I feel like Taylor gave them a too big cheque now they can't make good depressed music anymore-

[sam.teas]

no idea if the album is still coming on the 18th, but the title track should come on that day. cover art... well... a little improvement?

lemme update the op 

[coldoutside]

i love weird goodbyes but why is it on the album lol

[kikugalanet]

@RideOrDie November 17 seems to be the release date for the physical version. Digital release should be Monday 12AM ET according to news articles.

Listening to it right now, it's more upbeat than Frankenstein and I am enjoying it so far. Evermore tease. They're great live so far, i'm not surprised they aren't adding an LA date on the second leg since they just did 2 Greek shows, but a little Shrine Auditorium show would be nice.

it's out now, so I guess that is what they did. 

[Born to Run]

Not feeling it at first two listens 

[Velvet Night]

Listened to it a couple of times and it's pretty good! Not the band's best by any means, but it’s better than Frankenstein.

[Klein]

I have been listening for hours now. I really like what I'm hearing. Turn Off The House is my favorite for now. 

 

I really have to dig into their discography cause I have enjoyed most of what I have heard from them + their adjacent projects.
