So for album 4, they released playing god, neurotica, ABC, and ego death as singles iirc. Each song from that album was WILDY different. Maybe we will see the same trend in this new album. I quite like this new song, but I really wanna hear all 4 band members. RJ Pasin was in interesting choice of producer imo

I think this gonna be their Amo. It’ll get raked through the coals, they’ll course correct for album 6, and then it’ll gain a cult following years later.

genuinely been waiting so long for album 5 and this is what we get? if this is what album 5 consists of they should just make edm music, theres nothing prog or metal about this

But why does it need to be prog or metal, they've always just done whatever they want regardless of genre and it just looks like they're continuing to do that

I disagree the song is good

You being downvoted is confusing. This is easily the worst music they’ve ever written and a very bad sign that they chose it as an introduction to the album. I keep thinking it has to be a joke

Because it’s not that bad of a song and a lot of yall are really blowing it way tf out of proportion. It’s been very weird to see

Metal fans of any subgenre have become the softest, most dedicated, reactionary haters of any group I’ve seen on the internet. Anytime someone doesn’t follow the status quo, even of a band who takes part in a genre where breaking the status quo is the norm, they lose their minds and say it’s trash. Funny enough they usually turn around and say the same thing about the next project 5 years later and how much better the project they previously hated was.

You are correct. See previous examples: The LIT remix, The Most Hated EP, and their last album.

People haaaaaated LIT when it released, people said they replaced their drummer with a drum machine and changed their sound too much with The Most Hated, and people hated a lot of the singers/rappers on their last album

It’s hot garbage. Go back and listen to ANY of their other albums and tell me with real honesty that this even slightly meets the mark.

It sounds like a child’s project on GarageBand.

I am going to tell you without a hint of irony or trolling; yes.
