Qwerty18

Also had a new listen after a 3 weeks break, and I loved every second of it. Casualty, Overflow, and IGYEIH are my favorite, but everything is pretty good. The record has an infectious energy from start to finish, the hooks are all solid, and every track has a small "pay-off/ climax" moment. I can't wait to hear more of the tunes they made during those sessions, it is pretty clear they were very selective with the final tracklist, and that means we are in for more treats, at least at some point!

That's absolutely wild, if confirmed. The audience for this is beyond anything they've ever done.

HT is getting 25 next year, and FZ references the early days. Makes me dream of Carousel Part of Me From the new album Cut The Bridge Overflow IGYEIH From previous albums No More Sorrow Wretches and Kings Keys to the Kingdom Other High Voltage (2000 version) Qwerty

This is golden stuff right here. I really wish I could hear Ashes in full, although it's unlikely ever to happen.

Interesting! My 2 cents : Cut The Bridge - Underrated Casualty - Underrated Two Faced - Overrated Good Things Go - Overrated Otherwise, solid. I think Casualty is more interesting than Two Faced by quite a margin for example, but it appears I'll be in a strict minority on that one.

I love CTB and I also think GTG is slightly overrated. Really good track, but with a slight melodramatic edge to it - I know that's weird to say considering we're discussing LP, ah - and with a standard mid-tempo pop-rock chorus, albeit embellished with high notes. My current top 3 would probably be TEM, Overflow, IGYEIH, with Casualty right behind. GTG probably lands on 5.

Heavy is honestly a pretty decent-good track that got a lot of shit probably because of LP embracing a full-on pop sound. I largely prefer it over tracks like TTM or Battle Symphony. Especially TTM, can't stand that one anymore

Good Things Go

I know it's in for the win, but one can try. Good Things Go

Two faced

What did y'all do to my GOAT Casualty! Vote remains the same - Two Faced.

Becoming more difficult .... I know casualty is probably going next, but my vote goes to Two Faced!

Casualty is so much more fresh than HITC. Let's be real

Heavy is The Crown

Heavy is The Crown

Tone-wise, I wouldn't expect Alex to have much freedom of choice. I feel we're nitpicking a bit. Sure, there are some noticeable differences in some songs - APFMH having too much palm mute in the verse for example - and indeed, different picking patterns can alter the sound a bit too, but it's not like he was playing wrong notes or off beat. Which ok, should never happen for professionals but still, I think the guitars sound fine overall.

Over Each Other.

Come on, I hope CTB beats OEO I quite like CTB, especially... The bridge. Catchy af.

Over Each Other

Ah, seems to have been ear monitor problem around 1:38 and 1:45. Either I'm hearing weird or she went quite off-key here. Just an observation anyway. Emily is awesome, hic-ups happen.

From zero (intro)

Ah, I hadn't given a song ranking. It's kind of tricky because I like them all, but I'd say The Emptiness Machine IGYEIH Overflow Casualty Good Things Go Two Faced Stained Cut The Bridge Heavy Is The Crown Over Each Other But yeah. There is really not a huge difference between 1 and 10 in term of the enjoyment I get out of it.

I wouldn't have recognized Dave if I wasn't told it was him ^^

Awesome video. The movie for this is going to be a treat.

I think Alex is doing great, he's more energetic on stage than 2007-2017 Brad, and he is also a cleaner player when it comes to lead-playing. Also seems like a humble, nice person. I hope he sticks around. As long as Brad stays as a studio musician, I'm all good. He's at the core of LP sound, and I can't imagine the band without him.
