MMM

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.

They need to change that marathon setlist. Casualty, GU and OSC in one run is too much for Emily throat. We want her in the band not for just one year. She is perfect but she's human. With bad care she can lost her voice very easly. They planning 50 shows in 2025. Will she survive that?

I love Emily version of LITE. For me sound better than Chester version (live). It's sad that this song have rotation spot and probably they replace it with something new in the future. I want proshot of this performance so much.

For me they should remove Given up and place HITC there. In old place of HITC insert Casualty. OEO should replace BTH. Definitely in later concerts they will remove other not single release tracks. Could be LFY/POA and replace them mayby with Two Faced or another new track. Joe solo and WTCFM is great break for Emily, Alex and Dave so this part should stay for full tour.

I still think that they preparing LP9 for 2025. They want to give it to us after 7 year break.

After sleep i listen it again with more fresh brain. Biggest issue is Bridge. Start very good with first "ohh". it is cool and then "are we over each other" and again "ohh" is so boring should be many more there. It kill a momentum.

Colin produced many of their songs so yeah its probably his influence mostly.

And then 4th format will be Mike singing Emily rapping XD

I really like this song but i think it's very very bad decision for releasing this as a single especially when album isn't released so far. Maybe as a 5th single it could be cool. But pop/rock song before release is shoot in the foot. They bring back some old fanbase with TEM/HITC and releasing something in completely different taste. I hate that songs from FZ are so shortened. Some parts should be extended, decorated more. There is big potential to doing this and Song ends when its start to be really great.

I can imagine he was recorded on camera but most likely cut out of BTS videos

Its Wesside demo from Meteora20

I have weird feeling that LP with new lineup have creativity momentum and finished not only "FZ" but polishing "LP9" right now. xD

Technically before Final Masquerade. Maybe all of the songs from FZ are from OML session and they fast reinterpreted them to more rock/metal vibe. XD But seriously Its weird that only TEM don't have external writers.
