Linkin Park - From Zero (November 15th, 2024) • Page 37

The band pulled a fast one with releasing Two-Faced on the day before the release to get some old school fans hyped lol

There’s nothing else like that track on the album. Whack.

 

Royel Otis felt like they were gaming the system by covering a song that was just popular less than a year ago. But their cover of “Linger” is nice.

 

IGYEIH is top tier

 

This reads really unhinged and paranoid. Murdering her dogs? Wth? Surely she has proof of these accusations?

 

yes she does, do you have google? you should use it

Mars Volta Singer Alleges Scientologists Killed His Dog Over Danny

 

@Kibbles Why wouldn't she be paranoid? She has emily and her cult after her, watch some documentaries on scientology and how they stalk the ones who oppose them. I'd be paranoid even talking about them online if there wasn't already so much public knowledge and at this point common sense that they do horrible things.

 

@irthesteve seeing actual photos gives me the creeps.

 

Hitting play, don't think I like Cut The Bridge. Similarity to Bleed It Out aside, the hook isn't doing it for me and the background chants sound corny in a radio rock way

 

Why does Stained's chorus sound like this

 

@Crisp X THANK YOU SO MUCH!!

first listen to it i was like "i know this part from some radio hit back in 2010" but i couldnt put my finger on it!
I was thinking mabel - dont call me up this whole time, but now i know what it was haha

 

Not huge on the production

 

Cut the Bridge…oof

 

Surprised so many people dislike Cut The Bridge. I'll agree it's maybe the weakest song on the album but I still find it quite enjoyable.

 

I wondered if something was just up with the rip I downloaded even though it was flac, but something did seem off. Had to turn it down because it didn't sound as good loud.

 

Overall, this album is a dud for me. I salvaged three songs from it. Shame.

 

I liked Casualty, Overflow and Good Things Go the most out of the album tracks. The former feels like a better executed Victimized, which always sounded underbaked to my ears. Mike is channeling Page Hamilton with his growlish vocals.

Overflow is probably my favorite due to the A Thousand Suns vibes. I'm not expecting them to come up with an album this left field at this point but I feel like there's still untapped potential. From a creative standpoint, that song could be a good sign of things to come.

Good Things Go is my second favorite. They've done many songs like this before but this one just sounds huge and contains Emily's best performance out of the entire album. Their best closer since The Little Things That Gives You Away, surely?

 

Which three, if I may ask?

 

1. Two Faced
2. IGYEIH
3. Good Things Go

The back half is definitely much better but overall I doubt I will listen to the full album again.

 

Yeah I don't expect to go back to much beyond Good Things Go, Stained, and Emptiness Machine. Definitely think a lot of these will be really fun live though. The four I've already seen sounded great

 

Outside of the emptiness machine, this album is incredibly meh.

 

“Casualty” is such a cool song, lol. Reminds me of the best of The Hunting Party in a way (which is a better way forward for heavy LP than cosplaying as their Hybrid Theory selves). Perfect song for Emily, and rad vocal approach from Mike.

 

Didn’t know what to expect - I did greatly enjoy my first listen through.

 

Yea, I don't know that I wouldn't have thought to single it out as a terrible song. It's fine. It could have been a lot better if the percussion changed up for the chorus. The beat just keeps hammering away, but the chorus could have more impact if they just made the it "bigger." The song only gets a breather during each pre-chorus (and the bridge too). Now I feel like I'm finding reasons to hate this song lol thanks everyone

 

Only ones that don't totally land with me are Cut the Bridge, Casualty, and Overflow.

 

Not for me, don’t see many of these songs lasting in the live set beyond this touring era.
