Wow, I like B12 more than like 4 tracks on PT and many on TRT songs, but it’s a matter of taste 😊 Listening to the full album this morning on the cd for the 1st time and I was blown away by some of the songs, it’s super strong to me, even if it has weaknesses

The demo didn’t sound that promising, we’ll see.

I listen to Grey Daze since like 2008 and TBH despite enjoying the old versions I think every song on Amends is better than the original

I appreciate the fact that you tried to put your issues with the band aside and tried to give an opinion about the music only. I agree with you on ma y of the things you stated in the review, but disagree on others (like to me B12 despite being a bit messy is still pretty good, a 6.5/10 and I love the new In Time), but hey, it’s music, the most subjective thing in the world. Thank you for giving an honest opinion about the music without thrashing it as “garbage” just because you didn’t feel on board with the project. As someone who loves the album and always loved GD, I really appreciate this😊

Yeah me too. Clickbait AF

Exactly like when Morton announced”Cross Off”: “Chester Bennington recorded a full heavy metal album with Lamb of God’s Mark Morton” ....

Curious about the review, loving the album, haven’t been that satisfied on an album for a while

TTM was very LP-ish, yeah I agree. But to me Heavy is THE single radio-wise. i mean, I agree on the fact that TTM is a better song, but radio-wise Heavy was an obvious choice

God, tomorrow I'm preordering the deluxe edition with this amazing book

Curious, what would've been your pick as 1st single for OML ?

TBH to me the scream sounds like Chester and Sean told me on Direct "it's Chester, just a different vocal take", but that might be wrong...

1. Not shooting a proper MV for Rebellion; 2. OML shortened to just 10 songs and not a "standard" 12 songs album 3. Recharged not being an EP with just the remixes by the band; 4. Not releasing IMR as a single off LT 5. LITE music video

The scream is fucking amazing, super heavy. Also, love the instrumentals, reminds me a bit of QOTSA. Other standout tracks to me are The Syndrome and She Shines, incredible songs, then obviously In time and Soul Song. Overall, incredible album

Yeah the song has a 80s power ballad vibe mixed to classic LP (BID, Invisible, UIG...)

Love the fact that he talk about Primo and I could listen to him speaking about Chester for days

I remember the "co-hosted" shows. But with STP I remember the interviews of the LP band members talking about Chaz joining STP but there wasn't interaction or like specific talking about High Rise by Mike or Brad or the other guys, IIRC

I agree on Mike not giving relevance to the project, it’s not necessary. THB as a LP fan, i see this as something distinct from LP, different, and it’s not necessary to have Mike’s approval to enjoy it. He gave a shoutout to Mark Morton because there was nothing conflictual about that, but with GD his silence is exactly what I expected and I think it’s the best thing he could do

Sounds like Lorde

Milking or not, the songs on Amends are fucking awesome and TBH I don’t need Mike’s opinion or permission to think that the album is great. No disrespect at all to Mike, obviously

TBH I’m happy about the album hitting Top 3 Us iTunes and and #6 WW. It’s a great release with Chester on it, so... The scream is fucking amazing, super heavy. Also, love the instrumentals, reminds me a bit of QOTSA. Other standout tracks to me are The Syndrome and She Shines, incredible songs, then obviously In time and Soul Song. Overall, incredible album. http://www.itunescharts.net/us/charts/albums/rock/

Incredible album, cashgrab or genuine, it's too good to ignore it. Most of the songs are way better than the originals and I love the bittersweet vibe of the tracks. It definitely contains some of my favorite Chester-related material (love LP, not comparing). It's emotional, heartfelt, I'd have loved it even if he was still here enjoying it with us and laughing at his skinny dreadlocked young self.

Yeah absolutely, I can't tell you WHERE exactly but there are different vocal takes and it's a nice addition

Sean told me that on JLH it's just Chester, just a different vocal take not included in the original version. Amazing

Yeah exactly, Mike or the other band members never expressed specific opinions about High Rise or OOA (except for Mike saying the album was more “rock” oriented than LP). LP is LP, GD is GD, Julien K are involved in the project and directly supported the album, but they have nothing to do with LP. It’s not that the hate each other or stuff like that, there are friends of my friends that I wouldn’t hang out with and I don’t even have their phone numbers

THIS. Totally agree on this
