Hell yeah... song's great and dallas is killing it in the chorus.

Glad to see they're not re-using the singles they released in the last few years.

I'm seeing them live in a couple of weeks; guess I'll get see something off of this.

Loving this tune, sounds killer. Hoping most of the album isn't so Dallas-centric but even still I'm really digging this.

Good stuff, better than the singles they've been dropping over the past couple years. Falls in line more with Season which was the best of the three.

Wasn't a fan of what they were doing with Familiar Drugs or Complicit

Not bad. Interested in seeing how a whole album works with their newer sludgy-groove heavy style. The singles were ok but haven't gone back to them much.

Side note: Dog's Blood came out in 2010??? I would have guessed like 2017

favorite band, great song. Sounds like a continuation of Dogs Blood with more Dallas focus which should be awesome if this is how the whole record sounds. One of the most consistent and unique bands making this type of music imo.

It’s 2022, Alexisonfire is coming out with a new album, Funeral for a Friend is playing shows, Scary Kids Scaring Kids are back, A Skylit Drive has reunited with their original lineup. What is happening?

@onionbubs how can Complicit be your least favourite AOF song when Crisis, You burn first and Keep it on wax exists? Not to mention the entirety of OC/YC

Well...don't forget Secret & Whisper reunited...also the new Scary Kids is probably the worst thing ever.

Grungy Alexis is some of my favorite Alexis but I also love me some George shireks. The first record has grown on me so much since i was a teenager.

"@onionbubs how can Complicit be your least favourite AOF song when Crisis, You burn first and Keep it on wax exists? Not to mention the entirety of OC/YC" i know u didnt say shit about my homies crisis, keep it on wax and you burn first! crisis is a hard 5 for me brother

oc/yc is kinda wack outside of the northern yea but complicit like doubles down on what i dont like about that album with worse prod, instrumentation and melodies (dallas suuucks on that song lol)

Did they steal an alternative Deftones album cover? Or did they buy it from Deftones? Those are the only two options.

yeah You Burn First and Crisis are really really good. This Could Be Anywhere in the World and We are the Sound are bottom two imo. This could be anywhere… is a good single but I’d rather anything else instead. Like the chorus has a nice swell to it but it’s just a bit heavy-handed overall

new song’s dope. so happy they’re back

oc/yc isnt even really that bad its just not good enough ya feel. even back in high school the only songs i rlly loved outside of the northern were the opening duo, which i think are j solid now

no mediocre songs on crisis ahrd 5. only way they coulda improved that bih is by sequencing thrones in

very thankful they reunited for i was like 11 when they broke up and had no idea who they were, thus giving me the opportunity to see happiness by the kilowatt live at all which transcended the heavens

artwork is beyond horrendous ya

Maybe it's because I'm 30 now but this goes in for me. George sounds like he did on Crisis, Dallas is peaking, riffs are droning but in a good way... this is great stuff and promising for the full album.

yea i fuckin looooove this song man i swear this is. massssive fuckin chorus that is always stuck in my head paired w maybe dal's best vocal performance yet and the part at the end where he and george are goin off at the same time is the kind of shit i live for when it comes to this band
