I am not as negative as you but I can kinda see why you think like this, both songs are lesser versions of something the band already did (Faint with GU scream and War/Victimzed). I don’t think these 2 songs will age gracefully, but I do enjoy them today

Totally agree, plus OML is shorter and more packed even tho soft, you have energetic songs like GG, TTM and SFN

Let’s try HT ATS Meteora LT = FZ OML MTM THP Extremely conflicted about MTM, if it was an EP with the first 6 songs + NMS it’d probably be #4 or #3 ex aequo but the second half is something I hardly ever find myself coming back to. FZ position could change (maybe a little lower) but I really like it, short and energetic full of bangers

I loved the acoustic performances of OML promo tour, very intimate. But I admit I missed the excitement of rocky LP

A bit of Xero/HTEP and abit of By Myself/Figure 09

This is so much fun. When Mike spoke about searching for chemistry it's pretty clear what he meant

After many repetaed listens these are my brief thoughts: Ranking of the songs so far: 1 Overflow 2TEM 3 GTG 4 CTB 5 IGYEIH 6 HITC 7 TF 8 Casualty 9 OEO 10 Stained The album serves as a "hey, we are back! Do you remember us ?" It's a good record, could go on par with the last portion of their discography quality wise, concept wise it's very LT-esque in the way it sums up various eras of the band. I love it, but I hope, as some others said here, next records will be more about experimenting and exploring new stuff than coming back to the origins and fusing the prevoius albums. Overall I'm super excited and it's a 7,5/10. Feels good to be back

Yeah totally, especially the demo version of By Mysel with Mike whisperinh "so what do you say?" in the beginning. But yeah major Figure 09 and OSC vibes too

I kinda hear By Myself too. I love the goofy vibes of all the soing and video ahah

Self parody at its best ahah. Song is fun it’s like by myself 2.0

Overflow is really something else, very interesting record, need more replays

Only listened to the intro and casualty. I don’t like Casualty, blunt mess Mike sound badly weird

Wow 64? I was never a big fan of the song to say the least so … okay

Casualty seems to be like War + KTTK + Victimized type of song and I cannot wait for the studio version. Glad to see AFN being debuted live even tho I was never big on that song and Page Hamilton sounded … well… not great

Yeah as an intro to the album version would be great

This is soooo Bad Omens- esque. I fucking love it

I’ll be gone and STB were never played live toon

So which trak are you excited the most for you people ?

Would you be so kind, my friend ? 👀

OEO sounds really good

Esattamente, non credo ci sarà la band. Ci sarà qualcuno di Warner e stop immagino

Pre released singles off FZ are so much betterthan any post ATS "combo" of songs for sure. TEM Is amazing, HITC is pure nu metal LP and OEO is fresh and catchy as hell.

I have a strong feeling we aregetting another album in 2026

I love all the songs you mentioned but it's true that: 1) Emily doesn't sound that great on The Catalyst 2) FF is good but I always had the feeling that it should remain a sort of "Chester final song" giving closure to his era 3) one of the solos could be dropped, would not complain
