I noticed that too. I'm wondering whether or not this is that big of a deal though... From what I can hear (in a shitty youtube version), the song is fucking immense.

Really... Look at the progression though. It went from no electronics (all the way back to Hybryd) to almost being more electronic than not.

i fucking love it, even if it's shit quality.
can't wait for the actual release!

& as for the whole just sounding like rou thing, as long as it sounds good that's all that matters, innit?
(:

I love it!

Little dubstep breakdown is class and the song is way heavier than alot of the tracks on Common Dreads.

Tom has a point here, if that was the case the other band members were just playing their instruments and not having any creative freedom in the writing of tracks Enter Shikari would cease to exist.

As I'm sure has happened with many bands over the years, once they realise they are the backing band for someone else's idea of songs.

But I don't imagine you'll be seeing an Enter Shikari breakup any time soon. They don't appear to be the take drugs get in fights and break up the band kind of band, they're all pretty close friends eh?

They're pretty predictable.

Indeed, check out the drums on Acid Nation, fucking brilliant.

Because there is no way, no way in hell that the rest of the band might just want to also take the band in this direction! Rory's really into his dubstep at the moment, him and Rob are both interested in/experimenting with producing electronic music. But that's irrelevant, it's almost definitely that Rou has taken over the band. Damn nazi.

I think what Matt's saying here is that Chris is definitely leaving the band.

Was about to say that, better dust of our bass guitars and get practising for auditions.

Burgess can take over his vocals after his inspiring efforts on stage at Camden.

by **kappa99** on Mon 16 Aug 2010, 7:55 pm

Theres a reason for the heavy dub influenced music we'r hearing, and its a reason that Im willing to put up with it (for now).

by Jess on Mon 16 Aug 2010, 7:57 pm

It's OK. It's better than Tribalism.

by joebarnes on Mon 16 Aug 2010, 8:30 pm

Don't you like dubstep then kev?

by Niamh on Mon 16 Aug 2010, 8:42 pm

Definately need to hear a better quality before I judge it...
Sounds alright from that, probably wicked live... Heavier than Tribalism which is good Smile

by agua on Mon 16 Aug 2010, 9:54 pm

sounds alright, odds are i'll hear it in america, hence the name of the tour

you reckon chris actually will leave though.

by stevenlikestatues on Wed 18 Aug 2010, 4:21 am

Would be creepy if he did leave after he said that eh? Cool

They've become more diluted since Common Dreads it seems, I think as the electronics became more prominent the drums became less so. Common dreads and everything after it has pretty dull drumming in my humble opinion, not knocking Rob's technique at all, just the patterns themselves are more basic.

Good song though...although I'm sensing more and more that one band member in particular is having more of an influence over the newer stuff than anyone else.

Foot work none the less is nice in this track, but yes i do agree.

by Guest on Thu 19 Aug 2010, 1:00 am

GUYS. I saw Chris last night! He was playing music, and enjoying himself! Maybe he isn't leaving afterall. I'll try my best to keep you posted though.

Also, this song is bangin' live. The guitar is...chunkier than it seems in those videos, which is always a good thing. Anyone skeptical about it (and I'll admit I was), you'll love it when you hear it properly.

As Much As It's Obvious To Anyone With Half A Brain That Rout's Taken Over On The Music Side Of Things It's Not Like There's Arguing Amongst The Band About It... Go Watch Them Live And I Don't Think You'll Find A Band That Rivals How Much Fun They Have On Stage Together.. They May Have Changed Musically Due To Certain People's Influence But Fuck It.. They're Still Having A Laugh And Playing A Lot Of The Old Songs Too.

Must...not...mention..awful...

by Euan on Thu 19 Aug 2010, 4:29 pm

I don't think I could even muster up the effort to type like that if I wanted to. It'd take a fucking eternity to say anything Razz

I reckon imma wait til release or something (perhaps pre-release radio play like Thumper and Tribalism got?). Purely because I hate my first impressions of a song being based on a crap live recording on youtube.

by **Malky** on Thu 19 Aug 2010, 6:01 pm

Needs subbass. Needs HEAVY subbass.

by Guest on Thu 19 Aug 2010, 8:23 pm

I think Chris will be pushed out and form a Steel Panther cover band with some of the blokes from Fellsilent.
