    I’m digging the new tracks and overall direction. Big vibes.

    Just OK. Will definitely check out the album but can't say I'll revisit these much

    Broken by design is right in my wheelhouse. Really curious to hear the rest.

    Damn this shit rocks. Every time Basement puts out an album it's about a year after you've given up hope for them ever putting anything out again lol. Excited to hear the rest!

    "Broken by Design" sounds like early Death Cab in all the right ways.

    that /250 pressing was a nice surprise to wake up to

    I appreciate how different these two songs are, from each other and the rest of their discog. Enjoying Wired more with each listen.

    Damn, this is not what I expected. They’re not bad songs but I’m just not into them yet. I’m hoping after a few more listens I’ll like them more.

    They fixed your brain when you were young.

    Really like these. Good balance of feeling familiar, and pushing their sound. Pre ordered.

    Maybe it'll take a few more listens but I feel like these are just....not good?

    Really bummed. I want to like them!

    Gonna sit with them for a bit and see how I feel in a few days.

    I like both songs quite a bit. Kinda surprised by some of the reactions in here.

    I'm actually encouraged by the mixed response. It shows they're not just making the same record they always have.

    Cheers for this! Managed to snag one!

    Enjoying the new songs. They are different than I had hoped but still very good.

    Yeah, kind of have to agree on my first listen. One of my favorite things about basement is how they can be aggressive and heavy, yet still catchy and groovy. A lot of that energy I was expecting feels like it's missing. A bit more of a continuation from be here now than I was expecting
     
  24. Enjoyed both new songs!

    It reminded me of Weezer for some reason
