Thoughts on the Lost demos: the famous 4 “new” songs with Chester on vocals are AMAZING, More the victim being probably my favorite, a bit more unique than the others but all of them are great. Massive is amazing wish it was completed, instrumentally is freaking insane, that bridge. Husky is cool, I kinda like the vibe of the verses a bit more than HTF. Cool to have it, same for Plaster 2, the solo is so cool. A6 is cool with finally some vocals, but it was a little bit a let down because we all expected the “just track it out, remember” . It’s nice. I love Cuidado, so raw and gritty, it misses the carnival sample but i love this instrumental. I don’t see myself coming back to interrogation and faint, nice demos but kinda what I expected, nothing that freaks me out. I like the piano on Interrogation a lot and the extended riff In Faint. Shifter is the weirdest LP demo ever, love how it is totally different from the final version vocally, sounds like Staind at times 😂 Wesside is cool, except for the Meteora like typical riff the rest sounds nothing like nu metal LP (almost ATS ish) and I love that. Only issue I have is that it’s a bit too long for my taste for being an instrumental. Resolution: cool to have a more complete version of Wizard song, but I am not a big fan of Mike’s Xero rap style here. Nice but not something I will listen to very often. All in all, solid release ! It’s like a double LPU and maybe the best one we ever got.

Thanks

Set list ? ☺️

Can’t wait to blast the Lost Demos and stuff like Wish on Spotify

Yeah it’s amazing, deep, uplifting, at times obviously sad, it’s like them talking with a good old friend. Zane was amazing and the guys too.

Spoil me the song, describe it tome as if I were deaf, I will wait friday

My takes on the 3 "new" songs I heard on Sirius XM (Reddit): - A.06: very raw, cool to have some rap vocals there, but i was kinda bummed by the lack of Chester on it. Good stuff anyway. - Massive: blown away, if the vocals in the chorus were higher in the mix would be phenomenal, instrumentally is SUPER interesting. - Husky: cool rap, good to have an alternative take like we got on Faint and Figure 09 LPU demos. Nothing I'm freaking out for but it's cool Cannot wait for the rest

Very interesting question, I think that it was meant for Chester if they finished the song, but honestly Mike sounds really good, a lot better than So far away or that BTH demo.

Yeah totally

TOTALLY AGREE. Right after Chester’s passing I was like “if they continue they should choose someone similar to him, for what is possible, like Oli from BMTH or Sam Carter of Architects so they can play the heavy stuff”. But no ? Fuck no, go wild and if you want to bring a second vocalist do something totally different, bring a female vocalist or someone who sounds nothing like Chester.

Totally, bands like Architects and BMTH do it all the time now

Really really good track, when I read the Altwire review and saw it was Mike singing I was like “ehhh pre MTM Mike singing” but it’s fucking dope ! I mean, for a demo, I love it

Yeah I agree with you, they are probably sitting on hundreds of half songs like Too Legit or Asbestos. We just have to hope they remember they exist 😂

They are saving something for other anniversaries I guess. Like, I think we are getting smaller celebrations but still something. Like, A.06 with Chester vocals and the other Figure 09, I think saving something for like 2033 could be cool.

Really ? ☺️ hope so. Nothing against Mike obviously, can’t wait the rap on A06 and Figure 09, but I wouldn’t mind another Chester vocal take we never heard

All the demos with Chester on vocals ? MTV, Lost, FM and Healing Foot, am I missing something? 😃

A little bit let down because we already heard all the Chester demos, but can’t wait for Resolution and other rap by Mike, always wanted A.06 with rap

Yeah and I can totally see Chester make jokes with Mike about how many times they wrote the chorus or stuff like that 😂 and he would tweet about the song performing good in charts.

Yeah loved the way he was like “OMG ITS AWESOME IT’S OUR BEST SONG/ALBUM” I remember he hyped GATS all over his social media like a kid 😂😂❤️

Yeah Iove his over the top (in a good way) reaction. He is really hyped about the track and M20. This hype makes me a little bit sad at the same time because I always think about Chester’s hype about stuff

Yeah probably

A06 with screams would be something to freak out, and I bet one between resolution and Wesside will be a rap song by Mike

I really like single songs but the track list is my big issue: Side A is the big singles we all heard 10000 times, Side B is like the “good songs but too many U2-esque ballads”, I’d have moved NMS in the last 3 to break the VD IB IP TLTGYA sequence that is kinda flat

OML is great I love every song on it, it’s one of those records I love putting up and listen front to back, something I never do with MTM, I feel so bored by that album in full.

My bad, sorry 😂 keyword And MTM was: “ we wanted to undo what we have done before. Could have been a career ender”
