MMM

Good to know thx

Yeah i only listening to this three songs from that session too. NCSM have so much potential and they made it so blank. Sometimes I have feeling that I could rework this song to be much better on my own. Cut of that chipmunks, Louder octaves guitar parts in chorus (louder 3rd guitar from stems not 2nd), more heavier vocals from chester and more distinctive synth would make it top 10 song in catalog. But it is what it is. I think we will have bright future with LP9 and more.

Never argue with people who tells the truth XD. OML has worst production with a lyrics first which lost them in the process; Outdated sound, trap drums everywhere, generic sampling, buried guitars, ugly nasal chester vocals, lyrics written with a label songwriters doesn't make it better. It feels like this album was not made by the band, but by Warner. So its true. It is OMS. I erased this album from my personal discography last month and i'm happy that they back to what they ment to be with FZ. Even if there is still bunch of songwriters on the album, there is big bright light in the tunnel because they have much more creativity with no deadlines like before. So they could make whole new album on their own even if they still work with Elisondo or someone else who could have good ideas in their minds.

Emily is so much more comfortable talking, performing and I love it. WFTE story is honey on my heart. Love it. My best song next to Papercut. I love new LP more and more. After OMS I never thought I would like LP like this ever before

I think they'll release instrumentals next Friday

For me its the best song on an album but I thought GTG will be only track that they will not perform live cause the ending vocal parts from choruses are so hard to sing. It almost look like that part is pitch corrected in production. Maybe Emily will use some kind of falsetto. I don't know. I'm a bit afraid but if they planning release this song as a single they need to play it live. So we will see how it comes.

For me OEO to Casualty to Overflow is one of the best triptych in a whole discography even if that songs on their own are not that best. Generally FZ album doesn't have one standout song like the best songs from LT or THP or MTM but as a whole record from start to finish it is much better than this albums imo. On the weekends sometimes I like to listen all studio albums chronogically and last time I excluded OML from that experience and FZ fits fantastic after THP. I will stay with that. OML have such an outdated sound. I wish it was only NCSM/OML/FF EP or double single or something like that.

Its two months since album release. For me it ages really well. Generally I love second half of the album. It's like album gets better with every song. It would be cool if they release some kind of EP this year. Or even part2 of FZ. It would be crazy. But I think they have much more songs hidden in the vault and it is not impposible.

I made some changes to the setlist. Somewhere I belong, given up, breaking the habit out. HITC as an intro and i put IGYEIH in the encore. Overflow instead of BTH. I would welcome more FM variations than playing RTN over again on every shows Act 1 Inception 1. Heavy Is The Crown 2. Crawling 3. Lying From You 4. Two Faced 5. New Divide 6.

Benjamin Chandler, LP guitar engineer from the past was great replacement for Brad during THP tour. They should bring him back

Hybrid Theory LIVING THINGS Meteora A Thousand Suns From Zero Minutes To Midnight The Hunting Party One More Light

Brazilian colors. Yellow, blue, green. They will play two shows there. 15-16th

My order after first day 1. Good Things Go - One of the best in entire discography in terms of emotions. Masterpiece. That's it. 2. Overflow - most growing track after many listening. Emily vocals on second part are so touching. Song is like mix of Dropped Frames , ATS and The Weeknd. Mike vocals are something new and I Love it. 3. Two Faced - More authentic throwback to old school than HITC. And I think first song since Meteora to have every aspects of old style. Mike flow is almost indentical. Vocal chord progression in Chorus reminds me of Dave guitar part in clip 'Xero reborn' form LPUTV. It would cool if this track is reworked old demo. 4. The Emptiness Machine - best comeback track we could imagine and great Emily introduction. 5. IGYEIH - that is cool track. Interesting Demi Lovato like vocals from Emily with much more power. That one long reverb scream before real ending reminds me of Chester so much. 6. Cut The Bridge - something in this reminds me Bleed It Out but it is much more interesting song for me. One thing I don't like is Mike flow in the bridge with that stretched note in every lines. 7. Over Each Other - solid song. Very Jon Green pop with much louder sound than anything on OML. Kind of boring in bridge. Could have been much better. It sounds unfinished. 8. Casualty - very loud chaotic good track. Reminds me of White Noise, War, KTTK but I don't like Emily vocals on this one, too forced. Sounds weird. But it is interesting lyrically. I would know what it is really about since Emily wrote a chorus. 9. Heavy Is The Crown - more generic throwback to old style. One note bridge which I don't like but I know why it's there. Nice Mike flow but verses are so short. I like ending chorus and instrumental. Love sampling in background. Band should use more samples like this in the future. 10. Stained - for me weakest track. Very radio frendly. It has similarities with GTG but for me is more repetitive poppy and generally worse. And that stretched 'Staaaaind' line annoy me after just one day. My general opinion about this album is very positive. Best since LT. There are better or worse songs but I dont skip anything which is good sign. It is like mix of every original albums with modern more polished production. Not very experimental but Overflow is exception. Zane Lowe said it is very THP. It is not at all. THP was raw production. This album is more like classic LP polished album with more modern pop accents and influences but still loud enough. There was bunch of songwriters worked on and Mike and guys evolving into more commercial style of writing and production. Generally Emily sounds very good. For me better than Chester in 2017 and even 2014 but there is place to improvement. For comeback album I give it 8/10 rating. Now give me something experimental for LP9

For me GTG is one of the most touching songs in whole discography. Instant tear in eye. I will review whole album after official release but generaly I'm full of positive emotions first time since LIVING THINGS.
