I found it a bit generic. The only part I liked was one of Mike's offbeat verses because it felt different, but overall, the song sounds unfinished and seems like it was rushed just to sell another version of From Zero.

how the hell is LYF worst song on FZ & it's a BIT generic? should elaborate more or else, it's just you and your own world. 😂

LP generic stuffs is in OML. the entire thing. it's funny that whenever the track doesnt suits you, you label it as "generic" and makes it confuse.

He wants the most weird song structure. He wants an operatic intro with rock opera flow + Shinoda screaming and Emily Armstrong duet with Green Day's Armstrong in a 7 minute length + 4 min piano solo + 5 minutes Hahn scratching (his head, I mean his turntables).

Sounds generic as hell. Missing 3-minute bass slapping and third rap verse from Rakim and Jay-Z with solos from Steve Aoki and Tom Morello in the outro. Now that’s what I call “ungeneric”. Do better Shinoda.

 Aoki screaming and shredding guitars, Tom Morello reprising Drawbar, recycling THP now since they're running out of ideas. Hire Bob Rock to produce the track.

well, i mean, if people wanna said it's "generic", at least what they can do is clarify what they wanted (healthy discussion). but in the end, doesn mean it's not your cup of tea or taste, it's bad in general.

….wait that’s not all. When we all thought the song ended, Daron Malakian came in with a 17-second scream of “WhY dO tHeY aLwaYs sEnD tHe PoOOoOoor” as DJ Lethal concluded the song with a Joe Hahn diss scratch solo.

Official lyrics from the booklet:

Spoiler

I’m supposed to be running
I’m just catching my breath
Saying congratulations
Terrified of what’s next
Everything is exploding
Twenty hours no sleep
Three o’clock in the morning
Lying there in the street

 

Breaking our backs for a pile of sand
Just to have it all falling out of our hands
Maybe it all gets lost in the end but

 

I’ll remember you
No matter where our ways may take us to
And even when the memories slip away
Time will test you
I won’t let you fade

 

This is supposed to feel different
Why do I feel the same
Tryna get with the rhythm
I’m all over the place
And the faces in my head say that
What was next might just be the last
We don’t want to admit that we are never going back
Revisiting the distance from the present to the past
And don’t know how we went from where we were to where we're at

 

Breaking our backs for a pile of sand
Just to have it all falling out of our hands
Maybe it all gets lost in the end but

 

I’ll remember you
No matter where our ways may take us to
And even when the memories slip away

 

Breaking our backs for a pile of sand
Just to have it all falling out of our hands
Maybe it all gets lost in the end

 

I know I’m the one that you wanna forget but

 

I’ll remember you
No matter where our ways may take us to
And even when the memories slip away
Time will test you
Time will test you
Time will test you
I won’t let you fade

 

I won’t let you fade
I won’t let you fade
I won’t let you fade
I won’t let you

The bridge and last chorus must be supplemented with the background vocals.

Imo the only generic song was Over Each Other. When i first time heard it i was like 'what is this?! it has to be some AI fake'. That's generic when a longterm fan who can play like 80% of their songs on a piano, thinks its AI.
The thing with deluxe edition songs, is those are mixed very different. Vocals more hidden, loud low end frequencies. Mixed very different from what the band ever made.
I think deluxe edition songs are worse than FZ songs. There are good moments, like Mike's rap in UFTB or unshatter bridge or LYF piano bridge, but overall the sound is different, those songs don't fit with FZ

[YRQRM0]

I just think it’s great how these dlx songs all offer something distinctly different from the main album. Like UFTB feels kinda like TEM but is solidly differentiated by the rap bridge and prechoruses, Unshatter feels kinda like CTB but not really and has a totally different bridge feel, and LYF feels unique too 

 

You have to imagine some demos and other tracks must have been more redundant and they chose 3 great ones to give us. Can’t wait to find out what the blurred song is on Phoenix’s phone amongst other demos that surely exist from this timespan 

[Soeffingnaive92]

Didn’t hear LYF but I find UFT pretty generic and uninteresting, and same for OEO. Stained is just plain bad, not for me at all. My issue is that I get that they wanted to feel familiar and don’t want to be nitpicky about that but I would want something that falls in the middle territory between “too familiar almost being a copy of old songs” and “blend of other styles and bands” (sorry to say it, but I keep hearing Paramore on some songs 

[Cesar656]

Love it, the bridge is perfect. Now that last chorus needed a guitar solo real bad!

[Hybrider]

This song is fucking banger. I love it. 100% better than Up From The Bottom.

I appreciate the Deftones vibe, but it’s missing any good melody. Bottom three for me along with Casualty and Over Each Other.

says the guy who has a profile picture with the album that almost every song has a guitar solo.

That is true and that was an anomaly for LP standards and you know it. And it is more for the rawness and heavyness of the songs instead of some random tremolo solo at the end of GATS.

#LetYouFade

What if it was an old OML demo?

 

As soon as I had the chance to listen to it, from the harmonic progression a melody immediately came to mind, a primordial demo shared by the band in 2015 in the OML pre-sessions - LINK BELOW

 

I don't know if it's a pure coincidence (harmonic progression, notes and tempo) or if the piece has actually been reworked.

 

The fact is that we are faced with the first piece of this new era that, in the metrics, presents "cut" bars just like it happens with almost all the pieces of that period.

Perhaps it could be a track recorded as a demo at the time and revised over the years.

 

The demo is District 108.

Obviously it's just food for thought.

Wow, nice catch.

[blackout]

I've just listened to Let You Fade a few times. What a great track! I don't know, maybe it's just because it's fresh, but it might be one of the best songs from From Zero era. It feels that it has much more soul than some other tracks from the album. The lyrics seem honest and they definitely come from a much more sincere place than some of the lyrics from the album. I don't want to speculate on whether the song is about Chester. I think it might be, at least partially, but perhaps it's more about the transition from the old era of the band to the new one than specifically only about Chester. Musically it's very interesting. It sounds like it could be on a hypotehtical 2023 Mike's solo album that would also include Already Over. Similar vibe! And that's why I probably like Let You Fade so much because I like Already Over very much too. I think it's something new for the band but also very Linkin Parkish at the same time. The guitars sound great. The drums have an intriguing garage/grungy sound, like from a Meteora demo. In general - a very good song!

[Fleur de Lys]

I think it’s cool how LP manages to feel fresh this many albums in. The chords and melodies of this song is somewhere they’ve never really been before. It‘s a pretty original sound on this one… pretty experimental but still catchy and earnest.

 

Probably one of my faves of From Zero as a whole

speaking of guitar solos, i wished Good Things Go had a solo. it would've taken the song to another level than it already is.
