First impression- -Sounds like Tool, almost to a fault -Not feeling the change in vocals around mid-way through the song -mixing & production value is incredible -underwhelmed by the flow of the song & build up. Doesn't build your emotional state like a good prog rock song is supposed to do. Kind of all over the place after a couple minutes. -Lyrically the song is vague as good music should be, but certainly seems pretty clearly to be addressing the current events of racism & immigration. "Fear the other" seems to be pretty on the nose My question is what more do they have to say musically that made this album feel like something they wanted to put out there & be the last thing fans hear from them musically after 10,000 days? That album felt like their most personal work by far, and a great cap on their library. I'll have to hear the full album to really put this song in context, but I always have my concerns about bands like Tool coming back because other projects fail to take off. That being said, if they are enjoying making music with a group or frankly by themselves, do it till the day you die. Making music is for you the artist more than it is what is "owed" to the legacy of a band, or their fans.
Heard this song at the end of an amazing Apollo 11 documentary and immediately looked it up. I want it played at my funeral while showing a video clip of my life.
Terrific first 6 minutes, excellent guitar most of the the last minute. In between? Lost me. The first 6 minutes would have made Roy Batty's playlist on the voyage home.
ISWYDT. Thought the first 10 seconds reminded me of something I'd heard before. You gave me a clue. Thanks, Rick.
Don Henley - The Boys of Summer Always gets me hype for the end of baseball season and the last weeks of Summer.
Continuing recent obsession with early 80s Paisley Underground bands and other jangly guitar rock bands like The Church. Probably got about 10 albums from this time period (1981-1983) in the past couple months...all better than any album released in 2019.
Spoiler they only get better and better and better. They in fact were an influence on; the smiths, stone roses, smashing pumpkins and radiohead
Loved them. Party at Ground Zero was awesome. My brother and I were in the same frat in college and were roommates. Anytime one of us didn't approve of the girl the other invited, we'd play this song. We thought it was hysterical.
