Is that Julien Baker on the new song?

 

Hmmmm. Artwork is dope. Song is mediocre. The last half more interesting than the first. Man I was head over heals for Dead Throne and Zombie. 8:18 had a couple of ok songs, and I everything after that didn't do anything for me. (Roots was fine as well). Mike's voice/vocal delivery really changed since Dead Throne and I just don't dig it anymore.

 

This fucking rips - switchblade might be one of their heaviest songs ever

 

Here for it

 

It's Sierra Kay. She confirmed it on Twitter. She sounds great on the song.

 

Chemical is out there, pretty surprised by the diversity shown in the singles so far.

 

the entire record is pretty diverse - I mean it's still a metal record but it's not the same style 11 times

 

Chemical is sick. Who is singing? If it’s Mike then he should just sing from now on.

 

Here we go, Switchblade is already a ripper. Didn't expect those weird electronic touches and that switchup!

 

Numb is one of the best songs they’ve ever released. This album jams.

 

It's not as instant as their past few releases, but I'm into this a lot. They're expanding their sonic palette way more than I expected.

 

They mentioned Chelsea Wolfe as an influence in an interview that was posted in the other thread, and it's more noticeable on my second listen, especially with the slower songs. Isn't It Strange feels right out of Abyss.

 

def thought I was in the album thread before whoops, anyways yea this shit is super great

 

Saw that it leaked, but I haven't listened yet. Excited to hear this judging from the reception on here.

 

alright just finished, yea this thing is wild. I absolutely love how off-kilter it is, they really go for it on here.

 

It's definitely a re-imagining of their sound. My personal favorite on first listen since WRAABB and it feels like their first solid progression since Dead Throne.

 

Well now that this is almost officially out, I've listened through 4 times now and I still love it. What a fantastic job by them, I love Transit Blues (and everything else) obviously but this really feels like a definitive album for them and where they're at now. That whole "IT'S MY FAULT" on Wave of Youth is so satisfying. So happy I had already gotten tickets for their tour with Norma Jean and Gideon.

 

I haven’t listened since With Roots Above and Branches Below. I’m really liking this.

 

This is amazing and every track is a standout on repeated listens

 

Spiderhead tho

 

I only got through Numb this morning but DAMN does this thing go in. The Thread is filthy good, an easy stand out for me so far.

 

wow Switchblade

 

This is great. The 2 singles I didn't care for were much better in the context of the album.

 

This is great
