You know what, I'm actually not sure on this...

 

[Caveman Ninja]

I liked it better on second listen. As I said in the other thread, I don't love it at the moment, but I think it will grow. I wouldn't have said it's chocabloc with hooks so you don't go away singing it after the first listen, but quite a lot of the last album was like that, it crept up on you slowly then a few listens later you realised you were being bludgeoned to death with an awesomehammer.

When I listened to Infected Nations and Demolition Now when they came out I was thoroughly unimpressed. I reckon that listening to songs without the album just doesn't work for me so I'm just going to put it back in its box and leave it till August.
Also I did listen and it seemed good. The solo stuck out for being relatively simple. And thats only one really half arsed listen.

 

[D.Ingram]

It's probably because it's just the one track as opposed to the whole album - albums should be listened to from start to finish.

Not to mention that it's nowhere near as technical/progressive as a lot of the stuff on Infected Nations, which feels like a slight step backwards... but yeah. I need repeated listens to truely suss it.

 

[dethCR07]

Killer. As with Infected Nations, it'll need time to really grow on me, but the outcome shall be amazing.

Ol already said somewhere that this album will be less technical than IN.

 

[D.Ingram]

I know he did. That doesn't mean that it doesn't raise concerns of them backtracking to a degree - IN was perfect for them if you ask me. If it ain't broke...

 

[turboasmund]

It's awsome! Love the dark corrupted feeling of the song.

 

[Darkofeden]

I love it. the first listen I couldn't even understand what I heard, so on the second listen I loved it.
i feel like the rest of it will be like infected nations where i'll have to listen to it a few times to love it.

As I said on the other thread, I love love love it.

 

[Zehm]

I've said already that I get what Dave is saying about it being weird, but I like it a lot. Matt's voice is really coming along, and even though the actual riffs aren't as complicated as IN, the arrangements are much more complex. I almost feel like I hear some Nevermore or Alice in chains in those vocal harmonies.

 

[metallica144]

you know what... i'm actually quite curious for what MetallicSlayerDeth's interpretation of the riff at 1:10 looks like in words

 

[Keenan]

Okay, I tried, I really did.............. I caved after ten minutes of seeing this thread though.



Listened to it three times, and I came to this conclusion : It gets better everytime you listen to it. The vocals are kinda weird near the beginning, but 4:00 onwards is fantastic!


Now, as a self-proclaimed "Evile Fan For Life", (which I am proclaiming right now ), I want to say that this song is perfect, and that I love it, but I don't think I can come to that conclusion yet and think that the band can do better. I have a feeling that the album will probably have a lot of better songs than this one though.


Still awesome though.

 

[D.Ingram]

Fanboy!

 

[Keenan]

Yes.

 

[cparker]

Only on my first listen now, but I love it so far! The vocals are outstanding, and I love the guitar tone.

 

[D.Ingram]

The tone is fucking stunning, I have to admit. Got the crunch!

 

[zerostatic]

Sounds great to me. It should sound even better on the album/cd then it does on youtube.
