The second verse of BD, this droning hook in Lower the Flag etc. I can see how they'd be a little more boring and repetitive. Still not impressed by Let it Rain.

EDIT: Brothers in Arms gives me such a KTF vibe. Melodically there's a part that reminds me of Save a prayer.

that's what I've experienced with the 90 second snippets. I can't see how it gets any better, maybe blood on the water and some more, but the rest will be repetitive or not developed enough to be cool. Remembering Devil in the temple, it seemed great but it actually feels like a ok good unfinished song, but not one great song.

Right but I'm saying this as someone who heard the 90 seconds and heard the 30 seconds and thought "it gets a lot better" so it's very possible it gets better after the 90s seconds. The songs are pretty long, we could be in for some cool bridges and melodic breakdowns. I don't know if we'll get solos but this is all something to hope for.

"I can't see how it gets any better" I'm unable to look at it that way.

Well, at that point, the first Who Would You Die For snippet didn't seem like a big deal, but by the second 90-second snippet there were a lot of changes to the same song, with the beginning of the riff, then the guitar solo and then a feels of drums with great verses. Hopefully some of the new songs surprise me in their scheme. Fingers crossed.

Completely agreed! Great comparison, the 30 second clip of Who would you die for was a complete 180 in the 90 second clip to me in vibe and intensity.

Story of Love really has a nice melody, but that "La deee dai daii" is so ****ing awkward. I did a test editing that part to check if the song was still flowing without noticing a abrout cut, and I think it works by skipping that part.

here the test
