I was not really big on Overflow but the live version changed my mind. Let's see how UFTB does live. Right now it's an alright song to me.

And yes, radio-friendly is good, but I don't want the band to make and release songs to be only radio-friendly.

Speaking of creativity and innovation in music, the modern rock and metal bands that were mostly influenced by LP in some way are killing it out there. LP wouldn't stand a chance if they can't come up with something fresh and exciting in the future, especially with their next album.

Give them time. They’ve been back not even for a year after  nearly a decade hiatus. I don’t think they want to compete with anyone.

 

Moreover at this point in their career, it’s incredible that they’re still doing this well. Let’s not forget how well FZ fare compared to them new bands. Not one of them can even get close to that level of success. 

In other words I’m just happy that we even get new music. They could have just called it quit after Chester passed and kept releasing unreleased stuff but we’ve been with new stuff after new stuff in only six months.

Well.. This is my comment so obviously this is my opinion 😆 

but thanks Sherlock

 

Indeed, just can't stand comments like "meh, this is X, they should do Y because Y is what I like". Things just don't work like that. But hey, it's opinion and it's okay.

This is the bangers era, not the weird stuff era.

 

Those craving weirder stuff will eventually get it, I guess, but there is a time for everything. A comeback was not it.

I personally can’t wait for the weird stuff lol, I kinda hope they do an official remix album or FZ bc that would give them some license to go for some interesting stuff short of an actual weird album

 

Knowing how much Mike writes and some patterns from their discography, you know there’s gotta be at least one or two weird tracks, a Mike-led song, a 6/8 or swing track, acoustic track and things like that in the vault from the FZ era

New Divide was part of a movie soundtrack.

i mean yeah but its not on any album by the band. the band did other songs for movies (such as Joe Hahn's mall) but that is the only song they still perfom live, going as far as being included on Paper cuts.

it had a purpose it was specifically created to be part of that soundtrack, it wasnt part of the singles trend

Tbf Up from the bottom most likely has a purpose too other than being a single. Looks like it's tied to the release of a FZ deluxe edition and not just a stand alone single.

I think the song is better than many of the songs on From Zero. Better than Emptiness Machine, Heavy is the crown, Over each other and Casualty.

I can totally see them releasing an acoustic ep of some FZ songs. It would work out great, just like TEM acoustic. I LOVE final masquerade acoustic, it sounds so damn good.  

[leftshoe18]

A deluxe edition with a b-side or two, some acoustic renditions, and some live tracks would be really cool.

in my opinion Over Each Other would've better if it was acoustic rather the One More Light production.

new single has a new sound, has some elements that does not fit with the FZ sound.

Maybe, but I heard a clear TEM style there.

Really? I feel like every song on From Zero is different from the others so I think that UFTB wouldn't feel out of place in the tracklist

yeah exactly, Casualty, Overflow and Two Faced alone are all so different, I don’t see how UFTB couldn’t fit in at all. Like yeah it’s fresh and not redundant with any tracks on the accompanying album, but almost every LP song on every album since ATS fits that description imo (incoming “all OML songs sound the same” rebuttal)

Guys overflow is a great track for sure one of the best on FZ but Linkin Park can't release songs like that as single. Singles are supposed to be catchy and radio-friendly, that's the point of a single for a mainstream band. 

The Catalyst exists lol. But yeah, aside from that, this is the comeback era so expecting a 6 minutes track with complexity was not the point

The catalyst has the perfect vibes for a single. It's not necessarily about lenght because they can always cut it down and make a radio edit. I agree that the catalyst is one of the most creative and daring singles LP ever released (anything out of ATS really) but it still is single material. Overflow is not that. 
PS tbf expecting complexity (even if is not very easy to define complexity) from Linkin Park is not the point in general

How is Overflow less a single material than Catalyst? It has a Travis Scott/ Twenty One Pilots vibe that sounds like it could have done very well on the chart. Tbh all songs on FZ sound like they could be singles.

100 percent agree. We're back to the HT/Meteora era where any track could have been a single.

It's about people expectations. People want Travis Scott from Travis Scott not from Linkin Park. I don't like that rule but I didn't make it

Exactly, Overflow is more "single material" than basically anything on ATS except for WFTE and Iridescent. It has that bouncy pop/alternative attitude

I think this is the right point. People expect something different from LP

[ScottiePippo]

There are 8 tracks on From Zero that are more popular than Overflow. That's not exactly screaming "single material"

How do you come to the conclusion that there are eight tracks on From Zero that are more popular than Overflow? I don't believe that. Overflow is very popular. For me, it's the third or fourth most popular track.

[leftshoe18]

Probably looking at streaming numbers. Popular doesn't mean personal favorite.

Spotify, youtube music, soundcloud...The last 3 are always IGYEIH, Overflow and Casualty. Maybe there's a case for Overflow being the 8th instead of the 9th, but overflow is like always the 9th with IGYEIH and Casualty being either 8th or 10th
