IT LEAKED? ButtBoy, you're the fucking best.

I like Solway Firth the best too, but this isn't too far behind it imo. Unsainted had me worried, it didn't really do much for me.

yeah homie, not sure if I'm allowed to say where it leaked but it's out there. should be easy to find. after one listen I had mixed feelings, then after the second listen it was all I could think about haha. There's a lot to unpack and it's gonna be a grower. Biggg time

also just wanna say, Unsainted is literally the only song of that nature on the album. it's commercial as fuck, but at least it's the only one.

No need to say man, just got the leak now - jamming now, but the first two songs are singles. I'll let you know what I think of this in 40-60 minutes, whenever this finishes. This is the most exciting early morning coffee experience I've had at work in a while, though lol

No idea which single I heard, but it was surprisingly decent so will most likely be checking this. I didn't even like these guys the 'first time around'.

Looking forward to hearing the album. Solway Firth is the best song they've done in 10 years

Ok just finished my first listen. Will have to listen to it again, but I thought it was great on first listen but there were definitely a few songs that made me raise an eyebrow aha - not in a bad way, just in a "what in the fuck are they doing here" kind of way. Have no idea where this ranks yet. Will rejam in a few minutes.

Agreed. I was very turned off by Spiders at first, but then I saw people comparing it to NIN, then I listened again, and realized it's actually pretty fucking cool and catchy.

I know y'all like to forget this for whatever reason, but .5 also had some seriously great riffage. Skeptic and Lech specifically.

Sarcastrophe, AOV, Negative One and some others were jams and a half. I would have loved Skeptic if it weren't for those supeerrrrrr cheesy lyrics that kill it for me.

Speaking of, I am pleasantly surprised by the lyrics this time around. There are a couple of cringy moments, but they're scarce.

Hey man, Grey Chapter had some jams tho

But yeah, this is better than their last two

they sound so focused on the new one. like they knew exactly what they had to do this time, as opposed to albums like AHIG that are just compilations of random songs

"Hey man, Grey Chapter had some jams tho"
Yeah, like 3. The rest of the album is completely forgettable and boring and is a slog to get through. WANYK doesn't have a single bad track besides Unsainted.

Unsainted is ok, but yeah, it's the weakest of the bunch. That speaks volumes about the overall quality of the album.

There's a lot of riff-based stuff coming out but I kind of miss those soaring choruses.

First three tracks off TGC are good, but the rest is really boring and forgettable.

Anyone saying that ^ needs to go back and listen to what's going on in songs like Lech, Nomadic, and Negative One. There is some legitimately good shit on that album.

@ButtBoy I agree with you big time about the NIN comparison on Spiders. Good call dude.

Second half of My Pain is such a trip. Haven't seen that movie tho.

U right putting Solway on repeat until I like the intro

Well, fair enough. I should revisit. Haven’t listened in at least a year and a half or two.

Maybe I'm crazy but I don't remember seeing you around much recently Scuro, if so then pleased to have you back.

Unsainted is fine, but yeah it may be the weakest here tbh. The constant repeating of the chorus gets grating, kind of like it did with Devil In I for me (one of the most irritating songs on that album - it was basically JUST a chorus lol)

And yeah, Sarcastrophe, AOV, Negaative One, Nomadic, etc are all solid as fuck. Album is AT LEAST 65-75% good stuff, but yeah there are some shit songs there as well so I'll give you that. This new one is absolutely better.

I'd have to agree at this point. Much more consistent, less filler, more risks, bigger payoff
