    Heavy - Post Album Release

    in Everything Linkin Park

    Posted

    I think it's a very solid song built on a track that could've been better. I still like it a lot though, and it sounds like Linkin Park more than people give it credit, certainly much more than Sorry for now, Halfway right or Sharp edges for example. They made a lot of these build up kind of songs since MTM, if you gave Heavy a different production and turned the guitar volume up it would sound A LOT like Powerless.

    True, i always heard Powerless in it

    Agreed. I never cared for other opinions; I like what I like, you like what you like. That is all. "Sharp Edges" is my new favorite LP song and surprisingly this album surpassed The Hunting Party as my favorite LP album. I can relate to a lot of the songs on OML, which is a first for me from LP.

    Totally agree on this, I really love Sharp Edges and OML, i find them onest and really emotional. Definitely want more of this by LP. I would love to hear an acoustic EP

    The more I listen to the album, the more I enjoy it. I don t get the backlash by music critics but don t give a shit: I like this record a lot and it s #1 everywhere on Itunes so they can shut up . " Disrespect me ? Well, then fuck them"

    It's not as terrible as people seem to think. I've listened to the full OML album enough times now to have certain highlights that I look forward to on playthroughs, and Heavy is one of them. After the first 5 songs, Kiiara's vocal comes in and creates a refreshing change of atmosphere. The guest feature here feels right and much more effective than Good Goodbye's features.

     

    Also, I'm glad that Heavy doesn't feature any of the vocal chops with which she has become synonymous. She sung the song well, and I felt like she added to the song rather than just being thrown in so LP could say "Look, we have Kiiara on a song!".

    totally agree about the chops, if she sung like on her song Gold i d have hated it probably

    I'm going to forgo my traditional song-by-song review for now and just say the following:

     

    -Invisible and Talking to Myself are good songs (although the live version of Talking to Myself absolutely DESTROYS the studio version).

    -Good Goodbye and Heavy are both still trash.

    -Of the remaining six songs, five of them have a general consistency to them of having some really interesting sounds contained within them, but being rather forgettable because the songwriting just isn't up to par. Sorry for Now has one of Mike's best vocal performances and some really cool guitar sounds, Sharp Edges is one of the more immediately "different" sounding songs LP has ever done, Halfway Right has some really cool stuff like the tubular bell samples that show up in the last chorus...but behind the cool sounds, where are the songs? Lots of stuff that would probably be relegated to filler territory on other albums, and this is completely independent of the pop sound, I could take or leave that (all things considered, this album still manages to sound more like Linkin Park than I expected...it's just not necessarily GREAT Linkin Park).

     

    However...any mixed feelings I have about the rest of the album can be put aside for the fact that this album gave us the song One More Light. Or even more personally, it gave ME the song One More Light. I'll defend that song to death, and fuck you if you hate it because I guarantee you haven't spent the last two years feeling like half of a person because your dad was the only person in your family you were still close to, but he died from cancer before you ever got the chance to make him a grandpa, so you tried time and time again to write a song about it because music is the only thing you've ever been good at so how else would you cope, but the words just never came out right...only for this song to come along and say everything you've been trying to say all along.

     

    Not that a lot of you guys really "know" me (I'm an intentionally impersonal dick online for a reason, after all), but if you do, you know that I don't tend to be emotionally affected by lyrics...music, sure, I'm a sucker for great harmonies and well-executed key changes and stuff that'll give me goosebumps, but I'm a pretty emotionally bottled-up headcase otherwise. But fuck it, I've healed to some extent from hearing that song, and I'm not ashamed to say I've cried like a baby about it every time I've listened to it so far.

    BEST COMMENT EVER. Seriously.

    This is, as someone Already said, the firecracker record: pop, with no nu metal /rock/hard rock elements. It s ( as Chester said

    ) the logical evolution of LT , and THP should be considered a deviation from this road at this Point. We will see, i love poppy electronic LP

    LT is not a disaster, is a good album with some heights and some lows, some songs are awesome ( LITE, COG, IMR, even UIB is pretty good) but some others feel like unfinished demos or really rushed songs ( Victimized, STB) and there are too many songs that sound so similar
