The best song off the album so far. For me it goes Rebellion > Wastelands > Until It's Gone > Guilty All The Same. Buzzing for this album now although I don't want them to release any more songs. Too many artists now have this habit of slowly leaking songs until the release date.
Listening to a shuffle of the 4 songs and they, together, just make for an energetic batch. THP is gonna be such a good album I can feel it HYPE TRAIN IS ON THE EXPRESS RAIL
Wow! That FUCKING bridge!! What a great job by all involved. This is shaping up to be on the same level as ATS. Great stuff were getting!
Also, this is further proof that they won't make such a good riff with Brad or Mike on guitar, unfortunately.
It's currently almost 6 AM right now, and I'm still at Uni slaving away over a report. Listening to this just gave me a second wind. I'm pumped up as hell. I want to punch someone in the throat. Where the fuck did this come from? D:
Here are some of the reasons why this song is awesome. 1. It really does sound like a System Of A Down song. The palm-muted 16th note riffs, the drums, and the melodies. If you imagine Mike as Serj Tankian and Chester as Daron singing, it totally fits. I wonder if Daron himself helped the band write more than just the guitar. If not, Linkin Park does a solid version of System Of A Down's typical music. 2. LYRICS. Holy shit. Not only is this song filled with some very visual imagery, but the theme of the song is all about fortunate, privileged people who have never faced any real oppression feeling the need to "mimic" rebellions. This could apply to the band themselves, a bunch of rich late-30 somethings who write songs about feeling oppressed by some unknown force, or it could apply to America and certain peoples' extreme rhetoric. When they live in America.
Lyrically far stronger then the other 3 tracks, minus Rakim's part, I wonder if Daron had any involvement on that front, and for someone who is a big fan of SOAD, especially Toxicity, this song is a dream come true. Like others have said, pulling this off live will be a big ask for Brad.
So everyone loves this song?... hmm... In a minute or two people will start complaining about the structure
It's the best song they've released from the album, guitar wise, and the guitars were composed and played by someone else?
