agreed DG, but admittedly the single is a big factor. I did like some of the other clips I heard so I have hope...cautiously optimistic.

I agree. At least wait for the whole album. We already know the Wolf is amazing... so that's one....

This CD is also make or break for me, for OLP. Can't justify buying records when they keep disappointing. Live they are as great as always, maybe even better (at least better than 5 or 6 years ago). But the last 2 CDs have come out worse than the demos and clips that are leaked. Hopefully that changes with this one.

I wouldn't exactly say he's not holding back. It sounds like the same level of singing from burn burn. It's ok, I was expecting something a little more raw, but this is only 40 seconds so I'll wait for the rest of the song.

Not a fan of the talk-singing, it reminds me of his solo work. Falsetto is nice to hear again, but again, it all sounds fairly restrained.

I absolutely love this clip, and I know it's only a clip so I'll wait to hear the whole song, but I think this is going to be my fav OLP single since A/L/S for sure

I should clarify that this does sound better than any other single off burn burn. But that's mostly because they didn't pick good singles off of it (compared to other choices they could have made).

My main worry is that this isn't raw at all, or unrestrained. I know most will disagree, but I hope everyone keeps in mind what happened with Burn Burn. Everyone was so hyped and so pumped when they first heard All You Did, and then months later most people were saying it was a weaker song.

Right now we're starved for OLP music, so anything sounds good to everyone. But looking at it objectively, this sounds like a fuzzier Burn Burn song, maybe with a bit more punch.

I obviously won't judge their entire album off of this, as AYD wasn't a great representation either. I just hope it's a little edgier than this.

I like the pre-chorus (if thats what it is) but the chorus almost brings it down from what I hear in that clip. The talking instead of singing is getting a little too prominent in the new material. But it sounds like this song has some promise.
Is there something good, something more?
Is there anything worth dying for?

Don't really know how I feel about it. Bit mixed. Very different than their Other stuff. Falsetto is very buried in there ... I didn't even realize he was singing it until the last 2 seconds of the clip

I dig it. Only heard it on my phone, but from the sound of it, I don't think I'm gonna be disappointed.

That's definitely a different form of falsetto, but I like it.
