I wanted to like it. I tried! I really wanted to like it! But underwhelming is the most generous word I can say after a few listens.

I think it's great, but I admit that I am a fanboy.

How did this end up being so underwhelming... even the sound is very generic, about 0 passion in the riffs.

It's not bad, but nothing special either. Typical run-of-the-mill King Diamond. The other new song he played live, Electro-Therapy, was better.

Yeah sure, this song is awfully bland and all, but is no one going to talk about the video with the baby-faced King Diamond look-alike and the seemingly older King Diamond version? Or have I been too invested in the Dark series on Netflix?

The main question is: What's taking this album so damn long to come out? The covid excuse has expired. The bs lockdowns stopped over 2 years ago.

I know. It's taking a lot longer than Chinese Democracy obviously, but fuck it, I'd rather hear some new King or Mercyful music than anything "new" from GN'R.

Definitely agree with that, but you'd think after all these years of not releasing any new material that when a band does finally do so, it would be spectacular and without any filler. People can complain about Wintersun taking forever to complete albums (and rightfully so), for example, but at least when they do, the albums are pretty damn fantastic.

I find it to be a pretty decent song, more so after so many years of absence. Not expecting anything spectacular from the new album, but at least something it's worth the listen.

Yeah, I felt that way as well. It's really good that he's still putting music after all this years. It's like a filler album song.
