I'd agree that Casualty is more interesting, but I still don't think it's very good. For my ranking, spots 4-8 could probably go in just about any order

And with that, we are finished! The Emptiness Machine - 6 Good Things Go - 5 In an ending that honestly surprised me, Good Things Go has emerged as the victor of the LPLive From Zero Election! For those of you who didn't keep track at home, here's the final ranking: Good Things Go The Emptiness Machine IGYEIH Two Faced Overflow Casualty Heavy Is The Crown Stained Over Each Other Cut The Bridge From Zero (Intro) And here's how it stacks up against the staffs' personal rankings:

The Emptiness Machine - 1 IGYEIH - 7 Good Things Go - 3 IHBE WCHSTC Remaining Candidates 2. The Emptiness Machine 11. Good Things Go The Emptiness Machine

The Emptiness Machine - 1 Two Faced - 7 IGYEIH - 5 Two Faced went out this round, but who knows what could be next! Remaining Candidates 2. The Emptiness Machine 10. IGYEIH 11. Good Things Go IGYEIH

Seems like it's a race for third

Overflow - 6 Two Faced - 3 IGYEIH - 3 It's over for Overflow Remaining Candidates 2. The Emptiness Machine 8. Two Faced 10. IGYEIH 11. Good Things Go Two Faced

I think the "yeahyeahyeah" is a bit abrasive. Honestly a total toss up between IGYEIH, Overflow, and Two Faced for this round. Wouldn't really have an issue with any of them going out

Casualty - 5 Overflow - 1 Two Faced - 1 IGYEIH - 3 You all know the joke I'd make here Remaining Candidates 2. The Emptiness Machine 7. Overflow 8. Two Faced 10. IGYEIH 11. Good Things Go Overflow

Heavy Is The Crown - 6 Casualty - 5 Two Faced - 1 IGYEIH - 1 This is what you asked for. Heavy Is The Crown is out Remaining Candidates 2. The Emptiness Machine 6. Casualty 7. Overflow 8. Two Faced 10. IGYEIH 11. Good Things Go Casualty

Heavy Is The Crown - 3 Casualty - 3 Stained - 7 Guess you guys can't get it right every time. Stained is out Remaining Candidates 2. The Emptiness Machine 4. Heavy Is The Crown 6. Casualty 7. Overflow 8. Two Faced 10. IGYEIH 11. Good Things Go Casualty

Nah that was Brad's favorite part of the live shows. Some things should stay sacred

Heavy Is The Crown - 1 Over Each Other - 7 Stained - 2 Seems like everyone is already over Over Each Other Remaining Candidates 2. The Emptiness Machine 4. Heavy Is The Crown 6. Casualty 7. Overflow 8. Two Faced 9. Stained 10. IGYEIH 11. Good Things Go Casualty

He palm mutes and picks more aggressively than Brad does, and he almost exclusively plays everything with downstrokes. Points is probably the most notable example of that last part. The strumming pattern was pretty important to the sound the original riff had

If by "rhythm-wise" you mean off-beat, then definitely not that. Alex is playing to the click fine. His technique for a lot of the older songs (especially the HT ones) is fucking things up

Mike and Brad aren't infallible. Alex sounds REALLY bad on a lot of the songs

Cut The Bridge - 7 Heavy Is The Crown - 2 Over Each Other - 6 Lot of back and forth on this one, but Cut The Bridge ultimately got cut down Remaining Candidates 2. The Emptiness Machine 4. Heavy Is The Crown 5. Over Each Other 6. Casualty 7. Overflow 8. Two Faced 9. Stained 10. IGYEIH 11. Good Things Go Over Each Other

You can vote for any song that's still in the running

From Zero (Intro) - 9 Cut The Bridge - 1 Over Each Other - 1 In a very tight race, the intro track is just barely eliminated. Remaining Candidates 2. The Emptiness Machine 3. Cut The Bridge 4. Heavy Is The Crown 5. Over Each Other 6. Casualty 7. Overflow 8. Two Faced 9. Stained 10. IGYEIH 11. Good Things Go Cut The Bridge

I'll never skip the intros/interludes. The possibility of them beating one of the full songs is too funny

Alright! Been a couple years, but democracy never dies! For those of you that are new here or just don't remember (I wouldn't blame you), I hosted a series of elimination games for every Linkin Park album (and a couple bonus ones too) back in the day. Now that everything is back in full swing, and we've all had some time to sit with the album, I figure it's From Zero's turn. The rules are pretty simple: for each round, comment your least favorite song from From Zero, and after a day or so, the song with the most votes gets eliminated. The process repeats until we have decided as a community what the best song on the album is. 1. From Zero (Intro) 2. The Emptiness Machine 3. Cut The Bridge 4. Heavy Is The Crown 5. Over Each Other 6. Casualty 7. Overflow 8. Two Faced 9. Stained 10. IGYEIH 11. Good Things Go From Zero As is tradition, I'm sure round 1 will be very interesting and not an absolute landslide

I thought the same. Kinda surprised that one didn't come up

Song Ranking 1. Good Things Go 2. The Emptiness Machine 3. Stained 4. I Give You Everything I Have 5. Two Faced 6. Overflow 7. Over Each Other 8. Heavy Is The Crown 9. Casualty 10. Cut The Bridge Album Ranking 1. A Thousand Suns 2. Reanimation 3. Minutes To Midnight 4. Living Things 5. One More Light 6. The Hunting Party 7. Hybrid Theory 8. From Zero 9. Meteora

I'll post a full review at some point, but early impressions are it's ok. Not my favorite LP album, but there are definitely songs I'd put among their best. Good Things Go is truly stellar
