"Big shot screaming put your hands in the sky..." love it

[SLADE775]

for some odd reason i'm excited about this.

[youareallfreaks]

this is different.

the beats are interesting.


holy shit, 2:44 is tight.

[DroppedUrPocket]

:( purevolume and the computer I use at work hate eachother.

[blaubs21]

this EP is really freakin odd....but REALLY fucking good. not what i was expecting at all, but it's really good.

[Scenestorm]

Wow, what a great song. I'm looking forward to this release.

[Make Out Kid]

Wow this song is REALLY good. Now im really looking forward to the this Ep. The ed of this song makes me want to clap along.

Yousendit? anyone?

[Greg]

[countingstars]

[InaCarUndrwater]

definently different, but definently amazing

[straylighthaste]

i'm excited for SR all over again.

[WeDreamOfDays]

The EP is so random. There are typical straylight songs, then the branch out to Big shot and even a quasi-alt-country song. It's awesome. I love this.

[AdamTheBomb21]

This is like the Family Guy movie...not what anyone expects but loves it better then anything else. Good times

[DroppedUrPocket]

The Family Guy movie was a huge letdown.

[IcedOpethBlind]

whoa. so different. this should be nice.

[Killforgrace]

where can i get this as a download?... and where can i hear more of the ep... so unexpected so good

[straythumb]

at first i liked this song, but after a couple listens i've really gotten into it. this ep is gonna be great.

[youareallfreaks]

The Family Guy movie was a huge letdown.

boooooooooo! you're lucky you're a member of AP cheers.

[DroppedUrPocket]

boooooooooo! you're lucky you're a member of AP cheers.
I will fight you!

[aminorthreat55]

For some reason this song really bores me. I don't know why though.

[JustAn0th3rFace]

Amazing

[SLADE775]

This is like the Family Guy movie...not what anyone expects but loves it better then anything else. Good times

i cant wait for the FG movie!!!!!! So awesome....

The Family Guy movie was a huge letdown.

Seems that I'm the only person left that waits untill release dates. :shake:

For some reason this song really bores me. I don't know why though.

I wont be able to hear it until I get home, but John's voice bores me most of the time.

Their debut put me to sleep.

[Spicoli hey bud]

I'm watching the family movie tonight...


again

[infamous_alias]

Their debut put me to sleep.

That could be a good thing.....if you wanted to sleep.

On a related note, it didn't even sound like this song had guitars at all. Just piano and synths.

[SLADE775]

Do you guys just downlosd everything on kazaa and limewire?



No one is patient anymore.

[DroppedUrPocket]

Being patient sucks. :(

i like laguna beach

[Make Out Kid]

i like laguna beach

Laguna beach is, in my oppinion, one of the worst shows ever created.

[bigal00004]

Wow, this is an amazing and powerful song. I love it the part that starts about 3:00 in is awesome

[SLADE775]

i like laguna beach
you would

hahahaha I bet you masturbate to thoughts of kristin and LC going at it. :blah:

Where? What? who? I thought you were gone forever, it's good to see you!!

saintjoel = legend

[saintjoel]

you would

hahahaha I bet you masturbate to thoughts of kristin and LC going at it.



you wouldnt?

haha im seriously facebook friends with three people from that show, im a total addict

monday night is my trash night of tv, i watch LB then sweet sixteen, then switch over to watch the very end of WWE Raw and then i watch the Ultimate Fighter, since im obsessed with that now too.

by the way anyone wanna send me this ep?

[yourcodenameis:]

This song = legend.

[bbelair]

I love this song, and pretty much the entire ep.

[SLADE775]

I don't watch anything but family guy, south park and other comedy central shows.

I hate mtv with a passion. But you keep on truckin my friend. :thumbsup:

[Ruggiero2oo8]

:wow: :wow:

[irthesteve]

For some reason this song really bores me. I don't know why though.
i love the debut, but this really isnt that amazing to my ears... its ok, but it isnt really that great

[Throwback]

Its a great song but I wish his voice would just go raw and not have effects on it. Still awesome though but I want raw Nolan.

[eagle1]

I listened to this song and got bored rather quickly.
Listened to it 4 times over and over and came to the conclusion that I don't like it!
Although I like their LP, this song I don't like much.

[waggy]

big shot's not bad. definitely the best track on the ep, but i don't like the rest of the ep at all. for me straylight's been in a downward slide ever since the (phenomenal) online demos from summer 2003.

[saintjoel]

I don't watch anything but family guy, south park and other comedy central shows.

I hate mtv with a passion. But you keep on truckin my friend. :thumbsup:

yeah i dont like mtv very much either, but the sad thing is that a can watch just about anything on the channel without much of a struggle.


South Park is amazing, Trey Parker is a god, and Season 6 comes out on DVD in 3 weeks i think. im stoked

[GAD_guy]

ep is way better than the full-length. WAY better.

and i agree that the family guy movie is a huge dissapointment. i lauged less in an hour and a half than i do when i watch a single season 1 or 2 episode.

[AdamTheBomb21]

Do you guys just downlosd everything on kazaa and limewire?



No one is patient anymore.
The people in the dorm next to mine where watching it, so I had to. So its just being at the right play at the right time

[SLADE775]

South Park makes me giddy.

[Take Heart]

Am I the only person that thinks that from around 2:44 on it sounds EXACTLY like Nine Inch Nails?
Voice, music, everything.

Not that that's a bad thing

[SLADE775]

The people in the dorm next to mine where watching it, so I had to. So its just being at the right play at the right time

understandable.

It's just getting irritating. Soon enough, release dates won't exist.

[Thomas Sway]

I really want to hear this EP. This one song is great. I'm excited about the EP now.

And fuck. There are some HOT people on laguna beach. I coudn't handle watching that shit for more than 15 minutes, but there are some beautiful fucking women on there.

[End is Forever]

I'm liking this so, ive only listened to it twice though and the first time it was just background music because I was in a conversation but I really like what I hear. My favorite part so far is the middle of it right around the 2:48 mark.

[ishotthepilot]

this EP is really freakin odd....but REALLY fucking good. not what i was expecting at all, but it's really good.

well, they did call it 'prepare to be wrong', i am really liking this song. i think maybe the "piano pop rock" thing was a pigeonhole they didnt necessarily deserve, this is just very.. different.

Am I the only person that thinks that from around 2:44 on it sounds EXACTLY like Nine Inch Nails?
Voice, music, everything.

Not that that's a bad thing

yup. exactly.

Its a great song but I wish his voice would just go raw and not have effects on it. Still awesome though but I want raw Nolan.

what about the 2:44/3:00 minute part everyone's talking about? that's way raw.

[Drew Beringer]

Great song.

[AdamTheBomb21]

understandable.

It's just getting irritating. Soon enough, release dates won't exist.
Armor For Sleep did a great job of not having their cd leaked. But there was enough buzz behind it so many people wanted it the day it came out

[bbelair]

big shot's not bad. definitely the best track on the ep, but i don't like the rest of the ep at all. for me straylight's been in a downward slide ever since the (phenomenal) online demos from summer 2003.
Dude the ep is awesome, Big Shot is very good, plus Later That Year is an awesome song, AND It Never Gets Easier is another great song. I defiently think these songs are as good if not better than the first songs they put out, and much better than the rest of the material on their debut album.

I think john compared some parts of the new ep to nine inch nails and bjork. So I guess your not alone. Great song gets me pumped for the ep.

[OveriseFan]

I disagree...

it has the best MOMENT on the EP, but as a song it's kind of...

I don't know.

I love Straylight Run, they are one of my favorite bands, and if Later that Year wasn't political, I would say that is the song that could(and should) define Straylight.

But...

this whole EP is amazing and if you liked the demos, you'll love the EP and if you liked the album you'll love this EP

The new version of Costello is amazing too.

[timmysavedlatin]

i couldn't really get into the full length even though i was in looove with the demos, but this song is really going in a way i think i'll love again.

[dashboard1190]

amazing.

[boekebong]

I love this song. A lot. I don't have the 2003 demos, for some reason I never listened to them, would someone who has them be a great person and send them to me? ;)

[Cato11087]

the last 5 songs are really good.
i dont want this anymore, its alright...the only parts i enjoyed were the parts john comes in sort of screaming...

all in all, its great.

[DroppedUrPocket]

I love this song. A lot. I don't have the 2003 demos, for some reason I never listened to them, would someone who has them be a great person and send them to me? ;)

OH MY GOD

Those are like the best demos ever.

Then the full length took a dump all over everything.

I think you can get them from their site...maybe...

[theacademyis]

this song LIVE is fucking insane.


and if youre looking for a more raw sound for john's voice, this ep definitely has it. and if youre not feeling the synth whatever sound of hands in the sky, you probably won't like the rest of it.

[SardonicOwnsMe]

This song live IS fucking insane.
The benefit show was grrrreeaaattt.

[kg00d]

Amazing song, great EP.

[xxtheformat]

i've had the EP for a week, and i listen to that song at least ten times a day 'cause it's so fun.

[mediocrgreenday]

sadly the only good song on the ep.. and im not too crazy about the song.. only really like the fact that john is screaming/yelling again.

this song LIVE is fucking insane.

i think the synth is cool tho.. and yes the rawness is back.. and im happy about that.. this song does show promise for their next lp tho.

[etwiels]

Much better than any song I heard on the full length.

[Robb]

I didn't like it at first, but it's growing on me a lot. The earlier part has a bit of a God Lives Underwater feel to it.

[StartingLine182]

I love the part when he starts screaming. Different for sure but Im liking it alot.

[druck]

i love when he just goes all out and yells. great track.

[Talib Scottie]

It reminds me of Nine Inch Nails' chiller songs.

It's oddly contagious, makes you want to scream with him

[airguitar1982]

this is probably the best straylight run song i've heard by them. i didn't like their full length too much.

[boekebong]

OH MY GOD

Those are like the best demos ever.

Then the full length took a dump all over everything.

I think you can get them from their site...maybe...

No, I can't. And I checked their message board for like an hour. Basically I don't want to dl file sharing software because I will be tempted to download album leaks and I won't have to buy them, which I think is unethical. Soo..if you have them and want to be really nice you could IM them to me. Thanks. :thumbsup:

[PEGS]

This whole EP is fantastic...I'm in love with Hands In the Sky right now, and so too should you :thumbsup:

This song, and Slow Descent are fantastic!

[Vil de Locke]

Reminds me a lot of the smashing pumpkins, with a better voice.. Agree with that, anyone?

[DroppedUrPocket]

No, I can't. And I checked their message board for like an hour. Basically I don't want to dl file sharing software because I will be tempted to download album leaks and I won't have to buy them, which I think is unethical. Soo..if you have them and want to be really nice you could IM them to me. Thanks. :thumbsup:

I actually don't have them anymore. :( They should have stayed downloadable forever. Sooo good.

[carkey395]

check your pms

[Talib Scottie]

If you don't have the Stray demos I can send them to you later tonight.

[duffe]

I like it.
