I feel like FM is lyrically superior to UIG and UIG is musically superior to FM. I'd rank all the tracks as GATS>Rebellion>Wastelands>FM>UIG

In my personal opinion UIG is softer than FM. Also, in comment to the cheesy part, ive seen a lot of people say that (not here). On KTT and on the internet in general. Everyone seems to find it cheesy which I do not understand at all.
Love this song but..... This is in fact in my opinion the weakest song. I've listened to the entire album and its HEAVY in all the right ways. The entire album is magical but this song definitely was "Meh" for me. I believe its the songs that you guys havent heard that will leave your jaws on the floor. Trust me. My favorite song are the first 2. Keys and All for Nothing as well as A Line in the Sand. Trust me when I say this album will leave your jaws on the floor. In all honesty too much of the album has leaked already. It was a very smart strategy to release a song a week until the album release. Leaves less desire for most to listen to the leak. Even still, at this point I can tell you that what HASNT been released in where the Crack is at. Just Wait....
So anyway, of the seven other tracks on THP, are we just waiting to hear either instrumentals and Mike rapping?
I pretty much agree with this (Except for the weakest song bit lol). People shouldn't think they have this album figured out just by what has been released.
Thoughts upon first listen: classic, 100% staple The Rasmus. I like the guitars when the chorus is about to end, I like the lyrics, in fact I almost had it pictured in my mind without listening to it from the reviews how this song would turn out, and it was exactly how I pictured. Definitely not my cup of tea for genres, The Rasmus last albums was similar to this and I thought after the first listen it was a disgrace, I never listened to it again. I don't want them to go back to Dead Letters era neither, it's that everything just sounded raw and "lifeless" in a way. This same thing happens here, it's not the vocal delivery because there is no other way for Chester to sing it, the echos and "ohs" are just fine, but this just doesn't seem compelling to me, I can't connect to it.
I really dig it! Very cool song! It's perfectly poppy. For me, it would be: RBLN > FM = GATS > WL = UIG
First song of the 5 that I have listened to again in under 5 minutes. I really like it so far and the drums are nice on it. Organs might be prominent on this album, since they are on UIG. Just wish there was a better solo, but the "Green Day solo" that Brad does is actually kind of appropriate for this song, since it isn't meant for anything complex. I learned the song on bass on my second listen to it, and if anyone wants the chords: Cm-Eb-Cm-Eb for intro Eb-Gm-Fm-Cm for chorus 90% right on this. I think the verse is similar to the intro, I'll have to listen to it again. Anyway, I won't rank it until I have given it a day's listen, but my current ranking of the other 4 is as follows: GATS=Wastelands>Rebellion=UIG
