I also hope they go in a new direction, though WS and DS were great. The new single showed a more restrained side which I liked. Very nice song.

Really liked the new song, a little more raw, a bit less new age-y.

All I want is something different from their recent two albums. WS is great but I didn't want another one of those lol

I actually think it's more of the same. It's good, but I'm really hoping they took some risks on here. Some cool electronic elements, some dark as fuck moments. Obviously the single isn't always an accurate representation of the entire album.

"Anathema return with darkest material to date on new album 'The Optimist'"



On their fb page. I know this is normally BS from the band, but this has gotten me a bit more excited about the album

Yeah with that title I am sure it'll doom harder than Serenades.

Maybe they wanted to throw us off with that title. Because the artwork doesn't look all that optimistic

Lightning song is amazing, as is every song on W'S. I think gathering of the clouds a ridiculously underrated. The vocal layering and orchestration combination is genius.

I want to love WS but it just sounds like a worn out version of this to me : /



Distant Satellites tried some new things but it just didn't engage me at all.
