Also will I ever leave 9th grade because my brain immediately said “uniform charlie kilo” after that

 

I went long into my 20s as a 'Hefty Fine' defender

 

Pitchfork posted this the other day but deleted it so idk

 

I couldn't get into DDTM at all. Loved NMG.
This song is weird AF. Not sure how I feel about it yet. Lot going on in 8 minutes

 

this is the only song on the album that sounds like this really

 

Boo. Was going to ask this. Any other songs on the longer side?

 

Second to last song is 6:30 but that’s about it

 

Is there slipknot energy

 

I wouldn’t say so

 

Does it remind you of Carly Rae Jepsen?

 

So for DDTM they decided to release the longest and arguably least accessible song first. Then the album had a relatively muted reception. And now they have doubled down on the same strategy. It's a bold play!

I will say:
Greyhound is better than Speak With The Dead
DDTM is very good - Go Down Together or Beacons would have been amazing first singles
I have great faith in the band and think the new album will be amazing... I just hope it then receives the recognition they deserve

 

Speak with the dead is my least favorite song on an otherwise spectacular album

 

Same probably. Or maybe Where The Lightning Strikes Twice because it kind of reminds me of ABBA which I find distracting (very much a me problem haha).

 

All I know is that Bialystok is one of the best songs they’ve ever written.

 

I think the relatively muted reception was due to a 5 month rollout with a single a month leading into a 10 song album personally, by the time it came out it was half-eaten

 

Beacons still gives me the chills

 

I like SWTD a lot but man the “go-oo-OO-oo” of WTLST is so obnoxious lol

 

This is probably not the least accessible song on here. Probably not even bottom 3

DDTM was their crj album. This is their, uh, spiritbox album

 

I think Foxing is the only band where I can believe both these questions were asked in earnest.

 

their Slipknot cover from the patreon goes fucking hard

 

Foxing Haven’t HIt Their Ceiling Yet

 

man, I love this song and this moment lol

DDTM hate is wild to me because Nearer My God is such a victory lap in terms of songwriting potential that they did the best possible thing they could after that, which is challenge themselves to write some bigger hooks while retaining their a lot of what makes them, them. It's arguably their second best imo.

But also, this just popped up in my inbox, so if folks are interested in first impressions today, let me know, otherwise y'all can go in blind!

 

YES FIRST IMPRESSIONS

 

make it pop up in mine
