Horse the Band has always sounded ridiculous and unique from day one. This just has more of an soundtrack synth homage into it, seeing as how synths and electro came back into the main eye recently with in the past few years. It might take a couple of times to listen to, but I get it and like it. You'd have to go back to the mechanical hand album, then listen to "New York City" from the previous album to really get whats going on or why. Is not as post hardcore crazy, but its like 8 songs in one
so, how many songs are there now? on Beatcast are four. Rape Escape, Shapeshift, the third one, I guess, is Desperate living and the fourth might be the rumored song "we tried" can't wait for the new album. not even one month left
TOTALLY agreed with TMH vs. AND. TMH is one of my top 5 or 10 albums of all time, a masterpiece. Perfect blend of insanely heavy AND catchy, while being totally unique. Manateen is the best example, and A Million Exploding Suns is impressive beyond words. Anti-Pizza and Crippled By Pizza were also just as good. Natural Death wasn't nearly as creative or catchy, though it was still good.
One thing I liked about TMH the most was that they repeated the good melodies. Example: New York City is like 10 songs in 1. That's good, but some parts of the song that are GREAT; I'd like to hear MORE of them. Rusty Glove is the best example. It's got 3 or 4 different parts, but you get enough of the fast and slow, heavy and lighter to enjoy them all. Same with Manateen.
@hump008 Well, you can have your opinion, but opinions never are facts^^ This is a song, and a good one obviously, well, as long as it goes with your taste of music. Keep your ears open!
In other words, it's more like a track for the hardcore fans instead of going for that faux mainstream sound. As long as HTB keeps dropping tracks, I'm checking that shit out. Like I said, if you don't get it, you gotta listen to the track more than once, because it's gonna be unexpected to most ears. Especially if you've only heard a hand full of their stuff.
@hump008 There's a difference between opinions and facts.You saying the band sucks,is a opinion,an opinion is never wrong or right.A fact is truth.You need to be educated.
Calm down, buddy. I'm just saying in my opinion H the B is going downhill. The Mechanical Hand and Pizza were sweet. I just think some of their new shit sounds like dump. Nathan's singing gets on my nerve. He's either bellowing gnarled vocals or just whispering. This song doesnt even have any sweet or distinctive guitar riffs or keyboard parts.
This is one of the coolest bands I've heard in a looooong time!
Amazing! I love HORSE The Band and Xiu Xiu. Cannot wait to buy this album man.
yea same. we have both been waiting exactly ONE BILLION yearz
GIVE ME MOAR, GOD DAMN IT!
I'm going to have to buy an album I think. :)

I don't really like H the B anymore.
I'm not entirely impressed with this song.
