I've given it some thought, and I'm still unsure.
I like the vocal sound, and I like the way the tone of the voice during the verse seems quite aggressive even though it is a calmer sound, and when the tone shifts in the chorus, although there is more strength behind the delivery, this feels far more fragile, it's weird, I'm used to it being the other way round, especially with Trent related projects. This - I like, but I am struggling with this vocal over this music, it just isn't doing it for me right now, maybe it will one day, but for now I'm afraid I'm not enjoying this experience.
The video, I like the parts that are in motion and I like the pyrotechnics, the close cropping I do not like, its like bad story boarding. I feel like I am beyond that nowadays, and I know it hasn't been made for me, but I think despite this being a new project, the experience of the people involved is perhaps beyond that too. It's a bit undergraduate, I want post grad and I want it done well, this is in there in moments, the wider shots are incredibly beautiful, but at times it feels like being spoon fed a plot, and because of this gains no value with further viewings. I don't know what I mean when I am saying this next part, but it just feels dated before it's even begun, and that is what | am afraid of with this band, it's not fresh enough, yes it's a new "band" and intriguing but is that enough, for me at this time, the answer is no, I'm sorry. I think great things will come though, given time and faith.
