From Zero

Linkin Park starts it all anew From Zero! I am hyped!

From Zero (Intro) - INTRO!! NR/10.

The Emptiness Machine - This very lead single that comes from Linkin Park and for its newest era bringing and entering in the scene, Emily Armstrong, which is such a fun attracting addition for the listeners to listen while having that absolutely refreshing sound that they have. It is warming, it does charms, it absolutely makes a lot of things work for the band. The structure is so good, the production in here is pretty simple yet it sounds absolutely catchy. I just enjoyed this track and the appeal it can get in there, I am stoked. 10/10.

Cut the Bridge - Having all of that grime right in the split second then crushing it through with some of the toughest ever production here, with some of the catchiest ever drums to have been produced from the band. I am really fired up on that really great start coming from Linkin Park and the verses and even in the chorus bringing in that pretty fun and energetic charisma that just radiates, bringing in that kind of aura. 10/10.

Heavy Is the Crown - For being the promotional track for League of Legends, I think this song in particular is an absolute bop, a real headbanger and a complete gift for all of the old fans of Linkin Park who would want to see their new style integrated a la Meteora. Obviously we can not forget about the insane screeching scream that is Emily's bridge that just continues for around 17 seconds, which is probably the best highlight out of this whole new album, aside from that, this track just brings up and makes so much great hype material. 10/10.

Over Each Other - Overhated. This track just somehow become hated for the most unclear and vague of reasons, I have questions; what specificially in this track that you just do not like about "Over Each Other?" I just found this track to be a beautiful Emily introduction of what they are capable of, bringing in that superb and as well contributing some emotional aspects for the track. The vocals from Emily are not that loud-toned but at the same time, it just does wonders how this works for them, and I appreciate them so much about their work. It is not my favorite admittedly, at first, but this track just continues to grow on me exponentially. 9/10.

Casualty - Emily's scream is right out of the gate very unexpected. They really know how to pull in strings and in ways on you never expect. The sound and the hardcore trend that they kind of did felt pretty much deviant from the rest of the track adding in some of the synths and the nu-metal style, but overall, what I really enjoy right out of this track is this really insane and incredible moment, integrating in that kind of interesting and intriguing blend of hardcore. I am definitely stoked and invested on that kind of emotion that they have brought right in here. 8/10.

Overflow - This track definitely beats in the bush for quite a little bit of time, though I tried to give this track the benefit of the doubt on blending in that mystique and the intrigue that they wish to kind of bring out. Well, in the end of the day, I just feel like this track just does not really work it all out for me, and even in Emily's portions and vocals here, it just kind of started pretty flat, and made little efforts on keeping my interest. It is more on a breather track as I could really expect, but eh, that's what things are. I guess. 6-7/10.

Two Faced - Unexpectingly, their final single right before the album drops, this track absolutely bangs. This kind of reminds me so much on their Meteora work, and even to the extent of sounding like their most popular track, "Numb". The rap in here sounds really raw and it just also brings in that clean edge as well in contribution of what they are wanting to bring in. It does feel a lot more rustic, much more them, and they do not really try to get that much forced into this kind of sound. Also, Emily just strikes this track the best that they can do, in the bridge. What a moment for sure. 10/10.

Stained - Definitely delivering in that really cool and more vocal track, that is definitely well contributed by Mike's verse in here that does real wonders on this album, which what they are really wanting to commit into more, overall just dragging and putting that into perspective at the very least. The structure is decently fleshed here, that is for sure. This is pretty much a well-written and as well as that a decently produced record. 8/10.

IGYEIH - Well, goddamn. Emily just brought in her most hardcore that she can definitely bring out, and there is so much power just riding on in this track as their very penultimate track, acting as such a great climax of this album, making a great impression, as well as that, having a very infectious anthem while also having that such powerful chorus definitely brings up that plus for them. Absolute props as well for the final breakdown in the song just sent chills. Fiery. 9-10/10.

Good Things Go - Featuring and finally bringing this track over, from the transition of the previous song prior "I Gave You Everything I Have", bringing in a much more emotionally striking song, it just pushes you to emotional states, others causing the listener to pretty much tear with the amount of rage and the amount of feelings that they just continue to screech, just climax after climax until they strike us in the end with some of their most realistic, and yet satisfyingly hurtful ways to finally ode this album farewell. 10/10.

Closing Remarks: The start of a new era of Linkin Park is a zero to hero story.
