Awesome!

Sounds cool, like Chester tooks Camp Freddy to the studio.

[lpplus]

I really don't like it.

All STP news is being moved to their subforum instead of the newswire.

 

As for the song, I LOVE IT! Rock is where Chester's voice shines. Whoever is producing knows what he/she is doing because they took advantage that Chester can actually SING and let his raw voice come through. Oh this is going to be on repeat on my iPod probably till I get the EP.

I don't know how I feel about STP news not being in the newswire, especially because I use the live feed all the time.

 

Song is good, though, but Chester's vocal delivery in the first verse irks me a bit. I like that it's not the same style as Out of Time, though, and that bodes well for the potential variety of the EP.

[Astat]

Out of Time was WAY better.

I really like it, I hear Chester in a such song for the first time, and he sounds amazing singing this, of course instrumentally the song sounds very cool too, this shows actually that Chester can sing everything.

Great song! I guess the live debut is going to happen soon, since they already released it, and announced it as the second single off High Rise.

We have a thread for it here.

[Kirstie]

Meh... I don't know, I'm hoping it's a grower or better within the album.

 

Bf: God, that's dull, is that new LP or that other thing?

 

He never listens to me.

[Geki]

I love the song! I wish it was available on iTunes.

[Skipees]

Out of Time was WAY better.

More than agree.

 

The song is cool, but if they chose to release it as a second single, I wonder how the other songs sounds like.

Huge mistake not posting this in the newswire

 

If you are not posting everything about STP, atleast post the most important things like this song!

Confirmed during the STP Video Chat, Black Heart will be in the setlists from now on!

[Numbrocker]

STP tweeted this picture. Looks like it'll be the cover art for Black Heart. I think it fits the vibe of the song perfectly.

I agree. Especially/only if it's new material or big announcements (like album/EP release). There are even important Julien-K news in the newswire.

Most likely because there is literally a black heart on it.

[linkin_boss]

sounds good to me. but yeah, I liked out of time better. anyway, I don't think it fits very well with STP sound, we'll see if the rest of it does.

[Astat]

The song isn't BAD, at least instrumentally...it's just one of those "ho-hum" mid-tempo songs that doesn't really push the envelope much. It kind of reminds me of some of STP's more indie rock-ish stuff from their most recent album with Scott. The biggest letdown is surprisingly the vocals. After Chester's phenomenal performance on Out of Time, I had really high expectations for the rest of the EP, but he honestly just sounds lazy on this track. Not off-key, not a bad melody or anything...he just sounds like he didn't put a lot into this song. Definitely one of the more "phoned-in sounding" vocal performances of his career. Bummer.

haha, I was talking about more of the classic rock look of it.

Sorry you feel that way, I think the song is great!
