I wish they'd hit the #1 spot in the UK chart, but seeing as BMTH is a British band, that probably won't happen

The song is currently #1 on US iTunes chart, #2 on UK. Do you mean the rock charts? I thought you meant overall chart. They're in the top 40 overall so fingers crossed the video will push it. They're doing great considering they're not really promoting. And I'm guessing over time, the more they release the more momentum they'll pick up and new fans too.

^Yeh wow... I thought I wrote Rock chart. sorry, edited. It'll climb. WOY did pretty well but this hits harder. I'm a bit annoyed they haven't properly uploaded the song on their YT channel. And also what's happened to their Vevo? Don't they own that anymore?

The song grew on me now that it's been officially released and with Amy explaining the song's message. It definitely evokes some TOD vibes with the backing vocals, but also some Ev3 vibes too. If anyone's looking for the official lyrics, they're up to EvReference: evanescencereference.info/wiki/index.php?title=The_Game_is_Over but whoever is producing/mixing needs to... not do that anymore. What a great way to put it lol Idk what it is about the mixing, but it doesn't sound as crisp as their first 3 albums But my overall thoughts: -The song is very Ev3-both in sound and lyrical theme and style
-Kind of reminds me of Sick, Made of Stone, and The Change???
-The lyrics are standard Evanescence-I'd say 2011-present Ev has a more straight forward lyrical style, while Fallen and TOD were more poetic
-The drums and Amy's vocals sound great
-I love the heavy bangers with Amy belting
-There's a bit of a 90s grunge/alt rock vibe here
-Definitely better than Wasted on You. I can't wait to hear the next one (and the next batch with a different vibe!!)I agree that her lyrics have been more straightforward since Ev3 because she's not hiding in metaphors anymore like on Fallen or TOD. Idk why Nick's production/mixing is always louder and that annoys me a bit. I'd like to enjoy the song instead of having a headache. Haha.

Can anyone just flat out not understand what Amy's saying during the bridge lmao
I have trouble understanding/processing stuff by ear even if it's clear, but I just wanted to know if anyone else had this issue

^ Lyrics:
"The Game Is Over"
Had enough I’ve really had enough Had enough of denial I’m not alright but I’m not gonna lie I don’t know that I ever was
all alone I’ve waited all alone Held it in as I played by your rules I’ve been biting my lip but I’m losing my grip I’m coming down down down
When all the hate burns off I’m left here with the pain Behind our vain devices are we all the same
Change me into something I believe in Change me so I don’t have to pretend
Take a breath and try to play along but I’m a terrible liar I feel the world like a brick on my chest and the party’s just begun
Throw the rope I’m wading Through the mud From your mouth flow a thousand truths But you know there’s only one
When all the hate burns off I’m left here with the pain
Change me into something I believe in Change me so I don’t have to pretend Sweet words they mean nothing they’re not true cause the game is over
I want it all or I want nothing at all maybe I can change me into something I believe in Change me so I don’t have to pretend Your sweet words they mean nothing save your breath The game is over

My friend and I were joking that she's had too much influence from Ariana Grande and is gonna start mumble metal.

Has anyone else seen the preview to the MV? How do we feel about another homemade video? I thought it was going to be animated judging by the thumbnail on they’re YouTube.

ok, I'd like to revise my previous statement. I like it on these speakers now. And even sounds a good balance. I'll have to listen again with the lyrics now.
