bt88 Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 http://www.yousendit.com/transfer.php?acti...qTStVbStGa1E9PQSeems fruitless to send it now when it will be widely available tomorrow. Its a cool song. The band sounds fucking incredible. Its some of the darkest and heaviest music the band has ever written. Jerry does most of the vocals. Duvall's vocals sound good but they will take getting used to. His harmonies with Jerry sound good but when they feature him on his own I hate to say it, but Layne just simply would have sounded better. The song is 7 minutes long and Id say its a combo of the heaviest stuff off the self titled disc and Dirt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oneway23 Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 (edited) Have to listen tomorrow with fresh ears and a fresh coffee, but initial impression leaves me a bit cold. Seems a tad underwritten to warrant 7 minutes. The song itself seems to be lacking a sense of real movement, but that may be due more my overtired brain dragging itself across the floor than the song itself. We'll see how it sinks in tomorrow.

ThinkAboutYou Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 Now thats an offer they should take you up on if it comes out at the 'same bat time', im taking 100% credit, regardless of whether they take me up on my offer or not.It's not upto the standard of AIC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dead Flower Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 Sounds ok, but very long. I'll give it a good listen on the way home before I give my very important and highly sought after opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kleber Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 Ok song,miss a solo though....And a little too long,i think 5 min will be ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forsaken Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 I got mixed feelings about this.... i'm glad they are making new music, but at the same time it just doesn't sound the same without Layne. Almost plain..... missing the stand out vocals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A 7 minute song that is basically the same all through out, really? That's the best comeback plan? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bt88 Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 I actually kinda like it. Ive been into AIC forever, one of my fav bands, and it still for sure has their sound. It kinda sounds like something off of the self titled disc. I will agree that its too long but it definitely rocks and the guitar tone is bad ass. Plus anyone who follows AIC knows they probably have some real good bluesy acoustic songs ready to go too. Duvall's vocals have grown, you just have to accept that hes not Layne and deal with it (since we're on a GNR board that shouldnt be too hard). As the last poster said, its better than most of whats out there but its good even on its own merits, it could have held up back in the day. Im sure the album will be worth a listen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Estranged Reality Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 (edited) If you're gonna come back after a long hiatus -- especially if your original singer died -- you need to have a good reason to do so. And it needs to show in the music.In my opinion, this is okay, but it's overlong and fairly...standard. AiC inspired so many heavy metal/post-grunge bands in their wake that this just doesn't sound like anything that hasn't been done to death already, and I have to admit: without Layne's vocals, and with the new guy obviously trying to pay tribute to his style, you're just reminded of how much better the original was. It would have almost been better if they'd gotten a totally different type of vocalist, because then at least it wouldn't have drawn such instant comparison. I'll give the whole record a listen with an open mind, but hopefully this isn't a highlight. Then again, it could have been a lot worse.

Lithium Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 Used to be a big fan of original AiC, but I can't really bother with this new stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick83 Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 This song is really good. First listen, it didn't do anything for me. Second listen I started to understand it more. Third listen, I started to enjoy it. I then woke up this morning with the song in my head. That's when I know something is good. I have been listening to it more, and I think it's brilliant. It's a great indication of things to come.Does it knock your socks off? Blow your mind? No, it doesn't, but I also don't think this is the song that's supposed to do that, but I'm sure they do have songs like that. I have trust in Cantrell.

sweetness Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 (edited) Not bad, the band definitely still grooves but these vocal lines sure could be a lot more interesting. That intro really hyped me up for some gooood shit to come Edited July 1, 2009 by sweetness Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
