I think the lyrics don't actually matter that much to me. I really like what I do understand, and the rest, I let the emotion of the song take over. I fell in love with them when they were only singing German and I didn't understand what they were saying then, either, but the music and the emotion in Bill's voice (whichever song he'd be singing) just worked for me, made me feel. I'm a huge fan of Nirvana and Pearl Jam, and some of their lyrics are quite difficult to understand, but it's the same sort of thing. I don't have to know what they're saying to feel their hurt.

The only thing I guess that bothers me about not being able to understand the lyrics is that it makes it that much more difficult for them to get any possible airtime/following on the radio. If Aliens are scratching their heads, non-fans will too, and I fear they won't stick around for a second/third/whatever listen to figure it out.

Same, but at least this isn't intended to be a single (I hope not?). Nope that would be their song about cybersex lmao

Hahaha I saw the rumblings of that on twitter, but didn't dare go there at work. xD

lol xDD I'm very curious, for sure

1) tbh Ariana Grande is charting worldwide and her mumbling is even worse than Bill's.

2) pretty sure the first two videos we will get, are just buzz singles released to create buzz/interest around the band. Which is also why the first two videos will be more low key in production. The third video will be the actual first single that they will perform around tv shows and do promo with.

Yeah, I can't make out but two words of "Problem."

1) mte. That's why I would feel bad criticizing Bill here. I mean, he's not even a native English speaker so...

2) I think they're going down that road too.

Same, same, same.

It's nice that people here can have a discussion that's not all positive without sounding like butthurt children. Some of the comments on YT are so bitter that I can't even begin to understand where they're coming from. And if these are fans from before Humanoid, you'd think they'd have learned that TH isn't going to conform to their expectations.

Mte on all points. Fans who have been around forever and are still surprised that they continue to evolve, or that Bill continues to express himself in the same, unique way, baffle me. Why would you want them to go back to their 'Zimmer' sound when most of that music was written for them and they had basically no part in producing? I can understand not liking their new sound but how can you not at least appreciate all the work they put into it.

Also that's why I love Apex the best, because everyone here is willing to have a conversation and the format makes it easier. At the end of the day we all just love TH <3

I would have every respect for a fan who would just say straight out, "hey, we've waited for this for so long and I'm just not feeling it anymore, so I'm gonna bail." (Hopefully after hearing the whole album a few times) But sticking around to whine about how you don't like them or where they're going, or worse yet, being MIA for the majority of 4 years then coming back to bag on the band, I have no respect for that.

I really hope all the fans enjoy the new album, but if they don't, I hope they have the grace to go find something they do like and leave us to our happy place. :)

I think there's an older faction of fans on LJ, so maybe that helps. Though haha, not always, I know. ;)
