new strata song...

[sangreal314]

man, that is horrible. so bad that i'm tempted to take them off my freinds list on myspace.

[Ars Sycro]

I actually kinda like it. I think it's an interesting progression for the band.

[erikpemberton]

I love it and the video is awesome too. The whole album is wonderful.

you've heard the entire album?  lucky you!  i like the song, except for the chorus

Is the video up anywhere? or have you just seen it with them/friends?

does the whole album sound like that or just this song?

One of the guys showed it to me. It was on a secret website that was all password-protected and all that jazz. I actually saw it back in like October, but it was a rough Flash storyboard.

It's very diverse in texture, but without giving away too much, I'd describe the album as "mature" and "sophisticated" and "dynamic." I suppose those are the most accurate words I can think of for it. Imagine hearing Leitmotif, not hearing El Cielo and then hearing Catch Without Arms. Pretty big switch in style, a definite progression in sound, but hard to pigeonhole as just one particular thing.

It'll grow on you. I tend to hate most of my favorite albums the first time I hear them. Antichrist Superstar pissed off a lot of Manson fans, but then it turned out to be his best work. I'd say it's a similar situation here.

Now I gotta figure out when it's gonna be released. I'll talk to some peeps and see if i can find a date.

Single hits radio 1/30, album in late April/early May (still not set). The video will hit at the same time as the single, but it's likely it'll show up on YouTube or somewhere before it even hits MTV with the way things are these days.

[Ars Sycro]

That is, if it hits MTV.

[erikpemberton]

It will. Wind-Up has promised some Evanescence-level promotion for the new album. We'll see if they deliver.

wind-up can kiss my white irish ass.

The song isn't bad. It’s much more fun sounding than anything else they've ever done. Seems like they're succumbing to the whole modern new wave rock movement, which might not be such a bad thing.

well nothing about that song sounds diverse, mature, sophisticated, dynamic or like a progression in sound. i hope the whole album isn't like that.

They're not. This song is just the most "single-ish" of the new stuff. Most of it doesn't have that same vibe you're describing, at least not to MY ears.

And this is based on what, you hearing one song from the album on MySpace as a 96kbps MP3? I'd say you're a little quick to rush into your judgment.

Yeah, but with TRL being cancelled, what show are they going to pay for them to put it on?
