[GooMoonRyongg]

Honestly, I don’t remember the last time they had a bad chorus. They are master at this shit

[jaronkurz]

I actually love this song very much, but the breakdown could be at least longer than 3 sec

[its_not_fair]

This feels like the 1x1 of this era and I'm completely fine with this.
I am 100% sure that they have some heavy and experimental stuff on this record that they wanted to save till full release to not spoil people with heaviness so they don't get disappointed when all what's left for the record are softer songs

[sethjenkins]

This isn't a bad song at all. But I don't think it was meant to be a single. I think BMTHs last songs have been such a crazy experience that when they release a normal song it seems underwhelming. It hurts Nik a little more cause he's a breakdown addict

[DMR_Videos]

Maybe controversial opinion but i like that there wasnt really a breakdown. You see breakdowns everywhere in songs even if they arent necessary, and i think the song is perfectly good without one

[drifter]

I actually like the song as it is. It's angsty, it's got good chorus, and the lyrics get me in my feelings. Maybe not "peak single" material, but this is one that I'll be coming back to.

[Max_v.E]

When I was in school my music teacher once told me "you know a song is really good when it's purposely missing a tiny tiny bit so you want to hear it over and over again"

Think they did exactly that with this song

[Brandon]

I like this song very much, feels like a mid 2000's chill emo rock song

[killianwithrow]

Part of me feels like they blue balled the breakdown so they can slap our necks with a heavy banger next

[dlkjAENFadlkfj]

I will confess that I definitely missed and had sincerely hoped that they'd go heavy on the final part, with me being rather disappointed that they didn't. That being said, the song overall sounds very pleasing to my ears, reminding me of that Sempiternal/That's The Spirit with maybe a bit of Amo mixed in, and... Well, like you said yourself, it's catchy with a good hook!

[kindness_is_the_key]

For me, where the instrumentals lack heaviness, the lyrics make up for it. The emotional weight of the song is so heavy it compensates

[nclincoln]

Nihilist Blues is one of my favorite songs of the last ten years tbh. And I love their heavy stuff mostly

[ZIMBO]

I really love the fact that Nik loves Amen so much. I instantly had the same thoughts when i heard Amen for the first time.

[Teites]

I think the main "problem" is that the song was never supposed to be a single at all. My theory is that they wanted to sweeten the wait with another single and decided to go with this more personal, big arena song to maybe not "spoil" the other "WTF?" Songs (looking at you, Kingslayer)

small edit: This sounds like I dont like the song. I do, just as a single it's a bit underwhelming

[djixi]

I didn't know what to expect, but i ended up liking this very much. I was head bopping throughout the whole song. So catchy and the lyrics remind me of their more sad times.

[enceladus-]

4:57 My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined

That being said; given its Bring Me, ain't even mad. This entire song feels something Linkin Park would do in 2023. Love it

[scarux]

Its like a Thats the Spirit meets Linkin Park meets Sleeping With Sirens vibe

The song definitely grows on you :)
I've now looped it most of today and its now become my 2nd favourite of the 5 singles.

Yeah, it reminded me of 1x1 and I really liked that. I guess Next Gen will refer more to mental issues, with Lost, Strangers and now Darkside, these kind of lyrics to relate to. And I also found it fine that the song is shorter, just not to repeat 1x1 structure completely, it says pretty much within those 3 minutes. Some interesting sound ideas were there, and yeah, definitely LP vibes.
To sum up, really excited what the album's going to bring, the only concern that if it's an EP again I wish there would be at least 10 songs, cause we have a few songs already released.

[mbst]

How are their choruses always so dang catchy? I just KNOW I'll be having this one stuck in my head the whole day now. I love all BMTH styles, I like others more, but I still love this! So not even complaining. Love it!

Ollie Sykes was born in the same hospital as me in Ashford Kent. But he grew up in up north in Yorkshire and spent some of his childhood in Adelaide and Perth Australia which is where I live now!
