They still need to reschedule a bunch of dates (two of which I had tickets to). New song isn't bad, lyrics could be better. Not as hyped because Jim isn't in the band anymore, but will still give it a shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kannibal Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 I think the song is good. Didn't blow me away, but it's better than Antemasque. I'll definitely check out more as it's revealed. Seriously, way better than Antemasque. mcpherson123 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shitty Rambo Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 Instrumentally this is very impressive. Along the lines of ROC material but definitely cooler. Wasn't blown away by the vocal hooks or lyrics, but I never turned to ATDI for either of those components anyways. Looking forward to hearing more. scottyrobotty 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume Jim Ward is not involved? 59 minutes ago, Tidal Wave said: I agree on the refused comment. Another one that immediately comes to mind is Modern Life is War. Agree with the refused comparison pretty meh on this, and its a bummer about Jim not being a part of this. The last MLIW album was great I hadn't listened much to them since My Love, My Way and Fever Hunting got me back into them in a big way.

Jlegg Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 I really didn't think I'd like it, but I thought it sounded really good. I'm really glad it doesn't sound like The Mars Volta like how the new American Football just sounds like Owen.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drewvandal Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 I wish we could get a proper tour without a shitty new record. I listened to 90 seconds of that song and had to turn it off. youspinmeround and One Hundred Fifty-Two 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shelby Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 Is it confirmed Jim isn't on the recording? I swear the background vocals sound just like him, probably emulating it on purpose with someone else more realistically though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shitty Rambo Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 Lol at people comparing this to American Football. These two bands couldn't be anymore different, followed completely different trajectories, and reformed for dissimilar reasons.

mcpherson123 Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 I listened to this song once and thought it was good. Not amazing but good. I will definitely listen many more times. I like this one song better than all the Antemasque I heard and I've never listened to that album all the way through because I can't make it through. I don't care for that aesthetic at all. The vocals are a bit weird on "Governed By Contagions" but its ATDI 2016 and Cedric is pretty much done with blowing his voice out on screamed or shouted vocals unless the rest of the album reveals that he has gone back to that at all but I doubt he will. He sings well so he should do that. I do miss the vocal component having the aggression though, I admit. Pieces of the vocal take remind me of parts of "The Malkin Jewel" from Noctourniquet. Otherwise it also sort of reminds me of "Catacombs" the ROC outtake. Not sure exactly why because I haven't heard that track in a hot minute but something recalls that for me. kannibal 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shelby Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 I'm not saying this is great or even something I'd buy but it's mind-blowing to see people that listen to straight up trash bashing this.

toxicity Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 I like the song, but it's pretty repetitive. The "BRACE YOURSELF" got old after about the third time I heard it in the song. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fowty Dollaz Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 I like parts of the track. It's definitely not going to make my top anything list, but it's not awful. Based on this track, I'd say I'll buy the record on sale. Hopefully some of the other tracks are more enjoyable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottyrobotty Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 I like this a lot. I was expecting it to be terrible. I've listened a few times. It is a little different from my expectations but that's fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kannibal Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 I just listened to this song again and it moved up to I really like it. Obviously there's a ROC vibe, but I love the Nation Of Ulysses influence being so strong. I really hope they keep up the good work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeromium Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 I listened to it once last week and it sounded like a new song ATDI would release in 2016 after a long time of not releasing new material. That's neither awesome or awful. Looking forward to the album and tour, as long as they don't play the shitty venue they played last time. youspinmeround 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
