Issues - Beautiful Oblivion (October 4th, 2019) Album • Page 2

@beachdude thoughts? I dig it much more than Tapping Out.

 

I’m gonna be sad when he agrees haha. I love Tapping Out so much, I wonder why it clicked with me and not with so many others.

Those variants are literally the best set of variants I’ve seen for an album in a while. I didn’t mind splurging a bit extra for the Banquet one- I wasn’t sure if the Rocksound was going to turn out the way it looks or if it was more of a picture disc, and there was no way I was buying a t-shirt I’d never wear lol. The rainbow one, again, could be really hit or miss in reality, but it’s such a cool concept.

 

New single rules

 

This song is so much closer to what I want from them. Catchier, riffier, way less busy

 

I actually really do like Drink About It, they might just survive the Howard Benson Experience yet

 

Tapping Out has actually grown on me a little bit. Still think that was a really bad choice for a first single and very much dislike the bridge, but I’m picking up on some nu meta vibes that I wasn’t really hearing before. That outro is super Deftones

 

Drink About It is that groovy, technical R&B vibe I absolutely love from this band. More of this please.

 

really hate that i dont hate drink about it lol

 

Still really into Drink About It. Hoping the rest of the album lives up.

 

album rules, tapping out might have the most screaming but the whole thing is super heavy (when it makes sense), really groovy and excellent

 

Did it leak?

 

Did it leak or are you lucky to have an advance?

 

nah i have an advance

 

Are you able to share anymore thoughts? Mainly wondering how it stacks up to their previous stuff.

Happy to hear Tapping Out has the most screaming on their. I actually grew to like the song but the screaming sounds out of place. With ditching Michael I would have preferred them to drop screaming altogether to basically do COMA/Never lose your flames x10.

 

I can share thoughts later - I love this record - have had to for about a month+

 

Better than Headspace?

 

I think so

 

i'll be v impressed if these guys turn out to be the first band in like 12 years to survive the Howard Benson Experience

 

Any more details you can share @Drew Beringer @red8ge ? Very curious about this one

 

Got my advance... oh yeah, this is EASILY their best album. "Flexin" is gonna blow minds.

 

Wow, y'all lucky! Getting me HYPED.

 

Damn I wish I had an advance haha! Good to hear it slays though.

 

If you enjoyed Headspace you’ll definitely be VERY happy with this I think. They improved on all the best aspects of that album, and rectified most of its weaknesses. Easily their most consistent collection of songs.

 

How would you say the rest of the songs compare to the singles?

 

Flexin' out at Midnight tonight-- drip, drip, drip
