jammed this a bunch already and i still think the hook is ass lmao dude sounds like he wandered into the vocal booth drunk. musically better than pale iris but nothing amazing. jt sounds phenomenal tho

im guessing this isnt going to be the self titled follow up of my hopes and dreams, but hopefully ill get a couple of bangers outta it

"Longing for a wish or a cure."
Weird phrasing. If you want a cure, you want a cure. If you want a wish, you want a wish.
But a wish or a cure, that's strange.

That’s just Erra lyrics honestly. They’ve always been a little more out there

I think you're right. I only know their previous album but their lyrics seems very abstract.

They really rose to the top of the pile with that last record. Solid song.

@KevinKC That's Jesse for ya. I don't mind the word salad-y lyrics though, sets Erra apart from a lot of core bands in the scene

@Nordic oh 100%. Self-titled definitely put them on top. Don't know if this album will match those heights, but I'm expecting a banger

Yeah, I don't mind word salad lyrics, if it works, it works. If it doesn't it doesn't.
I really enjoyed their previous album too. I listened to it a lot of times and still don't know any of the tracks name because I would just play it from beginning to end.

the lyrics on the last album were like 90% great 10% incredibly stupid to the point that they become great

I like what they tried to do with the chorus but it just doesn't hit for me after a couple listens. Verses are ok but basic. Not super feeling this one to be honest, feels lazy for the most part.

I am not a fan of this new’ish era Northlane guitar tone that a lot of bands are replicating now. When done absolutely great it can work but unless it’s incredibly unique and memorable guitar work it all starts to sound the same

Jesse is an absolute god in the genre so I’m not trashing his playing, more so his production choices

Pretty dissapointing song. Still holding out hope for the full album as their self titled is the best in their whole discography, so hopefully they'll continue along that path

Touche on the "longing for a wish or a cure" comment. Makes me think of why JT is a solid harsh vocalist- all emphasis and diaphragm. LONGING FOR A WISH OR A KYURRRR

jt does sound very very good on this

production is also great. it is odd how they have the exact opposite problems as they did like two albums ago lol

Their self-titled record was fantastic, and "Pale Iris" released last year looked to be keeping the same momentum. I'm not crazy about this one though. It's nothing bad at all per se, it's just unremarkable. Even their self-titled record had a song or two that weren't as strong as the others, so maybe this is the one on their new record.

It was a song to listen to that I didn’t make. Can’t complain. The guitar part at 3:07 is so rad

The most bargain bin Erra song I ever heard

they are undeniably chilling much closer to the bargain bin for comfort. hopefully dropping the longest track on the album next week will be something more exciting

just need a hook that doesn't remind me of fuckin thornhill or currents or whatever

I've never enjoyed this band but this isn't...bad per say. just very formulaic and bland. could be worse though

Both new songs are solid but they're definitely a step down from S/T

New single out! “Blue Reverie”, and it’s way chiller and atmospheric in sound. I dig it, it’s pretty different from Cure and Pale Iris, but it pulls it off imo

Definitely a better song than this imo.
