""I think that realism is missing from a lot of modern music of any genre, but especially our genre," said singer Jacob Bannon in the song's press release. "Things either go super raw and almost chaotic to the point where it's distracting, or bands take the life out of what they're doing by editing every aspect. Sometimes the perfect take is the one that has some wildness to it.""
"Metalcore is pretty flooded at the moment, and it's a genre that has begun to favor a clean and digitized production aesthetic - particularly among the more prog-oriented purveyors of the style. It's also a genre that requires serious chops, so a track like "Love Is Not Enough" is incredibly refreshing in that it presents pure musicianship of an almost athletic degree."
Converge returned with their first non-collaborative track in four years with "Love Is Not Enough." The song presents a raw and real studio take with no gimmicks or studio shortcuts. Singer Jacob Bannon stated that realism is missing from much modern music and that the perfect take can include some wildness. Modern metalcore increasingly favors a clean, digitized production aesthetic, especially among prog-oriented bands. "Love Is Not Enough" showcases intense, athletic musicianship and leans toward death metal, reclaiming the visceral appeal of extreme music. Honorable mentions include Bad Omens' "Left for Good" and Jay Weinberg's "Sandstone (feat. George Clarke)."
