Default TARANTULA REVIEWS!!!

sounded like where boys fear to tread mixed with geek usa feeback, the slow part sounds like the slow part of silverfuck, it's everything good mixed into one song, it fucking ruled.

it's way too fast. i don't like the lead vocals, but the harmony parts are neat. i like the quiet bridge part, but it's too short.

preliminary conclusion: too much crammed into this song. doesn't really feel like it has much of a chance to breathe. but i suspect the excessive radio compression contributes to that somewhat

Does anyone else feel like they've listened to a 6 minute song when they heard this, it changes so much and is so fast. You're right, it is really crammed, but I think that makes it better.

I agree.

As for how his vocals sound, I don't really love them, but when considering Mary Star of the Sea, they sound about in place with where he's taken his voice.

this assessment hasn't changed. it's an okay song — easily superior to, say, much of the machina material — but it's still pretty flawed

really hope the lyrics are stronger across the rest of the album

much more complex than I expected. multiple time signatures and whatnot and a lot of soloing. pretty badass.

That song kicked my ass.

nothing like I was expecting based on that clip, but it's definitely whipping a caribou's ass.

Did anyone rip it?!

its really good, thank god, the clip does did it no justice...

only criticism; a little too radio friendly? while not being as creative as past singles.

good enough to be on mellon collie!

If that is our problem with the single, then I think we are in decent shape.

if this is good, it would be nice to rack up the usernames of the people who couldn't deduce that it might be a good track from the 30 second clip thread.

And do what with it?
Sadly, I think this song means TAFH will be around more.

Did they mention playing it again at all, or do they just play once with world premiere and leave it till it hits the other stations?
