hahninator Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 Heavy has been released, featuring Kiiara. View the music video above. Lyrics: I don’t like my mind right now Stacking up problems that are so unnecessary Wish that I could slow things down I wanna let go but there’s comfort in the panic And I drive myself crazy Thinking everything's about me Yeah I drive myself crazy Cause I can’t escape the gravity I'm holding on Why is everything so heavy Holding on So much more than I can carry I keep dragging around what's bringing me down If I just let go, I'd be set free Holding on Why is everything so heavy You say that I'm paranoid But I’m pretty sure the world is out to get me It’s not like I make the choice To let my mind stay so fucking messy I know I'm not the center of the universe But you keep spinning round me just the same I know I'm not the center of the universe But you keep spinning round me just the same I'm holding on Why is everything so heavy Holding on So much more than I can carry I keep dragging around what's bringing me down If I just let go, I'd be set free Holding on Why is everything so heavy I know I'm not the center of the universe But you keep spinning round me just the same I know I'm not the center of the universe But you keep spinning round me just the same And I drive myself crazy Thinking everything’s about me I'm holding on Why is everything so heavy Holding on So much more than I can carry I keep dragging around what's bringing me down If I just let go, I'd be set free Holding on Why is everything so heavy What do you think about the song?

Red Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 Not sure how many of you actually like it or ale blinded fanboys who will like anything they put out. Sorry, it's crappy. I don't even walk to talk more about it, If the rest of the album sounds similarly, I hope they will only play a track or two (or maybe none) on the following tour. If not, I might as well just pass the Cracow gig and pick next SOAD show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedamian58c Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 I'm kinda dissappointed, but it's not bad. What disappoints me the most is how generic it sounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxHybridXeroxx Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 Good. But was hoping it'd be a little longer, I really don't like the intro that much, but by the end, the song sounds great. Kiiara's vocals REALLY surprised me. She sounded good. Overall score 4/5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LPFreak64 Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 (edited) Meh. It is a decent Pop song. I'm sure it'll get a good amount of radio play. The track length will get Radio Stations to eat it up. I'm not sure about Chester's shaky vocals. I know it is meant to add drama and levity to the track but it just makes his voice sound weak. That might be the point, but I'm not a fan at this moment. Kiiara was a nice addition and I like her parts.I do like how it starts by just launching into it with no real intro.

Geki Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 Hate the song. Hate the album title. Hate how expensive it is to be a fan now. Hate how Mike will he singing it all and probably less Chester. What a sad day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paree Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 Liked it. It sounds nothing like rock but according to Mike, genre is dead. Also imo even Welcome had a similar vibe (As it was originally produced for LP). I think the whole album is going to sound like Living things-2 (LT is my favorite album).

Jani Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 Chesters voice sounds so thin, if that makes any sense. Kiiara sounds great though and i like the chorus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
splitmyDNA Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 I think it's a bit odd out of context of the wider album - it'll hopefully flow more when it's surrounded by other music. I like it - it's different, sure, but it's good different. I'm glad they're trying something new. Why the fuck not? Kiiara is great, better than I thought she would be. Would have liked more harmony between her and Chester, but they're right. It still sounds like Linkin Park. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SFNL14 Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 I agree with others, Kiiara sounds better on this song. Really wish they had not taken this direction with this album, but its just one song so who knows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeardyWilderness Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 Hate the song. Hate the album title. Hate how expensive it is to be a fan now. Hate how Mike will he singing it all and probably less Chester. What a sad day. Hate how you're always a whining little baby. You haven't heard the album, you don't know how much Mike sings, nor Chester. Can't be THAT expensive to be a fan when you ONLY like Minutes to Midnight. Can pick that up pretty cheap now that it's 10 years old, take it with you back to your nostalgia-bubble and have your sad little day there. Personally, not thinking it's the best song. I'm sure it'll grow on me though. Not that sad of a day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedamian58c Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 I think the whole album is going to sound like Living things-2 (LT is my favorite album). Heavy doesn't remind me of any LP album, except for, I'm sorry to say this, Recharged. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

castro78 Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 This song is garbage. What a disappointing way to start things off. Chester sounds horrible in the opening verse...much better in the chorus. Kiiara sounds awesome...should have been her song. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
splitmyDNA Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 I honestly think this will be judged completely differently in the context of the album around it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJJ Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 Song is okay, however it doesn't have that LP vibe. Kiiara did a great job on her vocals. Dont know about Chester's vocals, his voice sounds really thin and weak, his voice has been getting 'rasp' for a longer time but its getting more thinner in my opinion. Really looking forward to the album however. I dont mind the 'pop', as long as the songs do have the LP vibe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biggiee2180@aol.com Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 Horrible. Just painful swift. Where to even begin... First off, the song is very boring. I'd compare it to In Between (sadly) for being a song that just starts and goes no where. Kiiara actually sounds great, but it feels like she takes over through the choruses and I just don't like it. I can handle when the band lays back on the heavy guitars and drums, cause some of their best songs have done that. This, unfortunately, just isn't one of them. This is purely a pop song, both on structure and all around cheesiness. I'm the last person to discourage LP exploring new sounds & boundaries, especially after loving ALL of their albums, but this single really dampers my expectations for the album. And another 10 track album? Seriously? They couldn't bang out a couple more? And are they gonna release half of them before the album even drops like they did with The Hunting Party? Ugh, I'm so bummed right now. Never thought I'd be one of those fans talking negatively about the band, but damn did this song just kill my mood and excitement for what's to come. I'll give it more listens obviously, but I'm not feeling optimistic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LPMaskMan Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 Worst shit I've ever heard from LP. I listened it twice. Never gonna listen again. Thinking about not seeing them live in june. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catalyst619 Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 (edited) Well, with everything going on and all the snippets I had a decent idea of what this song is going to sound like and I wasn't happy. Everyone saying wait until the song comes out to judge. Now it did, and I'm really disappointed. The instrumental is mixed way too low for my liking. The song basically has no intro at all and starts off so abruptly. Chester's voice is over-produced to shit and Kiiara absolutely outshines his vocals on this song. In fact, the only positive from this song is that Kiiara has more participation in this song than I thought, and I'm no Kiiara fan by any means. I just really, really dislike Chester's vocals on this. The worst part is, Mike said the rest of the album is going to sound like this. So the idea of "the lead single doesn't mean the rest of the album will sound like this" is now completely shattered. Oh, and it seems like the cherry on top of all of this is no US tour at the moment. Much respect to them trying new things but personally I'm just really bummed out.

LPExtremis23 Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 It's gotta grow on me. Love how it sounds and it's catchy, but that's all. Kiiara (although sounded great) somewhat took a good chunk of the song, which I thought blocked some moments Chester could've gotten in the song besides the parts he sings in. Overall, I gotta rate the song 3.5/5. Good start. Could've been better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leftshoe18 Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 Hate how you're always a whining little baby... I will totally agree that Geki is generally very negative but he's at least heard a song from the album now. He doesn't need to like this. As for myself I love it. It's something new for the band that further solidifies their impressive range. Kiarra sounds great on it and sings way more than I expected. The song has a similar vibe to Welcome by Fort Minor which is great for me as I love that song too. If this is the direction the album goes I think I'll be pretty happy with the results. I just wish we didn't have to wait until May to get the rest of it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
