Cyndris Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 It's amazing. Love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OriginOfAbso Posted November 7, 2018 Author Share Posted November 7, 2018 I love it, but it oddly leaves me wanting just a bit more since it has the potential of an all-time great. I wish the piano early on was incorporated a little more. And the "with your creator!" bits are a little unsatisfying, like they should go straight into something more epic.

That Little Animal Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 I wish there was 6 minute synth only version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigGeorge Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 I think I'm in the minority that thinks the normal version is better than the AV. It's more subtle, it suits the album better, and I think it's more polished. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's more subtle, it suits the album better, and I think it's more polished. Agree, the AR version is more...impressive, if that’s the word? But for the vibe of the album, they defo made the right call imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Mamba Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 Erm.....Holy F*** Had no expectation of that as an opener. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JessicaSarahS Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 Pretty fucking awesome. I love both versions so much-- I love the alternate version just a tad more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyndris Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 I like both, but prefer the album version because, as other have mentioned, it fits the album better and I also think the intro builds up wonderfully. That part when the staccato strings come in. Fuck yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zepp Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 I agree that while the alt version is like wow the normal one ends up being more satisfying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyndris Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 Actually the reason I like the Alternate version less is because it makes me think of the Spider-Man game soundtrack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LucasWay89 Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 Alternative version is fucking massive, needs to open the shows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartianSpaghettiRider Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 The alternative version, if anything, shows that Matt must absolutely try to compose a film soundtrack. If he won't before he'll eventually retire from music, I'm going to be disappointed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FabriPav Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 I'd love the alternate version as an instrumental. Matt's voice is very out of place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frozenbanana Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 My only complaint is that it isn't longer. Other than that, well, fucking fuck. Part of me wishes the rest of the album had taken on the atmosphere and scope of this song and The Void, with The Dark Side in there as well as the outer limit of the album's 'pop' element instead of something like Get Up and Fight. A properly doomy, grand fucking statement, with passages like the second half of Bowie's Low and more tracks that sound like Take a Bow, Map of the Problematique and Isolated System fused with the synthwave elements. Having said that, if we'd got that we wouldn't have got Break it to Me or Propaganda, and I'm weirdly pretty fond of both already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
projektxtal Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 Almost a shame they're doing stadiums this album, dark moody opening with Algorithm and lasers and stuff would set the tone perfectly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jobby Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 Almost a shame they're doing stadiums this album, dark moody opening with Algorithm and lasers and stuff would set the tone perfectly That’s exactly what I’m expecting tbh. Like you said, it sets up the tone for the whole era perfectly. I’d imagine (hope) they know this album’s not exactly gonna get the mosh pits going so hopefully they won’t have a problem with opening w/ an atmospheric slow burner.

psychosaff Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 I prefer the original version (the Alt version is okaaaay). Great album opener, might be my favorite track so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
