Nosferatu Posted June 15, 2021 Report Share Posted June 15, 2021 The mix in this song is so bad. The guitar and vocals are just muddy. Not really one to complain about mixes but the mixing has kinda ruined the last 2 tracks for me. Can barely hear a word Tom is singing.

But then I see this weird chick with 4 arms that looks dumb. Is that the art? Yeah, unfortunately it's the woman. The foil was a much better artwork. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dylan_ Posted June 15, 2021 Report Share Posted June 15, 2021 This one is definitely my least favorite of the 4 released so far. All the others grew on my a lot and I enjoyed at least one aspect from first listen but I just can’t get into this one. Like Kay said, it’s an AVA copy and paste job. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kay Posted June 15, 2021 Report Share Posted June 15, 2021 Hmm. They're playing Bristol like a week before my birthday next year. Not that far... But... I really don't wanna give him money, and none of my friends are brain dead enough to like AVA. It's a pickle, for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you even know anything about them? Were you involved with Free Masonry in any capacity before you became a Tombot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL what's funny too is Everything's Magic is one of the most lame songs I've ever heard in my life. He could have at least tried to remake a better song. Sheesh!

Mau5 Posted June 15, 2021 Report Share Posted June 15, 2021 Tom just did an Instagram live and pulled in four or five people to join and ask questions which was really cool. The most interesting answer he gave was talking about his thoughts on psychedelics and he seemed pretty well versed in the science and social philosophies surrounding them, but also said he doesn't do anything more than microdosing occasionally and doesn't use it in his song writing process. Also very cool to see how genuine and kind he was with the fan interaction! Good little insty live and reminded me why the personalities of the 182 trio were such a big part of the bands we like to begin with. Also I don't know why the new song is getting as much hate comparatively as I've found the past 3 releases to be snooze fests versus the most recent release sort of being a "Kiss With A Spell" anomaly in that imo it felt more left turn than predictable. Tom rehashing melodies is no new surprise though and I'll admit it pulls from his older stuff here and there but overall I liked the direction of it and it made me excited to hear more of the album. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twentytwenty Posted June 15, 2021 Report Share Posted June 15, 2021 After a couple of listens I gotta say that it's so refreshing to actually get the "real" AVA-sound in a new song again. Really hope more songs are in the same vain. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What could he possibly do for you to say you don’t like it? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unlike the lot of you I don't wan't to hear the new regime or NIN stuff, I want the real AVA sound, this is the closest to it in years, why wouldn't I be happy with that? About Tom rehashing melodies well yeah, he's done that since forever. Even WDNTW has that same bridge that comes in multiple songs. I don't mind it, a good song is a good song that is a good song, no matter where he got the melodies from. To answer the question of what he could possibly do for me to say I don't like it; well, he already did that with the majority of the dream walker. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NotNow Posted June 15, 2021 Report Share Posted June 15, 2021 I don’t like empire club, but I definitely don’t understand criticizing Tom for doing a one time Instagram q and a with the album announcement. You gotta promote the album. He’s doing a separate live on empire club on Friday. edit: Apparently Tom said he wrote everything’s magic for shrek 2 lol. Now that I think about it, I remember hearing that song all the time on the radio. Must have been their biggest radio hit by far. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heard it many times over a short period on local pop station over the air. I never heard Everything's Magic on the radio besides on niche alt stations like KROQ. Anecdotal, but I'd be pretty surprised if The Adventure wasn't their top radio song. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never encountered a different AVA song in the wild tbh. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What’s funny is Everything’s Magic stole its main riff from Anthem Pt2 in the first place 😂 but I respect that you want a return to their old sound, that’s cool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
