I am blown away by the level of completion of these “demos”. Like, we are not talking about asbestos or Too Legit or Pictureboard, these are almost done songs, Lost is a song that almost made the cut, FM is 90% done (Mike’s words), MTV the same, and Healing Foot is very raw and quite formulaic but not that far from being a song that could have been on the record… wow

It’s so good! Always loved the instrumental. It has something of both ITE and Faint

So far for me it's really hard to rank the four songs we have because the effect of being new LP from an old era I love is really weird and amazing, but... so far I can say: LOST: I really love it, it's like Numb little sister, the chorus is super strong and the second verse is better than the first, the bridge is amazing but the instrumental in the verses is a bit too demo-ish for me, kinda like a Xero demo. FIGHTING MYSELF: looove it but totally get why it was not on the album, it's really too similar to Papercut and HTF (and maybe a bit even to Figure09), I think I like it more than HTF because of the bridge and the weird crazy reversed vocal. MORE THE VICTIM: it has that weird punky vibe and the chorus makes me think of DBS, Mike's rap is very good, but it's one that could have fit more on LT than Meteora IMO. HEALING FOOT: love the song, it's very demo-ish but gives me vibes of Faint and ITE and the instrumental is a bit Reanimation style. Out of the 4 we heard so far, this one is the one that I think needed more work to be complete.

Cracking the million in one day

Yeah this was not like LOST, who almost made the cut, this was a song that was really far in the process but was scrapped. I’m glad we have it, it’s a holy grail definitely because it’s 110% old school LP but it’s kinda repetitive and quite similar to at least a couple of better songs. It’s great but not one of these “OMG WTF WHY THIS WAS NOT ON THE ALBUM” situations

Yeah he is a manager now, he had panic performing live, plus I think last time he recorded vocals on something was like 1998.

I have to agree, I remember when LOST dropped I was like "How the fuck this song was not on the album instead of Nobody's listening or HTF?" then I realized, I love LOST but i see why it was not on the album (mainly being Numb 2.0 and also pretty similar to ETR).

Having the opportunity to listen to Wake me and NST on Spotify makes me appreciate even more the outstanding work they did with Amends and The Phoenix, they did a phenomenal job

Your joke made me realize that I fucking want a Mark the graves demo, the possibility of it having very different lyrics is high

Yeah 😂😂😂

Yeah like the terrible metal version of “Heavy” someone did in 2017… IF one of the biggest bands of the last 2 decades decides to make a song that has a specific sound, it doesn’t mean that a metal version will be better automatically 😂😂 falls in the “metal head stereotypical way of thinking” 😂.

I pre-ordered the 3 CDs bundle, maybe it is stupid but I want something to celebrate M20 but at the same time I don't care THAT much about vynils and live shows so it'd be basically something I'd watch once/twice and then put on a shelf for years. Don't get me wrong, the box set is amazing and not even THAT expensive, but it's me. I bought Amends super Deluxe and last time I opened the picture book was like 2021

100% agree on this. Really digging the 2 songs

Yes, I mean Mike ☺️

The song fits soooo well in the movie, at the beginning when the movie title appears on screen with an overview of NY, and then on the ending credits, right after Still Alive plays on the ending scene. I am so happy to see Mike’s name on a big project, the movie scored the best opening weekend for the franchise, and the reviews are quite good. I’m not the biggest fan of the franchise but the movie is fun and enjoyable, I liked it as much as the 5th.

Yeah it’s A LOT better than HE or open Door. Thanks to the dark tone for Scream 6

It’s a fun song, Mike’s vocals in the bridge are REALLY good. Nice

yeah LP is promoting the song on their social media too, like they did with Post Traumatic. Anyway, it's crazy that Lost is A LOT bigger than Still Alive. LP bigger than Demi Lovato in 2023 is really massive

In like 3 weeks we are getting an unreleased LP album, feels unreal. I know they are demos and like more than half of them are just instrumentals but wow

So that song is coming out with the movie since he said it’s in a specific scene

The bridge is the best part of the song yeah, classic LP

It’s nice but to be honest I don’t understand why releasing 2 videos that are pretty similar to each other. I don’t dislike any of the 2, but I’d have preferred 2 different videos, like one showing live footage from that era or stuff like that and one in this style. Anyway, it’s nice

yeah not getting an energetic video for LITE was weird, I'd have liked to see Mike rap and Chester scream the "let you gooo" on the bridge with some weird dark imagery like BID or UIG videos, like do an alternative video to the interactive one

I love how M20 feels like a proper album cycle, new singles, multiple videos, press by the band, q&a .... love it

ACTUAL, lol. Amends and Phoenix are fucking great. I buy them just for collection's sake
