The album is great. First no-fillers/no-weak tracks record since ATS, for me.
The way Mike and Emily share vocal duties on 90% percent of the tracks, alternating back-and-forth and between different singing styles, rapping styles, yelling, screaming, whispering, it's really what this band was always all about. It is what makes record like HT and ATS so special. It's great to have that chemistry back. There are no moments where I felt like "ok, here comes the Mike song", "ok here comes the Emily song". It's all fluid and constantly evolving.
The album feels like a journey through LP discography, but yet, it has a very strong distinct identity on its own. There is no LP record that sounds like From Zero. And it achieves that cohesive tone despite being a very diverse record in term of genres. It's genius.
The songs are strong, all of them.
TEM is an anthem that deserves all its praise and more
CTB is a grower, the more you listen to it, the better it gets. It's catchy af.
HITC is super fun banger
OEO is super vibey and evolves quite a bit through its short run time, and Emily is awesome in it
Casualty fucking rips
Overflow is mindblowingly good, love the atmosphere
Two Faced is the band giving their sweetest tribute to their beginnings yet, and they aced it 100%
Stain is an earworm
IGYEIH is a banger, reminds me of Tool at times
GTG is stunning and emotionally super intense
I loved my first few listens. Welcome back LP.
