soundboard Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 New song is pretty good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Saint Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 These guys have annoyed me lately with their constant lineup changes. Lyrically, it's the same stuff that made me lose interest in Angst. I just feel like the lyrics are terribly cliché and immature. Instrumentally, this is the best song they've ever written. The breakdown was a nice surprise. I'll remain skeptical about this release. It will make or break them as a band. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parkinglot Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 I haven't listened to anything since their two EP's. They just seem like every cliche in pop-punk thrown together and amplified by 100. I think I was also in grade 11 when I was listening to their EP's, and still found them cheesy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
detroitsportsguy27 Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Lyrics are bad, but I agree this is one of their best songs musically. However, deciding their drummer wasn't good enough after 2 years is just a shitty move. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWindBlower Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 I've been trying to get into this band for since Angst came out, but I think Saint hit the nail on the head. The lyrics just don't do it for me. The instrumentation here is really cool though. I'll probably listen to the record when it comes out, not sure about purchasing it.

cartmanlit3 Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Definitely will be preordering this. Angst grew on me a lot and the live performances i've seen from these guys is pretty fun to bounce along to. Don't understand all the hate....pop punk isn't supposed to be about mature lyrics is it?

cwhitmuzik Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 You can have good immature lyrics. In this case that is not true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brevity38 Posted April 3, 2014 Author Share Posted April 3, 2014 ^ already entered that contest for sure, thanks for that! I think the song sounds better than anything they've done. I've heard lyrics that are far more immature. Sure, they aren't the greatest lyrics but they aren't THAT bad. I didn't like Angst at first but a lot of the songs grew on me, although a couple are just plain cheesy. With that said, for the most part I enjoy their music and I will be purchasing this.

contiinstereo Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 Band holds a special place with me. Really encouraged by the first single. Can't wait to hear more. I'll be pre-ordering regardless. Btw love the artwork! Angst artwork was one of my favorites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brock N Roll Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 Picked up the half and half with white splatter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Saint Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 I'm still on the fence. I don't know how to feel about it. I want to like it. I really do. They sound like they've stepped it up in every aspect except the lyrics. But if I buy it, I feel like it won't get more than a couple spins.

omik11303 Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 Gotta say, I wasn't that big a fan of the first single but this new one rips hard. I've gotta wait to hear more before decide whether or not to order it, but I'm hoping for more songs like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brevity38 Posted June 3, 2014 Author Share Posted June 3, 2014 New song! I have to say I'm really glad that I pre ordered this, the last two songs they have released have been really solid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omik11303 Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 Ok, I'm sold on this now. I'm planning to order along with Real Friends and Driver Friendly and I'm gonna wait to hear a new song from one of them first before I pull the trigger. Hopefully the /300 lasts just a little longer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

enyfour5 Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 Can't wait for this to come out. Their work is solid and has gotten better over the years. Definitely one of my favorite pop-punk acts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omik11303 Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 30 second clips. "The Loved Ones Who Hate Us" and "Give and Take" sound pretty massive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
