Acceptance - Wild, Free (October 2, 2020) Album • Page 4

Sooooo GAD just released 2 songs through Equal Vision Records?!?!?!?!

 

I'll need a few more listens but I enjoyed what I've heard. It feels like an extension of Colliding By Design, sometimes to a fault as it doesn't seem to have as many standouts and it blends together a little. I like the The Killers vibe I notice at times too.

 

yeah it definitely feels a tad underwhelming and Jasons vocal style isn't exactly what I want from him but I'm definitely willing to give it time to grow on me. I still like it a fair amount.

 

On my first listen Dark Age stood out. Not too crazy about the first four tracks. On Bend the Light now

 

Idk what you all are listening to but this is really great

This is a much more cohesive than CbD, and these songs are very “sit on the porch and have a drink and relax” vibe that’s very specific for me, but really puts me in a specific place and mindset

 

definitely feels like the Killers at times, Dark Age and Release and Let Go especially. and honestly, a lot of the vocal delivery kind of gives me some Springsteen vibes. i dont listen to too much new music these days and this will definitely be in my rotation for a long while. i just think I liked the style of CbD a bit more, but really, almost anything they put out is gold IMO

Also, not a fan of releasing 6 songs before the album comes out. Wish they would just release a single, then maybe one more song like a week before the album, then hit us with the whole thing.

also, did anyone get the B-Sides link?

 

It does kind of feel like The Killers and reminds me of a lot of other stuff when really I want more stuff that sounds like Phantoms, lol.

I wish there were more bands trying to sound like 2000s pop rock.

 

Eh there were so many bands doing that sound back in the day that I don't really miss it.

 

the B-sides should've been on this album, tbh.

 

I haven’t got the download link to the album or b-sides.

cool cool cool

 

upon three spins, the album is great. i still haven't heard the one that has hooked me in yet. then again, my listens so far have been away from the screens and on random, so i don't know which song i'm actually hearing. i need one more listen in my car on the road somewhere to focus on them.

btw, if anyone is willing to share the digital b-sides, that would be greatly appreciated.

 

I saw a few of you mentioning there was Killers vibes to this. Turned on the record and holy crap "Midnight" sounds like something the Killers would've wrote.

Overall digging this so far. Perfect music for the fall.

 

I am sadly in the same boat. Who knows when they will be able to get it in.

 

Would love to be able to buy the b-sides and support the band. I don’t collect Vinyl, is that the only way to get them at the moment?

 

My orange crush vinyl came today. Thought it was gonna be a splatter but it’s a very bright solid orange.
(EDIT - apparently it was always bright solid orange and i misremembered)

 

I think CBD offers a lot more variety and cool stuff in general. This is all very one note all the way through.

 

Please let us not insult Acceptance by comparing them to The Killers.

Thanks!

 

Cold Air reminds me of So Cold from Further Seems Forever

 

I do get FSF vibes, killers vibes, Springsteen vibes. Most of them are vibes I don’t care for. I just want some driving guitars and pep. I like the dark, moody, atmospheric stuff that really came into the mix during CBD but some urgency and like...catchy melodies...would be dope.

 

I do like fsf vibes though lol

 

Except The Killers are great, weird post

 

I mean it’s not THAT weird

 

The similarity is there so yes?

 

None of the new songs stood out to me at all, really. I’m not sure if this band is overall my cup of tea anymore. The melodies and lyrics still just seem uninspired. I was really hoping for better with their second return album. Couple of the songs from the EP stood out though. Song with the “front lines” line is killer.

 

Knowing what some of the lyrics are about; “uninspired” makes me kinda mad to be honest
