Man this relates too hard

[@travisbradley8234]

Sam has been working and training really hard to become a better clean vocalist. I like that he gave it a shot on this one! I love the track. I just had to accept that Architects will never be the same since Tom passed. And they are pretty amazing still! Thanks for the reaction guys

[@StewinHead]

Did Sam mention somewhere that he's working on his clean vocals, or is that your guess? Just wondering

[@chandraabudiman]

Yes people hating on their new style should understand that like the way Wyat and Lindsay put it. They lost a limb so they're not gonna be the same and they can't be the same.

[@michaelwagner6733]

@@StewinHead pretty sure he mentioned it in an interview... let me see if I can find it. They didn´t really do anything in this song with his voice, just nobody is used to Sam´s clean voice :D

[@soberveganhipster]

Its evolution, why would anyone want to stand still and stagnate when you have this in your range? Doesn't make sense to me!

[@soberveganhipster]

Also, Dan and Tom both always listed Tool and Deftones as a couple of their biggest influences in previous interviews. With that in mind this new direction makes quite a lot of sense.

@@Anthony-pq4vr I don't like them personally. I just don't get the hype.

[@stormofmagic9358]

@@Anthony-pq4vr In my opinion, the lyrics are the best element of the song, my problem lies mostly with the vocalist's voice. In my opinion it does not fit with the song and atmosphere at all. Vocals are definitely hit or miss, so if one enjoys the vocals this would be very different. I also believe the song is a little repetitive, and not a lot happens instrumentally. So, I'd say it's an ok song which way too overrated

@Daisy Dan I never said it wasn't. I love both songs. That definitely makes Animals more interesting though. I just prefer the style Black Lungs is going for, and that's why, for me, it's the better song. However... that doesn't make the Animals bad. It's a preference thing. My preference changes all the time. I could wake up one day, and decide that I prefer Animals over Black Lungs. As of now though, Black Lungs is what I'm into the most

Josh Middleton doing back vocals in this one, but yes that is also one of Sam Carter's voices he can pull out.

For example, you can hear Sam has done a lot of clean vocal parts in Architects' old stuff that precedes LF//LT.

The song is call out for humanity to “examine the role we are currently playing in the destruction of the world with barren landscapes, and foreshadowing of extinction” which is one of the main themes of this new record as the band stated it’ll focus on: “…the part we are all playing in the world’s slow destruction, and tackle the biggest questions facing the future of our planet” Basically what the song is about and the rest of the album

[@mattmerchant3524]

I agree with you about choruses in general. The ones you can belt out at the top of your lungs are better than those that you trip over yourself trying to say. I do like this song though - and like others have said it gets better after a few listens!
