Just caught this today, but I guess it's been out for a month. New tune from the upcoming album. Not sure if I like it, they've apparently continued on the path they started down with God's Equation - poppier songs with less prog elements.
guitars sound awesome. Nils K Rue needs to cut out that goddamn shrieky high note he loves so much. It's getting as old as the crappy megaphone/distorted vocals all over their earlier albums. Anyone that was at the show at the Middle East (wren) will likely never forget that god-awful screeeching.
i liked their last effort. huge fan of their first 3 albums. this seems too straight forward for me. too...poppy... its not horrible but its nothing spectacular.
I will agree to both Aril AND Spaldino's comments. First three albums are great, God's Equation was good but different. I'm hoping this is the "hello spaceboy" of the album, and that the other tunes will be a little stronger. I doubt it though, just reading the comments on the new tune makes me think they're trying to please a different audience these days.
YES. I actually just got into PW two days ago, when I was doing my "recommend me a good tech death with clean vocals" thread. They didn't quite fit the requirements, but I loved the music!
