guilty all the same is not risky compared to some other songs in THP and ATS was all about taking risks
Guilty all the same was pretty risky given how it was released without any prior notice and how loud it was for mainstream radio.
I must be really behind on how to find leaks, but judging by everyone's reaction, I'm not missing much.
I like the song. I was expecting a song like this, so I was not disappointed. It's a matter of understanding what they have said all this time and adjusting to it. I didn't expect a pop album, but that's what we are getting so I opened the song expecting a pop song. And I enjoyed it. Chester's vocals are great. I believe they will clearly be the highlight of the album, and I am happy for that because it's been a while since that happened. Chester's voice has been hurting a bit in the last couple of albums, even though I think he did a good job on THP (but look at ALITS for example, great great song but his vocals just didn't deliver), now he is on a ground where he definitely can prove again that he is still a great singer.
THP never aimed to be ATS. Like the album or not but the band showed visible technical growth on that album.
Look im not expecting them to do their old sound or another hunting party or even another ATS. LP has this sensational ability to go into any genre or sound of music and make it sound good. In the case of one more light imo I dont feel the hit every album previously gave me. The band has never ever received this much hate for an album before not even for ATS. honestly if all their songs are in this tempo imma be on my phone when they play live then go ballistic with everything else they play.
It sounds more catchy and has better lyrics than Heavy. Would have been great if they released it as a lead single instead.
I stil don't understand how they have gone from "i hate disney-radio music" to "hey, swallow our disney-radio music". I do understand LP changes and don't have a genre, but this is too much for me. I'm disappointed. Everything i love about those guys was left behind. I didn't want to say this, but feels almost like a treason. I hope they do well on charts, anyway. I wish the best for them even tho sometimes they forget or don't seem to care about the fan base that put them where they are. I may be overreacting, but that's what i'm feeling right now after listening to this song. Just wanted to put it out.
First reaction: boring. I have no desire to listen to this a second time. OML and TTM sounded promising, so please, please, please let the rest of the album be better than this.
These are linkin park fans on here right? Jesus, most bands release new material and the fans are excited. Lp releases something new and a bunch of music critics come out of no where. "It's over produced, the lyrics suck" etc.
