I think it's more closely related to their 2015 Kinetic Noise show, which is in my top 3 all time DCI shows. I've either been in the audience for or performed in drum corps since 1977, so that's sayiing a lot.

I love the show, that ending just feels off, i assume its not the final version but it felt very sudden

Bluecoats are always so conflicting for me. Overall, they're my favorite group. At the beginning of each season I'm not crazy about their shows, sometimes not even at the end of the season do I like their shows. But then after several listens, they always become my favorite of the season. I have no idea what type of voodoo they are doing, but keep doing it. That said, I'm digging the vibe of the show. It's such an odd feeling, and distinctly different from basically any other show. Parts of it can definitely be better though, but the closer is absolutely my favorite moment of the season so far - it's flat out awesome and I love it. So you go, KFC Crusaders! Go get 'em!

like last year I had no idea wtf they were doing. I saw them again at semis and me and my mom both didnt realize it was the same show. I really hope they can take over devs but they got stairs so well see.

I love the foreshadowing of the closer’s melody in the background at 6:03 Such a freaking amazing detail that you don’t realize until you watch multiple times

has some really neat moments so far aside from feeling a little disjointed structurally, the accelerando front ensemble run synced with the drumline and that bassline feature towards the end were the highlights for me. excited to see how the show develops over the summer

Some really great stuff in there. Drill on top of the prop is pretty cool. Im presuming the ending will change over the summer. It honestly sounds like a lot of noise. But some cool licks in there. We will see.

i was personally lucky enough to see this live and every good part of the show on the recording is SOOOOO much better in person, this show is absolutely electric and i can absolutely see it beating BD this year, but thats a little personal bias as my dads a bloo alum

I was curious about that. The synth really seems to dominate this audio (and left me feeling like they needed to do more with the instruments for the sounds). However, I always have to remember that the recorded audio is often VERY different from the live sound. As others have said, we'll see how it sounds in August at finals, because I'll be there! :)

this show introduced so much interesting music to me! unis are growing on me. Seems like an incredibly difficult arrangement. Also, I finally got my wish for a no-narration show :) . As usual, it will rely on how clean they can get in terms of where they end up placing. But that hasn't mattered to me for years now. (BD's shows just aren't for me. Not every bloo show is either. But at least I find them interesting.)

that's how I felt about Crown's show last year. Having listened to the repertoire for a month or so for this show, I could pick out so much that was recognizable. I don't personally get everyone's fascination with Agape, but they still did a beautiful rendition.

The costumes are heinous, just a bit less heinous than last year’s pajamas.

Gotta let the show grow on me, I think. I do want more playing from the brass. Right now it just feels like there isn't enough brass outside of the big hits. Bluecoats have been my favorite corps since 2014 but like... I dunno, it's a bit "off" to me
