….wait that’s not all. When we all thought the song ended, Daron Malakian came in with a 17-second scream of “WhY dO tHeY aLwaYs sEnD tHe PoOOoOoor” as DJ Lethal concluded the song with a Joe Hahn diss scratch solo.
Sounds generic as hell. Missing 3-minute bass slapping and third rap verse from Rakim and Jay-Z with solos from Steve Aoki and Tom Morello in the outro. Now that’s what I call “ungeneric”. Do better Shinoda.
I don’t know, love UFTB and Unshatter but not feeling this one yet. It’s very different, instead of feeling like a LP track it gives me massive Blink-182 vibe, so kinda get why it didn’t make it to the main tracklist.
Either way I’m happy it’s the only track that I just can’t vibe with. The other full songs from FZ are all bangers to me, love this album!
Seems like some people can never be pleased. 8 years ago, they complained about how soft the band had become. Now we got a heavy, guitar-driven LP back with angsty nu-metal raps and batshit crazy screams but the “Not LP” argument still hasn’t died down.
Don’t we all miss Chester? And I believe Mike and the guys still undoubtedly do as well. But there’s nothing we can do to change what has been done and we can only move forward.
How is Overflow less a single material than Catalyst? It has a Travis Scott/ Twenty One Pilots vibe that sounds like it could have done very well on the chart. Tbh all songs on FZ sound like they could be singles.
Give them time. They’ve been back not even for a year after nearly a decade hiatus. I don’t think they want to compete with anyone.
Moreover at this point in their career, it’s incredible that they’re still doing this well. Let’s not forget how well FZ fare compared to them new bands. Not one of them can even get close to that level of success.
In other words I’m just happy that we even get new music. They could have just called it quit after Chester passed and kept releasing unreleased stuff but we’ve been with new stuff after new stuff in only six months.
Why do I have a feeling that they’ll give us more than just one single? Maybe From Zero could be like a series of concept albums similar to Post Human: Survival Horror & Post Human: Nex Gen by BMTH.
Sounds unlikely but one can only hope.
