It's perhaps the most controversial song in the band's trajectory, something remarkable from the same group that already pulverized their established image with What I've Done 10 years prior.
Wherever you feel about the song (I think it's wasn't bad, just generic), you can't deny it was a huge hit and could have even become a future classic.
But these 7 years of silence and the current state of the band have changed my perspective about the song: It was popular just for the sake of controversy, nothing else.
For many fans, because they felt betrayed by the band (the band had been "betraying" them since 2007, but you know what I mean...).
Mainstream audience on the other hand, found funny that the 04 nu metal poster boys became the opposite of what they represented (just talking about general perception, not reality).
But the song has been completely ignored, both in the Papercuts compilation and in the current setlist. Mike brought the song a few times during the PT tour and the song isn't that big on streaming services compared to other hits, despite all the "drama".
Even One More Light has become the representation of Chester's mourning and "everything sad" on TikTok.
In the end, it's kind of ironic that a song that fueled so much online love and hatred have ended up in the worst place possible: Indifference. A song with barely any relevance as of 2025 and possibly years to come.
