Black Country, New Road

Chaos Space Marine

I felt that Black Country, New Road’s debut didn’t see the band exploiting their full potential; sometimes holding back when they could go even grander.

If this single represents what their sophomore album is shaping up to sound like, this could be BCNR at their most musically daring yet, and closest to tapping into their full potential.

This is exactly what I wanted. I felt like FTFT was quite great but it often stayed in its own sound that I wasn’t as big on as others, harming its replay value for me as time goes on. But this new single SCHLAPS and is quite different from their other stuff. Good shit.

Waking up to this is the best thing I could ask for

This song isn’t my favorite bcnr song ever, but it’s very very good, and it shows that they are going with a different sort of sound. It makes me extremely excited to see what’s coming

More theatrical than usual, but a total banger nonetheless and successfully progresses past their debut albums sound
