New Album in 2012 - "Curve" April 3rd

[Trustworthy]

um, yeah that was a mistake - MY MISTAKE - all fixed now - if you ripped it please keep it to yourself. thanks.

[Long Jonny]

Sounds awesome!!! They killed it on this one...

Longest track since Stealing Babies...

Glad someone else heard it, it's been replaced by the 30 second version. Agreed, this song is freaking amazing, I only got to listen twice and got it stuck in my head. I didn't rip it, not sure if anyone else did either Trusty, so it's probably safe. For those that missed out, I will give you some info, the song is 5:34 long, features some amazing guitar work by Steve and you are all going to love it!

[faninor]

Missed it by that much!

[Long Jonny]

Before everyone gets upset and complains that they didn't get to hear it... don't forget... album will be streaming live in 8 days! So don't fret

[astute_99]

Oh that sucks...the only reason I was able to hear it was because I was literally refreshing Soundcloud every few minutes. I'm on the side of people that have been a bit underwhelmed by the clips, and hearing this song in it's entirety has completely renewed my excitement and anticipation for this record. Curve is gonna kick some ass people!

What are your impressions of the clip? IMO it's a pretty good representation of the song as a whole. Raine has been talking so much about different chord progressions, making the music interesting, and they've definitely done that here.

[Trustworthy]

faccck its one of my favs and is a great song and ..dont think it got out there...if you heard it, well you are lucky, if anyone did rip it, keep it to yourself for the next 2 weeks please OR ELSE heh

[astute_99]

Trusty, no worries my friend, I think only a couple of us heard it, your job is safe

[Trustworthy]

ha! thanks, glad you dig it though - such a solid track, and there are more where that came from!

i was so just about to walk out the door and take the dog for a walk/grab coffee right after i uploaded it - good thing i double checked heh

[Syncopy]

Listened to it a few times now, and it's great. Got great expectation for this album, and this has confirmed it.

I *might* have managed to get a personal recording of it... but with respect to Trusty and the band, it's not going anywhere.

[MindsOnLoan]

Lucky bastards!

Clips sounds pretty good though. I've loved the sound of this song since we first got those initial videos. Sounded like its gonna be kinda Pink Floyd-esque.

[astute_99]

Pink Floyd is a pretty good comparison actually, the ending is quite a long musical outro which OLP hasn't exactly been known for. It definitely has a feel like the guys are in a groove and just going for it! Makes me smile still

[ajk]

Steve's guitar work in this track is as good as I've ever heard from him.... very moody stuff. Love the bass-line in the verse too.

Still hoping for a couple of fist pumping tracks.. but this stuff is definitely good.

[Long Jonny]

Pink Floyd is definitely a good comparison... I got that vibe while listening to it.

[Syncopy]

It's definitely very Pink Floyd-esque. Especially how it fades in at the beginning and fades out at the end.

It's exciting as what I like about OLP is how they change their sound over their career. And this is again, a change in sound and direction. Good stuff!

[faninor]

I've liked everything I've heard from this song from the start of the recording sessions. Listening on headphones, it sounds to me like someone was a little heavy handed with a fader around the 24th/25th second. Not trying to nitpick, it just distracted me from the music and since it was so close to the end of this clip that's the main thought I was left with.

[Trustworthy]

Steve KILLS it on curve...

Some of the things he does on this record are mind blowing - nice to see him in his zone and doing what he does best.

I really question if he is a human being or some sort of crazy guitar playing face melting machine hybrid now though

[astute_99]

I didn't notice the fade so much on first listen, but I heard it after you said something. I was wondering if these clips were altered in any way from the versions that will be on the album, Trusty? Perhaps the sound levels on the whole clip have been brought down a bit, at least it seemed that way to my ears.

[Syncopy]

Steve is a great guitarist, that's never been doubt. IMO the best stuff on the newer albums is when they've let Steve off the chain and let him run wild. Can only hope for more of the same on Curve!

[todddowney]

Clip sounds really good. For those who managed to hear the whole track, any highlights from Raine on this one?
