@fco – Yes is just an example. They were the first band I really fell in love with in a big way (back in the 70s), and although they reinvented themselves a few times (not always in ways that I liked ), they are for me a perfect contrast to Motorpsycho. I've never been a fan of Tool.
PS. The Waning (Pt.1) is growing on me more and more. And with there being a full moon right now, it's fair to say, "the waning has begun".
March 28, 2021 at 18:25 #38050Love the new single. I don't get the ZZTop comparisons at all. Sounds like classic MP to me. Their melodic taste is what always does it for me both musically and with the voices. The driving sinister pedestrian and robotic beat underlies it beautifully. I do wish the production was less reverby, so I could make out the lyrics better to interpret their social commentary.
That song is gonna be killer live!
March 28, 2021 at 18:47 #38051Yeah, looking forward to the live version, should have potential to go wild
March 31, 2021 at 13:52 #38052Also my ass are smiling… Uahahahahahaaaahhhh.
Really, Luna calante today.
Someone could be so patient to put lyrics please guys.
MP, Madonna Santa!
April 1, 2021 at 17:49 #38053Sorry for my grumpy words a couple of days ago. I have to admit that it's a solid rocker which occasionally comes to my mind. Still, i find it a bit underdeveloped regarding the structure and the fade-out. I just had to utter my disappointment that they didn't take the chance to start a profoundly new chapter. Still, good, well-crafted song and hoping for some magic to happen on the album.
April 1, 2021 at 20:15 #38054the point of no return's finally passed
pushed over the edge
equilibrium's offset at last
here out on the ledge
earth's homeostasis
we're losing races
the waning has begun
no choice for anyone
this can't keep going on
insect-like we've taken over
a predatory kind
bite the hand and fix it later
a one-track hive mind
earth's homeostasis
still losing races
the waning has begun
no choice for anyone
this can't keep going on
children children fight your corner
you'll need a new home
boldly go where none have ventured
new spaceships in chrome
from homeostasis
to survival races
the waning has begun
no choice for anyone
soon this will all be gone
April 2, 2021 at 05:16 #38055April 2, 2021 at 05:21 #38056@marc – As this is part one of two, my hope is that the fade out was only applied to the single version and that the album version will somehow transition from this to part two without fading out, but with more of the crazy guitar licks we hear in the fade out.
April 2, 2021 at 16:21 #38057Just like In Our Tree and ASFE did, The Waning probably doesn't say much of the forthcoming album. Quite sure they don't put the biggest epic most wild song out before album time on purpose. Probably even have a giggle about it.
btw nowadays I LOOOVE In Our Tree and ASFE.
and Punj above on page 3, well put!
and the latest Tool album is a snore. I used to like them a lot, was very impressed up to Lateralus. But they're stuck in their thing now.
April 9, 2021 at 16:39 #38058Lol, I’ve also started really appreciating the Waning, it took some time w this one. Thanks for the lyrics @Angel – don’t exactly know what Bent’s on about, the climate crisis? Not often you hear lines like “earth's homeostasisâ€, had to look it up, but it at least sounds good. Looking forward for more! :STG:
April 9, 2021 at 17:37 #38059Had my hopes a bit higher after the first reviews, but can there be a more generic and unispired MP song than the first single?
April 9, 2021 at 18:17 #38060@Be For me the answer might be Spin, Spin, Spin. All time low! Not even a MP song. But as mentioned above, In Our Tree felt somewhat uninspired when it came out. I remember even thinking Ozone was a red flag, how could they top AADP lol. Serpentine. I guess MP has never been a singles band. I almost wonder why they still put out a single, the most “radio-friendly†song, believing it will get rotation. Or if they do, why not add three or four more tracks of nice weird inspired studio outtakes? Big questions! It’s not like they’re signed to a major label, I hope they finally open the vaults at some point, the archives.
Edit: I know they’ve done the box-sets lol, Ive been happily digging into the Blissard outtakes the last weeks, since I received the CDs and were able to convert to MP3s (thanks guys!) But I guess I just want more, from the later years. Demos and outtakes, must be plenty. Nice acoustic versions? Time will hopefully tell!
April 13, 2021 at 07:22 #38061Well, the mailman just came in with my Kingdom of Oblivion LP and CD, 3 days early it seems! <3 About to have some fun later today, yeeeeee haw! :STG:
