The Above - New Album Out now

LYRICS

the truth is im jealous of you
and your looks
and your talent
and your heart 
and your passion 
while im just stuck in my mind 
trying everything twice 
thinkin bout everything a million times

t h e  
    m a s k  
          o f  
              s a n i t y  
                            s l i p s  

your growing
im stiped
your natural
im so contrived 
your floating
but ive died 
A million times 
cause I can’t make a decision to save my life 
the sun is shining 
(inside my foxhole)
the cattle graze 
(so i migrate) 
but I’m an analogue killer in a digital age 

we nod as we pass by 
maybe make pleasant chatter 
but then you flip the wrong switch 
and all your words start to splatter 

t h e  
    m a s k  
          o f  
              s a n i t y  
                            s l i p s  

there is something about hating you 
that makes me feel whole
how could my seed ever bloom?
when you keep growing so tall 

(i am not living. im asleep)

Ya'll somehow nailed it with your target audience (hardcore kids that grew up with their dads bumping Godsmack, AIC, Nirvana, Korn, etc. in the car their entire childhoods) lol. But you also spent the last 10 years demanding the attention of the hardcore/metal scene, publishing an album that upset a very small minority of them while also appealing to a much broader audience. Masterfully done.

[s.h.a.g.g.]

This feels like being back to the 2000's, what an awesome album Code orange!

4. “The Mask of Sanity Slips”

“Lyrically, this is a grungy, heavy take on somebody dealing with internal resentment, loneliness, feeling like a square peg in a round hole—something, I think, we feel as a group a lot, something I definitely feel a lot, trying to hide behind either confidence or feebleness. I even created this mask of my own face that I was calling the Mask of Sanity. Sonically, our plan was quiet/loud grunge dynamics, but with some death-metal double kick, which I’ve never heard on a grunge song, and some electronics. There’s even a bouncy mosh drop that we thought would subvert genre rules a little bit and make it more our style.” (c) Jami Morgan

The outro to this is one of the best parts of the album

[customcornpop]

The vocals on the chorus have a cool Marilyn Manson tone to them! Also, I love the outro!

[Nestorglass]

the middle riff reminded me of the one in Clown by Korn, in a good way. Nice

[nursehellamusic]

This album slaps y2k back with a vengeance. wreak your havoc, i've been ready the last two decades for this <3

[MoshuaHertzog]

whole album is tight, but this song right CERTIFIED BANGER.

[johnmanning]

Grungy, and I loooove it. Touches of AIC and Nirvana, I think!

[taylorconnor]

This song will stay in my mind until my sanity slips

[deletado]

Insane Lyrics, instrumental, vocals, Gratitude!

[lesterjames-brooks]

Heck yea this is a great song! Gives me feels of freak on a leash, nevermind with a touch of slipknot at the same time

[jeremyalexander]

If I was wrestling still shoot I would have jumped at the chance to use this as an entrance gives me so many ideas

[Ssssssy]

From the fourth minute I plunged into something that I had not felt so often in my life. This is great. I wish you only creative success and to fuck the crowd of fans with an outburst of incredible energy already live. Wery great and sensitive job.

[JakeColby-rf]

this sounds so much like a manson song

[dannygibson]

This album is like a Tarantino movie. It's just a collage of sounds that other bands already created....the tracklist might as well say Track 1- Manson Song, Track 2 - NIN Song, Track 3 - AIC song, etc lol

[ximenam]

thank god the girl isnt singing, i know, i think she is an amazing guitarrist but the voice doesnt match

[lesterjames-brooks]

Heck yea this is a great song! Gives me feels of freak on a leash, nevermind with a touch of slipknot at the same time
