Honestly I’m thinking that the band had a genius single selection process. You have TEM which has that classic LP sound and is a perfect introduction to the new lineup HITC is a straight up nu metal style LP banger, to me it feels like a weird mix of Given Up and Faint. OEO is a straight up LP pop song, very different than what we’re accustomed to but it’s still really good, I love Emily’s performance on this so much for some reason. I actually think her scream is great I like it a lot, but her melodic singing is in my opinion where she really shines. All in all, I’d say probably: TEM 100/100 HITC 80/100 OEO 90/100 Really solid to great music they’re putting out so far, excited for the album (especially to hear Casualty and Good Things Go - those are my two most anticipated songs from the record, the former because of how the band talked about it and it being really heavy and the latter because of the lyrics I saw and it being one of the earlier post Chester demos).

mikeatron85 Posted October 28 Share Posted October 28 Me too. TEM is still my favourite of the three, but OEO was completely different to what I was expecting. I love it and prefer it to HITC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KeysToTheLinkinPark Posted October 28 Share Posted October 28 Just now, thor3 said: are we expecting another song as well? i hope they don't perform or debut anymore songs to be honest. We can at least expect one more song (OEO obviously). Some of the members talked about 2-3 or 1-2 more songs. They named like 80% of the record they wanna play live. I'm curious how they wanna pull that off without extending the setlist to 2,5 hours or cutting "must-haves" in the setlist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juancpin Posted October 28 Share Posted October 28 I think they'll be rotating classics as they put 'From Zero' tracks there. I guess they'll put the ones they mentioned: TEM HIT OEO Overflow Casualty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soeffingnaive92 Posted October 28 Share Posted October 28 I see them cutting some pre Emily deep cuts to insert FZ songs, but not the classics TBH. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juancpin Posted October 28 Share Posted October 28 Yep, we'll see what gets in and what out. Waiting eagerly for the album, and the next show in Paris. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah so far the live shows have been exciting and the 3 songs are all pretty good, I mean I am not big on OEO but it's not LGM or Good Goodbye, which I don't hate but they are kinda cringy and have some objectively bad things (the dubstep base and cringy lyrics of LGM and Stormzy on GG). So like we are at a 2,5/3 songs that i like so far Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love all the songs you mentioned but it's true that: 1) Emily doesn't sound that great on The Catalyst 2) FF is good but I always had the feeling that it should remain a sort of "Chester final song" giving closure to his era 3) one of the solos could be dropped, would not complain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Kubo Posted October 28 Share Posted October 28 Now I like OEO more, so: TEM: 9.0/10 HITC: 8.0/10 OEO: 8.0/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qwerty18 Posted October 28 Share Posted October 28 (edited) Since when has LP been promoting an album with songs that are mostly seen as "good" or "great"? ATS, right? Good feelings about "From Zero", good feelings. Edited October 28 by Qwerty18 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good feelings about "From Zero", good feelings. Yep. ATS. Catalyst and Wretches were great picks at the time and still great picks in 2024 looking back at ATS. MTM was legendary with WID, NMS, and GU at the live shows before the album dropped. But for pre-release songs, ATS takes the cake until this album. Catalyst at the time was a bit polarizing (amazing song) but aged extremely well like the rest of the album did. Emptiness Machine was MASSIVE and is universally loved. They did extremely well with the new album in this sense by getting these 3 specific songs out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TEM Is amazing, HITC is pure nu metal LP and OEO is fresh and catchy as hell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
