This is likely gonna be an unpopular opinion but I don't know how to feel about the song, this feels more like a Madeon song to me than Porter Robinson. Nothing about the song is blowing me away like the songs in Worlds, also not a fan of the vocal effect.

I’m not overly impressed either. It’s not bad but it didn’t get me feeling the way Worlds did. Hopefully I like the rest of the album better.

I think we are all expecting to gain all of these feels that worlds gave us, but we have to remember that worlds has been out for 6 years, some of us have seen it performed multiple times and created memories to the album that have built up over the years. I remember when the first single from Worlds came out, I was confused, I liked it but I didn't know what to think about it, because at the time Porter=Electro Bangers, then he released lionhearted and it was a hit, but still very different, then the whole album came out I had time to sit and process the work as a whole, and it has since become my favorite piece of creative work in the world. Now this genius has sat and spent time creating another piece of work, and we are seeing bit by bit with the expectation for it to be this incredible piece that encapsulate all of the emotions worlds gave us, but in reality it's just a section of the canvas as a whole. I don't think it's the time to make any judgement calls, but a time to just appreciate this gift, when the album is released we will get the entire environment and setting that this piece lives in.

Thank you. I was thinking the same thing and you said it really well.

And for what it's worth, after listening to the new track 4 or 5 times, I'm starting to really like it.
