​@py16667 Hating won't bring chester back. Let people enjoy things. It could very well be someone's top 10 especially if they didn't grow up with LP like we did. She is a good edition. Time continues to move as well as the world. We all absolutely miss chester but some of you so called original fans piss me off.

[@MajorHattery]

I agree with you, Emily is a great fit for the band vocally. That scream was awesome. The video is also really visually interesting and just cool overall. As for the song as a whole, it's got that classic Linkin Park sound/feel and is just a banger. I love the not so subtle meaning behind the lyrics and the fact that Emily gets to scream "This is what you asked for!". After hearing two new songs off the new album, all I can say is that Linkin Park is back!!!

[@McBushington]

That massive scream perfectly sets up Faker's entrance. Love everything about this.

[@guimbitencourt]

"Heavy is the Crown": This title resonates deeply, reflecting the challenges faced by both Faker and Emily. Faker contends with the immense pressure of maintaining his legacy as the greatest of all time, while Emily grapples with the overwhelming void left by Chester's absence. The parallels even extend into the lyrics, what an incredible track! 🔥

[@BlackScisir]

wow that's amazing

[@Kiwi2703]

It really is awesome how the lyrics apply to both the LP and the LoL situation. Mike is super clever and the song is an absolute banger.

[@multanomultano232]

Maybe Faker puts that pressure on himself but his legacy is sealed, he is and will always be the goat of League of Legends, he is the unkillable demon king

[@ish3557]

it sucks because worlds mv has been existed for winner of worlds until now but this mv is for new vocal of LP that is not related with worlds 2023.

Watching this live in London was incredible, seeing Emily live in person brought jt all together and really showed how she moulded with the rest of the band. The crowd chanted her name more than once with acceptance and the atmosphere was euphoric, one of the best days of my life 🤙🏻

[@kaakden]

Love your reaction! This band seriously drives the world crazy. I’ve been following them since their album release 'Living Things.' Since then, I’ve noticed that every album has its own unique sound. The most experimental one, in my opinion, was 'A Thousand Suns.' I can’t wait for their new album dropping in November. I feel like the new album will be a great follow-up to Linkin Park's legacy from their last two albums (?) not sure, but I’ve got a feeling it’ll be similar to 'Living Things' and 'The Hunting Party.' Exciting stuff!

[@mathies3598]

There's actually gonna be 16 teams participating in the main event, 4 of which still have to qualify through a play in tournament thats happening right now out of 8 teams! In the video, the previous world champions, T1 from South-Korea, are taking on their challengers from various regions. (China, Europe, NA and south america represented here respectively) it's not a single team they're facing here, but rather a several players representing various teams. So the narrative is them defending the crown against all their new challengers.

This is what you ask for... Emily making a statement with that scram telling haters thts what u wanted.. Now take this..

[@ЮрийЖуравлёв-э3ч]

Yes, i've also think the chorus is a message to Chester Bennington's fans who criticized him and the band for making the One More Light album too 'pop'. This was one of the reasons that contributed to Chester's passing. Of course, I could be wrong. But the song feels as heavy as Linkin Park's earlier work.

[@KBRoller]

I love that she can do the screams, but I think personally I prefer her softer, clean vocals even more. Her vocals on the ballads she's done during the tour -- Lost and My December -- are hauntingly beautiful! I do hope there's at least one ballad on each album going forward, to showcase that.

[@py16667]

@@ЮрийЖуравлёв-э3ч bruh stop making up reasons why a dead man took his life when he can’t be here to correct that or actually tell us, that’s so messed up. OML backlash more than likely had nothing to do with it, the band had gotten plenty of backlash in the past, & he had more than enough real reasons to be struggling like he was most of his life as many bad things happened to him that were actually significant & traumatic & they piled up at the end of his life

You can thank Mike, but especially the new drummer Colin. He was a producer for Arcane’s anthem, 2017’s “Legends Never Die”. Mike also knew folks attached to the “Arcane” project, enough to be at the live premier of S1. It’s who you know, you know…?

Rayactions, the team in the castle is T1. It is the greatest team in history with 4 world titles. Faker, the leader and one getting out of the door at the end in the video, has been in the team throughout all those championships and it is acknowledged as the GOAT of league of legends. As the last world champions, they will have to defend their titles in the next world championship so that is basically what the song is implying.

rumor is that scream was purposely cut 2 seconds before Chester's longest scream as an homage to him

[@GamingWithDaarin]

I feel like that scream was her version of a Chester 17 second scream and she killed it she’s so amazing and I think the right fans will come so I’d gladly brush the negative LP fans in the past and this is a new era with a new version of LP and new era of style of music for LP so as long as they focus on them and don’t worry about certain fans opinions they will be great

[@rodzalez3549]

OK see this is what I was talking about. This is what they needed to do for a hit. I think this is a hit. I was skeptical at first but now I'm not. I was scared that they were going to be the same Linkin park that was for chester for this new singer. What they did here was be what they needed to be, a new band, new sound for her that fits her.

[@davidhines7592]

At the chorus.. I get vibes of Rise Against- The Good Left Undone.. the pacing!

[@down813]

Most definitely.

[@JesseCohen]

The new album title (From Zero) is a bit of a misnomer. Yes, it’s the old band name, prior to being LP (but spelled Xero). I’m all for a good word pun. That said, Mike and Co. know what they’re doing. It helps enormously that so much of what LP did 20 years ago is still relevant today. The 20th anniversary of Meteora was no joke, especially with the release of “Lost”. Mike took notes. New vocalist has you dreaming of picking up the crown again? Start with what worked, build from there. Genius!

[@jayhosh8126]

The song is great in every way, the layout, Mike's raps, the screams, the catchiness, all of that, but the one thing I don't like as much is that the lyrics don't touch deeply like their other songs, the lyrics are...more generic and less relatable than their other stuff, it's just saying holding a crown bleeding saying "this is what YOU asked for", which I get the message, but it all ties up fine because this is a song for a game, it's basically LOL featuring Linkin Park, so it's different from what they typically go for but it's still powerful in all the other ways that matter, so I definitely dig it for what it is.

[@Vadimaster]

You can bet that the lyrics in some of the other songs of the album will be deeper and more poetic, like we’ve seen in the Emptiness Machine. This appears more shallow, but it fits LOL. And even with more basic lyrics, “Heavy is the crown” also applies to Emily, having to pick up the mantle of Chester. And boy does she deliver. She wears the crown alright.
