Oh boy. So much to say on this one Mike different vocal approach in the verses is great. Reminds me of Turnstile, and he's a fan of the band, so I could picture it Starting verse 2 the same way as verse 1 before switching to a rap verse is a cool twist Bringing back the rap verse in the outro makes it less like a random add-on, and more like a consistent feature of the song I though Mike sounded soooo "nu-metal" on that rap-verse (P.O.D), but I really don't mind Guitar work combined with the shoegazy elements gives off big Deftones vibes Once again, Mike and Emily vocals combine seamlessly. A strong characteristic of the FZ era Emily vocals are really good, but Mike is the one shining the brightest here The pre-chorus is poppy and catchy, adds more colors to the song The bridge is beautiful, raw, intimate. And I like how it switches to being a more atmospheric piece when Emily vocals come in Great soft-loud dynamics. Heaviest Linkin Park ballad, or LP most atmospheric heavy song? Hard to say, and it doesn't really matter. But it's a great combo Touching lyrics, however you interpret them If you don't want to read all the above : Awesome song
Glad I'm not the only one who thought this. There's a real nu-metal bounce to the final chorus and I was trying to pinpoint why.
I love how the chorus is different everytime: The first one being the regular/standard The 2nd changed to the pre-chorus half way through And the 3rd one is like an outro with the vocal overlaps Papercut style
