Xyloband_99 Posted April 10, 2024 Share Posted April 10, 2024 I really like The Race. I was wishing band to release it when we first hear it in ahfod movie. Several versions leaked afterwards. Early version sounds great but it's just a demo. GS and Ahfod versions are good especially the "This heart is a volcano" parts but they don't sound quite right to me. Chorus doesn't feel decent( I mean "I won't fall" part). Newest version is the most closer one to be a proper release. But i feel like it lost the dark mood of The Race. If band released that one i would be happy. But it still has that demo vibe (probably because it's not mastered). We first heard whatever it takes part and we were very impressed by the song. After hearing rest of the song i can understand why band didn't release it. Especially after hearing EL version of Wedding Bells. Wedding Bells was a great demo but EL version is an amazing song in every way. It sounds upgraded like 3 levels. I think The Race needs the same upgrade to be a masterpiece. Why i called masterpiece? Because song has that potential. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnymax8652 Posted April 10, 2024 Share Posted April 10, 2024 I'm lost with all The Races versions, I'm not sure I heard all of them.Β The last I heard had a different chorus (not the Kaleidoscope one) and I didn't like it that much. Last part "whatever it takes..." was great though.Β Wedding Bells was single material imo, together with FOP (2018 version) and Spanish Rain. It's hard to believe they just scrapped them without thinking of a proper release one day. Frankly I don't care that much of Moon Music right now, I'd prefer we got these songs released instead. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the band is struggling with the chorus they changed it with each versionΒ 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonan Posted April 10, 2024 Share Posted April 10, 2024 (edited) Hopefully The Race gets released one day, with the "Whatever it takes" part. I don't like the versions that don't have it, I don't think the song is as good without it. Edited April 11, 2024 by Jonan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lennyrott1 Posted April 11, 2024 Share Posted April 11, 2024 The Race has been such an obsession in the fan base that I worry nobody is gonna be completley satisfied with given the number of leaks over the years.Β Unpopularly, I don't really like the song leaks so far. It's a weird mix of genres, the lyrics are borderline nonsensical and while there's a lot of great individual musical ideas, I think each one would be better in a different song. My personal opinion is the parts of the song that have a disco-tinge "I'm on fire," the string section and the Mary Clayton feature could get updated into an cool new song.Β Β Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Galal Posted April 11, 2024 Share Posted April 11, 2024 With the latest news from Their Art work Designer, saying that she's working on the art work of LP11, are we going to get the musical sooner than expected or is it going to be "Coldplay"?

Woah what did she say? I've been thinking that MM has been pushed back so much so that there isn't such a big gap for the musical, I still think we're at least 2 years away from that though. Though hopefully LP11/the musical will be easier to gage when it's coming out, it's harder to hide a movies release date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That could be the musical and it can be self titled album, i feel they might not release the movie with the album maybe they will release them separately. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe, I reckon the album would come out with the movie though, at least a short while after at worst. I really hope they don't do "Coldplay" before it though, it would be a weird flow if they did. Surely some leakers must know something about the movie, it can't be easy to keep a whole movie being made underwraps. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully the delay of Moon Music bought them time to have a progress on the movie i think musically it's almost done most of these MOTS era were written during the pandemic.

gustavothehuman Posted April 11, 2024 Share Posted April 11, 2024 Chris mentioned that the writers strike affected the film, so I think they are still on that phase. Besides, there are more shows for 2025. We're only getting film stuff in 2026 and that is the most optimistic scenario. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Famous Old Painter Posted April 12, 2024 Share Posted April 12, 2024 It's possible the soundtrack for MOTS3 is done, they're just waiting on the actual film production to wrap up. At least, I hope so. Otherwise we'll be waiting a long time.Β On another note, I hope MM has some nice ambient pieces. Those were some of the highlights of MOTS.Β 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Galal Posted April 12, 2024 Share Posted April 12, 2024 I don't see why is it a problem that they didn't finish the album yet? They have 5 months before the release they just need the singles to be 100% done the rest can still be reworked..not drastically obviously. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
