Young Guns - Speaking In Tongues (Audio)

[@YoungGunsUK]

Let us know what you think, here's your first taste of the new album 'Ones And Zeros' coming this June!

[@francismahon2]

Great tune, looking forward to buying the album!

[@Emm_R_Guitar]

I think I kind of saw this coming, it seems like an expected progression to the mainstream from Bones. But tbh, Its gonna take a while to grow on me I think. As I got into you guys during Mirrors. Loved AOKAD and Bones, I think this new more 'repetitive' chord approach to song writing leaves it a bit stale/bland. I liked 'I want out though'... I feel this one falls short/ disappointed on first listen. But it will probably grow on me. Might work better live, so I'll reserve judgement until I've heard the whole album and see it live but I can tell you now really do miss the more guitar riffs/ drums style...so I hope there is a few on the album :'(

[@ScoreForKnorr]

Although Bones was the first Young Guns song I ever heard, I like the sounds of both the Bones and All Our Kings Are Dead albums as well as the Mirrors EP (or at least what I've heard on KZbin). According to the YG Wikipedia page, it looks like YG signed with Virgin/EMI for this latest album. After hearing I Want Out (which was alright but not even close to being my favorite YG song) and now Speaking In Tongues, it's clear that the band is wanting to become even more mainstream with their sound. I Want Out was borderline for me but Speaking in Tongues sounds way too poppy compared to the rest of the songs from years past. I hope there are some heavier tracks on the new album to help offset this one.

[@RyanGray616]

it's different but it's still really good, looking forward to the album

[@CalebMichaelsonVEVO]

I really like the direction the band is headed. Regardless of the style, it seems YG is dropping some of the super loud and "dense" production in favour of more subtlety. I see how people would see that as "going poppy", but even then, what's wrong with pop music?

[@mrnatnat123]

Anyone else getting pissed off with these people in the comments section saying "Oh eww this sounds generic", "why is this rock band becoming a pop band", "this band are losing their way", "Why are they trying to become popular". No, how about you shut the fuck up, and let a band do what they want and stop complaining all the time, yeah, it may sound a little pop like, but why does that matter? This still sounds amazing, just because they upload a song with a genre *YOU* don't like, doesn't mean the band are losing their way, Get a fucking grip.

[@92dunbar]

Getting angry at people for having an opinion, so now who needs to get a fucking grip. The reason why so people are frustrated is probably because they loved there sound from the first album. This is completely different and rather generic from their old stuff. Opinion is opinion mate but getting angry at people for expressing there opinion when many people agree think the same is rather daft.

[@mrnatnat123]

92dunbar Well, if they loved the sound from the first album, go and listen to the first album if you find this sort of music too generic and completely different. And i think you will find the vast majority of people like this song and dont start complaining just beacuse its different to what they produced in the first album. Just let a band produce what they want, how they want. Simple.

[@Hardiment123]

Nathen Kiruba One of the things that really set them off was their use of drop B tuning and heavy guitar riffs, that made them stand out. This is more run of the mill indie pop stuff, I enjoy it and I liked I Want Out, so will listen to the album but you cannot blame people for questioning what happened. It's no different to Fall Out Boy or All Time Low.

[@Emm_R_Guitar]

There's a difference between pop rock and bland/predictable. Genre aside This isn't young guns best. I like pop/rock, but something has gotta keep you guessing or bouncing or relating or something for it to be good. Emulating a sound does not automatically make you popular. I understand what they are trying to do/ mature/ appeal to a wider audience, because that generally is a reflection on the memorability of the song. But I agree with Hardiment123, for me the thing that made the difference was The lower voice, riffs and mixture of heavy and light. I have Mirrors AOKAD, Bones...I can hear the progression genre wise. But they could have pulled this off a hell of a lot more interestingly... As this one meanders along a bit, like its missing something. Its not bad or anything. But expecting a band to pull out 3 epic albums in a row allowing for an experimentation each time, is pushing it a bit. But thats just after 1 listen. I may grown to like it at lot more.

[@13mcallister]

Hardiment123 How have all time low gotten poppier If anything they are much heavier

[@iDoAirGuitar]

Just a reminder to everyone freaking out that Gus said this is the radio edit, and that the album version will be different. And even if you're complaining how pop this sounds, let's face it- this is better than a lot of what you hear on the radio.

[@PrestigeSniper]

To everyone complaining about the more "pop" sound Young Guns have gone with in their latest releases, I get it but you really should consider this: it's only normal for a band to experiment in attempts to gain new audiences. I have no problem with this song, and while I wish it did have the harder rock vibe to it, I understand what they're trying to do. Songs like this will attract the ears of almost all listeners, and while it is more generic, it's very catchy and radio friendly which is great because they'll get more exposure. I don't know about the rest of you, but as a fan I want these guys to get as big as possible, and songs like this will do just that. I can't speak about other songs on the upcoming album, but I do know they have a song titled Rising Up that is incredible and really sounds like their older stuff and they played it live and I couldn't be more excited. Like I said I see how people can be disappointed but this is just a taste of what's to come so don't let this one song form a negative mindset of the album :)

[@austinmack7713]

I love how people think that the lead radio single will be the demise of an album. The lead single is supposed to be crafted to what they value as a band while simultaneously making something for the most people to like. I didn't really like the single "Bones" when it came out, but the rest of the album was great. Can't wait to here more!

[@stevenhinchliffe166]

10 TO 14YO PATHETIC BAND

[@JennImn]

What you're saying here is not really helping the band. Saying a band is changing style and personality to attract a bigger crowd A.K.A selling out is the surest way of making them lose all credibility. They are cool guys and though it will be cool for them to get as big as possible, this is not the way to go. Look at the exemple of 30 STM and what they've become. I talked to them only a couple of times but I doubt losing their core fan base is what they want

[@NYRoger24]

This song isn't like anything Young Guns have ever released, and I personally appreciate that. I love a band that's not afraid to change and grow! I love rock music but I'm not afraid to embrace pop once in a while. You guys hit the nail on the head with this one. Great job, guys! :)

[@awestyyy]

I think the new sound is refreshing and exciting... Bands change and develop new sounds because they are artists. You wouldn't expect a painter to paint the same picture over and over again would you? Cant wait for the new album and tour!

[@ShirleyBrian]

I very much second that :)

[@SimonMetin]

whenever a band release new material i really look forward to reading the comments. the things i ALWAYS see: 1) "it's just like their old stuff" 2) "They have changed so much from the band i once loved" 3) "first comment" Great song guys, i can't wait to hear the rest of the new album.

[@nextlevelaerials3035]

first comment!

[@nextlevelaerials3035]

sorry had to be done! I cant wait for the album, im sure its going to appeal to allot of people when they actually get to hear it!

[@SimonMetin]

damn, i was going to write 'first reply to first comment!' but you got there first...

[@aashleyk78]

This song is GOLD! It should be more popular

[@raykenkel5444]

Everyone is like "This is not the Young Guns I'm used to." That's because there is not one Young Guns sound! I am loving the fact that they're trying new things, and in my opinion this song KICKS ASS. Keep doing what you guys are doing! Also, come to Canada. We want you!

[@SMD24]

I'm a pop rock lover and this is perfect. Lol they still have that strong punk grunge alternative sound within the pop infusion

[@austinmack7713]

Dat bass doe. I really dig the song. Sounds just like the alt-rock I wanted from them. Looking forward to it!

[@thepepe1028]

First part was "New" Young Guns, then after 2:24 it was the "Old" Young Guns. Great song!

[@rebeccatarvid217]

Young guns is awesome!(: saw them at carolina rebellion in 2013 and can't wait to see them again this year! ❤️❤️

[@ronkkka]

This is too good......... I like the pop vibe, still staying as good as you were years ago! You never fail! Good work!

[@sfmikica]

young guns sounding like don broco, there is nothing wrong with that, nice one lads!

[@ChatmakGames]

Once you accept that Young Guns are a pop band, this is a pretty good song

[@AlexScrowther]

I like this song. It sounds like Young Guns to me, despite what other people are saying. Excited for the new album!

[@nicholasseiti9099]

amazing song. i'm brazilian and love this song and i think this song will be famous here

[@harperkitsune5282]

Honestly, there is not one band that doesn't evolve over time. Moreover, I don't agree, I still hear the same YG than before. Even if they're trying new stuff (which is good because always hearing the same stuff would be boring, don't you think?) They still have their identity, unique sound & amazing lyrics. As long as these remain, they're going to be great. So please, listen to the album in its entirety before judging it.

[@trisprior2337]

I can't stop listening to this song!

[@markhudson4850]

Awesome best song they have done so far!!!! Well along wiv weight of the world and crystal clear 🎸🎤

[@kwakerjack1]

It is fantastic!!! They are moving forward.

[@corinna007]

For those who think it sounds more like pop rock; Gustav and Fraser both said that even though the band loves rock music, they weren't feeling inspired by it, and had been listening to more pop, so maybe that came through in this album. Everyone has their own opinion, but I love this song, as well as I Want Out, and I can't wait to get Ones And Zeros :)

[@karolinaDIY]

LOVE this song! I've probably played it more than 30 times already today. Can't wait to hear the rest of the songs off the new album! Great job! xo

[@jyoung4298]

this...is absolutely amazing. incredible work

[@meganford4190]

Speaking in tongues may be a bit more pop rock production wise but the lyrics clearly have a much deeper meaning than your average pop song. I personally prefer bands to progress and challenge themselves with each record they put out. And while I love both of their previous records it would be really boring if they repeated these records on the new album. So keep up the good work guys!

[@Rene-ij1ut]

I knew about the upcoming album like 5 minutes ago, and now I can't wait!

[@jasminskelding7072]

Loving it, can't wait for the new album or to see you guys live in Manchester for kerrang! Tour

[@Sasuke1x]

Such a brilliant tune, I really do like it, way to go Young Guns!

[@james102jrt]

Me encanta este grupo..

[@Jellyr0ck]

I'm so in love with this song ♥

[@saneill17]

You've got to remember guys, they're on a bigger label now and probably have a lot less freedom. And lots of rock bands are going for a more pop sounds recently.

[@endthesilence9301]

Really loving this, can't wait for the new record guys!

[@bloodyvampymary]

I dont care if they change to more pop sound...just as ling as they sound amazing i love them!!!

[@robincook6948]

Brilliant tune, so impressed by the boys progression. So huge. Keep up the good work.

[@Galispapi]

It's Brillliant! YG Continuing to evolve and mature musically. Top Line songwriting and musicianship. The U.S. needs to catch on with the Great Britain scene of amazing rock bands. Besides, Young Guns... Deaf Havana, Don Broco, Blitz Kids, We Are The Ocean, Verses, Mallory Knox, and Heaven's Basement to name a few.

[@sarah-514]

Not just US even Australia. I Hope YG come back soon. Its been ages since I last saw them.

[@alanmatos7383]

Amazing music, with a very good chorus, on par with "I Want Out", surely buy the album ! I'm from Brazil :)

[@kingra2650]

probs my favourite track, thanks

[@itsseyar4033]

I love this so much I can't wait for this album. I love their other work too and I think it's good that they're trying something new.

[@CorvusCaledonia]

I'm liking the song so far. I look forward to what the rest of the album brings :)

[@oftheearth8554]

This is great! Love the evolution of your music, plays so well with your other songs :)

[@victoria2915]

I'm so proud of you guys

[@rebeckalarsson2387]

I think It´s really goooooooood!!!!! **************

[@haiaabdelkader9452]

I freaking love this song n_n cant wait for the full album :-)

[@cloebee]

I really like both of the singles that have been released, and I'm so glad they're back! To me it sounds like YG, yes their style has changed but I can recognise it as them straight away. To others who aren't so keen, how long would you be happy with them producing the same sound again and again? They're growing as a band, there's nothing wrong with embracing a bit of change.

[@ShirleyBrian]

AMAZING!!!! I honestly can't wait to see you guys live again... Songs like that just scream to be performed live :)

[@insertfirstnameinsertlastn1755]

I loved I Want Out. Not so much this though. I still look forward to their new album.

[@MegaSupernaturalgirl]

I'm not sure I'd totally agree with everyone who says this is more pop rock or whatever, personally I love it and cannot wait for the new album

[@Cmplexrincc]

Ignoring all other comments bellow, I really like this, yea its more vibrant and upbeat than the heavier stuff of the past (which i loved, your unique sound from day one always had me marking you guys as one of my all time favourite bands), but i really am liking the transition the band is taking on this new album! I WOULD like to hear some stuff that resonates your older stuff on this album, but i do love whats going on hear, and i am really excited for the new album. Keep it chill guys and i'll see you fo sho at your next Ireland show ;)

[@cammywilliams2468]

Well Young Guns this is my very first time listening to one of your songs, very impressive. Keep it going (Y)

[@asuredisaster]

This is so good it should be illegal

[@ClaireL1989]

Very good guys! Loved your earlier work and wasnt ao keen on "I want out" but this is the business! Xx

[@summersnow6623]

Come back

[@LuzdeSombra]

For all those folks who say young guns has lost it: 1. Wait for the album. Listen to it, from start to finish. 2. Listen to the other albums. 3. Realize that it is a change, and maybe we should wait for the next album. Young Guns never had two similar albums. I like this one. Don't mean they will stick to this trend in their next disc. 4. If annoyed, dear, there's the door. =)

[@АскольдАкишин]

Perfect!! I love you guys!!

[@DinosaursandMysteries]

Absolutely amazing! Can't wait for more. P.s to all the people slating. People's tastes change as do there influences. So basically when a band you like make it big then you lose interest what the hell mentality is that it baffles me. Great song young guns! :D can't wait for a UK tour !

[@adrieliqueen93]

I like it! Good job boys. Can't wait for new album!

[@traptfannatic22]

Love it already, I can't wait till the album comes out :D

[@lpmtmel03]

Yes

[@Suicune1000]

I feel like this song could have been better with a different producer. There's too much going on, especially in the top end. It's still good but it feels like there's no depth or space to hold onto in the sound for it to grab my attention. Maybe it's my speakers but I tried a few different sets and on them all it sounds like the low end is lacking. The song itself is good but it just doesn't jump out at me or drag me in the way I wish it did, which sucks because pretty much the whole Bones album did that for me. Still, I'm really excited to be hearing new music from Young Guns! Thanks guys!

[@rocknroller992]

loving the new sound!

[@Martatieneunacuenta]

I love it.

[@pontoon01]

amazing, love the song :) can't wait for the album

[@amandajackson1066]

Just amazing, epic and meaningful. Yet again you lads have done it ❤️

[@Jenn524240]

Mmm, saw you guys at ROTR and fell in love even more than I was before..you guys are too legit : ) This is great!

[@metroidfan09]

Hell yeah! Banging

[@nellieblosser4993]

Love it and thanks.

[@bethholland3501]

So much love for this!

[@MusicOfMario]

lol i tried with my marshall monitors headphones and it sounded perfect. could hear any instrumentals. well it depends what people are using to hear.. my headphones sounds good in rock. lucky me i guess but i know what you mean by not sounding so good and clear. i had the same sound with other pair of headphones and speakers i used before. it all comes in sound exprience

[@sarah-514]

All I've got to say is come back to Australia soon!

[@Kyussavvail]

I love it!

[@oandstories]

Hell yeah.... new song!!! :) ♥

[@Gemgemsization]

Its definitely different and yes I kinda miss the old Young Guns with great riffs and beautiful lyrics but this is also their first record on a major label so of course its going to be different and more commercialised Got a feeling it may be like All Time Low's Dirty Dancing but at the end of the day its still good and we should respect their growth and the direction they've taken

[@rampageridley]

I just had an eargasm

[@Lupentaki]

Best song ever :)

[@darisg05]

I'm too lazy to read why almost everyone are complaining tbh, this is good and I'm only pissed off at the fact that I cannot buy this on iTunes, WHY? u-u or is this only in my country is THIS BECAUSE ITS TOO GOOD TO BE ON MY PLAYLIST WHYYYY

[@toothoftheyear]

I like it !

[@iiCheesyNibbles]

Kinda sad how they used to get like 1 - 4 million views on their videos. Used to be such a huge fan of their music on 'All Our Kings Are Dead'. I even bought the CD. I guess people, like I have, moved on from the songs that are around 4 years old.

[@linkittosophie]

I hate how everyone is complaining about "Young Guns changing". Bands need to evolve. They can't just play the same songs they did 5 years ago. Yes, All Our Kings Are Dead is a great album - but wouldn't it get boring if they stuck to that style forever? It's essentially the same as Muse - bands grow up. Matt Bellamy (Muse) wouldn't be writing the same songs he did when he was 20, considering that he is now in his 30s. Bands need to evolve to keep them interesting essentially - bands in their 20s and 30s can't go around singing angst-y teen songs, now, can they? If you don't like it, don't listen to it. Simple as that.

[@ChernovFan100]

AC/DC have been making the same sounding music since the 1970s and they're still one of the biggest bands to ever exist. So yeah, bands can have the same formula for a very long time and be successful. It's a better idea than trying to change your sound and ending up failing horribly.

[@92dunbar]

They've only had 2 albums, most bands explore new sounds when their further on in their careers. I think the change from their original sound of AOKAD to this is quite quick especially when many people started to listen to them when they were more of a rock band. Why couldn't they try to improve their old sound, not that it's the same but to improve and perfect it, they have the talent. Fair enough for them for changing and going in a different direction musically. They will gain many new fans but probably lose quite a few who first starting listening to them and saw them live. Can't imagine where they might go with their next album if this new one is similar to the first two tracks they have released.

[@CaptainChocolatePig]

And tbh, Muse's the 2nd Law didn't really explore that much electronics- only on Madness, Follow Me and the two 2nd Law Tracks. While some of the other tracks were boring, they weren't that electronic. And I personally don't care if a band changes style- if I like it I like it, if not then no. And come on people, this is NOT pop! A pop artist would NEVER make music like this!

[@snbnmi]

It's rather different, but still sounds good. I don't know why a lot of people say that Bones was a wrong step, I really like it. But anyway, speaking in tongues is not that good as I want out.

[@stuart492sp]

Awesome track.....enough said...haters go do one!!

[@RubberDucksss]

Gah! Its perfect! I've already pre-ordered Ones And Zeros! Cannot wait to hear more! Well to you all!:)

[@LenkaPtackova]

Interesting enough to wait for it.

[@HarryTheGuitarGeek]

I get some people don't like it when bands do stuff like this. I actually like this. I like how it sounds like something you'd hear more in the 80's than today. Something in my mind likes to compare this with the new Gerard Way material.

[@dexter4885]

Would love to see a music video or lyric video of At the gates! Haha just saying

[@ahmedessam-ke1xt]

WoW

[@DominoAFC]

No lie, you guys should take some inspiration from Lostprophets. You could carry on what they couldn't.

[@ThePami81]

So it's not heavy. Young Guns is not a heavy band as such. It's a good tune, a mid-tempo rock song with some synths in it. I've heard some of the other songs off the upcoming album, and they sound amazing, AND there is some heavier stuff on it too. Don't lose faith, people!

[@ThePami81]

Nuaex Well I have, as has anybody who has seen this band in the last few months or has the brains to look them up on KZbin.

[@camfre4k]

I can only hear one synth on this song... But I still like them, even though this is different from bones. But I still expect them to have a couple of song that are a bit heavier than this on the new record. After all they're still a rock band, we wouldn't want them to go totally pop like nickelbacks new album. As long as they compose the music for what they think sounds good, and not for what their record label think will sell, it's all good.

[@chrisread9818]

simple if you dont like it dont listen to it ...ive followed YG for the last 6/7 years and think they are brilliant their live sets are awesome .so please dont slate em everyone has different musical tastes :-)

[@Amaya27nightrain]

so much yes. :3 Love it.

[@HERPPPPPP]

probably it's too pop, for some. i like the way Young Guns used to be but this one is quite great, fun tune. if i had to choose, i'd probably go for I Want Out since it was really you. I think I need to hear the whole album first, then decide. Keep making good music, i love your music since the very beginning.

[@PhilHandley]

Love it!!!

[@bourniboy]

I would describe this song as flat. Everything just blends together and sounds the same.

[@sherlocksilver9392]

love it

[@AestheticMusic]

Hmm, kind of pop-ish, but I'm still excited for the album!

[@n1tram_music]

Nueva cancion

[@holaky18]

Gus said that this is a radio edit, the album version is different.

[@katiemoore7917]

this could go with spooky week

[@liammulvey4980]

Initially wasn't a fan but after a few listens it's great. I decided to judge the music on it's quality and not it's genre or level of heaviness

[@sillyvalliexo]

I'm so addicted
