Yes! This is super-duper! Finally a feeling of hearing the the band I fell in love with again. X-3 is mentioned, but I also hear Kills Devil Hills, Back to Source, Black to Comm, Ozone, and, not to forget, Psychonaut. And Sabbath as opening riff – the faster I steel the rounder I get. This is without question the best thing since Trust Us. Gone is the bluesy-based (or at least sounding) stuff that makes me quesy, and back is the drone, the drone, the drone. I do hope that this is indicative of the album as a whole. Stoked as not since 1998 before the new album.
August 28, 2017 at 09:22 #30651Hilarious to read the reactions of some people here. 'It is boring because it is too long but then it gets going and wow it is great after all'. Seriously, are you guys new to Motorpsycho or something? :lol:
The songs is fucking fantastic even if the drumming isn't on a Kapstadian level and bodes more than well enuff for me to be really excited about the new album.
On a side note: how truly sad it is be to be made queasy and bored by parts of the band's music instead of just going along for the ride like a true Psychonaut. They are explorers in sound, why are you guys so scared by this??? If the 'lame cockrock' or the endless blueswailing scares you/turns you off be sure there will be a 70+ minutes choral work or some free jazz coming right up to reward your hipster sensibilities. And vice versa. The problem is that you cannot and should not expect to have oe without the other. This isn't Bieber or Mtallica, goddamnit.
Why not just go outside your comfort zones for a moment and stop analyzing the crap out of what goes into your earholes. Stop the bitching and just enjoy. This music is not tailormade to suit your tastes. But it sure is spectacular anyway.
Really.

This song is a contrast to the Kenneth-Era-Stuff.
Really straight forward rock. Very straight drums. The guitar riff in the beginning reminds me of Black Sabbaths "Paranoid".
To be honest: I'm not really diggin' it. This would fit right on Barracuda as TraktorBass said, which is not my favorite MP-Album.
Hoping for more psychedlic moments on the full Album.
August 28, 2017 at 10:58 #30653for me it really grows.
August 28, 2017 at 11:56 #30654Now we know what this was for https://www.instagram.com/p/BRwQzaYgmnp/
August 28, 2017 at 13:28 #30655Like it A LOT. As mentioned before, this is Trust Us Sound. I think, the drums sound much more Gebhardtly than Kapstad. The monotonous build up is something I fell in love with in the 90´s and what Kenneth couldn´t deliver. (Don´t get me wrong, he´s a fantastic drummer and I´m totally freaking out on Spidergawd! But in my opinion he wasn´t the best option for MP, and now, that I´m hearing this, I know again why )
Really looking forward to Bremen Schlachthof!
August 28, 2017 at 18:53 #30656Hmmm… For me I only hear A.S.F.E. from The Tower, nothing else really…. :roll:
August 29, 2017 at 06:36 #30657Really good one this.
August 29, 2017 at 09:19 #30658I just listened one time but i am hot for the full album… :STG:
August 29, 2017 at 19:27 #30659it grows indeed
I think I remember this one from the verkstedhallen gigs, worked very well live.
for some reason I start thinking about zz top when listening to a.s.f.e.
August 29, 2017 at 19:34 #30660thats a nice comparison. i think its because of the relaxed vibe of not doing too much but playing the essential riffs of the song on repeat. maybe also soundwise? must listen to the old tejas record again and check that out
August 31, 2017 at 18:38 #30661I mostly hear BHBH. Much more than Trust Us or Barracuda. And I don't quite like the song. But I said that already about a good share of their songs, before I heard them live.
September 6, 2017 at 07:25 #30662Sounds like this tune might be the only straight-forward rocker on The Tower – judging by the Amazon-samples.
Thought it sounded a bit «cheap» the first seconds, but then it really took off. Looks like we're up for their best album in a long time.
