Linkin Park "From Zero" Megathread

It's fire. Emily did Chester proud.

It's garbage. The Emptiness Machine was the only good song and Emily can't scream for shit.

sucks, most of these songs are just spin offs of past song sounds
3/10 at best

Production and performances are consistently on point but the songs are half good, half okay.

Heavy Is The Crown

Casualty

Overflow

Two Faced

Good Things Go

I'd say these are probably the keepers for me. It's fine. A few songs that were worth the comeback.

the duality of Anon Babble

That’s basically how every single thread here goes

post about band/song

”that shit is trash I like [insert other work here] better”

”shut up faggot/retard”

Literally every thread.

I liked Overflow and Casuality

Unfortunately, it's good.

C'mon, you have to admit that Heavy is the Crown is great

Stained is the only decent one we haven't heard yet. They should have given it a music video instead of Two Faced.

Stained probably sits with Over Each Other and Cut The Bridge as one of my least favorites. It felt like a One More Light salvage attempt.

no youtube link?

they're all on LP's youtube channel

the second half of Stained is an absolute banger, it's a shame it takes so long to ramp up tho

I don't even remember hardly any of it. Was that the heavy one? I remember there being a heavy one that was kind of like One Step Closer or Papercuts but with a really lame chorus.

but with a really lame chorus

I don't wanna be that guy but Two Faced's chorus melody took a little from Paramore.

I'm listening to it for the second time and my main gripe is it's way too poppy. I can't stand the background chants on Cut the Bridge but it is catchy. On Heavy is the Crown now and it's not bad but I actually wish it was MORE poppy, like there are a few parts where I expect the melody to go in a different direction and the one heavy part where Emily screams is just really trite and boring sounding. The backing track is cool tho.

listening to two faced again 10 minutes ago, I was thinking the exact same thing, and pulled up Caught in the Middle to compare. My conclusion was that the "caught in the middle" lyric is sung similarly, but that's about it. It wasn't as similar as I was thinking in my head.

not bad, but this could be any band in the world.

gotcha. Anything else?

Casualty fucking sucks.

Two Faced fucking sucks too.

Stained fucking sucks.

the obvious Fort Minor/Shinoda recycled parts

Good Things Go FUCKING SUCKS SO FUCKING MUCH HOLY SHIT

rankings:
1. Emptiness Machine
2. Stained
3. Heavy is the Crown
4. Over Each Other

everything else is bad

lead single was half decent but this album isn't good at all
par for the course for linkin park outside of their first 2 albums which were obvious flukes in hindsight

Lincoln Park? Those guys who made that one HL2 music video? They still relevant?

Okay, I'm just going to say it. This is actually worse than One More Light. At least that album had a couple decent moody tracks (Nobody Can Save Me, One More Light). This is just an utterly soulless radio pop rock rehash with only one good song (The Emptiness Machine). Easily their worst.

nah. While I agree at least half of the songs aren't great, the other half are at least fine/great, which automatically makes it their best album since Meteora

if it's worse does that mean emily's gonna hang herself?

There's zero chance this gets a worse reputation than One More Light, not a high bar to clear

I like the heavier sound but it's hard to take Emily seriously, she feels like a child playing pretend in her mannerisms and incredibly also in her vocals. Chester was also cringekino so maybe it's par for the course. She is very cute though

Cut the Bridge is fun as hell

based

Flop.

Really good:
Heavy is the Crown
Stained
IGYEIH
Good things go
Overflow

Good:
Two faced
Over Each other
The emptiness machine

Okay I guess:
Cut the bridge
Casualty

Overall, pretty good, Decent comeback.

i let you cut me open
JUST TO WATCH ME BLEED
