The Dangerous Summer - Mother Nature (June 14, 2019) Album • Page 10

For those who have heard the full album, is Bring Me Back to Life the “really different/unexpected” song I’ve heard about from this album? The way I heard it described was that it’s very different for them, so I’m curious if there’s something more unexpected left to come.

Holy cow that chorus is major Letters To God vibes

 

Oh, this is great. The transition into Way Down is also quite sweet. These work well together.

I am 3/3, but I don’t love WWYWTSOU. So the hype for this album has increased exponentially with each single.

 

3/3.

This new one is sooo fucking good. Best one yet. I’ve liked each single more than the last.

 

The most I’ve loved a TDS song in like ... 8+ years?

 

Nice...maybe?

 

You’re gonna hate the album anyway

 

Yes.

 

HYPE

 

They are easily one of my favorite bands so hate I doubt - I’m banking on disappointedly neutral. I did enjoy the return more than most, though, so jury’s still out.

 

(This album beats the fuck out of the last album and it’s not close.)

 

Given the first three singles...it’s hard to imagine that but I’m hoping that’s the case (and honestly I don’t need it to be because I actually enjoyed self titled - just not enamored with it like WP). The way I feel about these three tracks is on par with the way I feel about the bottom half of tracks on the last LP. You can change them out and it wouldn’t improve/detract from my assessment of S/T.

 

The three singles are far beyond anything on the last record IMO.

 

Yep. By a massive margin. (And if you don’t like the three singles you will hate the album, you’re right about that.)

 

Color, Infinite, and This is Life are all too tier TDS for me now so I can’t relate.

 

I like to see the self titled as them going “ok, how do we be a band again?” and the three singles as them going “ok, how do we be a better band than before?”

I’ll let y’all know on Sunday night how the album is hehe

 

But I don’t hate the new songs...I just “golden record” them lol They serve their purpose, with mild to moderate chagrin, sure to be lifted by more significant cuts on the upcoming LP (presumably the title track, the track you alluded to, and the closer). I sincerely doubt I hate anything this band ever does as long as he’s writing/(trying) to sing

 

Given the lyrical/thematic content, vocal delivery (though clearly more strained now), and tempo of the vast majority of their songs fall into/tend to follow, this margin you speak of being so disparate seems, at least from this listener’s ears, highly unlikely. Do the heights of this new album lift them higher than RFTS Or WP or simply just above the last two outings? If it’s the latter, it’s seemingly irrelevant, albeit mildly exciting, to me.

 

Damn. I like the last album quite a bit and I really like these three songs. Sounds like I’m in for a treat.

 

Check the supporter Q&A thread for more thoughts if you wanna get way hyped.

 

The latest single reminds me of ‘Invicta’ from Hit The Lights for some odd reason.

 

also the way this song goes right into Way Down is tight as hell

 

That transition is really well suited. Made me like Way Down more in fact.

 

Bring Me Back To Life is the best by far of the three I’ve heard so far.

 

Those are the only three I return to, but I agree that those are awesome.
