"Are You Even Here" is probably my "Burned Is the House" of this record... Should've been on the actual thing by a landslide. Any of these tracks I would have replaced "Meet Me" with.
Agony, Addiction and Shame (this sounds like it could've been one Trio album lol) all had valid arguments for replacing songs, this one is only ten with an interlude and no skips IMO. Just plop em all on there, drop nothing haha.
Only one listen via somehwat crappy computer speakers, but I think out of the 3 In Sickness is my favorite. Def need to listen in a setting where I can hear all the lyrics though haha
All three are pretty interesting. Just the chorus of Are You Even Here kind of doesn't do enough for me and Sacrifice feels a lot like Break for most of it. At Sickness for sure should have made the album New Trio songs though, love it. All really good.
these are pretty much my takes too. all 3 are good but Sickness is the only one I can really see improving the album, would slot nicely between Shake and the t/t. Are You Even Here feels a bit like a Bygones demo that's 3/4ths there but not quite done yet, and the lyrics to Sacrifice just don't really do the song justice - main riff is fucking nasty though
Same. apparently these accidentally leaked by a friend of the band. So there wasn’t a plan to release them right now. Bully for those who’ve heard.
