    After YEARS of doing what they have been and doing it EFFING BRILLIANTLY, they pulled off still bringing it in this song and doing something fresh for them without ruining themselves. Life is Progression and they have grown as a band and deserve the FREEDOM to create what they enjoy! Great work brothers!

    Parkway drive is extremely polished in all aspects. Their videos, their production, song structure, lyrics, even the way they plan tours. They are extremely professional and what I think most band should strive to be. I don't understand the hate or criticism they get. They're doing great things and they paved the way for many bands. I can't wait to hear the album.
    Also, I always love your reactions and the way you guys go about it. 🤘🏻

    Even though I am one of those "Horizons" fanboys, who would kill for another Parkway album in that style (especially riffing-wise), I can respect what they do now and I still like it. Maybe not as much but I guess everybody has to admit that those "new" songs do work out great when being played live. Which is important when headlining arena stages and festivals.

    I think on balance, my favourite Parkway album probably is either Deep Blue or Atlas, because they're where my nostalgia lies, but every single album since has had at least one song I absolutely love (Wishing Wells) and several that I really enjoy and maybe one or two I'm a little less bothered about which for my money still makes them damn good albums!! This one so far feels like its going to hold to that form! Do I expect to find my new favourite Parkway song on it, not really, do I expect to be screaming along to most of the songs for years to come, absolutely!! Looking forward to this!

    • @nolankuffner3573
      @nolankuffner3573 Рік тому +3

      And to be honest, I think Parkway has kind of realized that.
      It's like Refused on The Shape of Noise. They made what they felt was the best album they'd make and they quit for a LONG time.
      But then they realized that, they could make new music that might find fans in a place in their lives where new songs might mean just as much as those older songs.
      Parkway knows that fans like you, who were grabbed by those albums, won't find new favorites, but why try to make Atlas 2 if that chapter in their life is closed? They'll play some older songs live, for those fans that go to the concerts and the fans that just want to listen to the old albums still have them.
      But if Parkway wants to move forward, they have to expand their audience. They've always pushed against the expected and even the walls of the genres they were put into. They did it with Horizons, they did it with Reverence, and they're doing it here.
      It's probably crazy to think about where their sound could be in two albums time, but I think that this sound is reflective of where they are as people: dark, reflective, and contemplative but still optimistic enough to keep making music, to keep touring, and to reflect all of their thoughts and emotions and not just the relentlessly pissed off ones.

    • @watertouchesthesun
      @watertouchesthesun Рік тому +1

    Quite refreshing to see people open their minds en just enjoy the music. I like myself some metalcore as much as the next guy but music is just so much broader then limiting yourself to one genre. Which I feel is what parkway is trying to do even more with the new album. It is a lot more catchy and "poppy" then their old sound for sure, but you can't expect a band to keep churning out the same sound for decades. I enjoy the new songs alot

    My heart races when there's metalcore on the ride. I have a few things from Parkway Drive, especially the older albums.
    I listened to a lot in 2005, I remember that the first album I listened to was Killing with a Smile (blackout, Mutiny, romance is dead, Pandora) and the later Horizons that released in 2007 🤨 (carrion, Horizons)
    But this album was very show, like Napalm is cool, Glitch, Darker still, Imperial Heretic and The greatest fear, in short, in general lines a genuinely good track.
    Did you like Matheus, what is your perception about it? Guy came out a fucking track from the architects, it's worth checking out.
    Reminds me of Pink Floyd's intro hahaha another break on the wall, even progressive guys have influence.
