Now that this CD has leaked, what are your thoughts on it? Personally, I think it's their best effort yet. The CD is full of energy and it's very heavy. But at the same time, it's extremely catchy and melodic. My favorite tracks after three listens are: Straight Jacket Fashion, The Fad, and Antisaint
I don't know if this is allowed, I think it is...since I'm not asking for a link to the leak or anything. Is the group that leaked the album Birdcatcher?
First listen didn't really get to me, but now I agree with that statement. Let it grow on you. It's still good. But not as good as TTOTCDUI...just not yet at least.
I'll give it a listen next week, when I'm home. I was extremely disappointed with the clip of the single I heard. Sounded worse than anything on their last album.
I'm only a couple songs in but I think it's outstanding so far. I love how Sam's actually double-kicking on this album. They said they were going to do that on This Type of Thinking (Could Do Us In) but there was really only one song with it. They actually used double-kick here and it works out really well. I think this album is solid so far, but I don't know if any Chevelle album will get me going as well as Wonder What's Next did. That album was just perfect.
It sounds really exciting so I'll have to get it when I get home. I liked the single a lot, so I bet this is a great CD
I honestly think this is the best Chevelle CD and tops everything before it. It's definitely a very solid CD, from beginning to end, i'm hooked. I like how they stepped it up like Breaking Benjamin and Three Days Grace did for 2006. my Favorite songs right now are Antisaint and Braniac. I love the guitar/bass(?) part in the background where it sounds like a "helicopter"(sorry, that's the only way I can describe it, i'm instrumentally inclined)
I'm going to wait until the album makes its way into the stores in Australia into my hands. Because i haven't done this in awhile i normally just download it but it normally ruins the experience. Its great news about the double kick
I thought Three Days Grace new album was a lot better, but Breaking Benjamin's new album was nothing in comparison to their debut. Still, after listening to the new single a lot more it is growing on me... I'll have the album in a couple of days to comment on that.
I can't stop listening to the album. It's really good. I love just about all the songs on the disc. It's really good. Did I mention it's really good? (Also I think Three Days Grace's new CD was outstanding compared to their debut, but also thought [as did you] that nothing they've done since their debut is as good as it.)
yeah, I'm dissapointed with Breaking Benjamin's new album compared to their previous work. I've only heard Well Enough Alone, Antisaint and Humanoid so far. I'm gonna have to check out a few more of the songs. When is the album actually being released?
yea ive only listened to entire album about once or so all the way through. i really like the style of music from this album. some may complain it sounds too much alike but i think every song (give or take 1) shows you something new you havnt heard from chevelle before. so far my favorite song is 'Saferwaters'. im sure within the next month other songs will stand out and im sure my favorite wont stay the same for long. i dont think this album will quite stand up next to TTOTCDUI and match it, but this album is definitely something to keep my interest throughout the summer.
i finally listened to the whole album and i loved it. this cd is right up there with their previous two. chevelle just gets better and better with each cd. favs are antisaint, well enough alone, the fad, humanoid.
Fantastic album from start to finish. I agree that it's their best work thus far. I think that for now "The Fad" is my favorite track.
