Really liking Lodestar which they've released along with another track, 'Lost Without Leaders', on Aus iTunes. I'd be interested to hear thoughts on the latter since I can only find a 1.30 minute sample on iTunes.

After thought; I am marginally surprised they didn't throw 'Wake Up' on the album, if only as a bonus track. I guess it might not fit in the overall dynamic of the album but it was a good track, nonetheless.

Yeah shame about no Wake Up but Lodestar is pretty damn swell. Looking forward to this.

There's an acoustic version of "I Am" on the Australian iTunes as well.

Solid track, but the vocals feel a bit directionless. It's a similar issue I had with some of the
material on the debut.

this link doesn't work for me baby gurl

Just copy paste https links, sput breaks them for some reason.

The Veil and Kachina seem to be like the "experimental" songs on the album.

are you guys listening to previews on aus itunes cause i could only preview lost without leaders

Lost Without Leaders is the only song that you can preview. You can also buy the full version but I'm waiting for the album.

sounds good, was expecting something a bit more atmospheric though

how do you figure the veil and kachina are the experimental songs then??

I oversaw that comment

Sounds very good and enjoyable

"how do you figure the veil and kachina are the experimental songs then??"

Weird names. I just imagine them being weird songs. Who knows I could be way off.

Sounds like Coheed. Stoked.

Their drummer is tight.

I fucking love this band. 2013 why u rule so hard?

meh

2013 is gonna have a bunch of beastly albums by the end of the year

Yaaaay I like this band

Very excited for this! Lodestar was pretty good.

"meh"

*Digging Kanye West*

Oh the irony.

Killing it. Fucking love these guys.

stoked for this album! I had no idea they were releasing one.

not my favorite band but it should have a few good jams on it

"*Digging Kanye West*
Oh the irony."

*digging karnivool

far far more ironic.

Does anyone ever use irony correctly?

well let's see:

-situation irony: when something happens that contrasts what is supposed to or expected to happen.

-verbal irony: the most common usage in modern era and is sometimes thought to be the only form of
irony: when someone says something but means something totally different, significantly different
from an inside joke or symbolism

-and my favorite form of irony, dramatic irony: when a character knows something that others do not,
and or when the reader knows something that some or all of the characters do not.

fairly simple concepts but yeah, he did use irony incorrectly.

it's like O Henry and Alanis Morissette had a baby and named it this exact situation

"Does anyone ever use irony correctly?"

Yeah. Me. Cause I'm British.

Hear that Cygnatti? No? That's the sound of the joke going SO INCREDIBLY above your head that it broke
past the exosphere.

"it's like O Henry and Alanis Morissette had a baby and named it this exact situation"
lol

Song sounds like it would fit right in with the last album. Pretty good.

Love it. Can't wait for the album, this band absolutely slays.

I'm on the Internet, I can't hear anything except for the music I'm listening to and the videos I'm watching. So no, I cannot hear you. Sorry.

can't wait

What are you even talking about? You may need to improve your comprehension skills.

It would really do you well to stop feigning idiocy.

At least I can fake it.

P.S. I'm just messing around. It was kinda ridiculous how seriously you took that irony joke though.

Can't we just have friendly conversations about music without trying to piss each other off? xD Looking forward to the new album. It seems to me their old guitarist just used a bunch of delayed rifts from what I heard off their first album and their self-titled EP

"Weird names. I just imagine them being weird songs."

"Weird names. I just imagine them being weird songs."

Dumbest thing I have ever read.

Or maybe plain logic flies over your head? Man, some people on this site must have issues in their lives to spout out hatred so often hahaha.

How does the title of a track have anything to do with what said it sounds like?

Can't we just have friendly conversations about music without trying to piss each other off?

shut up cockface IF YOU DONT LIKE IT YOU CAN GO ELSEWHERE

kinda average, Wake Up slaughtered this song

shut up cockface IF YOU DONT LIKE IT YOU CAN GO ELSEWHERE

HA! Awesome

I dig this, but "Wake Up" was a lot better.

Listening to the track a few more times, I kind of see similarities with 'Disconnect and Apply' and 'Big'. All three are high energy and were released as singles and both 'D'n'A' and 'Big' were far from the strongest on either album, so I'm hopeful this is merely a safe single meant for a wider audience.

Also, another track that seems to have vanished from their new release; Sleepers. I can find (low quality) videos of this track being performed but it doesn't appear to be on the track list for the album. Didn't make the cut, I guess...

"some people on this site must have issues in their lives to spout out hatred so often"

that may help explain a lot

"'D'n'A' and 'Big' were far from the strongest on either album"

wow, that's surprising. Big is probably my favourite song by them but that's probably because I'm a sucker for huge choruses

"some people on this site must have issues in their lives to spout out hatred so often"

lol

reading these comments is another reminder how this site has been plagued by dumbass new users. we used to always have full on conversations about music, not just trying to insult someone all the time

sounds like good times, tis a shame

Good song, but it really doesn't feel any different than their older stuff. I'm hoping to hear more evolution.

"Also, another track that seems to have vanished from their new release; Sleepers."

Apparently that song was renamed to Lost Without Leaders.

still don't get the hype around this band. benzies voice just ruins it for me.. i've really tried liking it
