Hmm... the new song is better than I expected. Best since 'Doomsday' and some of the songs from The Here And Now album, which I know they dislike and all that, but then, I shouldn't exactly care about what bands think of their own material (I never like most of their music very much anyway, heh).

Funny song. Probably even better than 'Who's That...'.

'Your Man' is the best thing Filthy Fra-, I mean Joji has done. Sounds like a big hit to my ears.

'Salt Licorice' is pretty dope. Didn't think A. G. Cook could work well with Jonsi. It's probably a match made in heaven. (And the thread title needs updating. Seriously.)

Some thoughts about some of the tracks: - 'forget me too' is aptly not very memorable. At least for now. - 'lonely' feels a bit insincere with the rather energetic backing music. And that talk part at the end... - 'WWIII' is fun. Easily my favourite track. :lol:

The cover is a bit too similar to his EP cover last year. They could've tried something else. And... I kinda don't like that the titles are all (changed to) small letters for some reason. But I didn't mind it on his EP last year or... MGK's Tickets To My Downfall album. But whatever, YUNGBLUD being YUNGBLUD. I just want some cool tracks from him (which some are ('strawberry lipstick' is a choon), some aren't).

Much more enjoyable than Paras(h)ite Eve. A bit sweary but it's kinda amusing.

"She Couldn't' sounds great. I can see why it didn't make it or fit in Hybrid Theory... though I think it's better than half of the album (it has great singles but I don't find it that memorable otherwise. Psybrid Theory is better).

I may be a bit late on this but I wondered why BTS is releasing another song already... and it is an English single. Should've expected it. I mean MONSTA X did an English-language album (and they're not as big as BTS).

Hmm... not bad actually. I still am a bit unsure with their early releases ('Born Cold' and 'Annabelle') but everything else have me appreciating the new direction.

Another song that ends kinda abruptly. LOL

Another decent tune. Not as catchy as 'Arch Enemy' (which has become one of my favourite singles from them) but it's got cool production and instrumentation. I wonder if there will be more one song before their album release.

'Bloody Valentine' sounds fun. 'why are you here' is also a tune. The new songs and pretty much the change of genre are fascinating. I want more singing and guitar-based MGK. LOL

'Fire In Bone' sounds better mixed and produced than 'Caution'. 'Caution' was kinda a mess... the vocals were unnaturally loud, struggling to blend with the other instruments (dunno if Brandon was just not good or the mixing process ruined it).

Their debut album is almost 10 years old... didn't realise it's been that long ago already. They still come up with interesting music, 'In Birdsong' is no exception! Vocals are still cool and unique to hear.

The Feeling - Sewn Still a nice lengthy tune. Their other hit singles from the same album... don't sound great now. Better leave them in 2006. LOL

The new stuff sounds rather disappointing compared to their last album. The polished sounding feel from Last Young Renegade was fascinating and then they're sounding rather childish again considering they are a growing band... they should distance themselves more often from making teen-oriented pop punk at their age I think.

This... is much better than the last album 'Revolution Radio'. It is less preachy (or less focused on the sociopolitical bullcrappery), the music is more fun and the song lengths are acceptable unlike the last album (RR was half a bore compared to the 2012 triple-albums and this album IMO). 'Meet Me On The Roof' is a choon. Sounds like be a big hit (not that they need that sort of success anymore).

My favourite track from We Are Not Your Kind (if not 'Spiders'). Reminds me a bit of 'Psychosocial'. (Heh.)

{The new track} is a bop. Not sure why it's labelled 'explicit' though. Maybe it's drug references and stuff. The statue head being used in the single and album cover remind me of the Head from Art Attack.

More Halsey and BMTH collabs in the future please. A new EP or album would be super cool.

...I'm not sure I'm liking the direction/production of the two new songs so far, at least compared to 'Eternity, In Your Arms'. It also doesn't sound as spooky (though that is probably not the purpose this time). I kinda miss the hard hitting drum sounds. LOL

I'm never a big fan of Rakim's verse in 'Guilty All The Same' by Linkin Park. It makes the song feel out of place and the lyrics sounded cringe. For someone being called a "great MC", well, I don't think that part was great.

BYpVCMZEpro "Raw old school like na na niii" Na na niii is not dead. :yahoo: On another note, it's funny how Russ used to be called / or was known as Russ (splash), and recently it's RussMB (or maybe he's also still Russ (splash), oh well)... and the song is called 'Splash'.

Yep. Another social media silence means another end of an era. - is next. :P
