I'm always here for more OOR. I may just have to skip that Avril song because just reading her name makes me cringe.

i prefer their early stuff, but new OOR is always exciting but Avril Lavigne

[pingpongdream 34]

Nice! I hate the album art though lol

Argh this new song... if the singles so far are any indication of the direction of this album, you can already call this one their worst album so far

[doombox 4421]

I didn't like it much on first listen but I'm digging it now. 

[Kaleidoscope 195]

I really don't mind them taking a more pop-ish approach, but since their last album the soul seems to be gone completely. Both the production and how they play the songs just lacks any sort of passion I used to love these guys a lot, but this is just not for me anymore, no matter what genre they play. 

[freesia 714]

Well, they can't play a song with their old style if it's with Avril Lavigne.

On my side, I'm with some of you who don't dig this new song.

[Licio123 181]

I liked Taking off, but anything with Avril just turn me off. Damn

Nail in the coffin. The new song sounds horrible too.

I'm finally done with them.

It's so strange... they sound like a completely different band now. And it's hard to admit, but i'm kinda enjoying these new songs as well.

 

Btw, I'm not sure if it's an old info or not, but it seems like there will be 2 different editions of this album. The edition listed in the OP will be sold in Japan only. The worldwide edition will be relesed 2 days later (2017.1.13) and will have a semi-different tracklist and album cover:

the new song will definitely wont be my favorite (that was a little too boring)

but i think i will still enjoy the new album (out of minimal loyalty)

[mallefyksword 14]

Seriously ? Just 3 sentences in japanese and they call it a japanese version ? WTF 

[chemicalpictures 1888]

The classic case of "not the worst song in the world, but sure is forgettable as shit". This is true for this whole ambitions samples so far

[Deathtopi4 428]

Uhrgg. It's one of my biggest pet peeves when bands release different versions of the same album in different countries. Especially when the album isn't all that special.

[saishuu 3220]

RIP, never forget etc

Taka's facial expressions were more impressing than the song.
