New song "The Fix"

[Tinman]

Word has it The Fix was debuted at the show. People are descriBing it as "classic" olp.

O.o

[Teedus]

I feel like no one got it, either.

[Flynner]

Cool, finally a new song was played. Can't wait to hear it

Please guys i absolutely need a video :O can't wait to hear it...thanks God finally some new music!

[Flynner]

Found the song. Sounds awesome! https://soundcloud.com/chelseafaye/our- ... ce-the-fix

[Teedus]

When do you think they'll release it?

[titanMAX]

I'm gonna guess at the start of their Sound and Fury tour is when we'll get it, which is pretty soon. Possibly why the Vault has been quiet as of late.

[Flynner]

I hope this is a songg a part of a new album not just a released song like won't turn back, but either way I'll be happy with a new OLP tune

[Forky Meets Porky]

The beginning reminds me a bit of their live versions of Tomorrow Never Knows.

[Locobone]

I got video of it. Sorry for the cruddy audio quality. I did my best to fix it.

It was good, but for some reason I'm not hearing the "old school" OLP in it. I really don't think we'll ever get that sound again, so I'm not disappointed, just don't get the comparison.

[MindsOnLoan]

Yeah it seems like any time a new OLP song is played live, fans are always quick to say it sounds like the old them. The beginning kinda had shades of Naveed for me, but not the song as a whole.

Anyway, wasn't particularly excited by it but I don't dislike it either.

I'm holding back on commenting much on it, as the recordings so far seem to make the instrumentals muted and bring Raine out, which is expected being live. But so far, I find it a bit uninteresting... I really want to like it.

... Won't Turn Back is a better song. Not how I want OLP#9 to be, but a better song.

[xjsb125]

I'll reserve judgement until I hear it in person or hear a studio version.

[Tinman]

I like it.

It's not Classic OLP. I think "Classic" OLP is a near unobtainable dream. At least, I've given up on it. Mike Turner and Jeremy are not collaborating with the band, they've added Steve. The Creative mix is completely different now. The closest thing we've had to Classic OLP since Spiritual Machines was A/L/S, thats like, 1 in 40ish songs? It's just not going to happen. Instead, I try and embrace what the band is doing now, because I still enjoy their newer works. Curve to this is at least something I'd listen to if it was a completely different band, where as, I feel like I only listen to Gravity - Burn Burn because of loyalty to the band. If anyone one else had written those albums, I probably wouldn't ever have given them the time of day.

I think the track is good. I like it more than Won't Back Down, for sure, and it's closer to what I was hoping for from this new album- an evolution of Curve. It sounds like its got more of what we wanted from Curve (Emotion, angst, falsetto). It's hard to judge off of a live recording, but I'm excited to hear the studio produced version of this. I have a feeling (assuming they don't neuter it like the Wolf), that it will be a pretty awesome track.

Can I ask what you all don't like about it? Other than the obvious let down of hearing something is gonna be old OLP and then sound like new OLP?

It kinda reminds me of the Proclaimers with some grit, which I like.

I could have sworn I had heard a demo of this song... one of the ~10 second blips the guys post on twitter, vault, youtube, or facebook. But I can't find it now.

Maybe i'm going crazy...

I believe that Duncan's Instagram has some clips of the song in the making.
