This sounds like it came straight from Crash

You stick around hoping for a show from 4 years ago....

dude, get a fucking life.

This has officially done in me, I'm so fucking pumped for Away From The World!!!

davedave81 · 06-28-2012, 01:35 PM

I guess I'm missing something. This song does nothing for me. Listened to it twice, and actually shut it off half way through the second time. It's lacking. It sounds like its building to something, and never gets there. There's no groove, there's no hook that sticks in my head. I've forgotten everything about it already. This couldn't have made it anywhere near Crash. It's not just the speed. Take PM, it's similar in overall tempo, (I'm not a musician, so probably not using the right word) but PM has interest and changes. This song is boring.

Mattardz · 06-28-2012, 01:35 PM

So The Riff studio version is going to sound pretty good then........

It is curious that a song which has gotten almost 100% positive reviews doesn't seem to register with you....

So excited.

Listening to Carter alone makes this song interesting to me. I think everyone else sounds great also.

DMBFan4Life5 · 06-28-2012, 01:37 PM

Wow. Sounds like it belongs on Crash. The studio versions of these songs are going to be unbelievable.

Lilllywhite is back!!

joyride7tbowa · 06-28-2012, 01:40 PM

the only problem i have with it is for the first minute or so, in some parts it sounds like dave is trying to fit too many words in some spots and it just sounds ehh on those parts. but other than that, the music is fucking brilliant, the lyrics are outstanding, and that end jam is just...........wow. perfect

cworty06 · 06-28-2012, 01:42 PM

thank you steve lillywhite for bringing this band back....simply stunning

I knew Mercy was my favorite of the new tunes for a reason.

No. The radio cut will be shorter (3:15 or so i'd guess)

Can't wait for If Only and The Riff studio.

How does one do this?

Oh, I'm well aware I'm in the minority. Didn't care for it much when I heard the first live cuts, was hoping the studio would bring something we weren't getting live. Guess not. It's performed well and produced perfect, but that doesn't make it a good song to me, that's all.

I'm right with you! This is phenomenal!

The optimism on this board is really starting to freak me out.

sheldonlevene · 06-28-2012, 02:01 PM

Really strong production. Really strong instrumentals by everyone. BT sounds solid. Tim's work with the jam/choppy section before the piano breakdown. Brilliant. Jeff and RR adding little grace notes.

I'm excited.

Strong reading skills we have here.

I stick around because I know what the band is capable of and hope to witness it at shows from time to time, and Alpine 2008 is a reference point I made because it was all-time great stuff. I don't bash every new song they come out with or every show I go to, but I'm also not blind to the fact that, in terms of new material, they're past their prime. And that's ok.

Also, smoke more marijuana.

trippinchad · 06-28-2012, 02:08 PM

I knew the production would be great. SOunds awesome I like it.

Roi came to Jeff in a dream and said...."Here, play this at the end!"

I applaud Jeff on this one, he really nailed it

songjanelikes34 · 06-28-2012, 02:12 PM

Thank you Steve lillywhite unbelievable work. It's nice to see ants appreciating this I love it too !

trippinchad · 06-28-2012, 02:15 PM

The ending has given me goosebumps everytime I've listened to it. It's awesome..I just wish it was longer.

Num4TOne · 06-28-2012, 02:15 PM

just absolutely beautiful...i love how subtle boyd and jeff are in the background of the verses....layers galore..

ericvol · 06-28-2012, 02:16 PM

This song is amazing and perfect. Anyone who doesn't like it is just trying to be a hater.

jammasterjustin · 06-28-2012, 02:25 PM

The studio version is nice, but i'm not noticing any direct differences from how they're playing it live nowadays. Jeff and Tim play the same riffs during the outro in the live versions
