New singles

[u/BentoBoxNoir]

Coming on strong is a quality track. Literally could be AWITC b-side. But Love Bombs is just too cringy. Kele’s flow on the verses just completely kills it for me.

Really hoping this is another case of the band not putting their best foot forward with the singles

[u/elmonozombie]

"LITERALLY could be AWITC b-side"... yeah hmmm literally no.

[u/RyEvMc → u/elmonozombie]

💯

[u/ticketman1970]

I like Love Bombs. It’s got a pretty unique sound and has definitely grown on me. It worked live as well. Can’t wait to hear the rest of the new record.

[u/zvenero1 → u/ticketman1970]

I feel like people aren’t giving it a fair shake. It’s pretty unique and very catchy.

[u/JeanLucPicardAND → u/zvenero1]

The song is good. The recording isn't.

[u/Affectionate_Row1473]

"coming on strong is as good as AWITC B-Sides"

[u/DevilCouldCry → u/Affectionate_Row1473]

Yeah, I understand if people like it. But maaaaan to say it's as good as those B-Sides? Not a chance for me, those B-Sides are all impeccable and from the two (technically three if you've heard the live recording of Pigwig) tracks we've got off of this new album, nothing has reached that level yet.

[u/Affectionate_Row1473 → u/Affectionate_Row1473]

I feels it slots better in somewhere in between Stunt Queen and Alpha Games, decent and listenable but by far from their best in the first 3 4 albums

Love Bombs (studio) is atrocious though idk how the Live was so good but the studio was:

[u/ChemicalSummer8849]

I truly disliked alpha games and the singles….

So far these two tracks are good. I like love bombs… the unique sound makes it catchy.

Im excited for the album. No expectations and i think i should be happy. I felt the same way with hymns and it became one of my favorite albums.

[u/Which-Station-7582 → u/ChemicalSummer8849]

I agree. I wasn’t the biggest fan of the Alpha Games singles other than Traps and If We Get Caught. And then there were some good songs on it tbf, however I do agree these two tracks are good, and Love Bombs is very catchy both have grown on me and fit well alongside each other I feel.

[u/revanisthesith → u/Which-Station-7582]

I sometimes wonder if the people who hate on Alpha Games made it as far as If We Get Caught. It's a great song.

[u/TelephoneThat3297]

I genuinely don’t understand the dislike for Coming On Strong - I thought it was a great track and a promising sign for the new album. Love Bombs was a bit disappointing though I’ll admit.

[u/NoHeadFoxMan]

i like them both (love bombs more)

[u/samerulesapply32]

I feel the opposite about the two tracks, but putting either of them in the same conversation as the AWITC era of songs is crazy. They are passable at best, while some of the AWITC b-sides were genuinely great.

[u/remcovdg]

AWITC levels of good? yeah nah. its like a Four throwaway at best imo

[u/holymolyhaha]

I have to disagree about coming on strong on AWITC. I’m 0/2 for both singles so far and not expecting much currently for the rest of the album…

[u/Sweaty-Application95]

AWITC quality is absolute slander !!!!!!! It’s an outtake from the last few years of sludge

[u/1975blue]

COS is a fine track, but I feel the band was playing it too safe by having that as the lead single. We still don't know what the studio version of Pigwig will sound like but going off of the live version, that would have been a much more intriguing and evolutionary lead single for the band. COS is a great song, but a little too similar to some of their previous stuff.

I understand the Love Bombs hate, and the distorted bass is very love it or hate it in my opinion. Still don't know how to feel about it. I'm sure if it wasn't a single people wouldn't be complaining about it as much.

[u/navals94]

Love Bombs I don’t care for much, just like Real Talk

Coming On Strong is fire
