“Anyone that thinks Karl is better than Jesse is a wiener”

Jesse sounds exactly like Karl now so it really doesn’t matter which vocalist they have

Song was a bit too one note, hope the rest go more places

This is good but it definitely seems like Misery Signals are moving in the same direction a lot of modern core acts are moving towards.
More dense, more chugs, more jarring albeit pleasant atmospheric sections.
Its good but Misery Signals is definitely at their best with their more melodic side imo

Song is awesome. Jesse sounds great and the Morgan brothers are bringing the goods.

However, I do hope the album has some of the more unorthodox, melodic sections with w/ Karl's spoken word that Malice had.

Dude if you think Jesse is doing something amazing here that Karl never did you’re deluding yourself lol

They sound nearly identical, Jesse very subtly slips into a slightly higher register a couple of times but it’s barely noticeable

I was hyped, but Jesse seems almost as monotone as Karl did, and the instrumentals are the most boring I ever recall them being. I'm expecting mediocrity at this point.

Misery signals always seem to drown the best parts about them (heaviness +melodic, atmosphere) in bland metalcore cliches. And unfortunately, they are still doing that.

This song is no way near as good as the first one they put out. A little worried about the album now. I mean, they're never going to recapture Malice, even with the original lineup. Specific circumstances and emotions allowed for the creation of that album. I still miss the bass tone they had from Malice as well. That set them apart from a lot of the other bands in the genre. This song was pretty generic.

Agree with this 100%. Still absolutely stoked for the album.

I just hope that this isn't extremely indicative of the rest of the album. It's a decent song and I think it could make more sense next to some other tracks on the album, but really I just want something that's in between Of Malice and Mirrors. I fucking LOVE the uplifting and emotional, yet technical nature of that album. This reminds me a bit of Controller meets Absent Light, and in hindsight they are the albums I like the least from Misery Signals. Absent Light had that awful clicky bass drum that bothers me a lot though, and Controller had that production value that I thought was SO good when it came out, but now I feel like it lacks some dynamics.

Liked The Tempest a lot more too, but I like how good Jesse sounds here. I always liked Jesse from an emotional delivery-standpoint, but Karl just SOUNDED so good. Now Jesse has pulled the best from himself and Karl basically, so I don't miss Karl as much as I thought I would.

I wouldnt say Jesse sucks at all. He's great, but that part about him not having the power of Karls voice is why its so easy to distinguish the two from each other.
