First impression - I like this song a lot. Probably more than UA.
Specific thoughts -
Love the heavy riffing in the intro, I also love that MM basically plays the riff with three different grooves. That is something MP did a lot (change the feel while the band repeats a riff) and I miss it at times from MM era DT. The intro is MM doing this very well, good to hear.
The "teaser" riff that comes in at about 33 seconds into the song sounds way cooler in context. JP's guitar tone is really, really nice here. JM's bass tone is also strong and present.
I like the snare build up into the verse. James' vocals sound better here than UA, less effects for sure. The verse melody is okay, nothing great, but solid.
I like the choruses, definitely took a few listens, but I'm cool with them. The piano in the choruses is really nice. JR's sounds on the first two tracks from this album are really good.
The staccato section that builds into the chill section is pretty cool too, once again good sounds from JR.
The middle section is beautiful, the transition into it is a little weird, but once we get into it, all is forgiven. I like MM's fill to enter that section around 2:40. Simple, but nice. The guitar melody line that comes in there is a prime example of why JP is underrated in terms of his emotion and melodic sense as a guitarist, beautiful stuff.
The build back into the keys solo sounds a little weird, like they just were trying to put a keys solo there, the solo itself is fine though. Once again, sounds like a legit organ (which I think JR used) - good sounds from him.
The thrown in riff at 6:15ish makes me laugh, so good, so short.
Outro shredding is fun.
Overall, I really like this song. Down to the palm mutes at the end. The drums sound good here, probably the best studio sound MM has got with DT. JP's guitar sounds better than ever. JM has a good cutting tone and sits in the mix pretty well in this one. Like I mentioned several times, JR's sounds are really good as well. Something about the vocal mix is still weird, too layered or something. James' performance is really good, the vocal production has something going on I don't like, not sure what it is.
I'm definitely looking forward to this album!
