Woo. Finally an adds date! I'm looking forward to this for sure. I hope this new album finally brings them back the success that they had off of the singles on "Satellite," but I wouldn't say that's very likely.

I like the guest star ideas on this. Mike Muir and Page Hamilton. Interesting choices.

Oh yeah, I'd forgotten Mike Muir contributed. Did you mean both on this very song, or just both on this album somewhere?
Yeah, since he's resurrected Helmet, Page has made some odd choices lately with the bands he's chosen to work with.

Just on the album, not on this song. The song with Mike Muir is "Kaliforn-Eye-A", I think. And I don't know where Page is.

I don't think it's gonna do very well, judging from their last couple albums. It seemed too "veteran" and not fresh enough to capture a lot of people. But that's just my first reaction.

Well, Tunelab likes it, if that means anything.

imho is a mediocre album but the track with Page Hamilton ("god forbid") is great. Not so great the track with Mike Muir.

I've only heard a third of the album so far, but right now it doesn't feel near as good as the last album, which is strange since I thought Marcos returning would bring great things. "It Can't Rain Everyday" stands out a lot to me though. That could easily be the "Youth Of The Nation" of this album, if it gets a chance on radio.

I just listened to the entire new album and I don't really have a ton to say about it. I think I probably will agree that "Testify" may be slightly more memorable than this one after a first listen, and it's easily better than their Self-Titled album. It just seems to me that while the past three albums have all been good, they're not close to great, and I haven't been really impressed since "Satellite." The first half of the album I thought had a lot more potential and included catchier tracks that could be future singles, while the second half seemed to kind of bore me and dragged on of what it seemed like forever until the album was over.

Explanation of the new video...
That first part of the video could be taken as an anti-abortion thing too...I never really looked at the video that way...it seemed really random at first.
