Norma Jean - All Hail (October 26, 2019) Album • Page 5

One thing I'll say is the production is fucking amazing on these tracks.

 

I appreciate the diversity so far, this one has a bit more of a Meridional vibe. The clean guitars are very The Haunted (The Dead Eye era) and I'll take more of this please.

 

Did this leak?

 

Not yet, I wish the release wasn't this far as we already got 3 singles though

 

With Errors easily my favorite of the 3, jfc this song is insane

 

Nah just the single. Assuming it’ll be on streaming tomorrow.

 

HELL YES WITH ERRORS

I love an aggressive yet melodic NJ tune. Definitely reminds me of Meridional which is never a bad thing.

 

This is the type of track i've been waiting to hear.

 

What is the spread of tracks like /with_errors on the LP?

 

With errors is my least favorite of the 3, though I still really like it. I’m pleasantly surprised to see it’s an actual track and not just an interlude.

 

Love this new one. This is really shaping up nice.

 

Not a big fan of the new one, actually. The other two are great though.

 

So ready for y’all to hear Safety Last

 

Kind of amazing how consistent this band is able to stay with the constant member changes. They’re still so uniquely Norma Jean while maintaining a very natural evolution. If I were none the wiser I’d have no reason to believe there’d ever been a single member change

 

Yeah, there isn’t a single original member at this point haha

 

I know there's like 1% chance of that happening, but imagine if they pulled off a Haste The Day and had every former and current member contribute to an upcoming album.

 

Even a guest vocalist spot for Josh Scogin would be fun.

Actually, I’m surprised that’s never happened particularly as they did tour with The Chariot a number of times back when they were around.

 

In a sentence or two, what does it sound like? :)

I am, too, surprised Josh has never appear as a guest on a song, especially with touring with NJ while in TC and the bands being close friends (both had many member changes).

As for the singles, “With Errors” is by far my fav. The first one didn’t do much for me - I’m not a huge fan of NJ’s straight-up heavy tracks anymore. I’m glad the last two singles showed the range they’re now known for.

I still listen to ‘O’ God’ once a year. Nostalgically, most of the album still rips, but the band’s sound has expanded so much ever since ‘The Anti-Mother’. Chino’s guest spot on that album really brought out Cory’s musicianship. Every album since has been great.


“Falling From the Sky” is one of my all-time tracks.

Excited for ‘All Hail’. And 14 songs?! Amazing.

 

/with_errors is the best of the three.

 

just wait till y'all hear Full Circle In Under A Minute, Trace Levels of Dystopia, Translational (essentially the entire middle of this record is heavy as fuck) and the nearly 12 minute one-two sprawl of Careen and Anna

 

UNGH DONT WANNA WAIT

 

Only one more month!

 

Gotta say, not a huge fan of errors. Maybe I need to listen more. It just sounds so much like a Tool song lol. Which isn’t inherently bad but definitely something I noticed
