Balance and Composure - Light We Made (Oct 7 2016) Album • Page 12

i think the label/management is banking on them getting a ton of press on this record...interesting to see such an upgrade in venues size after a year or two of doing nothing

 

This song drags out for me, and I hate the first minute but it's okay overall. This band after Separation hasn't done much for me. Separation is a goddamn masterpiece.

 

That bassline has such a The National Anthem feel to it, and it's great.

 

I was definitely a little surprised by the size of the room they're playing in Detroit (not that it's enormous or anything) but it'll be cool to see them on a bigger stage.


I seriously love this song though. The chorus has been stuck in my head for an hour already.

 

song makes me optimistic

I bet a Chicago date is announced between 11/6 and 11/10 after B&C plays Riot Fest

Definitely commend the band for stepping out of the box with the new song but not for me after the first listen at least.

 

This song gives me a huge mewithout you vibe. It's not what i expected and i haven't decided if that's good or bad yet. As others have said, I didn't like the song at all until the chorus on the first listen but on the second listen, the beginning sounded better. I think it's going to be a grower but a whole album like this, who knows.

 

Not too surprising, the band's noted The Rising Tide as a major influence and they had that vibe on the last album for sure.

 

Hmmm might be worth the trip to Lawrence

 

I'm happy this jump sonically is happening while on Vagrant. They can give the band the proper push and direction that wouldn't have happened while on No Sleep.

 

Agreed, I love this sound for them, his vocals fit in so well with it. I don't think the drums sound "fake" like people are saying. The drums just aren't a major focal point of the song is all. Glad they are on Vagrant now, hopefully they can continue to expand there fanbase. Band is fantastic live.

 

Agree on all. I can't help but harkin back to Title Fight's Hyperview since so many people were polarized but that leap. I wonder if that'll happen here or if the transition is more smooth.

 

Hyperview seems a lot closer to what the hip sound in the scene was at the time though

 

shoegaze?

 

yeah idk if that was the 'cool' thing to do, seemed a lil out of left field for them. Not super out of left field, just a lil. I saw B&C touring for Seperation at least 3 times, but I didn't see them touring for TTWTWM

 

Well that makes a lot of sense then! Knew I could hear similarities!

 

yes
pity sex, whirr, nothing, those bands were very well loved by the hardcore kids that loved title fight

 

Finally listening with some ear buds, is the vocal mix abnormally low or am I just crazy?

 

My thoughts exactly. The vocals are so quiet! One of the only things I dislike about this song

 

I really like this song. Happy to have a weird departure album from such a talented band.

 

wow thats fantastic.. updated title and original post

 

this is gonna be such an awesome fall record

 

Takes one song for a band's entire direction to be labelled as shoegaze. People just love throwing that word around.
