  1. If that's the case, I really hope it is more NCSM-level melody than Battle Symphony-level melody ^^' Taking production out of the equation and on a pure melodic level, the first gives me the chills, while the second never did much for me.
  2. I'll wait this one out for the sake of the album experience, but I still really enjoy reading the reactions. Song has been compared to so many different songs already in the chatbox, it's interesting to see how different people hear different things. But what I can make up is that it'll be a more mellow tune, with a MTM twist to it instrumentally, and a very catchy chorus. That's cool. Kind of though they'd go for a more accessible tune on this one, before going berzerk on Casualty.
  3. Probably you only receive it if you're located in the UK.
  4. Things are about to get busy, between the reviews from the listening party, the live shows, the new single, etc. Fun times ahead.
  5. Next one is in Mexico !
  6. Yup I'm thinking the same. Definitely makes more sense now than as a first, or even 2nd single. First a gentle introduction, and then a full-on track.
  7. Awesome man! Thanks to you and your friends for the mission!
  8. Interesting re-reading my old quote, I'm super happy my suspicions were wrong.
  9. So, it seems like the sessions with Emily and Colin had been going on for quite a while already and solidified as a 5 units, before Brad warmed up to it and joined. By extension, it seems that Brad, for a while, was in that weird position of "Alright, the 3 guys are in, Rob is out. What do I do ?". Must have been a challenging situation to be in. And I am so glad he eventually joined!
  10. That's a must listen. Great dive into how they experienced the last few years on a personal level, with a few details about the new album as well.
  11. All is set up for "From Zero" being a huge success, especially if the 3rd single is another win.
  12. The way I look at it, AO is similar in many ways to the new LP songs, and kind of foreshadowed the whole thing. Similar guitar tone, upbeat, energetic, super catchy, dark twist. Put Emily on AO and it's basically an LP.2 song.
  13. That's a crazy line-up, damn.
  14. As it stands, there is approx 26 min of unheard new music coming in November. Anything less than 25 would, to me, make it feel more like discovering an EP. I'm using this as motivation to keep the rest of the record unheard until november ^^'
  15. I'd give a lot of money to be able to get that 9-track Xero demo CD with Carousel, Slip, Pointillism, etc. I may be in a minority, but I think the studio recordings of Xero (Rhinestone, Esaul, Pictureboard, Fiends) sound pretty dope for what they were. I would love to have more of that. A bit sad to know the ods are like 0.001% lol
  16. The fact some of those songs were started many, many years ago is an exciting prospect. I mean, the only other time where the band collected material over multiple years before compiling it into an album, and without touring in between, was HT, and that still holds up as their best work (imo) and a landmark in rock music. So, there is that 😊
  17. The chipmunks, the clapping sound around 1:50, and the wub wub dubsteppish synth are all really frustrating to me. How to blunder an otherwise beautiful song. Well, thinking about it, I'd be really surprised if that kind of production makes it to From Zero. Would be really curious to hear a Jon Green co-produced track more akin stuff on MTM/ATS.
  18. To be honest, I'm slightly anxious about it being composed with Jon Green. It's not really justified, other than me not having been a fan of any of the tracks he has worked on so far (NCSM, Battle Symphony, Friendly Fire). Even though, to be fair, I think NCSM is a good tune that suffered only from the production choice, and Friendly Fire has grown on me significantly. Soooo... I hope they'll prove me wrong and release their best collab with Jon so far ^^
  19. Thinking the same!
  20. Wow, didn't expect another one this soon! Ithink I'll wait for the album before listening to any other track, but it'll be fun reading the reactions
  21. Those guys are always super sweet. That was super cool to see the love and support towards LP moving forward.
  22. This is awesome guys! Can't wait to hear this.
  23. Time to give Out of Ashes a proper relisten, it's been a long time. Can't wait for the LPL exclusive !
  24. When you listen to the more polished Xero versions of A Place For My Head Forgotten Pictureboard There is no question this is the same band, just with a different vocalist.
  25. The TEM-HITC pair to start off the record promotion is super strong. Comparing with pairs from a few previous cycles, I think this could be my favorite. Loved the ATS one too though. LT and THP were 50/50. Wasn't hyped by the OML one. Not including anything pre-ATS as it gets a bit blurry to me 😅 The Catalyst - Wretches and Kings BID - LGM GATS - UI Heavy - Battle Symphony
