The song, entitled 'Happy Song', differs from their Sempiternal sound, shifting more towards pop-rock.

I loved Count Your Blessings when it came out, but now if I listen to it, it seems so.... generic. The shock wore off long ago. Suicide Season was okay, didn't bother with the album after that and Sempiternal was okay.
This, though... I don't know what the fuck this is.

Everyone who heared Deathbeds would've felt this one coming. I love the drummer's vibe. I absolutely hate the lyrics, man, I'm sure they can't get any worse. Everything else is okay, I feel like they're trying to pull Deftones' heavy-soft balance on this one and they didn't suceed doing it.

But it's slightly above average, 2.7. Looking forward to hear the album.

I had an inkling after Drown they'd go a little more in this direction. I actually really dug Drown though, but I'd have preferred something more akin to what they're known for than this BMTH-brand genericore.

Pop rock? That guitar tone is way too heavy to appeal to Avril Lavigne fans.

I enjoyed the song. There are stand out elements certainly but they're clearly trying to incorporate different influences into a generic framework. I appreciate that.

Anyway, the mix could afford to boost the vocals a couple dBs. I'd also like them to cut the guitar a couple dBs as well.

I got into BMTH with the release of "There is a Hell", I've slowly come to appreciate SS and even a little bit of CYB. I liked a lot of the songs on Sempiternal as well. I guess I just like this band though and their evolution is interesting

I think it's an enjoyable song TBH - deathcore style (CYB) was too sloppy and they didn't do it all that well, keyboard infused post-hardcore (Semp) wasn't all that enjoyable for me even though I see it as a huge step in their evolution.
But this is fun, it's heavy, his vocals don't sound forced - it's like a much more accessible Suicide Season - and that works for me.

This site is full of the shittiest people.

It's not a bad song. If you prefer their older material, and this isn't your cup of tea, that's fine, but that doesn't make this a bad song. It's also an obvious direction for the band to go. They're not going to make Suicide Season/CYB albums for their whole career. They're young and have achieved quite a bit of success in their time, but there's no real future in their older sound. It may be what myself and a lot of their fans prefer, but I understand why they're going for a more mainstream sound.

Having said that, does this remind anyone else of Norma Jean's The Anti Mother?
