I actually love the new song (maybe moreso than Roman Candles?) but is it weird that I think that listening to 60 and Punk before Here To Forever actually has a nice flow? Even if they're on two separate albums?
On a side note, when searching YouTube, why the fuck does Death Cab for a Cute always auto populate but never Death Cab for Cutie?
Also, that brief melody sounds almost identical to The National's Empire Line instrumental thing during the chorus.
Not a fan of spoken word but the instrumental is massive and the singing parts are great, loving the more explosive sound
I think the singing is far and away the worst part of this song, tbh. Like the last single, I find the repetition of his delivery to be nearly grating. It works better here, but it’s still a choice that just doesn’t do it for me. Instrumentally this song is a cool directions that brings EitS to mind. I surprisingly liked the spoken word but I felt like it got harder to hear as the song went on? Could’ve been my imagination though. Or maybe it was supposed to sound like they were underwater in which case it’s another unfortunate artistic decision for me, haha.
