Burn it Down is still the only song that I think is outright bad, so I guess I feel the same as I did a year ago. I'd still put it about on an even keel with ATS -- solid but unremarkable.
It's doing fine. I'm surprised that I still listen to it pretty often even though it's been a year, considering that I believed that it was inferior to ATS and HT. Wait.... GOOD LORD HAS IT BEEN A YEAR? D: I feel old.
When LT was first out, everyone was so mesmerised by it (particularly LITE), and I couldn't figure out why. Now all that love is gone and, as it seems, I like the album more than most people here.
When ATS came out most of fans were sending negative comments about it as they didn't like that sound change being to electronic(minimum guitars). And when LT was released fans loved it and like that sound as in my opinion it represents what LP sound should be(final evolution);giant mash up of all albums. It sound is like they mixed up MTM and LT but when you listen it very closer reminds you of HT,Rea,Met. Now fans change their mind saying that ATS is better than LT. In Croatia 80% of reviewers belives that MTM is their best album,while ATS is "a brave change with minimum results".Unfortunately LT highest grade was 6/10.
