Remember TLH? Go woke, go broke, and put out shit. They will play one song off that record live just to save face. This one seems similar.

It is apparent that Myles has achieved the level of wealth (and rightfully earned) where he can join the "cool" crowd. I thought he was smarter. If he wanted to actually put truth in his music then he would write music about the manipulation of humanity by BIG TECH and how humans are suffering and giving their souls to for-profit media. That media who has one goal and that is to get people to CLICK. Its all low hanging fruit that pays the most. Pathetic. Im sure there will be a few good songs on the new record. These first couple singles are trash though. I don't see this band going much further. Creed is due for a record and tour. Thats 2 years at least. then Mark is gonna do his own thing. Brian and Scott will effectively retire after the last big Creed payday. Done.
I can't even :lol Did also you hear that Rage Against the Machine has become 'political' now?

On a counterpoint note. I just saw that the Silver Tongue video now has 385,000 views. That seems extremely good for just 3 days. It also seems to be a song that grows on you. I like it a bit more every time I hear it, which is usually a good sign of staying power.

Also, I just thought of one more thing that would have worked for me with Silver Tongue, if they brought back that fast-picked riff at the end with a full-time/half-time beat switch.

So let me get this right, you don’t want Myles to write about what he wants, you want him to just write about stuff that YOU think is important?

Not even sure where to begin with this but the sense of entitlement coming from your post is just crazy bad :facepalm

They could write a song about people's obsession with social media, and that playing into big tech's agenda. Maybe he'd like that. Until they'd reveal that it was inspired by Trump shit-posting on Twitter in the middle of the night while being president, and suddenly it would be woke TDS bullshit.

Myles kind of did that with Slash’s Call of the Wild, didn’t he?

Wasn't Sifting through the Fire had to do with information overload on the internet? This is nothing new for Myles.

Wait what's TDS? I'm assuming it's something silly given the unironic use of "woke" but googling is only showing me some kind of insurance policy, which doesn't seem relevant.
For all of the hope that it brings...

Trump Derangement System. It's something Trump fans use when he does something idiotic and people call him out for it.

Wow, lol. Cope harder my dude. Also, TDS doesn't exist, that's just something cultist snowflakes say to make themselves feel better when the truth hurts their little feelers.

Pretty sure he's singing about the Tenancy Deposit Scheme. Myles is very concerned about landlords not returning initial rental deposits in full. This guy must own rental properties.

So why ruin this thread and board with this political shit.
There are plenty other platforms for that.
Please do not bring that pro/con-Trump polarisation stuff over here.
