So good - I was looking for a cover that pumped up the final chorus because to me it felt like the original wanted to do that and held back, and this delivered on all fronts.

@@_widas_ haha! I was getting my head chopping blade ready, so I'm glad you mentioned it🤣 I can sort of respect that. Something i didn't really mention in the review, is that if they didn't name this LinkinPark. Make a new thing and promote it. No one under the age of 25/30 would ever listen to classic LinkinPark ever again if they weren't existing fans. This way they're still able to promote, perform, and generate fans for the existing discography. Whatever gets new fans to listen to older LinkinPark, makes me happy.

I get that. I've been thinking about this a lot. Honest question, If this exact album was released under a different band name, with the exact same band. Being sold as "mike senoda's new project with returning LinkinPark members" would that sit a little more comfortably? And If so, wouldn't you agree that if the music is good, it doesn't matter what the band is called?

This is BY FAR Boi What's BEST song... And that's saying A LOT seeing how he has Plan Z and Neon Tide out and BOTH of those are BANGERS!!! What really did it for me was how badass Plankton was in comparison to sweet little Sandy... Sandy was saying "So give me all you've got my love. This town ain't big enough for the both of us...". In her sweet little squirrel voice... Then Plankton comes in SCREAMING LIKE A FUCKING ANIMAL and goes "BOTH OF US DIE!!!!!!"... LIKE A STRAIGHT UP FUCKING BADASS!?!?! I just realized after like the 10th listen that when the AI says "Executing Plan Z" then there's this EDM breakdown... That's actually a CONTINUATION of the original EDM breakdown from Plan Z!!

During Plan Z when they say they're going to use "Plan Z", then it goes into this BADASS EDM breakdown JUST like in this song!!! I think the EDM is actually the musical manifestion OF "PLAN Z"!!!

And now, some Emily came up with her Vocals, which I do love personaly, and make me a fan of LP in my 40'. 🤷 Thou what I said, when I heard Emp.machine while released, do not know why I cried like little bitch...it was so emotional for me thou a was not the real fan 🤷 I saw every one live concert of theiw tour with Emily and her voice fits the old stuff great. Waiting for the end, My december, Papercut and others and others...and how they fit together with Mike singing together is awesome. Already have the new album and it is freakin good.
