Here's how i feel.
TEM - 9.5/10. One of there best songs. About to breach 250 millions streams on spotify alone. Don't need to say much more.
HITC - 9/10. My rating takes into account both the album and the arcane version.
Over each other - 7/10. Weakest in the album but still good. From the singles released so far the most repeatable song.
Cut the bridge - 7.5/10. Clear nod to bleed it out. Catchy, will be fun live but i still feel bleed it out is better.
Casualty - 9/10. My neighbor's windows are still shaking from this 😆😆. My only gripe is its too short. Still a banger.
Overflow - 8.5/10. I was most curious about this. Took me about 3-4 listens to get into it. I like it a lot now. This song is one of the best reasons i love LP. Most bands just play safe with there sound, not LP and that's awesome.
Two-faced - 9/10. Instant hit with me. Loved the riff straight away. Love the energy of the track.
Stained - 8/10. Love emily's energy in the chorus. Mike's rap compliments emily's vocals really well. More refined than over each other.
IGYEIH - 8.5/10. Proper nu metal, would fit straight into meteora. Bouncy and Great energy.
Good things go - 10/10. My favorite on the album. Was hooked the very first time and can't stop listening to it. For me, one of the best songs LP's ever written.
The album 8.5/10. A perfect blend of heavy, light and everything in between. Great way to start a new era.
A few words on colin and emily:
Rob's a legend and will always be one. Colin's drumming draws a clear distinction and fits perfectly with the new songs. Welcome aboard to him.
And emily, casualty and good things go show her incredible range. There may be better singers out there, but as brad said in the zane lowe interview "emily's energy fits in Linkin Park", couldn't put it any better. The perfect fit for LP.
