I've not heard it yet but I'm going to cancel all my pre orders ...... :noey: /troll

[-FutureStar-]

Revolt is nowhere near as bad as people are saying. Haha!

 

I dunno what to think about Defector... Very weird.

 

Oh god. I'm one of those people now.

[Con101]

Jesus some people will never be satisfied. I went in with moderate expectations, and was not disappointed.

 

Some of you look like you were expecting the second coming of jesus or some shit.

 

:LOL:

 

I haven't heard it yet, but im going in with similarly moderate expectations

[Citizen Erased 01]

Revolt is nowhere near as bad as people are saying. Haha!

 

I dunno what to think about Defector... Very weird.

 

Oh god. I'm one of those people now.

 

his singing is horrific in Revolt

[AdamCee]

So only me that thinks The Handler is a bit shit then?

 

Nope.

 

 

I was so gutted

[Hazzr]

Youve got to think theyve seen its leaked and are maybe following this thread, they must be curious at our reactions at the least.

 

Dead Inside 6/10 I like

Psycho 4/10 meh

Mercy 6/10 i like for the most part

Reapers 8/10 love it but cringe lyrics

The handler 10/10 love it

Defector 5/10 meh

Revolt 2/10

Aftermath 6/10 like

The Globalist 6/10 heavy part

Drones 2/10

 

All relative to my 'scores' for their earlier stuff but yeah i wont be buying nd am very disappointed

[MAurelia]

This board...

Guys come on, you cannot be serious.

 

What were you expecting?

The best album of planet earth up to today or what?

 

Its a strong album, I really dig it, didnt have any expectations except being giddy and I got mused again.

 

Love this feeling when I listened to the album first time. Every single time im just stunned. Without negativity or positivity. Only band that gives me the chills every time.

 

Rating in 1 month.

 

Same!

[lewislimes]

half way through Revolt... it's interesting

[CatchHellBlues]

Nope.

 

 

I was so gutted

 

Finding it terribly run of the mill...

[AdamCee]

In fairness, it normally takes me a few listens to like a song so perhaps my opinion will change

 

 

But no way is the second half anything on the first

[problemattic6492]

I want an album of Matt doing Gregorian choral music.

 

But really, I like Drones. I'd put it behind only Reapers and The Handler (that says a lot about how I feel about the rest of the album). Listening on headphones that have gigantic headroom definitely helps.

 

I've never been able to hear lyrics in choral music, so that's probably a good thing. In fact, this is the only song where I don't have to listen to Matt's lyrics. So that makes it way easier to listen to.

So only me that thinks The Handler is a bit shit then?

 

I think so Why do you say that? I wanna know

[Sleepybear]

Revolt is nowhere near as bad as people are saying. Haha!

Oh god. I'm one of those people now.

 

I quote enjoyed it upon my first listen. Certainly preferred it over Defector which dragged on.

[-FutureStar-]

his singing is horrific in Revolt

 

Really?? It's so catchy... I understand that it's very commercial and not particularly original... But I can't see anything offensive with it. Haha!

[Hopix]

Finding odd lapses of quality in this mp3 version, whatever.

 

And fuck me is there a lot of melodrama in this thread.

[Aeterna]

I'm on Revolt, not entirely sure what they've done here. Oh jesus what is this

 

I don't know, I still believe that it can GROOOOOW on me. Who knows? Not as bad as Madness.

On Aftermath now. Wasn't expecting those synths...

 

actually it gets a lot better as it goes, but his vocals at the start were just nasty haha, so full of cheese it hurt

[-FutureStar-]

Oh god the vocals on Aftermath... The music is nice...

[frozenbanana]

Revolt is a grower, it must be said.

[topo_musero]

I think after BHAR (arguably TR) they forgot how to write cohesive albums (and good music.. with exceptions).
