Also, I can’t imagine this not touched up a bit audio wise with these visuals. The quality is so high on these videos I think it would have been a jarring juxtaposition imo.
I fully believe they’re just playing along to the album version. We’re hearing the studio tracks. In a way, this was the way they figured out to get the album out there earlier to boost preorders and hype. People are going to be buzzing about this for weeks leading up to the release. I don’t even care though. This is wayyyyy too good to critique about not being “live”. They gave a big clue when they released Cycle a few days ago.
I wonder what numbers they’ll pull for paid streams of this; bet it’ll be pretty strong. Financially they did really well with the Observatory streams
Im already excited to replay this, I missed the first 5 mins. Also, what's going on in the after party?
Ah okay, I kept getting pop ups to click a link at the top of the page at the end, so I thought it was included
First time hearing Pneumonia as well and damn, definitely a closer. When Spencer pulled out the guitar and did those highs and Aaron stepped out from the drum set my jaw dropped
Anyone remember back when Erase Me came out, Aaron posted on his IG a Chorus thread comment about the album, about them selling out or something? Yeah, that was me…….lol. Deleted the post at the time/was super embarrassed, and haven’t admitted it until now, haha
They made it into Forbes for the Observatory series https://www.forbes.com/sites/bryanr...-observatory-livestream-series-interview/amp/
Worth the wait. Glad I bought this. It was an experience. Can’t wait to download in a month. credits mentioned the audio being recorded and mixed, so maybe it was live-ish? They killed it. The hype for this just went way up for me. Glad I stopped listening to pre-release singles after the second one. That paid off in getting to have this experience and hear eight new songs for the first time together. This band is at the top of their game, and I REALLY hope they have a lot of success with this new album. low-key happy the tour is not coming to Portland yet, because I can’t afford more concert tickets at the moment lol.
I hated Erase Me and found it super boring and found it way too accessible and poppy thus losing a lot of what makes this band great, but damn of this good. It still has moments of that I don't care for but they mostly blend nicely with the heavy side of the band.
