production is a hell of a lot better than the last 2 albums. The kick drum doesn't make me feel sick for one

These guys know how to groove, but yeah production has never been a strength. This one sounds better though. Decent track too, much more straight forward though.

Great song, but why did you post a topic video instead of the lyric video on Century Media's youtube page?

I knew a new song was being released today, this just happened to be the first video that came up when I searched on YouTube.

Monuments singles have always done best within the context of the album. I remember when "I, Creator" and "Origins of Escape" came out I could take them or leave them, but within the context of the album they are crazy good. I really enjoyed this song and I think it's going to hit even harder with the rest of the songs to follow.

Cleans didn't ruin the song, but weren't my cup of tea. I actually thought some stuff off their last LP was cool, but not anything to spam my entire list of music friends with.

Pretty bleh. I really liked the last album aside from the production sounding like ass. This is boring though.

Chorus cleans sound weird. Don't feel so hot about that.

Rest of the song is solid though; this thing grooves.

I wouldn't worry too much about the production. YouTube is known to completely mess up audio mixes, and Browne's said something to that effect.

Looking forward to the full album. Their stuff is always better as a whole.

If he uses those cleans on every track the album is going to suck.

People need to shut the fuck up about YouTube fucking up mixes / audio, it changes virtually nothing

Chris's cleans are fantastic! Lyrics are a bit high school angst tho.

"song not available, nice url you got there."

And this is exactly why I brought up the topic video being an odd choice lol

Song is decent, not as good as anything on the last album but Chris sounds great

Agree the cleans are a little weird but this sounds like pretty standard Monuments song. Hope they switched things up a bit on the rest.

Why us anybody complaining about the cleans? Amanuensis has cleans on every song and Chris kills them. Seriously, have people not heard this band before?
