Anyone else hear Parkway Drive "Sleepwalker" in the intro, and Maiden's "Trooper" in the guitar solo/bridge?

Fun song though. Everything they've done with the new singer I've been a fan of.

I hear both but wouldn't have noticed until it was called out

Not really a rip-off. Sick new twists here. Epic song.

That Trooper ripoff is glaring. Yikes. Band has been a whole lot of whatever since Common Man's Collapse, and this does nothing to change that.

I really like this song overall. It's kinda different but it's really well done. The Iron Maiden part is kinda obvious but I love it just for how unexpected it is.

However that breakdown at the end has little to no connection to the rest of the song and is just obnoxious. "Hey look this is hard to play and has 0 groove".

Hey, that's Veil of Maya. The endings of "Numerical Scheme" and "Vicious Circles" are intensely rhythmic and complicated, but some of their best closings

Used to listen to these guys back in the [id] days but this is pretty generic and bad imo...

apparently the trooper riff was a homage, so it was intentional, dunno about sleepwalking though

Kinda not enthused by this song, nor the fact that they're just releasing singles now without an album announcement.

Apparently they scrapped an entire album in 2019

The only part I'd want to come back to is the outro, and Veil has better breakdowns.
I really wish Okubo didn't take Mansoor seriously when he said "your riffs are like candy."
They started mixing in clean vocals with radio friendly choruses after that. Kinda just sounds like they toned down the indulgence for easier marketing to me, but hey, some people are really into this.
Less synthetic vegetables, more delicacy please.

This song is all over the place tbh, not a fan of the chorus or the Trooper bridge

Hot take I was much more excited about those singles than the new album. I love Outsider and Outrun in particular.
