Yay. I liked what I heard from the last album but it was nowhere near as good as the Night Visions era.

I wasnt a fan of their last album but Night Visions is GREAT! So I am curious to see what will come next from them.

I'm definitely ready for their return. I did like their second album, but nowhere near as much as their first.

yay hopefully we get this Friday I don't think so. It's already available to purchase in Oceania because of time zones, so it will be out tomorrow.

Not really a fan. Better than "Roots" at least. Let's see whether it'll grow on me

Love that Tron like cover. As for their albums, I actually preferred their second WAYYY over their debut. I thought their debut had strong singles, while their second album had personal favorites of mine that never saw the light of day. I also had more of an emotional connection to the second album.

I don't think that there's a band out there that whose music is so hit or miss for me. I love their best work (Radioactive, Battle Cry, I'm So Sorry, etc.) and despise their worst (I Bet My Life, It's Time, On Top of the World etc.) While I like some of their work, they still have failed to develop a unique identity or sound for me and just seem like commercial "sound like whatever is popular band". I'm curious to see where this single falls.

They always do a hell of a job with teasing but rather then that can't wait to hear it!

They seem to be trying too hard to be unique. They've honestly fallen so hard from Night Visions and their EPs. Smoke + Mirrors was incredibly messy ("Shots" and "Dream" were phenomenal though), "Roots" flat-out sucked, "Levitate" was brought down big time by the chorus. These guys had potential to be a huge quality act on both Alternative and CHR, but now it seems like they are lost. I guess twenty one pilots will be the big Alternative act for the next years (unless they go further down the rabbit hole themselves).
I will admit, I like this enough. It's messy, but it works. I was listening to this in the car with my friend for first listen (who's a huge ID fan), and we both said this was a carbon copy of "Gold": the clutter, weird vocal scratches, big drums, etc. He said "Gold" is better, but I think this is better. I don't know, this seems like a high burner, but I'll enjoy it for what it is for now.

this reminds me a lot of roots, especially the percussion in the background. Vocals are a little better but the chorus is kind of shrill. Outside of a few tracks off Smoke + Mirrors they still haven't recaptured what I loved from Night Visions.
I think the cadence of the verses is the most annoying part of the song to me, it sounds really forced. Instrumentation isn't bad outside of the drums. Hopefully this isn't indicative of their third album's sound.

I haven't really enjoyed any of their singles after "Shots" and I don't think I'm a big fan of this.

They might as well just be banging on trash cans. I don't like that sound nor do I care for this one bit. On a different note; I really hope this band doesn't end up dominating the 2017 charts?

Picks right up where Smoke + Mirrors left off. This is MASSIVE. I hope it is another crossover smash for them. Catchy as hell and I live for their percussion. Pumps me up so much. To me, this song is very much representative of their style. Also, thanks Alex Da Kidd/Imagine Dragons (I imagine it was either produced by Alex or self-produced like S+M was) for cleaning up the production. Alex da Kidd is infamously muddy in his production and this is clear and crisp. If this is the first single of the new album, I am NOT READY.

Oddly enough, this was produced by Mattman & Robin, who have produced a large amount of pop songs (all good ones though). It doesn't sound like their work though, and it's not really pop in my opinion.

Not sure how I feel about this one yet. The chorus wasn't what I was expecting at all. The song does have an elementary style rhythm to it. I need to hear this more before I can make a final decision.

these guys lost it all with Demons For Me it was "On Top Of The World". though I don't know what I heard in that song back then, since it not normally my style. Now a days if it pops up on my random foobar list; I just skip it to next song. I'm glad most of you aren't blown away by this? I just hope the rest of the world feels the same way.
