I'm really digging the album after multiple listens. I agree with what a lot of others have said, you really have to listen to the songs as a whole taking in all the instruments vs. just focusing on the guitars. Sure, it's not the Discovery (which is what got me into BOO) but it's a great album in my book anyways.

Does anyone know how much Drop C was used vs. Drop G on this album?

Was Discovery all Drop G?

 

[JosephAOI]

The New Reign and A Higher Place were all Drop C. The Discovery was all Drop G.

New album, this is what my ears are telling me:

Machine: Drop C
Divergency: Drop C
Mindful: Drop G
Exhilarate: Drop C
Absolution: Drop C
The Origin: Drop G
Aeon III: Drop G
Imaginary Condition: Drop G
Illusionist: Drop G
Source Field: Drop G
Vengeance: Drop G

So, only 4 songs in Drop C. Not 100% sure about Mindful though. It sounds like C most of the song but for the riff at 1:20.

EDIT: They could use GCGCFAD for Mindful? Only using the 7th for a couple sections?

You sure about Exhilarate? That first verse sounds like it's a G and a whammy bar.

Hmm, I think you could be right. So I'm not sure about Exhilarate and Mindful.

Well, I keep my 7's in pretty much the same tuning. (Drop B with a low F# for me) And I definitely have a few songs where I don't hit the 7th string. But 6 strings are just too damn tiny, so I only play my 7's these days.

^ First thought was that it bore similarity to Bland Street Bloom, luckily people in the comments already pointed it out.

Jesus.

 

[Joose]

Jesus.

He may be.

 

[Alphanumeric]

Lee and Cameron are the songwriters, the Discovery was 95% them. This album slays

Imaginary Condition
Absolution especially the outro
Origin
Mindful

Win.

 

[Joose]

I've finally gotten over the upbeat parts in Absolution; because the rest of it is killllllerrrrr.

 

[Addison90]

Hey guys, decided to record the solo of "XIV". Link to tab is included, hope you like it ;-)

So, what are your thoughts on the new album?

 

[Fat-Elf]

Best song on the album, until the very out of place outro.

 

[Joose]

^Oh I have to disagree there. The outro was what first made me give it another shot.

 

[Velokki]

I really liked Tomorrow We Die Alive... but the songs just don't last too many listens. Illusionist is an instant classic, though.
