The Republic of Wolves - shrine (March 27, 2018) Album • Page 30

You really need to hear the bonus tracks bud!

 

LMAO I need to finish the last three tracks, my wife started fighting the final boss in Zelda and made me watch

 

guess I’m giving this a shot now that it’s on streaming, band has always had some good songs but never really put it together entirely, the reactions here are interesting because it almost sounds like the band is being pulled in a bunch of different directions, curious to hear if it at least sounds cohesive

 

IMO this is by far their most cohesive work.

 

see, I see posts about the unclean vocals but also see people say some of their poppies stuff yet is here? Last record was much brighter sounding than Varuna, so it’s interesting to hear them sort of take a mid section between the two. I’m intrigued at least

 

I wouldn’t say this has their poppiest sound yet at all...

 

Didn’t even realize this when I posted lmao

 

I’ve seen some comments about a specific song saying that song was maybe their poppiest yet. Don’t know which, it was offhand, and I haven’t paid attention to this release at all

 

Fuck the bonus tracks are so good but at the same time i can see why they were left off the standard version well Born Blind is harder to understand tbh

 

Hmm probably Colored Out if i had to guess. Yeah it’s poppier... but the album as a whole is darker and heavier. More like a progression from Varuna. Even that poppier song fits though. Definitely a very cohesive album. I think you’ll dig it

 

Yeah i can’t comprehend the decision to leave that off honestly. It’s one of their best songs

 

Yea colored out has a great hook and drives hard.. but it’s not really poppy.. maybe like Manchester orchestra poppy lol

 

Yea I’ll be going back and forth between the two versions

 

Don’t @ me but some this reminds of the darker dear hunter stuff too, almost a brand new dear hunter hybrid. I know no one else will hear it but with he jams I def hear it in the guitar solos

 

The extended version flows so damn well its like because of the bonus tracks it gives the album even more variety yet at the same time it still feels so damn cohesive as a whole.

 

My dream is for them to work with Mike Sapone. This comes close to that dream. Production on here is def top notch.

 

Whelp. The canyon is huge.
Holy shit this sounds way better than I expected.

 

Yea honestly the production here may actually work better than a sapone record

Dialogues
Northern orthodox
Colored out

What a 3 song run

 

You can insert born blind in there and it doesn’t get any weaker ha

 

Can’t believe no one mentioned TREOS. That little electronic segue at 3 minutes is straight mi fa mi magic

 

Or i wonder what a Will Yip produced TROW record would sound like. Fun to think what if scenarios like that.

 

So glad I only listened to northern orthodox like 3 times before the album dropped that song bangs hard

 

Northern orthodox was the first trow song I heard and then I was like wow I need to listen to this band and dove into the old stuff

 

Like the first song ever you heard by them? Damn dude i find that hard to believe haha
