Bring Me The Horizon: Ranking Every Album Worst To Best

7. Amo

In 2019 it seemed that BMTH had gone completely off the deep end when it came to diversifying their musical style. Whilst innovation should be applauded, and most of this article will attest to that, the band’s sixth studio album, Amo, went a little too far.

Despite their many different sounds, BMTH were always a rock band, in some form or another. In anticipation of Amo, their first single from the record, Mantra, was released. This song had a killer riff, a catchy chorus and even a bit of screaming. Great, fans thought, until they picked up the full album to discover that BMTH had become a pop group.

Most of this new album wouldn’t have sounded out of place on Capital, between tracks from the likes of Twenty-One Pilots and Billie Eilish. It was a far cry from the norm for a band previously known for songs such as Pray for Plagues and Off the Heezay.

The reception from fans was poor, to say the least. They may have been able to adjust to change, but they weren’t quite ready for chart music. Given the band released a return-to-form album in the following year, it’s likely they too realised that Amo was, in the nicest way possible, a bit naff.
