Obviously better than anything else released for this so far, but definitely not great. Passable. And is this the second song from this album that has a middle finger raised lyric? C’mon Rob.

Has a couple of solid riffs but Robb's vocals are getting so try-hard. The music video looks like some rejected footage shot for a shitty mid-90's euro-dance band.

Improves as it goes on (not a fan of the intro), I like the soft part @ 2:49 -3:13. It's better than Bastards and Beyond the pale but for me the title track is the best of the new tracks so far.

I'm one of those guys who like The Burning Red and Supercharger, but com'on Rob.. even you must know this is not good in this times.. how can you go from The Blackening to this?

I can't figure out how I feel about this song. It has elements that are laughably bad but it also has elements that work for a few brief moments. Either way, I swear these guys are trying to burn the good will they achieved with Ashes onward.

I feel like at least one song on the album should have lyrics like this: ''What did you say punk? Smack you around bitch! don't you dare disrespect!!!'' or something similar.

the chorus sounds like it was ripped from a pop punk band and Rob's just too proud to admit it, even though his vox can't keep up with all the chord changes.

Something else I noticed recently: The chorus is definitely influenced by BMTH's Sempiternal album.

"I really thought Nuclear Blast had standards lol, maybe MH is too big a name for them to be like "we aren't selling this shit"."

Some people might want to point out Surgical Meth Machine. But at the same time, I wouldn't because it's pretty clear Al was just out to piss people off with that album and I prefer to believe Nuclear Blast were in on the joke, hence all the videos they posted about it at the time.

OK so, so far we have:
Beyond the Pale (Strapping Young Lad - Love?)
Bastards (any folk-punk song e.g. The Pogues or something)
Kaleidoscope (something from Bring Me the Horizon - Sempiternal)
Volatile (Chimaira - Cleansation)

This song is terrible, it doesn't even sound like Triple Beam. In fact the rest of the album doesn't either for some reason.

This song would actually be pretty catchy if Robb wasn't basically singing 'my love for you is like a truck, berserker'
