FUCK ALL HATE!

This sounds very similar to Silverchair The Greatest View. Maybe their parents had Diorama or something...
-
This song is awesome
-
Congratulations on the creation of a spine tingler.
The writing and execution of the lyrics are exceptional.
Loving the new synth sounds on the album.
Back to cutting edge "Universes" territory. See you at your next Hobart gig. -
The best work they have done yet. I wouldn't change the sound. it's refreshing.
-
Please don't tell me you believe in Chemtrails 😓
Love this album though!!!! -
The singer looks so hot in this video
-
ELEVEN. Top film John. Killer Movie.
-
NICE!
FUCK,
EVERYTHING
FAKE. YOU ARE FUCKED, YOU ARE FUCKED, YOU ARE FUCKED COME KILL ME, YOU ARE FUCKED. -
I love it that they've returned to their original sound like the stuff that was on Day One and Universes. Much more alternative rock and less like the alternative pop that was on Marchfires. I am really impressed with this album so far!!!
-
Gotta love the 'shape shifting lizards' part XD
-
Wasn't a massive fan before. But I fucking love this album.
-
pure sex :)
-
WOW Ian xoxo
-
Posers.
-
SO GOOD. Love your work, boys!
-
as if you could say there is anything wrong about this song... it invokes anger in me when I see certain clips but I get the idea of the lyrics... well done BoT

Are they arguing for the mainstream that is liberalism, progressive policies and enlarging government bc they are critiquing the establishment but then they portray the resurgence of populist national focused parties as the establishment but they are fighting as a reactionary group against the decay of left wing establishment policies.
