I was like, "WTF" when I hit play the first time. It sounds unmixed on RUclips. I played it on Apple music and it's great. The approach reminds me of some of the songs on "Alive or just breathing" that just jump in without a build up.
Absolutely love it, it has alive or just breathing written all over it. I think it is intentionally less sterile and "perfect" sounding perfect isn't always good just look at all these bands anymore they're all sound the same... they're boring and sterile asf.
I like the chorus quite a bit but the lyrics and the mix aren't great, it seems like they're having fun so I'm here for it, I bet this song is a lot better live!
sounds totally fine for me. prolly just youtube. sounds great now on here, on spotify, and played through my phone via samsung earbuds, although i will say of the 3, youtube is the worst.
This totally just made me listen to my own upcoming new album afraid of the mixing being the factor of losing people's interest. The talent & songwriting shouldn't ever be shunned because the mix is bad, so that's a nightmare scenario. But I agree. The drums are for sure too loud in this song. But if they lowered them, the vocals would then be too loud because they're currently competing with the drums. The guitars are probably Killswitch's specialty, so they shouldn't be buried like they are.
the song is good, but it sounds like bohemian rhapsody, as if they don't know what I want to say. A mix of all tastes. I have mixed feelings. we'll see how the whole album will be
Respectfully disagree with you. I loved much of the stuff with Howard but found that As Daylight Dies was mostly good and the final album with him was mostly not good for me. I think since Jesse came back it’s been great with the exception of some songs on Atonement.
Tanked wut disarm the descent was probably the best they'd done since aojb Jesse has always been a big part of the KSE sound howard was good but not why original fans liked KSE.
@zedddddful fyi. I was an 'original fan" and saw them twice with Jessie originally and about 5 times with Howard. I said going back to Jessie was a set backwards musically as their songs and albums have regressed. You can disagree, that's fine.
@@ItsSafehands Killswitch has 2 sounds and people either like both or one or the other. They play lower and slower with Howard to compliment his range. They play faster and more bright with Jesse to compliment his. Disarm the descent sounds like the follow up to alive or just breathing. Atonement is Jesse trying his hand at Howards range as the tone of the album sounds more like daylight does or end of heartache.
The chorus is the best part of the song. I agree with you they are better than this. I saw them live about a decade or so ago, they were fantastic . I was excited to see new music from them, I hate that I’m disappointed.
It sounds a lot better on Spotify. Maybe RUclips messed up the audio track when they uploaded it
holy shit, you're right dude. wtf?
It reminds me of a song that could be on the Alive or just breathing album, pretty good

I always thought it would be cool if Nolly mixed a Killswitch Engage album. Just for a different set of ears for once.

It's not the band it's RUclips that messed it up
It’s RUclips that’s making it sound like this. Sounds amazing on Apple Music.
2:29 gives me goosebumps everytime

It’s a decent Killswitch song. I’m sure they will bring it even harder on the next single

Sounds awful on YT..sounds way better on other platforms
song is great, production and mix go back to the oldschool proper matalcore. not the new artificial bullshit
This is def compressed because holy crap it sounds terrible, song is decent
Sounds overcompressed... like, noticably so. I can barepy hear the guitar runs at all, and the riffs are basically just punctuation.
Good song definitely dont love it thet should have come back swinging with one of the better new songs its a 5/10
The mix isn't good. Some good riffage though
check out new nightrider released today. Absolute banger.
Song is amazing
Mixed is horrendous
Guitars and bass way too low
And their guitar work is so perfect
the song is good, but it sounds like bohemian rhapsody, as if they don't know what I want to say. A mix of all tastes. I have mixed feelings. we'll see how the whole album will be
Feel the same about the mix. It’s not the greatest. Didn’t have the power it needed
This sounded very "off" 🤔
Mix felt so empty, kinda ruined it for me. The chorus however is amazing.
GOD DAMN these guys tanked since Howard left....
I know, I know. Jessie was the original, but my god. It's such a decline in quality. 😢

Not a chance, sounds less whiny.

crap crap crap.........howard jones please!!!!!!!🤦♂
I like Jesse
go listen to him and Jared Dines then, plenty of mediocre Howard Jones projects around
You want today's Howard then? Jesse has you spoiled be grateful.
No thanks 😂 whatever new band he is in this time he can stay there.
