Aw man I knew this would happen. I just can't listen to the snippets. I didn't do it for NWO and I can't do it for this. I did it for Insomnia and that just ruined the surprise. I'm just gunna wait it out and listen to it in whole. Gunna be hard though with these sweet comments.

I envy you lol. I always say that Im not gonna, but then I do. So now I just dont try hahahaha.



Anyways, Menina sounds better and better with each listen.
MENINA LOUCA, I DONT WANT TO KISS AND HOLD YA
I JUST WANNA GRAB YA THROAT AND CHOKE YA
BEAT AND BEND YOU OVA

they need to get new drums. or better recorded drums. im sick of listening to the punk bass drum kicks with NO bass. fuck that.

oh were getting double bass now. Jeremiah, was like it was me in a room with my drum set alone, not no programmed drums like devon had

Madman. Gimme more goss! Specifics. Haha.

Alrighty! lol. Lets see. Well I know you like Everything All The Time, so you will probably like Murder. Its a dirty sex song that has a really funky vibe to it.


Oh and It's All Over's chorus is really really melodic. Its got like a epic world-ending vibe to it, I dont know how to describe it, but it goes "Can ya feel it? I can feel it. It's all over, it's ALL FUCKIN OVERRRR". Then it goes into verse and Jahred is using that scream/screech rap type voice...but it sounds a little bit different.

A lot of the songs sound really heavy. But then there's IT'S ALRIGHT, that sounds like this really chill vibed yet fast paced rap/reggae 'ish song (the melodica is used). It sounds dope. Here are the lyrics in the snippet:

The time has come, to find our way
Unite the tribe in the desert bays
Build a house on the foundation of truth and despair
Fight the good fight, stand your ground
Fill the air with the righteous sound
Find yourself in the lost and found
Beware of the waves
No, I cant sick back, I cant keep quiet
I speak my truth, you cant deny it
I'm not a victim, I'm in control
We are the ones, we bring the hope
Through the valley, the river flows
Against the current, we forward go
And I'm not afraid to do whats right....

Aw man lyrics sound awesome!

I love Everything All the Time. AAAAAAARGGGGH!

I can't wait to hear the whole thing through.

Cheers man.

it sounds good, but its not metal at all. Its like a heavier version of punk

I like the song Bad News. That sounds dope! "You're fired! We sick of all the bad news!"

I agree with you; it"s more hardrock punk than metal.

I can't stop listening to

It's all Over
This Fire
Stand Up
Forward Go!
Bad News
Children Of The Fall
White House

I'm falling madly in love with Bad News

I'm a little confused. The tracklist on Amazon shows all the intros and songs. But I have seen on a few other sites (including Best Buy) give this tracklist:

1. Truth Rising
2. It's All Over
3. No Rest For the Wicked
4. This Fire
5. Takeover
6. Stand Up
7. Menina
8. Forward Go!
9. Murder
10. Bad News
11. No More Secrets
12. We Are the Ones
13. Whitehouse
14. Love You Show, The
15. Judgment Day

I'm sure it's just those sites that are wrong, but still interesting. We know Amazon is not wrong because they have actual clips of the songs.

i need this album like now. the sample is like a tiny hit. i am ready for the tokes

yeah word, at first I was a bit skeptic (again), but after hearing those samples... man I think I'm gonna like this one over NWO

Alright, I wasn't expecting anything good after seeing the album cover and especially the shitty video. But hearing this makes me believe a little more that they can actually deliver something decent. Love Takeover a lot, sound fucking old skool!
Menina, WTF? Sounds fucking cool though...

What does an album cover and music clip have to do with a bands sound?

Pretty much nothing. Haha.



Trying not to wear out the snippets. I want the album NAO!

it just has a old school hardcore punk sound, its still jared screamin/ kinda rapping/ singing.

the video i agree could have been better but i guess the message is cool tho. stand up even if its bigger then u .. We are not afride

Love the clip. A jump in a creative direction. I like that it doesn't look amazing. It's got a real raw/DIY feel.

It makes a sort of expectation. Like when the video for Renegade looked pretty cool i was expecting more of the album. That's just how it works with me, i more look at the complete package. Plus, the album cover made me think of a really bad metal band .

Really?

Each to their own.

As they say- Never judge a book by it's cover.

nicely said one of my fave quotes

if u cant pick a good cover how can u expect to have 100 pages with something worth lookin at then huhhhhh huh wha?

the cover i didn't like, the video i liked a lot!
But it has nothing to do with the music (except one song, that IS in the video)
