It's funny going on other sites and seeing people be like "omg they have a breakdown again" or "better than anything off amo" but yea I quite enjoy it, really dig the chorus and such
Song is cool for the most part but this video is lol It’s for a video game? Silly. Splicing in some video game footage in with it? Terrible.
What's wrong with it being for a game? That's not exactly a new concept lol and we got a cool song out of it Splicing in the game footage yea sure but they probably were obligated to do that as part of advertising
If it’s a song they had already written and was placed into a game - then yeah it’s whatever. However, a song being written for a video game is just corny/gimmicky to me. I know it’s not a new idea but I’ve always found it so.
What are your thoughts about video game music in general then? Is there a line between what's a video game song and "song being written for a video game?" This is fascinating to me.
I think actual composition, like a score if you will, for video games are interesting and respectable as hell. I am not a big gamer aside a few but I can dig that. However, a (let's face it) pop band making a song for a video game? Just for promotion? Just seems corny to me. Opinions are opinions man.
Very true. I also think that gimmick is played out. Well in my original post I said the song was pretty good but that the video was cringe for many reasons. Being a promotion for a video game was one of them.
Side note: while I miss the There is a Hell/Sempiternal days of this band (and disliked most of Spirit) - I actually really liked Amo.
I mean I see it more as something they genuinely wanted, they went to visit Kojima (director of Death Stranding) back in like August I think it was and gave him a bunch of their stuff and of course there's Shadow Moses which is literally a Metal Gear reference, of which Kojima was the creator behind as well. They're very big fans of Kojima.
Oh not at all. I say go for it. However, if it still comes off as corny - at least in my opinion - I will call it such. I doubt they care very little of what any fan thinks as they're cashing that check lol Nice.
i like the new song, video was pretty cool actually, and i wouldn't mind hearing some more stuff like this on their next album
New song is dope. I still listen to Amo, probably one of the most listened to albums for me this year
On a big Bring Me The Horizon kick this week. amo still holds up, I don't think there's a single track that I don't like. Been listening to There Is A Hell a lot too. The drop in the song 'F**k' always gets me, it's so good.
Still think it's cool to see the band now occupy the space Linkin Park used to occupy, in terms of that style of music, a fusion of styles and all that. One of the reasons why the band is quickly becoming one of the bigger rock bands in the world
