It's obviously an important part of the band's vision for how a show should go; it's, the lights and gear are all there anyway, people worked to develop those visuals etc. Its not a waste and it's not just dead noise, its intriguing and interesting to most of the crowd who has never seen it go; it's
Cool, but I kinda wish it was a more cherry-picked soundtrack from across the tour. Surely they nailed a ton of other songs much better on other nights, not to mention songs that they weren't playing yet like the WFTE intro with WYG
That's cool, I was wondering when TEM would get an intro/outro. Can't wait for the next tour to see how any of these songs get changed, I bet TEM will get an extended intro like WID or ND
Amazing show, I'm a little surprised to see they did Overflow given the vibe they seem to have been going for the rest of the show. would've expected something heavier or just something not as slow
yeah that makes it seem like it's definitely video content, so either a concert film or a music video, and I'd think a concert film.
the only other thing would be some kind of remix album with maybe the Unshatter remix leading it (I'd love From Zero reanimation) but it wouldn't fit the movie motif
Yes! Especially bc some are the debut show which have mistakes etc. Also would love to just have pro mixes of the WYG intro, the SIB intro, Faint outro, LOATR etc.
I still believe this, very solid analysis lol. The instrumental in the video sure is interesting tho, doesn't sound like OML. It kinda reminds me of Unshatter, so maybe reflects a "new" sound they were doing that didn't materialize
That sound is still in the mix, it's just buried and it has a similar texture to a guitar
Yeah in the Drumeo video Colin says "about 50 songs" and he also talks about that one specific to the challenging beat we don't have a name for
Then there's "Vertigo" as a title that may or may not have seen some attention later on
Dave confirms an alternate version of the song where basically the chorus chords are used as the big "wall of guitars" drop in the intro which I can totally see
Mike saying that the bridge is the thing that makes the song worth releasing is funny bc I feel the same. The rest of the song is pretty meh, but that bridge and outro are great
Someone at one point says they're working on 4 songs, so there's a 4th we don't know about it seems? Maybe the thing that is blurred on the screen in the making of UFTB
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
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
