Wicked Nature

Where's it from? Looks sweet, reminds me of Highly Evolved. Although, the font they keep using for the titles looks soooo Microsoft Paint so kinda hoping its a single!

If you look at the facebook page, the cover photo, profile pic, apps etc. they're all black/white/grey. My best bet is that the album cover will go off of that colour scheme & that this is just artwork for another single.

I feel as if this is supposed to be like a 'sequel' to the garden that's on 'Highly Evolved', if you brush past all the bush at the front & this is what you'd see.

Found it on Instagram, can't find other source for it.

If Wicked Nature is also a new single, I hope that they release it soon, because I can't wait for the next album   
But have you guys noticed, that there was no Accesspass Update on Pledgemusic since the 10th of July???
I wonder what's the reason for that, because I tought that they would release a song preview every two weeks.

 

Anybody know why they changed the 'E's to look like 'L's in The Vines?  

At least they're posting photos still.

So the tracklist has been leaked onto a Spanish site, although it's been said the artwork was first found on Amazon.

I'd like to know the answer to this question too! I think it looks really dumb!

I reckon the Metal Zone art is badass... even though it looks like it was drawn by a 16 years old... A Bong, Skateboard and a Skull - you can't go wrong!

I hope we get more behind the scenes photos/videos of this.

That track is hella tight, loving it.

Kind of a drainer that there'll be no 6 minute epic on here, but them last 2 tracks on disc 1 are 4 minutes long, hoping they'll be the neo-psych ballad epic kinda shiz Craig does best

It's probably gunna be the next single so I hope so. And I don't know if this is allowed on the forum, but anyone who wants to hear Green Utopia can find it here: http://vk.com/the_vines (you can't download it there so I'm guessing it's ok!)

There are just six tracks over the 2:30 minute mark. A bit disappointing. He wrote 22 new songs, he definitely still has it. Just wish he could carry the songs past the three minute mark. It is that extra 30 seconds that differentiates Craig from the rest.

Anyway Green utopia is a solid track but still not getting anything special.

That being said, the song length and sound looks like it can be commercially viable. There are a lot of people sick and tired of lil wayne and would love the vines.

I hope this album brings The Vines back on top

From an update on PledgeMusic.

PledgeMusic update: released 'Darkest Shadow' & has bit of Craig commentary about the track.

If this is anything to go by, they're going to have the same problem with critics like they've had since Winning Days. Everyone's just middle ground, very few have strong opinion as to whether it's a great album or it's shit. Seeing as there's the idea that there'll be less touring & more recording, Craig should just write a shitload and have whatever producer or himself pick out the gems from that bunch, & hopefully it'll be an album that has no corners cut off.

This is true but unfortunately I don't think he always knows which songs are gem (Eg: Black Dragon was on Future Primitive and not Vacant Video, which is a much more interesting song)!

On a side note, has anyone realised the goal on their PledgeMusic site keeps going way up despite there being no new pledges? Today it went from 63% to 75%, but there was 597 pledgers both times. I guess pledgers still get their pre-orders regardless of whether if it reaches the goal or not right?

I saw the post they made on facebook saying they reached 75%, and I commented asking how could the campaign get such a jump in such a short amount of time, and the status was deleted afterwards.

Parker + Mr French in foul play on crowd-funding??????

That's really weird, but maybe somebody bought something expensive like the lyrics. Now they have 603 pledgers...
Well to be honest I don't really care as long as I get my album on 2. September
