      That's exactly what I thought with Circle With Me. They are looking to expand their audience and that leads to playing in front of larger crowds on larger tours. "Fans" might complain but they deserve more recognition and they can't get that staying in the same place.

    @BarstucksCoffee 3 ปีที่แล้ว +24

    YES! I mentioned on Joao's livestream that the clean taps had a solid Tosin vibe. Regardless of that, I do love the restraint in this track. Simple but a lot of conplexity between the layers they've implemented. I've seen a lot of comments sadly lamenting because of how "generically composed" or "radio friendly" this is, but it would be such a waste for a band like this to not explore this direction. It's the same sentiment as to why I like ERRA's self-titled so much, so I reckon I'll find it very difficult to decide which will be my favourite 2021 album when Spiritbox drops theirs this September.

    Every sub genre metal is following a very narrow path, and here’s Spiritbox, way out in front just doing all of it better than everyone.
    The bassline with the pitch shifted 7 string makes the low end sound so insane. Love it. I’m highly anticipating “Yellowjacket” featuring Sam Carter. Courtney has said she feels that’s the heaviest track on the new record, and Sam Carter on anything is just unreal.

    I immediately pre-ordered one of their fancy looking LPs when I saw them. I have full confidence the entire album will be a banger.

    Mike is a beast. Honestly. He's one of the few people who actually get a pass on the "not knowing theory" thing to me. That said, maybe he has gotten the time to learn it since last I knew.
    Anyway, the fact that he doesn't know theory proper doesn't mean that he doesn't know what he's doing, he damn well knows what he is doing. He's killing it. You can't get to this level of proficiency by not knowing how to play. It's like an eloquent speaker who just never learned to read, it's not impossible to be an eloquent speaker who can't read, it's just the hard way to do it, much harder than just learning to read after gaining a little bit of basic understanding of how to speak.
    Music is a language, it is just a purely abstract one. You can not express specific, exact, denotative, precise things in the same way as words based languages can, but words based languages are completely incapable of expressing the same things that music can. It's closer to communicating directly in emotion, and I think that Spiritbox is truly pulitzer prize winning level of eloquent in this regard.
    Somehow there is an X factor, and a quintessence about the music they make.
    It's a perfect blend of varied musical ideas and influences, including prog, pop, metal, ambient, and even some hip hop underpinnings from time to time, depending upon your definitions of those things.
    It's simultaneously music to be taken completely seriously, and also has never abandoned a playfulness in the particulars of one element or another.
    Courtney is undeniably masterful, she's right up there with Tatiana and Lauren Babic, but of course very different than them in many ways.
    The bass is always stankface nasty.
    The drums are always utterly fantastic.
    You can hear everyone exactly how you should be able to hear them, I don't know what it is in the mixing that's different, or who does it, but they are constantly top freaking notch.
    My only complaint is one that many people actual disagree with, but I wish they took a somewhat less abstract approach to lyrics, I feel like some of the songs are so vague as to be difficult to understand what is even being said, or if that is even the aim.
    I know Courtney has said that she takes an approach to writing that is more about the interaction of the sounds within the words and music, and how that doesn't always lead her to be making any real specific points, but more about coming up with combinations of words that emphasize a broader emotional point instead of having more cohesive message.
    But I personally am always so focused on things having meaning, even if I don't agree with the point being made, that it feels like a waste not to also be trying to make a philosophical or theological point in your songs.
    Like, holy roller.. What is it saying? What perspective is being shared? Is it directly a shot at religion in general? Could be, but it feels like it is actually more nuanced than that, more like a shot at hypocrisy within some streams of religious thought.. But I can't really see enough evidence to say, either way, exactly what she means to communicate with that song..
    And I think that "death of the author" (or to those unfamiliar with the concept, to pretend that there is no way of knowing what any particular person's point was, and taking a work as though it was formed in a vacuum without authorial intent) is at best naiive, and at worst does actual violence to the interpretation of anything, because it is foolish to assume we can simply decide what some thing means devoid of context, and the most relevant context to any text or work of art is the person responsible for it's creation in the first place.
    But if that person doesn't know what they meant, whether purposefully or not, then it becomes very difficult to interpret anything.
    Again, it just feels like a missed opportunity.
    Especially when it is couched in what is absolutely transcendently beautiful and compelling like the music of spiritbox really is. It is unbelievably good.
    It's like they can not put out a bad track. That sort of consistency is just not reasonable to expect for any band, and I can't imagine how they continue to drop banger after banger like this. So good it hurts.
