[@GooMoonRyongg]

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

[@Brandon2940]

Right? Show me a BMTH track with a chorus that ISN'T catchy

[@L2_Impart]

Shit. Even their ep "this is what the edge of your seat was made for" had some catchy songs

[@Beckzyy]

True. They don’t really have ‘bad’ choruses, they just have choruses that aren’t as amazing as the others, because some are just a phat level higher

[@matthewgill8332]

Lost is still stuck in my head

[@FormaAlert]

@@Beckzyy yeah their good choruses set a bar that's so high that even when they don't meet that, it's still better than most other bands lmao

[@cerostymc]

They probably did this specifically to troll Nik ;)

[@its_not_fair9866]

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

[@jaimerivera7872]

im right there with you!! when i first heard it i thought the same thing! very 1X1! & I love it!

[@Cityz3nn]

Yeah but 1x1 is a phenomenal song, this is good but it lacks that special thing

[@DemonLordRaiden]

Fully agreed - There's no way we aren't getting a surprise banger ala Kingslayer on the EP. They just didn't wanna show their full hand and had to delay the EP, so we got a normal tracklist song as a single, which it clearly wasn't meant to be.

[@squiddu]

Some heavier stuff will be saved for later EPs in this series, remember that. Perhaps another crazy song, but not much more than that for this album

[@sethjenkins9263]

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

[@carxeco]

I think because the ep/album got delayed they felt obligated to release a new single as a stop gap. This fits that well because it’s safe and catchy but not a complex song at all. I don’t think they would’ve wanted to give another “big” song

[@JKernx]

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

[@kuroinamida4630]

same tbh. I feel like Breakdowns or the Blegh Callout are so overdone nowadays. Like every Band has to have at least 2 per song nowadays. Can't we go back to having Guitar Solos or a breakdown when its actually neeeded instead throwing it out verywhere?

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

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.

[@cerostymc]

Yeah, I think it's just a first-expectation-effect. When people listen to this for the first time, they might've expected something different, but when they listen to it the second time, they already know what's coming, so the're less "disappointed". Give them some time and they will totally dig this song...

[@syko.uk.]

There's deffo a reason it's the 5th single rather than a lead single

[@kindness_is_the_key3888]

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

[@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

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.

[@djixi98]

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.

[@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!

[@semu8030]

Actually, pretty much all their songs after amo are a mix of Sempiternal, That's The Spirit and amo, with some songs having more elements of one album or another. This dark side song is the 1x1 or Teardrops of their next EP (which already has a name btw, it's Nex Gen) and they need one or two songs like this on the record. Sometimes it just feels right to get some new/old 2000s MCR or Linkin Park vibes

[@nclincoln01]

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

[@hawthorne9084]

The lp vibe is strong with this one

[@mdrwnnn]

Breaking benjamin.

[@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.

[@mekiyahhazbin1720]

I just love how dark and shamelessly emo it is. Even dark songs like Lost kinda don't hit that nerve because the general vibe is kind of upbeat and exciting. This song is super melodramatic and completely self serious and it hits home very well. Also glad I'm not the only one who hears the Linkin Park

[@snakeeyes9246]

It does sound like a healthy mix of those three.

[@mynameisschmidt]

I actually saw an AI generated Chester Bennington cover of this and it was fkn awesome. It would have been so good for Chester

[@743757]

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.

[@2mbst1]

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!

[@TonyaHowell]

Absolutely had mid-2000s feel. My immediate thoughts were it's giving Breaking Benjamin, Three Days Grace, 10 Years, Linkin Park influences. I particularly loved that era, so I'm not mad about it in the least. Deeming it a slay! I love the nostalgia they are conjuring in me with this single and "Lost." ✶🖤

[@JoyLocked]

to me this song wasnt supposed to be a single but they had to pick something to tie over the fans since they delayed the album but also wanted so save the heavy hitters for the actual album drop so its a safe pick

Late night radio rock is what they were aiming for with this one. And that's fine. For a band that started off as grindcore, then deathcore, then metalcore, then toned it down for a couple albums, then went experimental, then tried to bring the heavy back, they've done it all and there's not much they can do to surprise us anymore.

I love their choruses they do it so well, but they’re missing the slam!

[@cerostymc]

That's a fair opinion to have, but when criticizing art, it's important to not only focus on your own criteria, but to ask yourself: "What was the artist going for?" I think this song wasn't meant to have "the slam". As BMTH have stated, this EP will have a lot of emo/pop-punk influence, so I think with "darkside", they wanted to go for something more basic and "relaxed" (at least compared to some of their other songs)...

[@tysonreesmusic]

Yo imagine they release the EP and the actual song expands on that breakdown and goes crazy with it. How sick would that be, like has anyone done anything like that?

[@ls_0203]

I think this is overall a decent and catchy track, but I also think that this is better suited as a deepcut track in the album and should to be seen that way. It's not really meant to compete with recent hit tracks like Lost or Amen. They released this one as a simple, lesser huge track to warm us up before releasing the whole nexgen album which is soon. The lads want to save some banger tracks for the last lol.

[@jcx-200]

I really like the dark broody mood to this song. I think all the songs they’ve released for this cycle has been have been really enjoyable. Would say LosT and AmEN! sit above it but still very much enjoy this

I agree I think they could a done a huge break down after that bridge or make it double the length then drop into the soft chorus build up. still works though.

[@nrv3907]

this is definitely a filler track they used as a single to compensate for the delay of the new album, great song nonetheless and would DEFINITELY hit much harder live. just wish there was a LITTLE bit more because the song seems a little too safe, but that’s honestly not a bad thing either i had the song on repeat for hours and the looping is perfect for streaming lol

Like i can imagine this at a show and the whole crowd just chants it exactly like so many songs off Thats the Spirit. Its moving a lot like those songs, as you alluded to. But maybe im just saying that because its been stuck in my head all day. Definitely a favorite. But a heartbreaker, reminds me of bad times. Its classic Bring Me The Horizon stuff
