I think you guys should leave that idea of the new album sounding like AB III, I'm pretty sure that the commentary of being the 'answer' to ABIII it's lyrically and not musically

Ok this is one of the coolest teasers they've ever done. So simple but so effective! I love how it just sounds like a jumbled mess of sound and yet there's still no hiding how distinctly AB this clip is.

Im hoping that this is just because of instagram compressing it to hell.. If it sounds anything like TLH in terms of production I will be pretty disappointed.

Edit: I do realize they purposefully jumbled the sound, but I really couldn't want anything more than for this album to just sound better than TLH.

Amen brother. I will be such a happy man if at the very least the album isn't a pain and a half to listen to sonically. Cause i always love almost everything they ever do musically

They literally said that this album will sound like the OPPOSITE of ABIII lol. Some people need to go back and re-read what Mark said.

He said this album is the Ying to that albums yang, in reference to it being the "answer" to ABIII. He said while ABIII was very dark lyrically, this is very uplifting and almost "zen" in comparison.

It ain't gonna sound like ABIII, y'all!

Sounds like there’s some harmonizing at the end? Or maybe that’s just the jumble.

I think it's safe to say (despite that it's not going to be a pristine sound if you reverse what's already a jumbled muddled teaser) that they are going to maintain going the heavy single as the first single. Fine with me.

I'm amazed that you were able to gather that information from such a low quality recording, you must have a lot of ear training

I hear "it feels like hell" at the very end.

We don’t know until we hear the album? It’s a bit of flippant comment to make when all we’ve heard of is a little snippet, I can only hear what my ears hear...you might find it does sound like it musically

Gah! Is it tomorrow yet?! Still hearing TLH vibes. Hoping it's just the muddy teaser quality...

What do we think Wouldn't You Rather will be about lyrically?? I feel that Walk The Sky stands for shooting for the stars and never stopping reaching for greatness. Perhaps Wouldn't You Rather is pertaining to a person who has given up their dreams and the single is telling them how much more they could be doing...?

The single is on ITunes in some parts of the world where it’s the 28 already. Can access with a VPN on your computer, And I can confirm that it is LOUD.

So... Wait a few hours and it may sneak over to the states...?
