Is it just me or does the new Chimaira just sound like...

[ahjteam]

...shit? I mean it sounds really sparse, boring, clinical, lifeless and protools'y.

Something about the guitar sound... but i think it sounds awesome anyway

edit: listend to the whole song, yeah, it's boring as fuck. Guess they will never surpass the impossibility of reason, that album had some killer tunes

 

[GarethSE]

Yeah this... Really kinda sucks.
Musically and production wise, this doesn't hold a fucking candle to Resurrection.

 

[Aaron Smith]

Those rhythm guitars are very small sounding, especially at certain parts. Drums sound great. I agree that the song is a bit on the disappointing side, though. We'll have to see about the rest of the album...

 

[Jaymz]

Im gutted, the music isnt...very good to put it politely

 

[Chryst Krispies]

I've never liked Chimiara. I only liked the last one cause Sneap touched it.

 

[roy22341]

I got about a minute into the song before I almost fell asleep then just decided to listen to Power Trip. It was the only choice really.


Disappointing...but then again I wasn't very impressed by Resurrection (yeh yeh I know I know).

 

[MetalJonesy]

i was looking forward to hearing some of the new stuff, but this is a bit boring and lifeless dunno if its down to the mix or the song

 

[Pedro Teixeira]

I like drums... songwise it's pretty generic

 

[TheDude]

Raise the tempo by 10-15 bpm's and it'll rock. Sounds a little tired.

 

[felipe-x]

they dont accept requests from BANDS on myspace what a dick head they are. lol.

 

[ahjteam]

Raise the tempo by 10-15 bpm's and it'll rock. Sounds a little tired.

or drop the tempo by 10-25 bpm's and you get doom

 

[Petrocker]

Yeah pretty boring and too slow, defenately a downstep from their previous stuff.
I like the self-titled most.

 

[Jarkko Mattheiszen]

Resurrection was fucking awesome. This one does indeed sound pretty lifeless and dull. Well, I'll judge when I hear the whole album.

 

[Metaltastic]

Who produced this one? Not like I have any interest in listening to it after reading all this, just curious!

 

[_Brutalism_]

I'm going to have to agree. It's not exciting at all.

Resurrection had these kind of tracks too in my opinion however it did also contain gems like Six and the title track was pretty solid too in my opinion.

So after all it might just be one of the more generic, safe-to-play songs, so to speak.

 

[zvish]

and there is something wrong with Hunter voice ;P something like Corey Taylor throat on Slips vol 3 ;P

 

[Jaymz]

and protools'y.

I can hear it squawkin' like a chicken

 

[GarethSE]

I can hear it squawkin' like a chicken

Sounds like he couldn't get the big boom either.

Sounds like he couldn't get the big boom either.

Most definitely not!
