Anyone else not a fan of the new ending/interlude on the album version of Gifted Every Strength?

Maybe this is an unpopular opinion, but I honestly preferred the original version without the added ending/interlude. The new section kind of sounds like a B-side from ILIIAITE to me and feels a little uninspired compared to how strong the actual song is.

It also feels really tacked on, like it was added afterward rather than feeling like a natural progression or payoff to the song itself. Every time I hear it, it just sounds a bit corny to me, idk. It kind of kills the vibe of the original ending.

That said, I guess we’ll see how it works in the context of the full album and how it transitions into the next track. Maybe it’ll make more sense there.

Curious if anyone else feels the same or if it’s grown on you.

As much as I love the Michael Lessard era of The Contortionist, Intrinsic is still my favorite release from them and Feedback Loop easily lands in my top 10 tracks of their catalog.

I’ve seen them live a bunch of times and somehow never caught this one, which is wild. Funny enough, the only video of this track I’ve been able to find is one with Mike on vocals and he absolutely crushes it! Does anyone know if there’s any other live footage of it out there besides this video? Seriously underrated track.
