NORMA JEAN WANT YOU TO TAKE IT ALL

Gary Suarez says that the new Norma Jean album, Meridional, “will ruin your life it’s so good,” and while I haven’t heard the album yet, I hope he’s right. I’d love it if the new Norma Jean album were awesome.

Of course, I’d also love it if Cristina Scabbia was sitting naked on my lap right now. We don’t always get what we want.

So. Norma Jean have released “Deathbed Atheist,” a new song from the aforementioned Meridional, and while I think it’s pretty good – and certainly much better than “Leaders and Self Enlisted,” the other already-released new song from the album – it’s not gonna ruin my life. Fuck, it’s not even gonna find its way onto my iPod.

Still, I’m… encouraged? I dunno. Maybe that’s too strong a word. I haven’t written this record off yet, let’s put it that way.

You can download “Deathbed Atheist” right now if you pre-order Meridional, or you can listen to it below. The album comes out July 13.
