[live4music]

im loooovin it. less "sludgy". but it really doesnt sound like norma jean

[Romancebled]

i'm kind of disappointed...

[meeotch]

yea not too sure... its ok but not what i wanted to hear from them

[buysoap]

not bad.

[kissbangkill]

i think it's pretty bangin.

[yutsmcgee]

i fuckin dig

[abusedcat]

dissapointing.....

[PaintTheTarget]

i'm liking it, though it doesnt sound like norma jean....i'm perplexed, though kinda similar to my reaction to ETID and the first songs i heard from gutter phenomenon and that album was the balls

[XErikxthexRedX]

ummmm, no.

[sellitforcaeish]

im loooovin it. less "sludgy". but it really doesnt sound like norma jean

what the fuck are you talking about?

[live4music]

what the fuck are you talking about?

what am i talkin about? im talking about the sludgy sound of most of their songs. like memphis will be laid to rest. did i invent this word in my head? how can you not know what im sayin

[sewn_together]

Way more melodic than anything on O' God...
Sounds like it belongs on Underoath's new cd.

norma jean and sludge are two words i would not typically put in the same sentence

[manball788]

i love it
just less chaotic more badass
probably the single so the rest of the cd will probably sound harder/different

that still too much like botch for you other fuckers?

[sewn_together]

norma jean and sludge are two words i would not typically put in the same sentence

O' God had sludge all over it.

[fromwithin]

its nu-metal plain and simple.

[schumach5]

Anyone else getting a Thrice-esque vibe out of Cory's vocals?

[ilovebsb]

for some reason that song really reminds me of the bled... weird

[Drew Beringer]

its nu-metal plain and simple.
haha I wouldn't go that far.

[live4music]

O' God had sludge all over it.
thank you!!

[Alex DiVincenzo]

Sounded good at first but way too melodic for NJ. Maybe it'll grow on me in an Underoath kind of way, but this is disappointing.

[Apocalypse Now]

I have no idea what I think about it...I do sort of here the Dustin-esque vocals that someone else mentioned...but...this doesn't sound like Norma Jean. It's alright...I just hope that the rest is better. I kinda feel let down.

[bitterhalo]

i really like it. i cant' wait for this album

[abusedcat]

for some reason that song really reminds me of the bled... weirdit reminds me of the bled too.

[kittypants]

this isn't heavy enough.

[CHRISRIPPEDOUT]

i think it's pretty tight. not typical norma jean, which just means they are trying new shit. every band should try new shit.

[feigningapology]

Is that Cory?!!! What happened to the vox? This doesn't sound like a mastered version of the song. It doesn't sound "loud" to me, guitars aren't roaring, vox aren't deafening, what's going on?

[mikearduini9]

I don't dig.

[jeffity]

I digg. It's better than a lot of other crap coming out. I'm looking forward to it. I don't mind when bands try new things. I don't need to hear/buy the same CD over and over again.

[etwiels]

People who still cared about Norma Jean after the last album just killed themselves.

ahhahahaha

never talk bad about that song. never.

[dillonzach86]

It's definitely different. I dig it. I'm just not sure how much yet.

[gregplaysdrums]

Norma Jean isn't sludge and has never been sludgy in the past either. Just because they play slower metalcore songs doesn't make them sludge.

[youcomebeforeyo]

Pretty cool. I thought by Shanluu this would be the direction they may take. Can't wait for Redeemer!

[Venona]

i usally hate Norma Jean
but i like this song
adding more melody into their songs is a good step for them

[reav]

This would be the best song on Define The Great White Line - or one of the better ones on Found In The Flood.

[Criesofthepast7]

its good. i think i may like this cd.

[fearthesloths]

i like this song 1000x better than anything else this band has done... they finally wrote a song that doesn't soley consist of crappy breakdowns and fuckin dissonant chords... this album could be good after all

[last light]

this band is god awful.

[True NC Tyler]

Well, I like it I guess. I would like to hear some breakdowns on this CD though O' God struggled with that. This CD should be alot better than the last one though. I still don't like the new vocalist. But maybe it'll grow on me. I will probably pick this up.

[ForeverInADay]

ew, what the fuck?

[Oblivion Pact]

This is a pretty good song but sounds a little like they're going new-metal. I hope the rest of the reocord sounds more like their older stuff.

[CalebAndrew]

Norma Jean rules....At first listen I do hear the "Define the Great Line" sound, I must confess. But I'm sure the album will be great and stand as its own achievement. The vocals sound more accessible even if some of what I liked about the old jamz has been tamed.
Oh, and the dude who said "sludgy" I don't' think he meant in a bad way. I think he was describing the dissonance and vocal mix.

[joshluke2003]

I digg. It's better than a lot of other crap coming out. I'm looking forward to it. I don't mind when bands try new things. I don't need to hear/buy the same CD over and over again.

well said - I agree, and I like it!!!

[manball788]

stop with the underoath comparisons

the only reason you guys think it sounds anything alike is cause Define the great line was EXTREMELY influenced by norma jean

oh sweet christ tell me this is a joke...

[manball788]

nope

[love_american_style]

the majority of Norma Jean's fans are gonna hate this.....however it's only one song off their new album and i like it....cant wait to hear the rest of it.

hahah dear god...ahhaah just wow. ill leave you to your ignorance.

[fromwithin]

[manball788]

its REDICULOUSLY obvious in "regards to self" how much the guitar's are like norma jean/ chariot
any idiot that plays guitar can hear that

the slides and the chaos chords weren't brought in as strongly til this cd, that just happened to be written about the same til o'god came out

even timmy would admit the songs were influence by norma jean before your dumbass would

Norma jean was definetly influenced by botch on o'god scottie even said it on their dvd
but i dont think it would have been as recognizable if cory's vocals didn't sound so close to botch's
and his scream sound like that back in eso-charis, before norma jean

I'm going to put it out in plain english now:

NORMA JEAN AND UNDEROATH ARE COMPLETE RIPOFFS OF BOTCH AND COALESCE. The two latter bands came along when NJ AND UO were being annoying teenagers, and did what they did better than any band has ever tried.

nope

underoath was influenced by norma jean who was influenced by botch and coalesce

which is what i've been saying from the beginning. minus needing to go all the way back to botch and coalesce cause nobody was talking about them in this thread, they were talking about norma jean sounding like underoath.

[DroppedUrPocket]

wow. What a goddamn moron.

[love_american_style]

I was talking about underoath.

oh....:headwall:

You do realize that UO had 2 albums out when NJ was still a nu-metal band right?

haha he definitely doesnt...we joked about it earlier to no response

[manball788]

yep i'm well aware underoath had a couple albums out before norma jean, which i would consider more chaotic then any nu-metal band
but it doesn't mean that the new underoath cd wasn't influenced a lot by o'god the aftermath

Luti-Kriss was definitely more nu-metally.

[manball788]

Luti-Kriss was definitely more nu-metally.
definitely agreed
but bless the martyr wasn't

[tonedefxno8]

ross robinson fucked up. but i guess i have to hear the rest of the album. maybe the should have stuck with matt bayles or adam d.

[PIG DESTROYER]

wow. that song was god awful. nice chorus that you repeated like 6 times guys. good work. and wow i thought the vocals were bad on the last one. wow.
sweet, another band bites the dust.

[EveryNewDay]

man, some of you guys are fucking ridiculous. you hear one song that YOU don't like or that sounds different than their previous work and you're ready to write them off completely. how about you make some records like Bless the Martyr and O' God and then you can talk shit.

[atomicgarden134]

I liked the other new song a little better. This isnt bad at all though. Ross robinson knows his shit dude. the sound sounds better than any other cd.
