The interesting one for me now is what sort of song they choose to release as the second single (which I would expect mid to late January), whether they keep it up with a heavier song or if they choose a more radio song
So he's gonna make his dog cry?But yea overall feedback has been on the more positive side. Fingers crossed for the rest of the album. Rumor has it he wrote a ballad for his dog this time.
The chorus totally fits in SOAPF.and if Anders said in an interview it was more like SoaPF than battles (which he did) then hopefully we can expect more of the same!
It’s shocking to see the amount of positivity regarding the new song, I never thought I would see this with a new track being discussed on here.
You guys can be pretty ruthless in regards to the later IF releases.
With that said I think this new track is a breath of fresh air and what perhaps they’ve been trying to achieve for a while in later albums, it’s good to see agressive Anders back in business, why it’s been such a long absence with his style of low growls is beyond me but he absolutely nails it, puts the rest of the kids in the biz to shame imo.
I haven’t been able to listen to the song again since earlier today from the YT rip but thanks for that sis.
I got a lot of nostalgia from the track, the riffs around the solo mark reminds me a lot of Crawl Through Knives, anyone else get that vibe?
Can’t wait to hear more, exciting times.
The bridge is definitely one of the highlights.That ascending riff struck me as in the same vein as "Crawl Through Knives" and "In Plain View" from SC so that was definitely my favorite part.
It’s cuz we are so thirsty for new IF and the recent albums have set the bar so low that we are now surprised by anything more aggressive than the last John Tesh album.It’s shocking to see the amount of positivity regarding the new song, I never thought I would see this with a new track being discussed on here.

They were fine jamming their songs with electronics long before they even had a dedicated keyboard player, so I wouldn't worry.I have downloaded it locally as well but have been playing it with the app so they haven’t totally retracted it yet.
Well there is the synth at the beginning of each chorus. And the intro. But yeah, much more dialed back. Looks like the keyboard guy is also on questionable status like the drummer and bassist?
Oh boy, can't wait till the 14th! This song sounds promising!
edit: jokes aside, it's cool to read how people who have life and not dwell in this piss of a place have no idea about the leak from yesterday, and are genuinly curious about it.

As I said, the chorus reminds me a lot to SOAPF. The guitar work has similarities to Fear is the Weakness and the vocals could fit into that album.I don't really get a SOAPF vibe from I am Above at all. More like a weird mixture of CC and Battles. Give the guitars and vocals a harsher production and the verses wouldn't sound out of place on Come Clarity, whilst pretty much all the clean parts could have come straight off Battles.

The main thing from SOAPF is the modern guitar tone and riff style on the second part of each verse, first seen at 0:40. Could’ve been straight off of many of the more generic SOAPF songs (you know the ones — puzzle, darker times, all for me, etc.)I don't really get a SOAPF vibe from I am Above at all.
