YMMV / Code Orange

• Broken Base: Depending on who you ask, Love Is Love/Return to Dust is a great hardcore album and everything that succeeds it is generic beatdown trash, or the opposite way around.
  • Forever. Cool and unique evolution of their sound, or a horrible mistake and the point where it became clear that it was their life's mission to write WWE entrance themes and emulate Ozzfest second-stage openers?
  • Underneath. Forever but better and more focused, or a throwback to the absolute worst kind of nu metal and industrial rock that sounds like an entire album of cut tracks from the Daredevil and Queen of the Damned soundtracks?
  • "Out for Blood". A fun slice of retro-style industrial rock and tongue-in-cheek homage to Y2K sounds and aesthetics, or the point where they discarded everything interesting and creative about their current sound to cater to the absolute lowest common denominator by lazily copying the sort of music that was terrible back in 2001 and has aged like milk since then?
  • They're either an interesting, innovative hardcore band for their mixing of genres, sellouts or annoying tough guy hardcore kids.
• Growing the Beard: I Am King and Forever is where the band would leave the sludge-oriented Hardcore Punk and move into a more diverse Metalcore sound that would define them.

  • For bassist Joe Goldman, the trope is literal

• Narm: "This is real now, motherfucker!"
• Special Guest: Corey Taylor of Slipknot and Stone Sour fame appears on "The Hunt" as a guest vocalist.
