    nik ur face when there no breakdown lol PRICELESS, someone meme it !!!! I would agree to have a breakdown into the double-time would be been better. If he held out the note vocally going down fading out would have closed out the song would be smoother then okay done

    @DeathMachineJoe 6 лет назад +4

    Maybe I'm just a guy who really wants more evolution in metalcore with these younger bands, but this is song is kind of growing on me. The structure of the song is a bit odd and I feel a bit more variation in the guitar work could've made it stronger, but it works for me nonetheless. I've never been the biggest Crown the Empire fan and while I saw some potential on albums like The Resistance and Retrograde, they didn't have enough material and like you said, innovation, to keep me interested. I feel like this song has gotten me a bit more interested in what they will create next, but if they're going in another direction, they have to make sure they don't alienate their core fans and pull another BMTH sound.

Yes he had that nice screaming style but I feel like their style changed with the departure of the instrumental members. Their last album had David on it afterall.

    @JackTaylor39 5 лет назад

    this song isnt really metal or crown the empire but i still love it so much, it creates an emotion that cant be created by complexity or skill. the chorus is something really special and overusing it in this case id say is okay, judging by any other standards it definitely falls short but i still feel incredible every time i hear it. nik is inspirational tho because he always pushes for the best from everyone and thats why we watch him

    Your right nik it is a weird song definitely because yeah I do need to expect more of the breakdowns and your right it is sad for us bro you and I noticed in the video that the band needed to be more texture vibe to it and what can I say it is not metal core but the song is more pop melodic rock kind of vibe there bro very catchy cheesy chorus and melodies and the wires in the video reminds me of the dangerous game show called the chamber omg this one takes me back to 2002 but overall better than the last album like you said earlier they need more instrumental guitar parts there I rate this a 3 also nik such a weird poppy song wow we’re both surprised by that nik love u 😍

    It kinda feels like they were trying to put out a heavy song just to please older fans. Not a bad song, but it is kinda generic and a bit too repetitive towards the end. In my humble opinion they either should've tooken heavier or toned it down to be more pop like cuz as it is the so g is kinda in this limbo of it wants to be catchy but it also wants to be heavy as well.
