BLACK METAL!!!!

[rincon]

Like most here I heard this song on Monday. It was clearly nothing I expected. I listened about 3 times. I never like to OD on new music, it distorts my perceptions too much. I read the mostly rave review, folks here who had listened to it 20 or more times, and raved about it. I went about 36 hours without listening to it, so it stirred around my subconscious. I just finished listened to the whole thing again. ..................I think the rave reviews are on target. I have went through a similar process with Circuital.

Uhhhhg this is killing me.  I want to listen so bad. 

MUST
HEAR

ALBUM

It took a couple of listens but this tune has definitely grown on me.  Gotta say thanks for singles/teasers but I have to hear the entire album!  I'm really psyched to hear how these songs connect...

[AlwxanderD10]

I honestly think i may be addicted to this song. i have not listened to any other music since this came out and pretty sure I've listened to it about 30 times, i just cant get it outta my head....  :o

Burned it to CD last night, listened all day at work.  Then on the way home saw a friend driving next to me.  Ejected the disc and slung it in his passenger window while we were moving down the road.  ;D. I love sharing my love for mmj.  He has since preordered the vinyl.

[Rizzo]

Don't jump down my throat for this, but I'm not liking it.  It doesn't sound like MMJ to me.  It suuuuper produced.  From that discription of it being like superfly etc. I was excited, but now I am disapointed.

Agreed - Like Circuital don't care for Black Metal still love MMJ. Hated Highly Suspicious first time I heard but love it live. I'm hoping the rest of the album is more like Circuital. I'm hoping they released this early to create some buzz and gage reaction. If the rest of the album is like Black Metal I will be really disappointed. MMJ does not need to recreate themselves. Just keep turning out the classic tunes we all love.

we did slow to about 35mph,  I was in my work truck and he was in his S4.  Glad I didn't have to explain it to the police.  Although they probably would have just confiscated the disc and let me go, haha

Just gave Black Metal a listen through excellent headphones and was blown away.  What a brave, original tune.  Yeah, I said it!  ORIGINAL!  Who else would do this?  Its an excellent tune coming from any band because its balsy and shows a love of music, pure and simple.  Love the vocal work, wonder who the kids were, and the Wings-like intermission (Jet anyone?).  I will be real interesting to see how they pull this off live, but they do a fine job with Wordless Chorus, so I'm sure they'll impress us on stage.  What a great listen.

From the official Record Store Day facebook page:

Record Store Day
Coming May 17: participating stores will have a CD single from My Morning Jacket with just a little bit more: the new single, "Holdin On To Black Metal" but also exclusive track "Butch Cassidy" recorded live at Terminal 5, and a $2 coupon for Circuital when it comes out.

[The DARK]

Is anyone else seriously hoping we get a video in time? There's no way it wouldn't blow our minds.

[ms. yvon]

i heard this twice on the radio today and it has been in my head since.  :)

[Kenny76]

LOVE this freaky freak freakin song!  It makes me want to dance in my backyard in the middle of the night.  It's already accomplished that once.  Not that my neighbors haven't seen me dance in my front yard in the middle of the day.

[walterfredo]

This song will completely destroy it live!
