arj225 Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Bass guitar work is quite nice, other than that nothing special, not amazing but definitely not bad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

forevermusic Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Just heard the proper version for the first time. I like it more on first listen than Dead Inside (even if I prefer where I first heard that), but because I've got used to the latter, I'm not as arsed by it as the other 3 tracks from Drones that we know so far. The Black Holes vibe is appropriate, although it did remind me a little of Resistance. Did Dom say anything of interest in his chat? It's finally "gutless" and not "godless". Glad to be proven wrong. Least they weren't mad enough to use the line "Turn me into a power drone" as was suggested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdrunner95 Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Sounds like it's a different mix? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forevermusic Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 ... oh, and whoever said the font in the lyric video looks shit, agreed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
user0e507dded9 Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Wonder when the official proper video will be released then? They've certainly filmed it due to the instagram picture earlier this week. Chorus is still very catchy - been in my head all day from listening to it last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopix Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 I thought the lyric video was pretty good, I mean you run out of options before it starts to become an actual music video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Planet.pgs Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Welp, this is the one with the cow synth. And also, how is nobody commenting on the gorgeous harmonies and synth action?!!! The guitar's much stronger than I expected, and it's much rockier than Starlight! I think the lack of depth has a simple explanation. It's called MP3.

Tesseract Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 I actually really like the lyric video with the little paper cutouts telling a story. Reminds me of the game Limbo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spark_ Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Can you guys hear how awkward the "MERCY" sounds in the chorus? That's my only real complaint. It made me shiver in the live leak, but in the actual song it feels like there should be something else to 'cover it up' a little. Yeah agree with this. Those layered vocals sound really, really out of place for some reason, like they've just been slapped on top of the mix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HomesickSubterranean Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Sounds like it's a different mix? The highs are definitely less prominent (the synths are a lot more audible) but I wonder if that's just Youtube's audio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

White Heat Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 If this is the worst from Drones it's gonna be a great album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Citizen Erased 01 Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Yes, when I heard it live it was a cross between Starlight and Glorious when I heard the recent leak I thought it reminded me of Follow me and Starlight Now on the radio, you are right, it's like a version of Madness I didn't mean Mercy when I said that, was talking about a song by someone else acouple of tracks before Mercy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-FutureStar- Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 I actually really like the lyric video with the little paper cutouts telling a story. Reminds me of the game Limbo. Yes! I'm fine with the video. It's better than the official Dead Inside one IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwingsrock Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Going to toot my own horn on this about the "gutless" lyric..... Also, I like the lyric video as well, although the font is a bit odd. In terms of the mix, it sounds relatively the same to me. The backing vocals in the chorus seem a bit more prevalent though. I like the song!

Captain Radiator Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Small thing I've just noticed; the mp3 from yesterday is only 8.2mb while todays official download mp3 is 11.2mb, so it is different, in some way at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jobby Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 I like the font. It seems blurry though, especially when it zooms in, as if it's low quality? Doesn't really suit the band/song either. 'gutless and mean' though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
