So Enter Shikari have just released their first single since February, and if i'm honest i think it's a right cracker. Lovin' the whole mixing of Take to the skies and Common dreads. Anyway enough of my babble; whatcha think?

I love ES, but I'm not a huge huge fan of this. The breakdown is pretty sweet, but I can't say I'm to fond of his vocals. Having said that, I said the exact same thing when Common Dreads came out, and I love that album now. I am sort of bored of them singing about how ****** the country/world is and all this stuff though

Yeah, I agree. Their songs were over-political in Common Dreads. I've listened to the song a few more times now and I'm not 100% sure about it now. I don't like the beginning and I think Rou's vocals aren't as strong as we know they can be. I still like it though.

Well I think it's just like a separate single release, so it may not necessarily be what a new album will sound like, but yeah. His screams used to be funny bad, now they're just annoying

I don't really understand why they're sticking with this political ********, I like the music because it's mental and their gigs are ******* insane. Somehow, I don't think an ES gig these days would have the same atmosphere as the Take to the Skies era?

I don't like it, too rocky for my liking.

I gotta agree, although I am a fan of having lyrics with meanings, i just think sometimes the political emphasis can get over the top and annoying, i wish they'd do more songs that are more about having fun and stuff, like Hectic. Tbh though i'm personally thinking this is in my top 5 shikari songs.

i miss Take to the Skies Enter Shikari. That's the album i can listen to the whole way through without disliking any songs, and I loved how they all flowed into one another.

Common Dreads was too light, too political, annoying, and just not the Enter Shikari I loved.

Even their old B-sides are amazing, like The Feast, Frozen Landscape, and best of all Acid Nation.

I really liked common dreads, fanfare for the... was SUPERB.

Second this, Fanfare is an amazing track.

The Jester sounds rubbish at first but is amazing when you get into it.

Acid Nation will always be my favourite ES song. I love it so much. I agree with everything here, although I do love Common Dreads, TTTS was perfect imo

Oh mate I'm so glad someone else said this haha. I thouht the exact same thing but didn't wanna say :D Even the beginning vocals reminded me of Hadouken!
