Yeah I agree, that chorus is a hell of an earworm but the song doesn't have much else going for it. Who knows tho it'll probably grow on me like this did.

Great track, they are pretty much making a blueprint on how to become more "commercial" without completely selling out and losing integrity

I wish mixing for "Dante" was a bit better. I listened to Discoveries today, and the production on the entirety of that album was way cleaner than the single.

i even think this sounds better than the new song. having putney work with them is moving backwards imo since them doing this alll on their own allowed them to really fully go crazy on the synths. the new song scales that back for the guitars to stand out more but the guitars dont do anything in the song lol

Yeah, Putney isn't the greatest with production. At least with Vein FM, it sounded natural and it fits with the atmosphere of This World is Going To Ruin You, but with Northlane is just a disaster.

Putney is overworking himself at this point, love the dude but some of his works lately have seemed phoned in and artificial.

That chorus is just wow... The rest of the song is pretty solid too.

putney is super hit or miss. some really good prod jobs but a ton of mid (and even stinkers). never understood why so many bands wanna work with him

The single rips there’s just enough flavor musically to keep it interesting. Band is so good at what they do

New song is great. Hope any new album trends more towards Alien than Obsidian though.

God damn that is one of the best chorus' I've heard from them. One of my biggest complaints with Obsidian is some boring as all hell choruses (Echo Chamber). Hopefully the choruses keep up this level, cause I'm not opposed to the electronic sound they're leaning more and more into.

I wish the new one had infected me as much as yall. I dig it but I’m not in love with it. Echo chamber on the other hand still has an iron clasp on my ⚽️ 🏀

echo chamber is the worst song off the past 4 albums and its mere existence leaves me questioning all of the praise for marcus' singing (which even at its best is always secondary to the instrumentals)

the "praying i go deaf" line makes me think it's a deliberate choice to be as shrill and annoying as possible to fit the theme, but being bad intentionally is still being bad

I still don't understand who listened to that flat ass production and said "Yeah! Thats what we need to introduce our new singer with!"
