wow sounds like it could be promising! anyone know if theyre playing a song or two from it at the moment?
No, they arn't playing any songs from the CD yet. But I think they will on their North American tour in 2006.
I'm kind of surprised that everyone seems to be wetting themselves over this album. It's hardly as if it's Colony part 2. I think I'd probably say that the album is along the same lines of the more guitar-heavy songs on Reroute to Remain. The same kind of style as Dark Signs, Minus, Drifter, Egonomic... or Watch Them Feed off Trigger. Not to be negative though, I like it. Definitely a step back towards the style I loved on their older albums. Gets a thumbs up from me. I'm surprised it leaked so early. I wouldn't have thought promos would have been sent out yet given how far away the release date is, but obviously they have! I normally hate downloading albums, but this has happened with their last couple of albums (they leaked quite early), and if I don't just listen to it, I end up reading all about it, which ruins it. So, might as well just give it a listen. As for the cover, I remember NB posted a similar "not final artwork" image for RTR, and the only difference between that and the final cover was that they changed "...conscious madness" to "...conscious insanity". The actual art stayed the same. If that is the cover they've designed, then they're not going to be making many changes to it, perhaps just a little tweaking. Edit: Also, about that "faded version" comment - I can't see that on the NB site. One thing though - the NB "download shop" lists all the track times for Come Clarity, and the MP3s I have are all pretty much the same. Except the MP3 of "your bedtime story is scaring everyone", which seems to cut out at about 3mins when it's supposed to be 5mins.
Any word on there being a digipack or anything with a bonus track like when STYE came out? Because the bonus track on STYE is awesome
We can try to transcribe the lyrics ourselves and see how close we come to the real thing Come Clarity lyrics: Rushing through thirty Getting older every day ????????Drawing Pictures Of innocent times Can you add color inside these lines? CHORUS: I want you to lead me Take me somewhere Don't wanna live in a dream ????? Sure, it would change my perspective I am certain I would change today I am certain it would change our ways When things fall into place CHORUS SOLO CHORUS
Dead End Lyrics: Lisa: Save all your prayers I think we lost today Theres no morning after No ones around to blame Anders: I'm not afraid to bleed But I won't do it for you ????????????????? ????????????????? So say goodbye to the world We are the dead that walk the earth CHORUS: Scream your lungs out Wait for laughter You don't have to wait forever Its the next disaster Anders: Walk the sites where you lost the war When the first man falls Or when they erase it all Lisa: We're to numb to feel The devil starts right here Hold your breath and swim Swallowed by [last tear? last year?] Anders: ??? Time for make believe No one really seems to care Maybe I could care less 'Cause I will die too So say goodbye to the world We are the dead that walk the earth CHORUS What will it take for us to realize The more we provoke [the winter will come twice?] SOLO Lisa part again CHORUS
My first attempt at Come Clarity Reflect The Storm ----------------- Shot for shot, let the bullets penetrate me, embrace me, tell me stories of golden gods, A decision, in your voice, breaks the walls that I built, your eyes reach ?libid a lie? Take a chance... ?better calm must be than this?, a dark star, spinning out of control in me, that something that doesn't reflect, a ?stark run? in me, i'll take the chance, bring me the calm expose the dark side, awakened and emotional, expose the dark side, impossible to tear you away, from the light of the sun, away I find what is real here..... throw your self into the eye of chaos, infiltrate me, ?snatch up? before I wake, take off the pressure burning, try to find a beautiful place to lay these fragile bones of mine away, from the light of the sun, away I find what is real here.....
Man, the more I listen to this album, the better it gets. There are some tracks on here that give me the same kind of feeling that the older albums gave me. There are a couple of tracks I'm not so keen on (Scream, mainly... a bit Slipknot-ish) but there are some truly awesome songs on this album.
Pacing Death's Trail: Compassion Confession Its all a compromise Dedication Domination Please define the lines Mutation Innovation [Pair up to succeed?] Domination Termination [takes life and greed?] Well surrender to nothing Run as far as you can While trying to hold on to what you believe in But your heart is in a coma Aggression Attention A need to be seen Direct And disrespected Stand in line for the ????? Probably not that accurate
Well I honestly thought the leaking of Come Clarity would have sparked more life into this forum... Oh well!
lol. Care to elaborate a little whilst giving us some of your opinions on the band's past efforts so we have some context for your argument?
