Analysis and Explanation

Thought Contagion, as the second single to be released off Simulation Theory, was performed live for the first time in 2018 at the Paris Cigale "by-request" show. It was received surprisingly positively by the crowd, dedicated fans who had traveled for miles to hear the band perform a setlist filled with songs such as Eternally Missed and Space Dementia live. Long-time fans and new fans tend to agree that Thought Contagion is a welcome addition to the live repertoire, a notable contrast to the controversial Dig Down, released the year prior.

To no surprise, Thought Contagion was performed at every 2018 show, with the added bonus of the majority of the 2018 shows released online in pro-shot quality. It has continued to be played at every gig in 2019, becoming a live staple that will likely continue to appear in setlosts for a while to come.
