Album 15

[Son of Stopped]

So how would you rank the singles from the album?
And how would you rank Brushstrokes of Reunion under or above their others?
I'll answer that myself tomorrow.
Edit: 94! THB era! Will the album get released before page 98 Truth?

phew!

Brushstrokes of Reunion - what a hook! My favourite single so far!

Think the snippet from email was maybe the demo version?

This bit is just beautiful:

I was never ready to feel your pain
To understand the picture on my wall
But then you showed me the colour of your soul
A communication of your love

In brushstrokes of reunion
In brushstrokes of reunion

Kinda sad that they teased with this https://cdn-p.smehost.net/sites/5cfa...BSOR-45SEC.wav and then did the bait and switch.

I hadn't actually checked out the sample from the email, but yeah weird they released that version. I'm guessing that's the demo version from CD2. Kinda more interested in hearing that now with the sample.

Makes me think of the cure but couldn't tell you which song. Chorus could do with a stronger vocal track. Also sounds like Sean is out to prove something with that drum track.

So I just finished watching the DVD on the reissue of SATT. I loved watching the practise sessions and rehearsal footage, yeah the footage is poor quality, but it's a shame the band don't put out anything like this now, at least online. The best thing is the 'track by track' video and Sean is quiet as always but Nicky, wow, he clearly doesn't want to be there as he's messing with his shades, picking at his jacket, rubbing his head... maybe he was hungover badly haha. Wish we did have more visual stuff with recent albums but I guess sadly a lot of people don't bother with DVDs or Blu Rays now. Anyway, bring on the new album, I like the first two singles, third was very meh, not gonna bother with this new one so will wait for the album release and play the CD and vinyl endlessly all week

I don't know what to think of the new single. I like it and dislike it at the same time. There's horrible distortion on the vocals, the vocals themselves sound poorly doubled tracked in places. There's a weird edit where the vocals sound like they are punched in badly that sticks out like a sore thumb. The solo is weird (on the subject of weird JDB solos this has to be up there) and the song ends abruptly in a very odd place. It's grossly overproduced. I know I'll grow to love it but right now it's the weakest out of the four. The demo might have a lot more promise.

I'm quite feeling sad because I was looking forward to this one the most.

Haven’t heard the full version of BFR, but this would be my guess. Explains the chuga chuga acoustic intro of the snippet as well.

DIY mag interview has ‘Out of Time Revival’ as the other fully penned JDB tune

I had one listen to the snippet and decided not to listen again, even to the proper release tomorrow. 3 songs is enough as a taster and I'm going to wait for the album now. But HIPS remains my favourite MSP single in years.
