Song is the definition of meh. Sounds like a huge step back from Asymmetry.

I thought Asymmetry was meh, this has some of the good stuff and some groove. 8/10

I'm sort of disappointed by the new song. It's a solid song really, but I get a strong Themata feeling of this. Just in this day and age, that stuff is no longer cutting edge. I think alternative metal has grown way beyond the 00's sound and I for one am not welcoming of a return of that age.

 

[Crungy]

It's been a while since I tried Asymmetry but I also couldn't get into it. Like it's really intentionally weird for the sake of weird.

The new song is stylistically similar to the previous albums which I prefer but agree it's nothing groundbreaking. It's a shame they've been on the prog rock/metal schedule (cough Tool cough) for album releases. Also a shame because Karnivool is far more melodically and texturally interesting with their songwriting in my opinion.

I really dig the new track. Listened to it a dozen times already. Karnivool doing Karnivool things. I'm really stoked for a new album from them. I've loved every one so far, even if not instantly.

I'm a simple boy. I hear Karnivool I press like.

Song didn’t pull me in fully, but has the Karnivool signature and production on it. Good vocal melodies.

Bird of Tokyo stuff was so good, that I feel like songwriting and vision in it should still hold up. I hope we hear more synth influence in the new stuff to bring it a bit more modern.

Is an album really a 2023 thing? Why tease a single after this long of a wait if that wasn’t coming in a few months?
