What I like the most about BOT is that you guys don't give a crap and do whatever you want. Love every single new song with completely distinct sounds and musical approaches. Love Kenny's voice as always!
If your opinion IS FACT, then please explain the band asking the fans what they wanted? Take a look at their website. Kenny pretty much states that they "were giving the fans what they wanted and making a heavy album." For the record, this ain't heavy at all, just a Muse rip-off!
Its 1 song. Who knows what the rest of the album will be like. Plus one could say its "Heavier" than more recent stuff. Bet u will still be checking out the rest of the album even if its a "Muse rip-off".
Craig Bishop Perspective. A lot heavier than their recent stuff, and sounds heavy for Birds of Tokyo. I'd say this is what a lot of the fans wanted - something that brings back the feel of Day One/Universes while adding different elements to strengthen the sound.
TheOne Freeman Sure. "Off Kilter" which is probably my all time BoT fave, "Wayside", "Broken Bones", "Black Sheets". "Universes" is probably their best album
"Massively impressed with that time change!!" If you aren't already familiar with them, then check out Ian Kenny's (the lead singer) other band Karnivool. They do a lot of odd time signatures and changes that sound really cool. For example: ua-cam.com/video/sDKsosOvVmw/v-deo.html
hey bro the time signature near the end (3:05) sounds like 7/8 thats how i would count it anyways... hope this makes the radio Commercial radio hey !!!!
what can one say the Birds of tokyo rock . awesome new track brace ,saw them live twice in the last month absolutely killed it can't wait till i get my hands on the new cd . Birds are the best
Love this! Getting back to the BoT roots. With a little less distortion this would almost have fit right in on the Day one album. A bit of a karnivool influence there perhaps? Good times ahead!
I'm only after finding out who this band is after a very long time from watching home and away. I couldn't find out from anyone who it was..... Finally 😁😁😁😁😁
why does everyone always want the same stuff ? the best part of BOT is you get something completely different every time, and you just give it a listen and even though it's different you like it - that's what good music is
Listening to this live was one of my best live music experiences absolutely awesome, sounds great but the headphone audio doesn’t give it justice! Which says a lot about a song that still sounds great through headphones!
Kristof's Konnection that's right. Plans and lanterns can be obliterated and sunk to the bottom of the Pacific. What we need are proper guitars, blinding time signatures and fuzz so dense they make your ears bleed. Not to mention a breakdown that would have the pit in utter meltdown. Bravo indeed!!, oh, and encore immediately.
"Of all important things Never forget your name Of all important things Remember all their sins Defy erase rebuild Not as servants but as kings" Cue throw chairs and smash shit!
I love this track. I can't find this to download anywhere in the UK - not an iphone person before anybody points me in that direction. Where can i download it?
So now that I have heard it all. I'm impressed. Give me more. The countdown is on for the album now. Ps. When you basically asked for our permission to make a heavier album I was expecting a lot heavier than that. 🙂
Can I hear a big "FARK YEAH"...... The guitar is back I tell ya.
THE GUITAR IS BAAAAAACK...
FARK YEAH

boy..
the birds are back!!
and they really did listen to us
so proud of what they've done!
Birds are fucking back! Oh how we've missed you! This is the sound I've fell in love with.
Definitely getting some old skool BOT vibes
Could recommend some of their older work similar to this?
TheOne Freeman Sure. "Off Kilter" which is probably my all time BoT fave, "Wayside", "Broken Bones", "Black Sheets". "Universes" is probably their best album
TheOne Freeman Also "Stay" and "One Way" from 2005 are wicked songs
TheOne Freeman Scrap that, start at the "Day One" album lol
Absolutely love the off beat guitar riff in the middle section. The breakdown before dropping it all gives me the chills. Love it.
I've always appreciated their stuff but never really got into them. However, this song blew my socks off. Massively impressed with that time change!!
Me too man, I stumbled across this song by accident and now I'm hooked
"Massively impressed with that time change!!"

i'm not usually into birds of tokyo but this song changed my mind about them
The heaviest Birds of Tokyo song. I knew they had it in but never expected it from this album.
yo this is actually really chill
Fucking hell, that brief switch to 7 really made my day.
Rel
thewizardninja z
Haha, same here! :) And we've got a pretty educated crowd in here, because many people point to that moment as well.
Wow. I've heard about Birds of Tokyo for years, but this is the first time I've been captivated. Awesome stuff!!
maybe you should try karnivool then
Just came back from WA day and had to listen to this again. Thanks again for the amazing day. Now officially a fan ❤
Now your talking welcome back Birds of Vool fantastic
Birds of Toolkyo
Thanks to home and away the new river boys part I found this song.
That’s how I found the song
BOT are back! Always tight, always great vocals - massive single to kick off a new album.
This is the best shit you've put out in fucking forever. The time signature shift towards the end and the guitar tones make it sound Tool as fuck.
Reading through comments for this, sitting at work thinking fuck yeah tool is on, was surprised.
The producer of this song has produced 3 tool albums coincidentally
SuperAdy2000 I'm very aware of that.
Birds of Toolkyo
hey bro the time signature near the end (3:05) sounds like 7/8 thats how i would count it anyways... hope this makes the radio Commercial radio hey !!!!
Oh Birds how I've missed you
so freaking good.
Such a sick song. A+. Brilliant album
YEah you GUYS !!! really really sick - gotta see your next sydney show!
Sounds rlly good
I was ready to give up hope on BoT after March Fires, but this is going back to their roots with a bit of new flavour added to it. Awesome work, guys!
what can one say the Birds of tokyo rock . awesome new track brace ,saw them live twice in the last month absolutely killed it can't wait till i get my hands on the new cd . Birds are the best
The birds are back. Master piece of a song!
Home and away the river boys
Shhhh oliver
Love you guys!
Good to see them back like their old stuff!! Sooooo good
awesome track ..i like this style of birds of tokyo ..awesome
Awesome album. Not disappointed.
groovy and beautiful. good song
It sounds like Muse covering Universes... it's glorious :)
😂 this made my day. I love the pun too..
@jess that's a very obscure Muse pun if it was one haha
Maybe not a pun, but muse have a sing called glorious.
Jess yeah, the one off the Invincible EP, decent song
*glorious song
Guys this is really cool. Loving the sound.
Yep that’s the good stuff
PERFECT MUSIC
yeah this is pretty awesome, could go a whole album of this.
great song!!!!!
Brilliant.
oh, hell yes! loving the creative direction, BOT!
This is the most underrated band ever :(
Ikr
Love this! Getting back to the BoT roots. With a little less distortion this would almost have fit right in on the Day one album. A bit of a karnivool influence there perhaps?
Good times ahead!
Like Karnvool meets Coldplay and Marron 5
deserves more airplay on radio .
Thankyou guys! This is so good!
So good!
Birds are back baby! fark yes
i love this song
Remember that time on Home and Away when the river boys returned with this theme, that was dope asf.
I'm only after finding out who this band is after a very long time from watching home and away. I couldn't find out from anyone who it was..... Finally 😁😁😁😁😁
That's where I came from 😂 really wanted to know what you tune is took me about an hour to find it
I loved that scene this is the perfect song for that scene
Dylan Curran Heath brat ion is coming back on home and away
Sounding the goods guys!
AWESOME!!!!
Best song ever!
Another Brilliant song by Birds of Tokyo :)
OMG YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SO MUCH YES!! Thankyou BoT!
Very, very nice.
love it
Yay all the lyrics
The new song is faaaaaantasticalness!!!!!!! Hoping you come back to Bendigo again :) :)
why does everyone always want the same stuff ? the best part of BOT is you get something completely different every time, and you just give it a listen and even though it's different you like it - that's what good music is
Best!!!! Super! Love it!
Listening to this live was one of my best live music experiences absolutely awesome, sounds great but the headphone audio doesn’t give it justice! Which says a lot about a song that still sounds great through headphones!
finally!!! omg sooo birds!!!!
LOVE LOVE LOVE!!! All the MUSE comparisons, yea right. Kenny's vocals are leagues ahead. Can't wait for the whole album.
i love birds of tokyo but matt bellamy's vocals are second to none in modern alt rock
Ian doesn't have a falsetto range as strong or a head range as big, he kinda sits in Matts middle range for both, which is still pretty great
10/10, never get rid of the distortion. this is what birds of tokyo should sound like, not plans or lanterns
Kristof's Konnection that's right. Plans and lanterns can be obliterated and sunk to the bottom of the Pacific. What we need are proper guitars, blinding time signatures and fuzz so dense they make your ears bleed. Not to mention a breakdown that would have the pit in utter meltdown. Bravo indeed!!, oh, and encore immediately.
far ken nice one lads!!!!
God I wish I could find the version of this with WASO, was nothing short of perfection live
The sound that I've been missing for a while :)
very nice.. very tool sounding... of course with the distinct birds flava all over it.. luv it,, no hash tag lol
holy fuck this song is awesome. love the guitar and the time signiture
ALC0LITE Birds said they got inspiration from Parkways "crushed" track.
This sounds very similar to Cryoshell's 'Face Me'. I still love it!
do they have more songs like this omg
Yas! This is more like it.
me encanta ♥
Holy shit yes! Keen!
That chorus is PHAT
Not in the Tool class, but in this genre very good. The breakdown in particular is exemplary.
Karnivool is (the lead singer, Ian Kenny's other band).
Birds of Tokyo is like the mainstream radio friendly version of Karnivool. 😂
Is that a distorted guitar I hear?
Welcome back Day One/Universes BoT
The bulk of what you are hearing is synth and bass fuzz, doesn't matter sounds good.
Stoneman180190 never heard of them
Thus could have been slowed down more and made it really hit the heart ❤️
This is actually pretty good, them views tho
"Of all important things
Never forget your name
Of all important things
Remember all their sins
Defy erase rebuild
Not as servants but as kings"
Cue throw chairs and smash shit!
THIS IS WHAT I IMAGINE WILL BE PLAYING AT THE APOCALYPSEEE
Fuck I havnt heard anything this good in a long time
Its got them AFI Sing The Sorrow feels, fucking mint take my money
Holy Shit, this is bloody good! Well done boys - big love. I have no words for how happy this makes me!!!!! :D
This could be a James Bond 007 soundtrack, Epic!
✨
post rock flavours. i approve.
Bass-sik 😎
cool
I love this track. I can't find this to download anywhere in the UK - not an iphone person before anybody points me in that direction. Where can i download it?
3 thumbs up boys as always
Where are the chords for this?
Not sure what to think about this.
Ya Joking shoulda been higher!
Reminds one of "The Cure"
whats with the weird orb?? btw luv this song :P
Fucking amazing
OH MY GOD F*CKING AMAZING!!! 😍😍
Vool is *BACK* fuck this is good.
The cure guitar
Mmmmmmm that is one tasty riff
So now that I have heard it all. I'm impressed. Give me more. The countdown is on for the album now.
Ps. When you basically asked for our permission to make a heavier album I was expecting a lot heavier than that. 🙂
faaaark did I just hear that 😨🍻👈
Fuckin' banger boys!
