That’s the main reason why I am not gonna see them on this tour, I am not feeling some of the Chester era songs sung by Emily, sadly, they sound “strange”.

I was crazy about new LP at first, but my hype toned down a lot in a few weeks. I do think Emily does the best she can but I am not engaged in the new stuff as I was before. Been months since the last time I played FZ front to back or a consistent number of tracks one after another and I don't like UFTB and Unshattered that much. The feeling I get from this new era is that it's a competent and well crafted rebuilding of LP but it lacks the soul I would have loved to feel and I am not talking about no Chester tribute, but the fact that everything feels pretty "empty"and devoided of soul and that is the same issue I had with most of Mike's solo material in the years following Chester's passing. I will always check out new LP and care about what they do and never thrash them, but my level of intetrest is normalized as if they were another band and not my fav of all time, sadly.

Better than UFB, it’s like if BIO and Inside of me by DBS had a baby, quite grungy and very raw. Would have put this one in place of Stained which I terrible

Agree on the fact that the album serves as something to put them back on the map, in fact I am not thrashing it as I would if this was their, say, third post - Chester album. It's a solid 6.5 nearing a 7 to me

I despise the use of AI to replicate Chester and dead people's voices but to be honest this one, despite having many flaws, is not THAT terrible compoared to other AI songs and the chorus is pretty strong. Two Faced to me got really old super quick

To me it sound more interesting than Two Faced as an attempt of recapturing nu metal. Scary what AI could be able to do in a few years

Extremely mediocre song, I don’t like the 2000s pop punky vibe at all, hope the other 2 don’t sound like this. The bridge is kinda cool, BMTH/Blackbear vibes. Overall it’s a pass for me but glad you enjoy the song.

Pretty much agree, except for the fact that Lost is a fucking fantastic track, arguably worth the top 25 in their discography

Some people here and on other sites said it, it’s probably a news leak

3 new songs ? Whoa! First time the band does something like this.

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

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

Song leaked a few days ago, many of us heard it already

Totally agree with what other people here said, LPLIVE is family at this point: I have an account since 2017 (wow 8 years, I signed up when "Heavy" came out) but I am a lurker since like 2012 and I LOVE this site, some of the founders are like close to being band members in terms pof knowledege of LP. Thank you for your amazing work

My hype for FZ was crazy but it lasted like 3 weeks after the release, songs are pretty solid but to my ears got old pretty quickly, the fact that almost every song is a direct throwback to songs that the band released more than a decade ago made me feel like the album aged pretty quickly. It's still a fun listen from time to time but I think I will probably forget about the existence of some songs in a few years

K.

Heavy is better than most of From Zero because it has a SOUL and it's not something trying to replicate the succesful LP formula trying to make a "insert song name 2.0" song. FZ is competently made with some pretty good songs, but lacks that soul songs like Heavy have, (except for Good yhings go) it's intimate and personal

I can't unhear the Paramore thing in the chorus, and that is my issue with the song, that's all. The instrumental is fun and I kinda like Mike's part and the verses, it's ok

Don't get the aggressive "defending Emily" tone of the message, I was not hating, just expressing my opinion saying I don't like her delivery that much on the song, can I?

Halestorm are phenomenal too

I don't like Paramore, but I never said/thought that every pop/rock female led band siounds like Paramore. But this song gave me Paramore vibes and my main issue here is Emily, sadly. Nothing against her but on this track a male vocalist would have made the song far more enjoyable, while I really like her on IGYEIH or TEM.

yep

Paramore Park from 2009, pretty meh song

Comparing OML to Britney Spears is like the most acting like a 2000s metal fan attitude I've ever seen haha.

From Zero + 1
