It's always scary when a new Spiritbox appreciator dives into this song series and/or this performance because this is them at their most progressive which is NOT the stuff most newer listeners expect from them. But this is kind of how they started. Plus, the spirit box chatter in the background throws some off as it did you. Also, Courtney goes places with her vocals in this, especially part 2, that she almost never does anymore. For me, this is my favorite type of Spiritbox. And I will happily pay cash moneys for more songs like this.
The Mara Effect was the introduction to Spiritbox on the first EP.. that's why it's so special to fans.. the chatter is a spiritbox.. definitely their most progressive song.. wish they would do more like this.. but anyways.. do you listen to Periphery?.. if not check them out!
I first heard part. 3 in their excellent SiriusXM Liquid Metal "Metal Detector" Live Show, it caught my attention and once I heard this version I was obsessed. Like you I struggled with the first two parts, they are more complex to diggest, but I quickly learnt to love them just as much. Still the static noises refering to a spiritbox device is a little too prominent to my taste, but hey, can't be perfect. I would also recommend "The Beauty of Suffering", especially the version from that same SiriusXM Liquid Metal "Metal Detector" Live Show (pt. 3) ua-cam.com/video/tA0-WXsm-T0/v-deo.html Cheers.
This is definitely their most progressive songs and can be hard to listen to on a first try. I wasn't a huge fan of this until I heard it a few times myself Also, fun fact the "radio noises" was an actual spiritbox
You could probably use your reaction to this brilliant 4 part performance as a way to torture a confession out of people who didn't do it just so they could make listening to you complain stop.
The end of part 3 is still as sick as the first time I heard it. Eery and powerful
🤘
