Heavy

Halfway Right

It s already goooone (pun intended). Anyway, i don t get the hate for the song. It s my 2nd fav on the album and definitely in my top 25 LP songs

If Heavy makes it to the top 5 i m loosing all the respect for this site (just kidding guys )

If that was true, then Sorry for Now would be my Hermione lol. She wins hands down.

LOL cool

putting in order OML songs is like if i had to choose between dating Emma Watson, Irina Shayk or Emily Ratajkowski

Heavy

FUCK ! My fav song voted as the worst on the album LOL

So hard because i fuckin love the album buuuuut gotta go with Heavy: it s good but too short and the feature overcomes everything in the song and makes it feel less LP-ish. And the others are all great

It s a song where Mike sings and it s new (never played), so it could be : RU, STB, AFN, MTG (?), SFN

Fucking underwhelming but ok

OK, so the only Chester-related material is live footage ?

I strongly hope in some scrapped demos from OOA , it d be awesome

Here in Italy debuted n. 6...

The album is doing simply GREAT, #1 in the. top 2000, #1 Rock, #1 Alternative, Heavy peaked #50 in the Hot 100, the band is #1 in the special chart that measures popularity. Worldwide the album debuted in the Top 10 in 20 countries and is still in the first 4 places on ITunes

 

More like 40%-50%, quite a few people on here need to make peace with the fact that objectively, this is a below average record. The fact that they enjoy it is subjective and absolutely fine, but that doesn't change the before mentioned fact.

It really subjective, in fact I literally dislike some albums that are praised by critics and fucking love OML at the point that i play it like 2/3 times a day in full. Subjectivity is everything in music, luckily not many people decide what to listen to by reading reviews.

OML is now #32 on US itunes, wow huge downfall

Yes but you have to consider that s pretty normal because people (except for the huge fans) buy single songs more often than albums. Anyway, it s still n. 6 Worldwide on Itunes, and that s pretty solid

I fear the album will have a huge drop the 2nd week

 

If you take the steady decline in CD sales into consideration, I still think that this record did relatively better. It probably wasn't the success they hoped for though. I think they hoped to revive their career with a more accessible and modern sound, just like Coldplay, Paramore, and to some extend Nickelback. It won't pay off because the old fans/metal community hates it, and they're just too old and the Linkin Park name is too stigmatized to ever be "cool" in the top 40 range again.

 

I hope the guys won't take this blow too hard, because while I don't really think OML is up there with their best work, I don't doubt for one second that every lyric and melody comes from a very real place. That's why Chester reacted so strong to the sellout comments.

Yes maybe they were hoping for a massive success you re right, but the contest is really hard now for a 17 years old band. Anyway, i m reall glad that nobody can call this record a flop, i mean 6 days n. 1 in the ww itunes and a top debut in the Hot 100 is not a flop by any means.

Middle finger to all those hoping for a flop . #OML#1#LP

1 OML 2 HR 3 NCSM 4 Sharp 5 Invisible 6 TTMS, Battle (ex aequo) 8 SFN (I know it s low, i like the song but think it will not have much replay value) 9 GG = Heavy. Anyway, i don t dislike any of the songs, i d give Heavy a strong 73/100, just to point out)

Halfway Right and OML equal

OML is the best song in LP career. The rest of the album is really good with some heights (Halfway right, Sharp Edges, Invisible) and some good songs ( SFN, NCSM,Heavy,...) All in all a strong 8/10 to me

I wish they drop New Divide in favour of a new song

The more i listen to this record, the more i realize that i like it because i can relate to lyrics that express REAL feelings of the REAL life of everyday. The point, for me at least, is that I feel this record at an inner level because of the themes and that s why NOW in this moment of my life i d take this album over the typical New Divide or Keys to the Kyngdom or GATS instrumentally good and super fun and energetic LP standard song. It s calm, reflective, intimate but not super melodramatic.

OML and BTH are awesome, top 5 LP songs for me
