[Jonse]

Easily best track I've heard so far.

[Synthestesia]

The first track I've heard that has hard hitting textures and tones. The only one so far that I would hold up to their previous work.

Sounds like cello in this song. I just really love the sound of this one. What a tone setter!

[In_The_Annexe]

I'm really liking that distorted drone bass. they have definitely changed their sound.

Yes, it was reminiscent of Apocalyptica in places but I only listened to 10 seconds so don't shoot the messenger

[revertedhexagon]

I feel like wild life analysis fits more on geo and ready lets go should be in MHTRTC... But thats just me..
Anywho, i liked it. Only heard a 10 sec sample and its awesome! Very nice.

[akrotiri]

I just had a listen for it (rather, listening to it) for the purpose of this thread.


Wow.

It's very...dystopian. The jarring, dark synths are the pure definition of drone. O God, that's lovely.
Yeah, it gets my approval for a great drone piece. I could see it being used in a movie, too. It is great.
It's a very powerful song.
My expectations are being raised.

The resonance of the jarring synth in the former half of the song remind me of a little song/test/whatever I did on an Alesis Micron synth one night. Really sounds similar to it.

[Waterbagel]

I will be SO upset if that little 5 second fanfare in the beginning isn't actually a part of the song!

Yeah, and it comes out of nowhere.

While we're talking drone, Cold Earth?

I'm right there with you on THAT, dude.

[rainier]

All the track by tracks have mentioned it, so I think it's there. Such a cool start to the album.

Great! I've avoided the track-by-track articles...I'm not usually the type to ignore such HUGE BoC news, but I want to go into this album without opinions from a reviewer. Once it's out, I'll give it a read..if I can hold out that long!

[rainier]

Oops sorry, I didn't mean to spoil you I tried to hold out on the track by tracks too, but ah, you see how well that worked out for me.

That's OK! Hardly a spoiler

The next two weeks will be taxing though..that's for sure!

Ok just listened to it for the last time til the album comes out. This song is fucking amazing. I can't wait to hear it in high quality. So glad I decided to get new headphones.

[thepastinsidepressant]
