I've gotten up to Mark the Graves, I'm listening to that one right now and my favorite so far is The Summoning/War.
Keys To The Kingdom 8,5/10 All For Nothing 9/10 Guilty All The Same 7,5/10 The Summoning 5/10 War 5/10 Wastelands 8/10 Until It's Gone 9,5/10 Rebellion 9,5/10 Mark the Graves 6/10 Drawbar 7/10 Final Masquerade 10/10 A Line In The Sand 6/10
The band has drastically stepped up their writing ability in all facets in this album. Both lyrically, and in song structure. A very welcome and much needed improvement.
I've streamed the entire album without interruption. Were there supposed to be 'commercials' or what have you? >.>
Keys to the Kingdom - 10/10 All for Nothing - 9/10 Guilty All The Same - 9/10 The Summoning - 7/10 War - 10/10 Wastelands - 6/10 Until it's Gone - 6/10 Rebellion - 10/10 Mark the Graves - 8/10 Drawbar - 8/10 Final Masquerade - 9/10 A Line in the Sand - 9/10 pretty solid album.... gotta say!
all for nothing really sucks, the chorus is awful, chesters "you say" is really stupid. since the first time i heard it i wanted to skip it, this song is annoying as hell lyrically? some of the worst lyrics ever by them, but a few great parts too.
I'm glad for you. And also jealous. I wish I could love and experience this album like I did the first time I heard ATS or even LT (even though I don't like LT nowadays)... I had tears in my eyes the first time I heard Burning In The Skies and When They Come For Me. I couldn't sleep and I couldn't wait to wake up to listen to it again. I was so happy and wanted to share it with the world (read LPA). Listening to THP felt tiring. No excitement, no chills. Nothing. Now I feel like an outcast since everybody else is loving it. So fucking sad.
I'm in love with ALITS, it's such a rollercoaster ride that i've never experienced in any LP song. But i couldn't help but notice the similarities with some of their previous stuff... I mean, the main riff is pretty much Victimized's riff with a twist, and the chorus is basically GATS's chorus with other lyrics. Did anyone else notice that or am i hearing too much? lol
The first 1:15 minutes of A Line In The Sand is close to being the best thing LP has ever done. But the rest of the song takes a big shit on it. Chester's chorus sounds like absolute arse. Jesus.
Really? Lyrically I rank the albums ATS > (Castle of Glass slides up here a bit) > THP > MtM > LT > HT > Meteora
No, you're right; and I'm not sure whether I like it or not. On the one hand, it definitely works and sounds great, but at the same time, it seems lazy to recycle riffs like that.
