I'm gonna buy the album. Anybody complaining that they are bringing their best with what has been posted so far is just looking to hate them.

I cannot stand the sound of the drums. Sounds like a robot. Quantization overkill. The song is cool but not blowing me away. sounds like a steve vai thing.

Too early to tell but it looks like the BOO-TWDA case, where half of the album was a complete sellout and the other half was great. REALLY disappointed with this track!

I never listened to the second record, but the first one, at least to me, sounded more like a demonstration of what Tosin was able to without anything remotly resembling a "song". Really impressive as a musician, and it actually sounded good, but nothing memorable...
This song on the other hand... wow. Sounds great, not in a "how do you play this with just 2 hands?" way, but as a song. Maybe I just never understood the old stuff. Maybe I should not have stopped trying after 2 or 3 spins. This one immediatly clicked. Good stuff

Don't understand all the hate, nothing revolutionary but a headbanger for sure

It's live drums. They even posted the video of the drums being tracked a couple months back.

I didn't really enjoy AALs second album that much but I liked the first album and I like the new tracks. I like that it's more "metal" sounding than the second album was.

Enjoyed both of their albums particularly the second one, it's a nice album to chill out to without things being way over the top y'know. I like that they have some variety going on.

Lol, quantizing can and will be applied on live recorded drums in modern production.
That being said, I think the drums sound awesome. That short, but high attack sounds so damn aggressive, but still leaves so much space open for the rest of the mix.
And the song is solid as well. Just overall, great job - can't wait for the album.

yeah, just because a drummer records into microphones doesn't mean that's what you're gonna hear in the final product either.....

Sumerian definitely leads with the djentiest sumerian-core songs on the album so while I don't doubt there will be other, better stuff on there... these songs are really not what I want to hear from these guys. Best VoM song ever for sure. Mix is super sick tho
Maybe it will grow on me, but listening to that 2nd track really does nothing for me.
That said I'm a huge fan of the band so I'll definitely be buying the album.
