The minute or so clip sounds fantastic, though I wish they'd announce a new record with a full single at least.

Seriously, only releasing that minute-long clip is loving torture. Song sounds great, release the whole thing now you bastards. :argh:

Also, seeing them perform Highly Refined Pirates in its entirety was just about the greatest thing.

That concert was amazing, saw them when they were in Houston. Not sure if they followed the same format as everywhere else, but ending with Pachuca Sunrise was loving beautiful.

And I'm definitely of the opinion that Omni grows on you in time, and I honestly think Fooled by the Night is one of the best songs they've ever done.

Listen to Lonely Gun from Minus the Bear right now!

It's certainly different from Omni, but I'm going to need to fester on this for a while.


I don't hate it.

Why the hell didn't they just put out the song in that album teaser? I mean this is just...really mediocre. :(

I really like the album on first listen. They just have an enjoyable sound that just makes me feel good. Lies and Eyes, Toska, and Heaven is a Ghost Town are early favorites. Just now listening to Cold Company and really digging this, too. Not their best work, but certainly not bad at all. Like I said, their overall sound is enjoyable, even if I don't love certain tracks. Can't wait to have an actual copy of this and listen over good speakers.


I'm enjoying the hell out of it, on a third listen now. Definitely an improvement over Omni which was really hit or miss.

I think they should have opened the album with Lies and Eyes rather than Steel and Blood though, that's just me though.

Music video for Minus The Bear's "Listing"

Honestly felt like this was one of the weakest songs on the album so my reaction is pretty eh.

It's not a bad song I guess, it's just really loving boring.

That's exactly how I feel. Hell even something like Toska or Lies and Eyes would have been better to promote, kind of reminds me of when they did a video for My Time where I had the same kind of response.

"Really? You're picking that song? Over the others?" :psyduck:

(Omni isn't great, but I always felt the latter half has some good poo poo on it)

We performed one of the new songs we've been working on during our live Nervous Energies session a couple weeks ago.

It's ok, I guess.
