Reactions to Nothing but Thieves' "More Panic 2" EP
Background on the EP
The "More Panic 2" EP is the highly anticipated follow-up to Nothing but Thieves' original "Moral Panic" album. Due to the pandemic, the band had to release the album a year ago without the opportunity to go on tour. In the meantime, they treated fans with this EP, which seems to have a strong focus on the live experience.
Blind reactions to the music
Going into the reactions for this EP, I have to admit that I'm pretty much going in blind. I've only heard a snippet of "If I Were You" on my phone, and the rest of the tracks on the EP are completely new to me. So, you'll be witnessing my genuine first impressions as we dive into this musical journey together.
Expectations for "If I Were You"
Based on the little snippet I heard and the heaviness I stumbled upon in the course of scrolling through Instagram, "If I Were You" seems to be a track with great potential. The engineering and sound quality in previous Nothing but Thieves' songs have always been top-notch, and I expect nothing less from this one. So, let's dive in and find out!
Analysis of "If I Were You"
Sound engineering and production
Wow, the sound scope in "If I Were You" is just unreal. The engineering and production behind this track are impressive. The bass kicks in with a powerful presence, and the overall sound quality is top-notch. It's clear that the band put a lot of effort into creating a sonic experience that would captivate the listeners.
Comparison to other songs on the EP
While "If I Were You" falls into the category of slightly generic heavy rock, the excellent engineering and production make up for it. It may not be the standout track on the EP, but it definitely has its unique qualities. Comparing it to the previous reactions we've done for tracks like "Miracle Baby" and "Future Proof," it might not necessarily be the best song, but it's still enjoyable and shows potential to be a favorite when performed live.
Potential for a live performance
This song screams "live performance" all the way. It's evident that Nothing but Thieves crafted "If I Were You" with the intention of hyping up a crowd and creating a great time at their concerts. The head-banging riffs and the overall simplicity of the track make it perfect for a live setting. From personal experience, I can say that Nothing but Thieves' songs always sound way better live, and I can already imagine the energy this track would bring to their shows.
Rating and review
Considering all the elements of "If I Were You," I initially wanted to give it a solid 7.5 out of 10. However, the ending section of the song showcased its potential to be an absolute banger when performed live, which bumped up my rating to an 8. The song may not top tracks like "Future Proof," but it definitely holds its own and leaves me curious about what else this EP has to offer.
Conclusion
