahsy Ekeap

I agree with everything except where you said this shits on the older version. Like I wouldn't exaggerate that

Man who cares Asking Alexandria is a generic band that sucks ass. They sound very Metalcore. Their facebook says Metalcore/ Screamo. So lets just chaulk it up to that they are terrible and generic. But some of reckless and relentless is alright.
