It's funny that Colin said GTG came together in a few days/hours when we saw that there were files since like 2019. I wonder if he truly forgot or straight up didn't know

Ooh, “50 songs” and a specific mention of a hard song w a Latin beat, gold mine haha

the gang vocals on the unshatter chorus are kinda cool! I still the song is pretty meh though and I'm surprised they bothered to play it live

Well I feel like he could be saying that about FZ era which is understandable, but he also has flipped moods dramatically (2009 metal demos to ATS, or pop demos to THP) so I wouldn't count it out at all

I'm so curious to hear whether we'll ever get anything as out there as WTCFM or The Catalyst again. I feel like between some of the Crimson chapter and Overflow, Mike is hungry for some new sounds, but definitely kept FZ fairly safe and cohesive for the comeback

You know I'm really dying to hear whether there was ever a version of the chorus that could be sung "properly" live. It's not the first LP song to do it by any means, but it always drives me crazy how the song is written in a way that you can't do the second "Up from the bottom...I tried escaping" part without just skipping some words. It sounds so awkward live imo, I feel like it could've been rewritten a bit. And I think it's interesting that the song was written with the rest of FZ in mind and having played some songs already and wanting to play it live, yet they went that direction

I didn't think Castle of Glass would ever leave the set, it feels like WFTE in that it's a unique song that Mike is proud of and is popular enough to warrant the variety Maybe it's not popular in the region? I wonder if they've ever pulled data about certain singles not being popular in certain areas to determine setlists at all

So much teasing, and the deliberately blurred computer screen too. Hopefully this year we get LPU demos, a demo version of TEM and such would be the perfect way to reignite those songs a bit and get it to the billion stream mark

At least Second To None got into Transformers, I probably would not know it without that.

Did not know! I love still finding stuff like this The album is incredible, I'm sure the most interesting stuff though is probably any tracks between now and back then that Mike considered for a follow-up. Like those that we had heard about around Welcome and stuff we've seen like I.O.U.

Ballad Medley is one of my favorite things they've ever done live lol, imo much more interesting than just Iridescent. Super cool way to get 3 choruses people love into one coherent experience.

IMO they should just change GTG to acoustic or something like Lost or Crawling 2017, let her sing it in a super comfortable key and don't try to make it powerful, cut the rap, etc. It's a great song that could easily carry over into something beatiful and it doesn't work super well trying to be replicated live rn

I wonder if we'll get the instrumental/acapella of the deluxe tracks, LYF instrumental is here

I often think that Mike overdoes the harmonies live, but here they really come off well, and his singing in the verses sounds better live than I thought they would too This is overall actually so much better than I ever imagined this song sounding live

Anytime we get a clean recording of the faint outro it's a win I kinda wish Emily locked in for the HITC scream here tho
