Somos - Prison On A Hill (Oct 11, 2019) Album • Page 8

I think the production is perfect, vocals are highly improved, instrumentation is flawless..particularly after going back and listening to their old stuff (which I loved). Still think Iron Heel and My Way To You are up there with the best songs i've heard this year or even in recent memory

 

I think the drums and vocals sound terrific

 

It’s gone now. What was the tweet?

 

They charted on the independent album sales for billboard @ 18

 

this albums so great, the melodies are constantly getting caught up in my head.

 

I love how the synth creeps in and out during granite face. Always gotta bop my head when it gets louder between vocals.

 

synthwork on this entire thing is just sublime. i'm so impressed with how they took the cohesiveness and sequencing of first day back and applied it here. add it to the fact that these are the best songs they've written in their careers, and this is an AOTY contender

i'm going to be hyping the crap out of this come October once the marketing cycle begins

 

Mediterranean is now on streaming services.

 

Surprising single choice, tbh. Farewell To Exile is, like, right there.

 

Or New Blood, or Absent and Lost, or The Granite Face

all would be good choices. Mediterranean is huge and could connect well

 

Granted, the music video for Farewell to Exile should be sick if they do one

 

Yeah hey don't get me wrong I love all of the songs on this record, Mediterranean included, I just think it's not the most obvious choice for a single. Farewell to Exile for me perfectly encapsulates the vibe and sound of the record and is also maybe the catchiest song as well.

But yeah it's not really like they could go wrong here.

 

I love that I slightly disagree but can 100% back you up on that statement as well

 

@jorbjorb fyi - you caused this very visually pleasing sequence of post/likes/points just now

 

Unfortunate circumstances of course brought me to check out this band.

This album is incredible and I’m glad Phil was able to leave his mark on the world alongside his bandmates.

 

Preorders are up!

 

Holy shit only 46/800 are left of the vinyl??

 

So Tiny Engines sent out the press email for this and what do we reckon with the RIYL, chat?

 

interesting

1. The Granite Face
2. Farewell To Exile
3. Untraceable Past
4. Iron Heel
5. Mediterranean
6. Absent and Lost
7. Ammunition
8. Young Believers

like, no New Blood or Dreamless on the vinyl/are they bonus tracks? Dreamless is a great closer imo
