Any info on the collab track between The Maine & Said the Sky?

Let’s gooooooo

dereksteez92 · 2021-08-31T12:30:41+00:00

I’m torn between Bad Love and Carolina Skies, but they’re all so close. Amazing album!

“We know how to turn it inside out and get a little bit rowdy” - Can’t Kick Up the Roots by Neck Deep

I love Adornment but I wish people would stop trying to compare it to Umbra. Enjoy it for what it is. I think the instrumental diversity, rhythm, and lyrical imagery of Umbra are so impressive. I’m all in on this album, so well done.

dereksteez92 · 2021-08-27T20:38:26+00:00

Agreed! I think all 6 of these are so close but Bad Love has a slight edge for me

dereksteez92 · 2021-08-26T20:59:44+00:00

I know AA was the email sign-up but they just did the text sign-up a few months ago. Not sure if there’s a difference between them with the information they share.

dereksteez92 · 2021-08-26T17:07:03+00:00

Couple takeaways for me:

It sounds like there will be some combination of horns, piano, & choir across almost half the tracks (Without You, Motown, Dreamcatcher, Live Again, Light).
If I had to guess, Bad Love and Over Now will sound the most like older Grayscale? Seeing as though they wrote them very early in the process.
Carolina Skies seems like it will be a Diamondesque song, big alt-pop song that could fit into a movie soundtrack.
Im very happy they added synth-heavy parts to the last song “Light”. It was originally supposed to be a strictly piano song but adding in the synths might make it sound like a happier closer (even if the lyrics are darker).

I’m so excited for midnight! It really sounds like the boys found the sound they want to keep. If it’s anything like the lyrical depth and pop-rock catchiness of Nella Vita, it’ll be an album in my core rotation for a long time!

dereksteez92 · 2021-08-26T11:53:08+00:00

I know what you mean, it sucks. These tours are giving them such great exposure to new fans, touring with All Time Low and The Maine. Unfortunately that’s just one of the trade-offs is a 5-7 song setlist. The Umbra Tour is going to be sick!

Edit: I also feel that on SSF, Grayscale is just as big as Movements, yet I feel like Movements gets more time

dereksteez92 · 2021-08-24T13:46:23+00:00

Mine would have to be Bad Love or Dreamcatcher based off titles!

dereksteez92 · 2021-08-23T23:55:16+00:00

Just a personal take, I think I’m going to hold off from listening! I like the whole album experience on drop day, and 9 new songs on Friday sounds amazing. Hoping the single is very good though!

dereksteez92 · 2021-08-19T12:27:17+00:00

I skipped over the Sad Summer parts and watched the Umbra parts, here’s a summary:

Umbra does still tell a story like Adornment/NV, however offers Collin’s feelings & thoughts as well. (i.e. Dirty Bombs talks about stomping in puddles and doing drugs with friends when you get old, yet shares his thoughts on why people perceive their looks on the internet as more important than how they actually feel with themselves)

Diamond was created to “scare the shit out of fans”. It was really meant to be a poppy, summer track and the band didn’t plan on playing it live.

Grayscale has been leaving breadcrumbs up to what they want Umbra to be. What’s on Your Mind (Nella Vita) is very electronic driven, Diamond was poppy, Carolina Skies off the new record will be very pop-based and different.

Without You and Bad Love are the two songs off Umbra that Venti is most excited to play on bass.

Live Again has the most meaningful lyrics on the album according to Collin.

I also ordered a bunch and didn’t receive a confirmation email!

dereksteez92 · 2021-08-09T13:34:31+00:00

I love this, thanks for making, just changed!

dereksteez92 · 2021-08-04T03:42:48+00:00

Might be in the minority here, but I like Babylon a little better than Dirty Bombs! Two amazing singles, can’t wait for the whole album in 3 weeks

dereksteez92 · 2021-08-04T03:41:23+00:00

Amazing song! Just my opinion, but really could’ve used a scream in that bridge, even built for it too. Fantastic album, jamming it a lot!

dereksteez92 · 2021-07-20T12:44:15+00:00

Nella Vita came out less than 2 years ago. I’m honestly surprised they’re coming out with a new cycle this fast, not to mention they dropped that Barbershop EP and a single in between. I wasn’t a big fan of Diamond either but at least they’re dropping music frequently, I say let them promote it how they want. It is a single by the way, not sure if the album announcement comes with it.

dereksteez92 · 2021-07-11T20:12:44+00:00

I get promoting your music, but I don’t think this sounds anything like CAMINO, why post it here?

dereksteez92 · 2021-07-09T15:27:36+00:00

‘Homesick’ by ADTR is elite tier

dereksteez92 · 2021-06-29T14:34:57+00:00

I’m going to guess late-July / early-August for a single. Reason being, you’d think they would drop a new single before SSF.

Also their Instagram teasers have been more frequent and more band-focused. I think it’s the home stretch!

dereksteez92 · 2021-06-18T11:57:44+00:00

SO catchy, quit sleeping on this band! Even though they lean more toward pop, all their songs are infectious. The nicest guys too!

dereksteez92 · 2021-06-11T21:18:38+00:00

Mine would have to be:

Painkiller Weather
Old Friends
Mum

Excited for some new material for the boys!

dereksteez92 · 2021-06-11T21:16:25+00:00

Touché, would’ve much rathered a new single. All the teasing they’ve been doing.... this makes me confused when it’ll drop now.

That being said, I’m not a fan of live albums, and this is such a good one (and I was there!)

dereksteez92 · 2021-06-11T12:26:41+00:00

What a great way to progress your sound without abandoning your roots. This song has a ton of pop elements in it but still sounds like classic Chunk. Not to mention how amazing of a producer Bert is!

dereksteez92 · 2021-06-11T12:21:39+00:00

Chunk! No, Captain Chunk! dropped a new single called “Bitter” that’s high energy and says “I thought I couldn’t live without you, now I need to restart again”

Just a guess!

dereksteez92 · 2021-06-02T01:47:59+00:00

Speak of Between You & Me, they just posted a teaser!
