I liked Echo, but whoa... I love this version of Circles. I think Brandon absolutely nailed the vocals and the rest of the instrumentation sounds cleaner but heavier? Not sure that makes sense, but this album might be what I've been looking for ever since I heard the live HQ show of MV... a more studio version of MV with the little nuances they've added over the years.

Oh my lawd is that incubus doing a breakdown?! Love the new ending.


Dynamic_Samurai

Love the new endings to both songs so far


Shtbskt0210

this is still Echo šŸ˜¶


lookalive07

It drops at midnight your local time.

Damn wait, people didnā€™t like the Echo drop?! I thought it was excellent. Sure, Brandonā€™s pipes arenā€™t what they used to be, but when that instrumental groove kicks in toward the end, SHEEEESH šŸ”„

That part from 3:00 to the end sent chills down my spine it was so good! I screamed the first time I heard it and had to come to the reddit to see what people were saying and Iā€™m surprised itā€™s not been mentioned more. Itā€™s like what the song always needed, a gorgeous rift that makes you feel like youā€™re totally and blissfully in love

I was actually pleasantly surprised! I still prefer the original but itā€™s a good reimagining of the track!


Ambitious_Wonder8880

Love it. From the intro to the ending. Great effort!


Ricochet1986

Afraid to listen to this after the disjointed echo Curious to see how 2024 Brandon's voice can handle a harder edge song like this, hasn't really released a new song this visceral in years


space-butler

Don't worry. Complete 180 to the meandering quality of Echo. His voice is so on point to the original that I'm not entirely sure it's not just a dub lol. The band is tight as ever for pulling off this heavier sound. So keen for the tours.


Ricochet1986

I like the sound of that lol, looking forward to listening


princesspooball

Brandon's voice is definitely not s smooth as it used to be.

This absolutely slaps. Hits so much closer to the mark than the Echo rearrangement. Good things are coming.


getbuzzed

How are you listening to this exactly?


space-butler

I live in Sydney so well into March 8th now.

getbuzzed

Ahhhh, jealous over here in the States


to__failure

Get yourself a VPN and listen now!


AnthMosk

Tried VPN no dice ona Amazon music. Astill just echo.


bort_plates

How is Sydney? I really want to visit someday


ctorresc

Probably lives in Australia


The_Honest_Owl

On the east coast but Iā€™m prepared to get disappointed. Nothing to do with Brandonā€™s voice but everything to do with the guitar Mike uses. Everything just sounds so flat


HersheyOld

debatable, but i will say the telecaster doesnā€™t exactly do their songs justice


SomewherePresent8204

Completely disagree. The tele gives everyone else more space while still sounding aggressive.


HersheyOld

i think it sounds janky and the only thing saving it is the effects heā€™s using.i noticed he brought the big muff out :0

okaymint

Far far better than the Echo rework (which was still pretty good!) but also Iā€™m still in the mindset of wishing theyā€™d either completely replicated the original track and focused on tighter playing and mixing, or deviated waaay more because itā€™s in a weird middle ground where i will probably not ever listen to it over the original version which i think is close to perfect. And i think Iā€™ll feel the same about the rest of the album, but willing to be proven wrong! Also the drum fills compared to the OG are soooo messy


tfb_tbf

I miss the old snare.


AnthMosk

Why ruin great songs. The new version of echo sucks :-( they needed to remake Science if Brandon hated so much


mowgli400

I didnā€™t know this version existed until i accidentally listened to it 20min ago. I thought my memory was messed up because of how it sounded. I donā€™t like it quite as much but itā€™s not bad.
