  • I respect your right to an opinion, but I think you're off your nut bro. THA is one of the few bands with a nearly impeccable ratio of good songs vs. shit. this song is amazing.

  • why make a video of it if its a poor effort? o.O

    great song btw

  • I think people would like this album a lot more if the guitar tone didn't sound worse than guitar pro 5

  • I think people woud like this album a lot more if the guitars sounded like guitars and not bad midi

  • @Jo3M i love midi

  • @freeradicals I dont...

  • This is one of their best songs, In my opinion.

  • i think this is a really great band, love all their songs, my opinion

  • THA BTBAM PTH DEP all amazing!

  • Are you f****** kidding me? This song is great! Midhaven and nocturne were awesome, and I can't wait till there new album comes out. Aj's back!

  • actually nothing tops mea culpa and vela ;) i love the technical playing though... somehow the vocals dont fit...

  • Got to agree with riffmerchant333 on this one, THA had something great going with Nocturne, ever since their new album they've been seriously off the ball, very talented and very technical but not as enjoyable to listen to i have to admit.

  • how dare you? nothing interesting? did you not hear the song? the style and technicallity of their music is entrancing. maybe the untrained ear doesn't hear the sheer talent and love for stepping outside the box that is mainstream, that every member of that band has for the music they play. THA takes it back to theory, every time, without fail. love the music that you dis, because all i see is a hater standing in the shadow.

  • Nocturne had strong songs, but as an album; it really wasn't that technical or amazing. It was the same chromatic runs and the same sweeping played over and over. If anything, AJ leaving was for the better. They are playing what they want to play, and for me that's good enough. Yeah, he doesn't scream as much, but he's such a good singer. If you don't agree, well then, that's just like your opinion man.

  • this song is great i dont know what ur on pal

  • Tapley is a good guitar player. but every body knows that aj was so much better. hah, this release is nothing compared to nocturne

  • i really miss AJ

  • If its such a poor effort, then why post it?

  • A POOR effort? Yeah, I'd LOVE to hear Emmure try to do this. You're a winner for sure.

  • agreed.... and i'm guessing pth sux too..

  • excuse me?

  • from 1:27 - 1:38  1:51 - 2:12

    best singing/drum/guitar combo

    and from 5:16 - 6:30

    its just too beautiful for words to describe

    THA has an insane amount of talent

  • my only complaint with this album is the sustained notes that are slightly out of tune and lack of vibrato by the guitarist

  • No doubt AJ's departure had a big effect on fans but I still think they are a really good band.

    a lot of things that changed from Nocturne to Midheaven.

    Nocturne was HxC.

    Midheaven is still HxC but in a less thrash/metal way.

    A Violent Strike is easily my 3rd fav. song of theirs. but it's one of like 4 good songs on Midheaven.

    I like the new progressive metal THA has done in Midheaven, but many fans were left disappointed when it was heard it was completely different from Nocturne.

  • People are ignorant and can't stand change. While AJ is an amazing guitar player, Tapely is just as good. I can see just as many heavy songs with tapely. Their is just gonna be more prog and less neo classical.

  • Really? You think Tapely is even on the same level of playing that AJ is on, Tapely is mindless his parts have no feeling. Atleast Aj's runs and and solos had feeling.

  • I see just as much feeling in tapely as in aj.

  • Tapely maybe has the same level of technique, but he can't write music like A.J did....

  • True...but A.J. wrote stuff differently than tapely.

  • ......... wrote better stuff......

  • Not really. I like them both equally.

  • i think the main difference is just the style. If Tapely was writing music for THA back in Nocturne, i think it would sound a lot like AJ. I still like AJ's guitar work a lot better, but i think it just might be the style of the album

  • True. They did say they were going to totally change the style of midhaven, so maybe its just the album.

  • That would be true but Tapley wasn't indited until after Nocturne was released and THA were already writing Midheaven. Most of the score was done by either Dean(guitarist), Sean(pianist) and/or Nathan(vocalist).

  • As a musician, I must disagree. AJ didn't invent some magical new style of playing. He's only amazing cause he sweeps, and is doing the same shit Rush and Dream Theater did before him. I'm not saying he's bad, but fuck, it doesn't take long to learn how to sweep, and playing and reversing the same arpeggios is not difficult.

  • I'm also a guitarist, and I confirm what you said about sweeping, I even have a video of me sweeping on my youtube page (lol bad advertising). What I meant in my comment was that AJ wrote pretty creative sweeps that blended neo classical aspects into metal, that's why everyone likes AJ so much. Tapley has some pretty fast riffs, and even sweeps too, but it just sounds different and more dull than AJ. The ability to make these techniques actually sound more musical and less robotic belonds to AJ.

  • pretty good

    I like it

  • dir en grey is pretty much garbage. and nocturne is way better than this album

  • i like nocturne, just got it, one complaint is that the album starts out so brutal in the first 3 tracks then his screaming is non-existent throughout the rest of the album. its still a good album, i love the blend of classical guitar and metal

  • was*

  • @Emmure06 I strongly disagree with you. ^.^

  • super epic LOL at the fact you say "poor effort from THA" and you're named after Emmure.

  • I think it was another video where I said that when I made an account, I just picked w/e band was playing at the time. I agree, Emmure really sucks now. I don't know who's worse through, THA or Emmure.

  • wow. poor effort? why dont you put up some of your own music then? i'd love to hear it.

  • Who said I made music? I can't post my opinion of a song on the internet?

  • Dude, im with you.

    I really am disappointed by this new album. Maybe if it wasnt the Human Abstract that made it i would think differently.

    Just not the same band i heard on Nocturne, which was amazing.

  • ya...sorry bout that. :P

    i got defensive all the sudden..lol anyway, sorry.

  • @Emmure06 Your oppinion is a "poor effort"

  • if you are bad mouthing it then why did you post it?

    it's strange without their old guitarist, but i still like this track

    it would of been interesting to see what the old guitarist might of done for this track

    i also heard they got a keyboardist thats suppose to be good but i can barely hear it

    anyways, i how he sings "I watched as a spiral took shape across the sky, it was like a call from the other side, and there I cried, out of control and paralyzed, as everything I once was died."

  • I get views which means I get money.

  • HA! Nice.

  • I think they are missing a bunch of breakdowns that they had in their last album.

    But even though they don't have the same energy, I still like this song and procession of the fates.

  • You were a poor effort when your parents made you.

  • yeah your gay if you think this song sucks

  • i havent heard nocturne but i think this and potf is pretty good.

  • Oh man. New human abstract just isn't the same. It's missing so many elements that Nocturne had.

  • I really like it, but it just doesn't match up to Nocturne.

  • Ah true. The music lacking in talent..

    The Human Abstract, even live, is such an amazing, talented band.

    His voice, the guitar. Everything in it is incredible!

  • This is like Faith No More, Finch, and Protest rolled in one. I personally enjoy it very much.

  • Another poor effort? WTF are you on?!?! :S

    This song is Amazing in every way!

  • dude this guys screenname is emmure06

    of course hes not gonna like it unless its breakdowns and cheap screamo all the way through

  • i def dig it.

  • Sounds like they can't decide whether they're trying to be Malmsteem-style "neoclassical" wank or gameboy-sounding Dragonforce wank.

  • They're trying to be the Human Abstract

  • yeah!!!!!!!!! RIGHT ON MAN

  • DUMB ASS

  • haha!!so true!!! and they were my favorite band up to now... i already miss nocturnes style

  • idk about their new album...their first one was just amazing..this one..idk...

  • wow emmure 06 definately a great song. how in the hell is this a poor attempt? i just dont see it.

  • fuckin love this song

    wayyy better than the others

  • nothings gonna be better than nocturne so people stop expecting it to me. that was like the greatest album ever made. and i like there new stuff, but you cant replace aj

  • i would like it, but the guitar sounds really weird

    like thin...i blame the producer...

  • their improving their musicality without A.J thats saying alot. Very Good song and a revolutionary band in general.

  • After hearing 3 or 4 songs off the new album live. I must say that i really looking forward to 'Midheaven'. This song rules live!

  • great song.

    great albun.

    great band.

    really cool dudes.

  • you guys are crazy.

    first time i heard it i loved it.

    not so much for procession of the fates,

    but that song really grew onto me.

    idk,

    i just like the technicality of it.

  • I have to agree with Kevstew on this one. The two new songs didn't cut it for me. But it's only two songs. I won't judge the album based off of them. However, I'm hoping there'll be something in it that truly sets them apart, especially now that (based off of the two songs)they dropped the neoclassical sound. I mean, they have their own unique sound now... but not in the sense Nocturne was. Anyway, I'm not going to blindly like a band, so if the album doesn't cut it for me, then no big deal.

  • quit hatin'

  • The first time I heard this song I was not a big fan. The more I listen to it though, the more I like it. Now I REALLY like it, it IS good, i'm just not used to the new stuff. I think it is even better the bloodmeat by Protest.

  • The "better than Bloodmeat" comment really made me want to cry.

  • agreed

  • bloodmeat is one of the more boring songs on fortress. I have to be honest. In terms of musicality, it may be the simplest on the album. It's a great opener, and don't get me wrong, but in no way the best on the album. The other songs are just that amazing.

    But with that said, Bloodmeat is a stunningly amazing song.

    This song will be much better once we hear some actual quality in the recording.

  • Right on.

  • Bloodmeat is still a relatively difficult song instrumentally, just not for Protest. But its more the composition of the song that (in my opinion) makes it a bit better than this. The song has a flow to it, and a feel. This song is random. I do like this song a lot, but it drags itself on. I still can't wait to get the CD to hear the actual quality.

  • definitely not better than bloodmeat. protest doesn't suck. they have continued to improve without sounding like emo + fag guitar wankery.

  • Ok now your pushing it, comparing this song to bloodmeat is like comparing pennies to quarters.......no comparison here. I'm not rippin on the band, love the band and all the work they've done, as far as this song goes, can't really say i enjoy it, but i might need to listen to it a few more times.

  • i actually think its a pretty cool song

  • I like this one a lot more than Procession Of Fates. The guitars sound much better.

  • I don't know after I listen to it more it seems better, still not as good as nocturne thus far.

  • I like the chorus along with the shredding

  • The guitars sound terrible, A. Because the Solo's suck B. Whatever Amp and effects (or lack there of) they used. And He isn't even singing or screaming in the beginning he just talks fast.

  • if you don't like it keep it to yourself.

  • If someone doesn't like it, they have every right to post their opinion.

  • if you dont like this song, you arent a fan of THA. good, gets rid of immature kids that were a fan of the band:)

  • this guy is totally right. who in the hell is expecting another rehash of nocturne? not true THA fans, that's for sure. as somebody above said it ever-so-crudely, go suck on aj's balls if you want more. nocturne was a masterpiece, but as THA fans, we must mature along with the music. otherwise, you just become another tool thinking that 'neoclassical' is the way to go.

  • Fuckin' A.

  • right on man

  • "we must mature along with the music."

    What are we robots? We're not perfect and mature the exact same as others. We all mature differently, but all im saying so far it's not surpassing expectations. It's great music, but it doesn't meet my expectations considering how awesome nocturne was.

  • you're right, but what exactly are you expecting? nocturne was pretty much written by aj, and with him out of the picture, any efforts to write something that "surpasses" nocturne would by bleak. this is, instead, in a new more defined direction, in my opinion.

  • that was me! :-p hah, ya srsly ppl should just own up and stop thinking so critically and open your mind

  • Im extremely open minded, but more to creativity. This music sounds more mainstream, and sounds like what you would expect from a different band.

    Without a.j. this band lost their abililty so far to create a unique sound.

    I like it, but i was thinking of a different direction for maturity. A whole new progression like between the buried and me's colors. Something new and unbelievable. But thats exactly what im not feeling, something unbelievable. It's just good metalcore music at the moment

  • ...Umm, this song is pretty creative. Not to mention that this song is not mainstream at all (the other song I can hear being mainstream).

  • it is creative, but it's not new. I find this stuff much more mainstream then their other stuff especially procession of the fates.

    I forgot to mention this song is pretty sweet though

  • Well, unless you have heard the whole album you don't know what to expect and shouldn't judge based on two songs.

    And I big to differ (although I see where you're coming from), this song sounds somewhat new considering it's different feel (the change from soft to loud, the keyboard, that... "oriental" guitar sound by Tapley I guess, etc.).

  • Im not judging the album, im judging the two songs which have nothing on old THA. I have heard the trailer and the studio journal clips, im still crossing my fingers.

    And im not talking abotu new for THA, im talking about new in general. Im saying judging from the two songs i can walk all over this album if its all like this cause its not unique.

  • ... I never said you were judging the album.

  • suck my dick cunt slaughterer I fucking recorded WITH the human abstract and took the most medicore shit!

  • i heard toby wright was fired and they finished the record with a different producer, you dont know what your talking about

  • pls dont feed the trolls... they only get bigger ego's.. :-p srsly what an idiot. go start a facebook group called i suck aj's balls!

  • I wish AJ would come back, then they'd actually put a decent album together.

  • Have you listened to the new album yet?

  • This is so awesome

  • That song gave me a headache! WTF happened to the human abstract that I oh so loved. The singing/screaming was bearable in Nocturne, but this is just shit, plain and simple

  • how is this shit? i thinks its alot more interesting than nocturne.

  • well maybe not but i think this album will be better

  • this is fuckin awsome what are you talking about

  • Its official. New The Human Abstract just doesn't have the "feel" anymore. Their new songs are so...plain....and monotonous.

  • I have a feeling that AJ was the only guy in the band who had a great knowledge of music theory. I'll still love their new stuff, however.

  • i agree 1000000000000000000% with that comment hellashes.

  • theres just something wrong about this that i just cant pinpoint.
