Upon first listen I wasn't impressed but I love AVA so I gave it a second try... Love it. Maybe intro is a little too long but after hearing it a few times I wouldn't change it one bit. Great song.

hated i. tom knows he cant sing worth shit anymore

I kinda dig it.

Love it if Tom gives the other members more influence

I agree with the intro being VERY long, but other than that, the song itself wasn't bad. I was expecting more lyrics though. Over all, I'm not hating it.

First of all, all of you, learn to appreciate a song...second of all, whats bad about a long intro? you guys are to fucking impatient and short minded to appreciate and take the time to let a song build up? if it's that bad, dont listen to it or comment on it? Tom delonge, song after song has put a magical touch on everything, and as this song went on, and he came in singing, my heart dropped and i was amazed, he never ceases to amaze me, it is out of this world and my mind, he has the mind of a god

also, love the new drummer, atom was great and i thought he was unreplacable, but this guy has a good style and i like that hes young

maybe it's time to stop...

Also your post-rock friends would love this!

yeah exactly-I actually find it interesting, and I like post rock instrumentals, what's wrong with that and why time to stop? ..if you guys don't like then maybe it's time just for you to stop listening, I personally wouldn't change that intro, and I'm sure that piece is nothing surprising after previous releases.

Very beginning felt like AVA does Sigur Ros, and I really loved it. Queue the drums and I'm stoked for the new(ish?) drummer they have (dunno if they released stuff with him before this, haven't been religious with keeping up with them). But I immediately felt anxious about how Tom's vocals might make it a little too sing songy. I like Ava, but I couldn't tell you which song is from which album from the past 3 albums which doesn't say much for growth. But then he comes in, and it's smooth. Not soaring autotune, not sing songy "Ohh eyy ohh"s. It's this atmospheric and distorted layer on top of what they've built up. IMO this was a smart song for AVA. Not wildly different. But definitely showed some self control, which is necessary for their future I think.

Fin.

This song should be like 2 minutes long. But considering it's not actually meant to be a "song" that doesn't matter.

big fan of AVA

not a fan of this rediculously long intro but enjoyed the song

distinct resemblance to Trent Reznor:
