Derek™ Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 I typically avoid singles when they close out the album, but in all my overzealousness this morning, I swapped my VPN to access the region-locked Youtube upload before discovering what the album's track order is. Gave it one listen earlier and here are some lingering thoughts. Take them with a grain of salt since I didn't dive in multiple times, and it's been about an hour. It's pretty okay. It goes nowhere near as hard as Rubicon. Regardless of how you feel about Gore, I think it's safe to say that album goes out with a much bigger bang. The guitar is uplifting; almost like a celebratory conclusion to the record. I'm not in love with the production at all but I'm hoping it has more to do with Youtube compression and playing them over my computer's built-in speakers. (Which aren't great, but typically not that washed out or tinny. I played a Deftones track from my iTunes just for comparison's sake, and, yeah. Still gonna' pre-order regardless but I agree that it's a weird choice for a single. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek™ Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 Not on VC, but I was reading a lot of comments from people who insisted that they'd be super disappointed if the album art ended up looking like it currently does. I guess a lot of folks thought it would be slowly revealed or "filled in" with more details as we got closer to the official announcement. Anyone have any thoughts on it? It's by and far the most "unique" design when lined up with everything else in their catalog. The only comparable cover is White Pony, I'd say, with its 2-tone color choice and iconic approach. Wonder if that's just a coincidence or if there's more of a tie-in with Black Stallion around the corner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be 100% cool with it as the final art. Not LITERALLY visually similar, but gives me sort of NIN vibes. Also, it aligns well with the album closer lyric "stare through the haunted maze in your eyes" Edited August 20, 2020 by V3XED Kanellos and Derek™ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cesar11 Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 the coordinates they posted yesterday was to a billboard on top of Canters here in LA with that artwork and "This is our time _we devour the days ahead 09_25_20" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanellos Posted August 20, 2020 Author Share Posted August 20, 2020 (edited) Having heard other songs off the album to provide context to the single, I'm all in. They should have led with another lead single, I agree, though. Love the production and artwork too. The artwork reminds me of Bear in Heaven's 'Beast Rest Forth Mouth' or something an LA goth rock band would put out. Everything for me right now is leagues better than Gore.

A lot of people are stoked on the production from what I’m gathering. I’m eager to to are try the single on my usual setup later this evening, when it’s available on Spotify or Apple Music.

I never understood why it’s there on some records but not others in the first place or it isn’t just a removable sticker. 🤷♂️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think most of the major labels put it on there, but I'm not certain. I don't think I've seen it on many indie label releases (if any). Some CDs I had growing up had it as a sticker. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parental_advisory Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The opening line of Feiticeria is printed as stop instead of fuck, Change says lungs instead of gun, and on ATF MX has the word magazine printed instead of pussy.

Honestly, there's a very good chance that pre-orders will launch in about 5 hours and 40 minutes if you think you'll be awake. andrewlucas 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
