Absolutely fantastic throughout.
I love it that Vince does not waste our time with fillers, but instead delivers concise, straight to the point concept albums with a distinguishable sound where every track still feels different enough from the others to be worth its own spotlight. And wow, in this album he did it even better than in 2024s "Dark Times".
I love the post-punk/rock infused production, the sampling, the non linear song structures, everything is just absolutely wonderful ... read more
Fantastic EP, wish it was longer. Freddie is flowing the absolute shit out of these beats and spitting great bars throughout.
I think its a pretty solid comeback.
What I don't like about this album is that they didn't pick a clear direction in which to move forward - instead this album feels more like a fuse of all the sounds Linkin Park combined in the past.
Some songs are very good here while others feel very lackluster.
Favs: Overflow, Heavy is the Crown, Two Faced, Good Things Go
Meh: Over Each Other, Casualty
Powerful album, insane delivery and production, especially in the first half. Second half was alright but not on the same level imo.
Best: Stampede, Worldwide Scourge, Life Keeps Going, Situations
