That is not at all what I was expecting Infallible to sound like.

No one has mentioned Matt's killer drum beat. Love it...

Re: Lightning Bolt - October 15
I'm digging it.
Is this how it actually sounds on the album? Can anyone from the listening parties confirm.

Ha same here, it sounded like muddled bass the whole time to me but my ears aren't trained like many others here.stip wrote:okay, that was pretty great.
I confess I wasn't sure why everyone was so excited about that shitty soundcheck recording.
Now I know.
Regardless, that clip was great. Shit I leave this forum for a few seconds and come back to this bad ass groove, where's the damn leak?!?!?!?!

Reminding me of Riot Act's groove...

If this is our other 'longest' track, it should work perfectly well to reduce / balance the schmaltz of Sirens in the album context. It's moody.

I didn't expect it to be that groovy, for sure. I was expecting more of a sludgy plodder.HardTI wrote:That is not at all what I was expecting Infallible to sound like.

Re: Lightning Bolt - October 15
From the soundcheck clip I know that the vocal melody ascends and the last word has a loooong vowel.
Almost like 'Animal'.
Absolutely different tune, but the delivery is similar

It like Tremor Christ made a bastard child with T.A.T.U. Remember them? I freaking like this, I'm sold. Well I ordered the album anyway
If Amazon is trustworthy, I'm getting it on the 11th.

Re: Lightning Bolt - October 15
We ain't out of the woods yet. The bit where it cuts off is where it goes kinda 'up' for lack of a decent descriptor, you can hear it on the soundcheck, that would be the perfect place for ed to interject how infallible his love is or something.harmless wrote:If this is our other 'longest' track, it should work perfectly well to reduce / balance the schmaltz of Sirens in the album context.

One of the listening listeners said, It becomes a stadium anthem. For that music to be a anthem Ed has to belt off some long sustained vocal things.

It's happening: the big potential for disappointment is there when everyone's looking forward to something.
