Funny Victimized was my most anticipated song and it was almost like " we'll try to make a Linkin Park song " But couldn't really do it so it was not even two minutes cuz they cousin figure it out
Favourite : Lost in echo, in my remains , I'll be gone , castle of glass, victimized Roads Untravelled least favourite : Until it breaks (expected the rap to be faster, like the one during live) Lies greed misery and Burn it down (both LGM AND BIT were my favourite till i listened to all the songs)
The only song that didn't really catch my attention was In My Remains And of course, Burn It Down. Everything else is f*cking great.
I tried to define 'wveryrbing' on Google. The closest match was wavering, therefore the person is saying: "The bridge/ending ruins shake with a quivering motion" Double wut
I'm surprised at how many people didn't like Victimized. For one, heaviest doesn't = Most like the old LP. Also, I didn't find it to be too moody either, it generally had the same vibe to me straight through, just in different faces. ... and I find it f*cking sick.
Victimized is the shit! Probably one of my favorite. I love how random is the transition between Mike soft vocals and Chester screamed thing.
In order. 01. UNTIL IT BREAKS 02. LOST IN THE ECHO 03. CASTLE OF GLASS 04. I'LL BE GONE 05. IN MY REMAINS 06. POWERLESS 07. SKIN TO BONE 08. ROADS UNTRAVELED 09. LIES GREED MISERY 10. VICTIMIZED 11. BURN IT DOWN 12. TINFOIL .......I think, well for now anyway.
The rawness the band once had? This band started off as Depeche Mode with distorted guitars and rapping. It's not like they were at any point verging on Big Black territory.
I don't really like how Mike is singing in some of these tracks like SKIN TO BONE, ROADS UNTRAVELED, just to note some off. He sounds like some drunk with his mellow toned voice, but thats my only complaint, I really can't hate any of these songs or have a least favorite because all are truly amazing, but if I were to say a favorite, it'd probably be CASTLE OF GLASS and LIES GREED MISERY
I am a little disapointed by the album, the first half was AWESOME but the second half kinda lost me, I need to listen to it more times but after a first shot, I wonder what went trough all the head of all those magazines who said the old LP was back First half : Awesome ! Lost in the echo is the best In my remains is beautiful Burn it down is good Lies greed Misery is good and fun to listen I'll be gone is a good, love chester's chorus Castle of glass : probably the most surprising song of the album, I love it ! Really nice feeling ! Second half : Not surprised or disapointed Victimized : I'm a HT and Meteora fan, but this is song is too much noisy, worse track of the album Roads untravelled : Didn't catch me, I feel like they tried to make the song epic, but couldn't, it didn't surprise me Skin to bone : same thing, nothing special, I won't listen that much to it in the future Until it breaks : I don't like it, Mike's rapping, and the christmas like ending, not a fan of it Tinfoil : Instrumental, nothing to say about it Powerless : Not epic, the light songs from ATS are way better
Best : Lost In the Echo, In My Remains, I'll Be Gone, Roads Untraveled, Until It Breaks, Powerless Worst : Victimized, Skin To Bone.
Worst songs: BID and LGM. I can still give BID a pass but LGM to me is obnoxiously bad and annoying. The rest of the album so far is fucking mint.
Best: Lost In The Echo, In My Remains, Victimized, Powerless, Castle of Glass, Roads Untravelled, Lies Greed Misery Worst: They are all not that worst, but not so good as the others. - Burn it down and until it breaks (wtf is dat shit?)
Favorite : Lost In The Echo, Until It Breaks Least Favorite: Burn It Down Now that we have the whole album, it makes burn it down sound like crap
I have to say almost everything got my attention, mainly because of how varied all the tracks are. I loved Victimised, not for the "brutal vokals" but for Mike's rap verse. It sounds awesome with the beat. I'm loving Lost in the Echo, Castle of Glass and Until it Breaks quite a lot. But I need to listen to the album a lot more to decide which songs I don't like. That being said, I tend to wait for Burn it Down and Lies Greed Misery to finish more eagerly, if only because I've heard them before and want to get into the other tracks.
Okay, I changed my mind. Roads untraveled and Powerless are magic. Normally, I like the "old" Meteora Style, but these songs
After few more listenings, I can clearly say that there are two parts, first six tracks are perfect, the last six, I will have to work on them, but I'm not sure that I'll listen to them as much Castle of Glass is so cool, it's THE surprise of the album for me, I will buy the album as soon as released, it's a good album, different, but good. Lot of fun listening to it
