Nice, I guess it’s the first “I” from the first verse (I wanna pick up the pieces ....”) heavily distorted

I spoke to Cristin Davis on Facebook and he told me the weird distorted noise that sounds like a siren on Spin is a sample of Chester’s voice. Interesting

I totally know, except for COG (I added that) no radio big singles

REALISTIC SET (with the band as a 5 piece): 1. LOATR (maybe mashed up with the “Fear” demo); 2 Roads Untraveled 3 Papercut 4 In the end (crowd singing Chester’s part); 5 Step Up/It’s going down/Nobody’s listening; 6 Until it breaks; 7 Iridescent 8 Burning in the skyes 9 Invisible 10 Sorry for now; 11 NCSM/Battle Symphony (sort of a medley thing) 12 In Between 13 No roads left 14 Good Goodbye (shortened, with demo verse and crowd singing the chorus); 15 All for nothing 16 Wastelands/Runaway medley (no chorus); 16 Mr. Hahn solo; 17 WTCFM 18 COG 19 Hands Held High 20Bleed it out/APFMH/Reading my eyes rap medley with crowd singing one chorus of BIO.

I like the letters from the band, they are cute. Nothing really interesting so far but it was expected, they said we shouldn’t expect updates about new music.

I miss Geki

That’s true !

Yeah same for me with Fort Minor, I listened to TRT front to back like once in my entire life, and I have heard The Phoenix more times than ANY song on TRT. No hate for the project, just never clicked with me and my taste 😊

Yeah 😂😂😂😂

Yeah should have been a live DVD

So weird, I like the project. Weird

You are the missing piece.

Who the hell cares about old albums, songs on The Phoenix sound 230 times better, original Spin sounds like randomly generated music with good vocals.

I pretty much agree on the ratings, Amends was more emotional, more sad, this is just a really good record.

Some of the vocals are a bit too processed but I am amazed on the what they did. On some cleans Chester sounds like on OML, but these vocals were recorded 20 years prior to that album. Like Holding you could be a 2016 track, fucking incredibile

Totally disagree with almost everything you said because I couldn’t care less about the old songs now that we got the new ones, and I think Richard Patrick on Believe me is one of the best things on the record, BUT I’m really happy you took time to give the album a chance and expressed an opinion not influenced by your personal feelings about Sean and Mace and the “cashgrab” thing. 😊

The album just hit 1 million on Spotify. Pretty cool considering it’s such a niche project.

😂😂😂😂😂😂

You’re welcome! What do you think about the album ? 😊

The “what‘s in me is in you” part was in the original In Time, they cut that part in the Amends version of “In time”

You need to mention Esjay Jones too, she did an awesome job with the album.

Yeah really. If people think they’re making a ton of money from a record that will sell 20k copies and generate less than one million streams in the first like month upon the release, these people don’t know music industry. About the trackilst, totally agree with you, plus, I don’t like the fact that the record begins with the 2 singles, first time I listened to the record I skipped to Be your man immediately because I wanted the new songs

I didn’t want to over hype myself because the record is super new. I did the review and then downgraded every rating of 0.5 lol. This is my thought on the album in a year. (I listened to the record like 10 times, I love it to death)

Personal track by track ratings with small comments: 1) Saturation: love Chester’s screams, the instrumental is very early 2000s rock. Solid opener. 8/10. 2) Starting To Fly: sounds fire, once you get used to Sean’s vocals. Chester’s voice in the bridge is a bit too effected. 7,5/10. 3) Be your man: call it Dead by Daze or Grey by Sunrise, really cool ballad that could fit on Out of Ashes. A bit too repetitive. Aptly renamed after the actual lyrics of the song. 7,5/10. 4) Holding You: best song on the album, Dave Navarro slays with a phenomenal solo. Sounds like Kings of Chaos. 8,5/10. 5) Hole: song is really good, but that intro is so weird and quite creepy and the ending “hole yeah” sounds artificial. 7,5/10. 6) Drag: banger, perfect instrumental, very LP-ish. 8/10. 7) Believe me: really good rendition, more powerful. Richard Patrick is the MVP, his vocals are perfectly complimentary to Chester’s. 8/10. 8 ) Anything Anything: good instrumental but the vocals are too slow at the point they get almost dull. 6,5/10. 9) Spin: proof that miracles exist, they turned the original mess into a really solid Alice In Chains - esque dark ballad. Some of Chester’s vocals on this one have always been quite strange. 7,5/10. 10) Wake me: nice closing track, the In Time parts are surprisingly fitting. Not one of the better songs but nice. 7/10.

Yeah i agree that the idea was cool but i’m glad that I’m not the only one who found it slightly creepy. First time I played the song I was like “what’s that ? James Wan’s Dead Silence soundtrack?”
