It was fairly straightforward to leap on the PRESIDENT bandwagon with their first track, “In The Title Of The Father,” inside the first 30 seconds as a result of layered complexity of percussive synthesizers and distorted vocals earlier than a crashing, guitar-filled refrain.
“Fearless,” swung with the identical depth, however did have half a degree docked for the automated kids screaming, ‘fearless!’ within the pre-chorus. The monitor ripped and roared although, and may very well be a favorite – particularly with the chugging outro – however “In The Title Of The Father” felt prefer it carved out the nameless bands’ ethos with a bit extra element.
Now, the most recent single “RAGE,” could be taken one among two methods. Sure, it will possibly match within the realm that PRESIDENT is starting to arrange for themselves. However, it can be taken as a little bit of a muddled mess of synthesizers that do not fairly sing in the identical manner because the lead single.
And that may typically be the issue with releasing your strongest single at the start of the cycle.
