They really couldn't pick a better thumbnail?

anthony green making awkward as fuck faces while singing is part of his charm

Both songs sound good, but I don't want to listen to Anthony layered over himself in different vocal styles over and over for an entire album. I really hope they have more tricks up their sleeve than that.

Where are the riffs?

I dont know... since anthony green got big with circa survive and saosin got old and disappeared in "the scene", it seems a bit weird now.

It automatically feels like Circa Survive and a new Circa Survive Song. Especially with their last album "Descensus". The singing melodies are almost the same. And the instrumentals, songwriting and guitar-riffs in this song are also not that special and interesting.

Waiting patiently for pre-post-post-hardcore. This is incredibly boring!

This stuff isn't even coming close to their S/T for me and forget about recapturing Translating. Just hope it's not a failure at this point I guess.

Better than their last imo but that's not saying a whole lot. FUCK I really wanted to like this album like really really really. And tbh I don't think I could sit through straight 30-40 mins of Anthony's voice either. I guess it's dumb of me to think he was gonna go back to the way he sung like 10+ yrs ago

I'm not a fan of Anthony, but I could get over it if they were riffing like they were back on their self titled album, but this doesn't even come close to that.

Idk I thought the riff was good, and Anthony sounds great

good luck with that.

kinda dull

I liked it, but I am a Anthony Green fanboy. I'm still excited for the album.

Album is going to be a boring melodic vocal layer wank fest like tge last two Circa Records

Bummer this is kinda bland and I'm a Circa fan too.

Agree that they need the riffs of their s/t

someone 'shop that thumbnail if you know what I mean;)

It's not even just the riffs from the self titled, it's as though they totally forgot how to write a good chorus.

Decent. First single is better in my opinion.

Yo when the fuck did Zac Efron start singing for Saosin?

Mehhh, losing luster.

Luckily the drummer is still killing it.

drumming is the only good thing about this

"Luckily the drummer is still killing it."

I love that guy. Shame everything around him is so lackluster. His playing was a big highlight of their S/T for me.

Man this is disappointing

Nothing about this is interesting. It's just kind of there. It just feels like stuff happens and then it ends.

Oh well.

He was the highlight of the S/T. It's a shame they've been so inactive for so long, the guy is a champion. Needs his own band.

Once again just a Circa song with screaming...

is anyone gonna acknowledge the other side of these 'sounds like circa' comments?

circa has not been good for the last 6 years now

Yeah, they've been fantastic.

I was very into the post-hardcore scene when these guys were active. Didn't like them then and don't get all the hype then or now.

'circa has not been good for the last 6 years now'
Get the fuck out of here. I wasn't as big on Blue Sky Noise as a lot of people and Violent Waves was a little subdued, but they were both decent releases. Descensus, though, was fantastic, so....

Descensus was pretty plain af honestly

this is actually pretty fucking nice

kinda hated this :/

no riffs ? crazyness. I think its more the production that hides them, in their self titled the production emphasized the guitars. Theres definitely some sick riffs in this song.

lol I said good not decent. they're not even decent now either. bands quality fell off a cliff
