@Dee Pascali i guess you have to look at their footprint as a whole. the song in itself has a sonic sound quality. it actually sits very well with their last albums sound. Now i'm not gonna try to convince you that you should enjoy it just because it exists but its definitely a more diverse sound structure then where they started and to expect a band to do the same thing they did nearly 20 years ago when the footprint of their previous work has rippled and nearly created a series of niche genres and sub genres that have been developing and growing all while they remained in active would just be stagnant, its fitting that the band that arguably "started it all" decides to do something different rather then do it again. there's a reason people listen to black sabbaths paranoid because it a classic fitting of its time/era and resonated and developed the sound of rock and metal as a whole. i cant say that so much of their reunion album. sure it sounds like a sabbath album but it lacks the innovation that made the earlier albums lasting. anyways that was definitely too long to read.

[@dmpunk]

Since I was a kid (4yrs), sunsets (Aug/Sep) would make me feel a certain sad feeling of an impending doom... a depressing melancholy. Like the day has gone for it to never return- or maybe more of a good things don't last forever kind of vibe. It's always been something I couldn't really explain well. Maybe I was just mature for my time. Anyway, although I know that probably made no sense, American Football always make me feel like my 4 year old self sitting by the window watching the Orange light descend, wishing that I could turn back time before it was time to go to school again

[@tailchasernw7875]

nothing shoegaze about this. it sounds like generic post rock tho

[@taor1262]

@@nicholasmichalfaul946 This track is more post-rock than shoegaze for sure, but I'd say that bits like 2:30 where you can hear the ambient guitar groan is shoe gaze.
