Against the Waves sounds like a band two decades into their careers trying to recreate a former sound. Ed sounds awful on it as well.
Amongst*. And I never agreed with this. What prior sound is it trying to create? I think it's referencing a former sound and adding a more groovy rhythm and a subtler approach to the guitars. To say it tries to be an old song and fails is silly.
Auto correct...
It is my opinion that the song is trying to recreate an anthem type song (i.e. Alive) and it fails to do so. Ed's vocal take really drags the song down for me. The music is ok, but it just doesn't do anything for me as a whole.

underneath all that awful awful song quality obviously. i'm intrigued.
It does doesn't it?! I am convinced that this will still sound heaiver than most of their catalog even once we hear a proper version.
I fear heavy, but also glossy.
I think the tour video is enough to assure us it won't be *as* glossy as Backspacer.

i think in general people like it. maybe its just relative b/c most of that album blows
I liked it before the album release but then again I don't think the album blows.
I was thinking this morning .... I think I like Amongst the Waves better than Given to Fly. Fuck me in the brain.
Amongst the Waves has a lot of potential, it just sounds like shit on the record. Why are the guitars so quiet during the chorus?
I don't get why they have to be any louder, but then I'm not a guitarist. It seems to me that a lot of people dislike certain new PJ based on the guitar, whereas because I've never really listened to the guitar (it's just there for me, and I'm not fussy about it) I've generally been fine with songs like ATW.
The guitars throughout Backspacer are more complimentary than primary. Overall I think the Album was made to be driven by Matt and Jeff musically
Yup. And maybe people who aren't as interested in the subtleties of the rhythm section won't be as interested in the album.
I'd say overall rhythm is more important to me than melody, but I don't care about BS at all

At this point I'm fairly convinced the guitars will be too clean. And when they play it live, they'll make them cleaner.

fuck yeah bro!! i'm going to keep it to that one shitty listen and now wait for the glorious clean version that will lead to self-combustion.
I gotta admit..based on the initial shitty recording listen I've heard I started dry humping the air. So I stopped listening and figurde I should do the same as you and wait for the actual version to come out.
