My vote doesn't appear to be the most popular one: Halfway Right, Invisible, Talking to Myself. But that's just how I feel at the moment - my other favorites are Sorry for Now, One More Light and Sharp Edges, and these often reach my top three.
Exactly. I didn't pay attention to BID initial reactions much, but I think a lot of people were fond of UIG at first and slowly turned on it as being a boring single. Over time, I think this will happen less so to Heavy. I feel it will be a middle-ground song rather than a majority-thinks-its-the-worst song.
1. One More Light 2. Sorry For Now 3. Halfway Right I genuinely think One More Light is the best song this band has ever written. It's up there at the very least.
01. One More Light 02. Sorry For Now 03. Halfway Right (impressive how this song grew on me, this was one of the weakest tracks in the first couple of listens)
I do, actually. I love Nobody Can Save Me as well. They're really the only songs on the entire album that I like. I would have liked Jon Green of The Bonfires to produce the entire album, because he wrote and produced both of those tracks.
I get why it feels like the song to compare to, but for me, they're hard to compare. OML is super personal, while TLTGYA is a lot more "worldy" and talking about society/government than family. Plus, I tend to think TLTGYA is a lot more powerful because of the instrumentation and big sound of it, but that's clearly not what the band was going for in OML. If they had tried to build up OML with a big explosion of sound and made it a bit longer than I think it would be more comparable.
This album gets better everytime I listen to it. I stopped listening for a week or so and I had the urge to listen to every song (yes even Battle Symphony and Heavy). And they both sound even better. I really love this album.
