I didn't listen to any of the singles so diving in now. first track is... wild? beacons is huge, damn.
This album is stunning Didn’t think they’d be able to exceed my expectations but here we are. All three of them are firing on all cylinders. These songs are going to sound massive live considering how massive they already sound I love this band very much
I've completely avoiding like, any marketing for this other than seeing the release date and knowing the first single released. I've wondered what your avatar is for a long time and just noticed what it is now hahaha
I hate to admit it because I feel so left out, but I never could get into NMG. I tried and tried and it just never could click. I am going into this without listening to any singles and first 3 songs in … hell yeah. Super excited to listen to the rest after work. Beacons is quite the song.
This is awesome, Foxing albums have usually taken me awhile to warm up to but this one is pretty immediate. I love how NMG ends with “Lambert” and this one starts with “737,“ that’s just a nice little touch and feels like, very metaphorical
On my first listen. On Lightning. This is my first time listening to this song. How in the world do people not love this song? Lol Loving the album so far.
and if i'm too high to speak or too drunk to shut up LET ME TAKE MY TIME LET ME FIND MY WORDS STRIKE ME DOWN, LET ME BURN I WANNA GO-O-O WHERE THE LIGHTNING STRIKES TWICE
Thoughts upon first listen: 1. Very positive first listen. I can tell it will only grow on me and I’m gonna love it. 2. I agree with the Speak With the Dead sentiment in that it is absolutely bewildering to me that they chose to lead this album cycle with that song. 3. I love how they have changed and pushed their sound with each album. I think this album staples them for me as one of my absolute favorite artists working.
wow I sure did expect a different album after listening to the title track twice then entering complete radio silence good thing it rules either way
i only listened to the first single and this blew me away if i believed really got me when it gets wild at the 1:27 mark
I still think “If I Believed in Love” is the best song here, but that’s also the song of the year imo so…high bar.
