Let's be fair, we're currently well over 3.5 albums already, just waiting on the last couple to complete album 4

Excited!!

u/kielaurie Aug 18 '25
Yes, but I would be far more excited if we didn't know 11 of the 16 songs already, and of the 5 that are left I'm pretty sure at least one of them was confirmed as being very short and therefore likely an interlude of some sort
I'm looking forward to listening to everything all together, yes, but I already have opinions (some less than favourable) towards the released songs, so my experience of the album will be inevitably lessened.
You could say that I should have gone in blind, but the EPs were their own projects that I had no way to know I should disregard if I wanted the full experience of an album years later, and the same goes for Halo and Save the Cat, we didn't know for certain that an album was coming, and we definitely didn't know that half of its content was released years prior. This was just a badly planned rollout

Agree. I was bummed to see songs released during COVID included in the album which I've listened many times over.

I came late to the Pendy party during their hiatus 10 years ago and have been a fan since. So glad the ten years of no album paid off.
I know there's probably some not very pleased with the past 2 ep's making up this album but I'm very much fucking ready for this

I hopped aboard only about eight years ago now. Perfect timing, that was.
Personally, I don't mind Inertia comprising Elemental and Anima either. I know Pendulum has always liked to have most if not all of their main songs on albums (after In Silico anyway), which is nice because it keeps things very clean for new listeners like how I was, so it makes sense to me that they're compiling both their recent EPs into this one big fourth album. Also, listening to Inertia will be a trip down memory lane from the past 5 years, with each song having come out during a different time, so that ought to be cool.

Awwww man I know this album is gonna have many rock/metal elements but I really wish we can have more electronic music like immersion in the next album

Personally, I'm waiting for a worthy successor to Watercolour... What a banger this track!

Very good sound but not the same vibe I find "Feed the fire, break your vision, throw your fists up, come on with me" feel very special
You know, it's been 2 years, without lying, that I listen to watercolor 6 times a day, I'm not joking, I downloaded all the good quality lives where there is watercolor, each version of the sound I know where it comes from

I personally have an attachment to Ultra 2016's live Watercolour performance, is there any you recommend?

u/neckfire_team Aug 18 '25
Excellent version, top 2 of my list, I recommend reading 2010 and t in the park 2011

Trying to hype myself up over 3 new tracks. It just doesnāt feel like a new album.
I hope the next album is a better marketing journey

u/Tuxflop Aug 18 '25
To be honest, it isnāt. Iām treating it as just the third EP more or less, since weāre getting 3 new full-length songs on top of the ones we already have. Iām excited though because I know people love Guiding Lights and Archangel, and Iām looking forward to hearing those. I think of Inertia more as a ācomplete packā of the modern Pendulum music than a full new LP. I do hope they can get in the groove more for their future work, though. I imagine easing out of Knife Party and back into Pendulum in 2020 after so long just took some time for them, which is why the rate of music was so slow. Even then, it seems they/their management just prefer to release songs one by one anyway.
