Second single from the new album out tonight, “Nightmare” featuring Spencer Charnas from Ice Nine Kills. This one REALLY surprised me… I’m a very VERY casual Ice Nine Kills listener and their stuff is too corny for me a lot of the time. But… this song kinda rules?? Super catchy.
I don’t like Ice Nine Kills at all so I wish they had a different singer but musically this is pretty chill. Definitely prefer Burn It All Down much more. I can appreciate the creativity out of having different singers for each track but I really wish they could have had Cove sing for the entire album. I know he’s busy with Dead American (New Nostalgia is pretty incredible - go check it out y’all) but if they were gonna have other singers like Kurt tour anyway - I think they could have had him record the whole thing.
I mean It's one of the most respected albums in the scene... If you don't like Cove that's cool though
I for one love both Cove albums with Saosin, so I think we can just say opinions are divided on the debut and be good with that
So... I just got suggested the music video for the Spencer song and I realized the album actually came out earlier this year. No one talked about it here though, how was it? (I didn't like the aforementioned song at all by the way, so my expectations are low)
Yeah it wasn't very good. I was never a huge fan of them anyways but I only liked one or two songs, really.
I thought it was pretty solid and has some standouts (but ultimately pretty paint by numbers post-Hx) but got lost in the shuffle of other releases. I’m glad the vid came out as a reminder to re-listen.
I actually really liked this song (Bad Omens) and there’s a few bangers off their record (Nightmare, Knock It All Down, Black Hole, New Morning) but it’s very much a mixed bag.
I don’t understand the massive digression between “Loved Forever” and this new material. LF harnessed SKSKs vibe so well, but this new stuff is absolutely soulless to me.
this song quickly emerged as my favorite but I only just realized it’s the Hanson one. Caught me off guard, the song is incredible.
