This is when critical thinking enters.. "Just because you are a character... doesn't mean you have character."

Best drummer in the world / sounds like a midi program. And of course Jimmy would find this funny for "trolling" people with absolute garbage. Tommy Lee added more than this.

The production on this song sounds worse than a Machine Gun Kelly track.

Way to go Pumpkins!

Intrumental sections sound good, and I like the pre-chorus which reminded me a bit of Alice in Chains.

The first riff smells of balls though, and there is no decent vocal melody. The entire band also sounds very static, there is no real flow to the performance.

After a while I have been listening to more Pumpkins lately. Presenting this as the successor of MCIS and Machina is a joke.

Louis Cole sounds good. Very Thundercat-y.

It sounds like Metallica. Specifically, The Frayed Ends of Sanity.

Edit - Make that The Eye of The Beholder.

Listened to it again. This song fucking sucks.

I'm calling it: ATUM will be Cyr with anaemic drums and guitars. I doubt it will explain anything about MCIS or Machina -it's just cashing in on the association.

Are the lyrics even saying anything? Who gives a flying fuck. Billy's got a wrestling empire to support!

This is the lead single?! Eeeesh. Embarrassingly bad, wish they'd just call it a day or be a legacy act rather than keep putting out such bad music. The James solo is sort of OK but there's just no tune to this at all, makes Monuments actually look pretty good

Who knew D'arcy was the most important member in the band.

Better, but not by a lot. Eye of the Beholder has a killer chorus, much more happening with vocals and drumming, and does much more with the muted guitar.

It was a faster version of beguiled, not sure if an alternative version or the person who shared tried to disguise it by speeding it up

I never said Beguiled was better. Not even for a second.

It's better than Solara, better than Anti-Hero (the other SP song this reminds me of), worse than a lot of stuff pre-Shiny. This makes Zeitgeist sound brilliant (I really enjoyed Zeitgeist).

Not a track that makes me disinterested in the new album, but it doesn't raise my low expectations.

I asked the person who leaked the intro to Beguiled:

"It was the version used for marketing purposes on streaming services, they were using it strategically for playlists . They offered them a sped up version. The one I heard was 3:30 minutes long and extra layers of synthesizers."

It sounds like when Megadeth got slow and boring. Like Symphony of Destruction.
