    Maybe I'd overplayed the singles but the album didn't work for me anywhere near as well as Below did. This video has me ready to give it another go. Brilliant.

    Deluxe Version out September 20th. Only one actual new song

    Gave this another go over the weekend. I respect the positivity but it's quite bland and forgettable in comparison with their prior releases. More typical of alternative rock radio stuff for the most part. No particularly memorable riffs in comparison to Below. The first 30 seconds of that album are superior to any moments on this.

    Not everything means something, honey Supporter



    The production on this is insane. This is too good to not share.

    They were phenomenal this past Saturday and were the “third to last” band. Summer of Loud was so fun but to me they’re the best band on that bill by a mile.

    Jordan Fish co-wrote/produced, which is pretty apparent after listening lol

    Yea it definitely feels more manufactured than say, Riptide

    Though on another note Caleb's killing it with the looks, damn

    As much as I like Beartooth and I like Jordan Fish, they are two great tastes that don’t taste great together yet.

    The song is fine, but it certainly doesn’t hit me the same way Riptide did, or even most of Below and a good chunk of The Surface.

    Not newbie, I think

    I like it, I'll even bop it, but it's distinction from whats seems like every single song in that genre is 0.

    You could name 5 bands and tell me it was their new song and I'd buy it.

    Composer, but never composed.

    Moving those hips like Shakira. No snark. Guy has done the fucking work. I am truly jealous. Taking care of your body is a gift and it seems like he does it for performing as much as he does for his own gratification.

    Dreadful.

    For a band that had a bucket load of great guitar parts and choruses up to 2021's Below, I can barely distinguish a guitar riff, chords or melody so ramped up is the compression and other effects.

    Much of the same issues that ruined the last release for me. Typical of much modern "metalcore" adjacent stuff. 'Attention' salvaged hope for me with the deluxe release but sadly not to be.

    Sounds like a wall of mostly indeterminate noise.

    It’s just paint by numbers Beartooth. It’s fine. Passable, even, but definitely unremarkable. You could slot this song into their last album and I wouldn’t even blink.

    It'd be one of the weakest songs on their last one tbh, The Surface is one of their best records imo

    i like this song a lot and was actually surprised to find out jordan fish contributed to it, because it sounds nothing like what he's done post bring me

    I'll write you into all of my songs Supporter

    Riptide was such a breath of fresh air. Not a fan of this

    I'm really not feeling this one. I don't mind their poppier side, and it's obviously a personal song lyrics wise, but I'm just not vibing with the style. We will see how it is live but a bit of a miss for me.

    To me the hook melody feels pretty reminiscent of some later BMTH stuff like Strangers, might be just me though
