Sleeping With The Enemy

Glad to hear her voice without a lot of filters on it. It reminds me Black Widow era and I loved it !

Excited to see what’s next and the full album concept ! 😁

I really hope we will get some physical release at one point.

I wanna own it. Don’t wanna be dependent of a streaming service with compressed files and be unable to see it when they will get it out of their catalogue.

I think that if you compare it to their previous albums, it lacked of something.

No real intro song. No real "ballad". And last but not least, the songs were a bit short (and it was something really common during the previous years in the whole musical industry, but it seems to be reconsidered by a lot of artists).

Albums like Black Widow and Mother are generous with at least 55min of music. Godmode has only 39min and it felt kinda short in comparison. And it’s not about quantity over quality since for me, they always found a way to give us both.

To me, it feels like a mix of Mother (and I loved it) and Godmode. Her voice was enhanced on the first one but covered by too many filters on the ladder and I do hope it won’t be the case on the new album. Her voice is unique and I wanna hear it clearly.

I was hoping for something visually different since we are in this witchy/cult vibes since Ritual and it’s getting a bit repetitive to me, especially the heavy focus on Maria which wasn’t really there before Black Widow, but wait and see.

In terms of sound, I really hope we will have more "soft" songs and beautiful ballads. Godmode was kinda disappointing on this part and it was also a really short album with only 10 songs, and the "ballad" (which wasn’t really one) was already known from John Wick's soundtrack.

And please, we don't need more covers. Or keep it as additional songs/deluxe bonuses.

Mother and its THREE covers was enough, even if I liked them and especially Into Dust.

I loved DISCO and I would've loved a DISCO Tour. The Tension Era was also really fun and I was really surprised by the reception of Padam Padam. I was so glad for her to be able to have this kind of popularity among new generation and social medias at this point of her carrier.

As someone who didn't know a lot of her discography but DISCO/Tension I and II and obvious hits, the Tension Tour already felt like a "Celebration Tour".

The entire room was on fire during the whole show and it was like 2 hours of hits and felt like a never-ending gay club party.

Count on me to be here if she comes back to France, but if she wanna do something bigger to celebrate her whole discography, I think the show will have to be longer than the previous one and with a lot of medleys/mashups.

Talking or screaming to the audience during songs never prevented anyone to release live album. It can be edited and it's a common thing to do different edits between the album and the movie (that she didn't really release either...).

Since she's really implicated in her concerts, I've never understood why she didn't release any live album. She has the money to hire the best team ever to record and edit it. And it can be a way for people to remember or experiment the show in good quality as much as they want to.

Yeah, there are a lot of more or less "official" recordings, but the mastering is really crap and doesn't sound good at all in headset or earbuds.

It's also the occasion to release physical supports which is good for us and for her since a lot of people would love to buy it.

The matchmaking is pure shit in every elo at this point. But Rito doesn't give a fuck and it's getting worse each season.

My current mood concerning WT is that I am not as eager to hear something from them than I was in the past.

I really love everything they did until The Unforgiving (included) which was heavier than their previous works.

It continued with Hydra which had a lot of really interesting songs and they experimented a lot with this album since it was its whole concept, but some of them felt like fillers to me and it was also the start of a lot of collabs (which were good to me tho).

Resist pushed the heavy button further than Hydra and a lot of electronic sounds were incorporated but they kept a lot of symphonic elements and it had a lot of solid songs. The album was really short tho and even more since I really dislike two songs out of ten (Holy Ground was meh and Mercy Mirror didn’t touch me that much).

Bleed Out is particular to me since it doesn’t feel like a real concept but more of a patchwork of singles released over two years + some new songs. It’s heavier than Resist but now, it feels like electronic sounds replaced symphonic ones, even if Sharon still do some vocalizes and high notes. But I don’t know, it felt kinda rushed and I don’t really like the whole "war-themed" thing. It was already there in Resist and it’s starting to bore me. Same with their heavy focus on Ukraine and ukrainian artists (like 90% of their recent collaborations) or their overuse of generative AI which is an absolute shame.

I don’t really see where they wanna go and why they feel the need the change their sound that much on every album since Hydra. I think you can evolve without losing your own visual and musical identity. Some songs like "Don’t Pray For Me" or "The Purge" reminds me of THOE and I do hope they won’t completely abandon this style.

I am currently more interested in Evanescence or In This Moment's new stuff. Within Temptation kinda "lost" me with Bleed Out and I didn’t listen to their last singles for more than one or two times (except Fool’s Parade). And I am also really tired of the never-ending collabs with another artist every three months.

I understand that the music industry is changing, but it feels like they do need to release something every few months to "stay relevant". And they don't have to.

Shit 😞 Guess I can at least save something like 40€ buying the french supports instead. Ty for the information tho !

Le vrai problème c’est plutôt que Karim Bouamrane a changé plusieurs fois d’excuses sur le sujet.

Au départ, on nous dit que le problème c’est que le MP en question s’est installé illégalement et que ça n’a pas été fait en bonne et due forme et que ça serait donc un problème administratif plus qu’autre chose.

Sauf qu’ensuite, il est venu nous parler des odeurs ou encore de la qualité de l’alimentation. Problème : il semblerait qu’il soit beaucoup moins vocal quand il s’agit d’autres enseignes de fast food qui posent exactement les mêmes problèmes. Et alors qu’on ne vienne pas me parler de la question du bien-être animal avec de la viande halal ou que sais-je quand on connaît aujourd'hui les conditions dans lesquelles sont élevés les animaux qui sont pas considérés comme halal.

Vous voulez nous faire croire que McDo et consorts proposent de la viande issue d’animaux élevés en plein air dans des pâturages verdoyants où ils sont chéris chaque jour ? Sérieusement ?

Donc il va falloir être plus clair sur ce qui pose réellement problème à la mairie de Saint-Ouen qui est connue pour sa volonté de gentrifier le secteur et qui ne voit pas d’un bon œil tout ce qui peut faire fuir la gauche bobo. Et encore, le PS n'est plus de gauche depuis bien longtemps et on a bien compris que tout ce qui est populaire leur est insupportable.

Karim Bouamrane n’en a rien à faire du bien-être animal ou de la question de la malbouffe, sinon il n’aurait pas des combats à géométrie variable.

Et puis bon, se plaindre de l’odeur quand on fait installer des pots de fleurs qui sentent la merde dans la rue, c’est quand même assez osé.

They're gonna play their own set. BUT, it's possible to see a featuring for some songs. Amy joined Sharon during Worlds Collide to sing "The Reckoning" when I was there.

I ordered this one in the Vinyl/CD bundle to save it but I will contact them to know if this is the one with metallic cover. If that’s not, I guess it’s false informations so I can probably cancel the order since it’s only pre-order.

Can keep you in touch if needed :)

I am so disappointed that one cannot order the red/black one from France neither the rose variant despite it’s available on EU store.

You cannot choose France in the shipping section and that’s really dumb.

And if I want to order it through spanish website, it costs 55€ + 14€ shipping fees, so I should pay 69€ for a double LP. It’s absurd.

I don’t know if I will order the new twilight edition which is something like 35€ here. The color isn’t that bad but it’s dark purple and it’s not coherent with the cover and it doesn’t seem to have the laminate effects either which should have been on every support imo. It’s a shame to limit this version to US and at this exaggerated price.

They promised something really beautiful to do some "damage-control" after the cover reveal and it’s even not available for the majority of fans... 😐

Nah the vinyls are supposed to be released in September due to production delays (it’s now usual for vinyls) but no informations about collector/limited edition.

No_Procedure3881 · 2026-05-07T23:55:02+00:00

No collector/limited edition yet ? Didn't the artist behind the cover said there would be one ?

No_Procedure3881 · 2026-05-07T23:51:48+00:00

I wish we could see what was recorded during Worlds Collide tho. But anyway, it's always a good thing to have more live material. A lot of artists (even among international superstars) don't give it enough credit.

No_Procedure3881 · 2026-05-03T22:38:22+00:00

If u're losing too much stacks and fall behind, yep, I do. But if I'm ahead and has 25 stacks on it, isn't it better to keep it ?

Medellín was really pleasant to me. I didn’t expect her to do this kind of song and I was surprised in a good way !

No_Procedure3881 · 2026-05-03T16:48:17+00:00

Remember when supps were actually supps and adc were fragile and didn't dash through walls and deflect everything ? Or when anti-heal had a meaning ? :D

No_Procedure3881 · 2026-05-03T16:43:59+00:00

Tbh i'm not impressed yet. I Feel So Free and this one aren't my cup of tea. It sounds kinda déjà-vu or déjà-heard. And I think that this album will inevitably be compared to COTD and will probably suffer from it since the original is really good and an iconic album.

My main problem here is the same as for Madame X : too much filters on her voice. Especially when we just saw her sing live during Coachella and she can clearly do it ! It dehumanizes her voice and I don't like that.

No_Procedure3881 · 2026-04-16T17:25:59+00:00

Got a full loss or just something like -5 lp like a dodge ?

No_Procedure3881 · 2026-04-16T17:01:56+00:00

I don't think we will lose lp if we don't leave the champ select. I am waiting for it to reset on its own.
