    Living Things isn't my favorite album but this song just stands out to me and I really love it's message. Am I the only one who feels this way?

    "Roads Untraveled" is one of my top-favourite "Living Things" songs. :)

    I love it, I'm actually considering getting a tattoo that says "Weep Not for Roads Untraveled"

    It's my favorite "experimental" track from Living Things, and I'm still keeping my fingers crossed for its live debut :)

    But Robot Boy has many backing vocals, synths, guitars and many little "stuff". And Roads Untraveled not. If they played In Between, then they will play Roads Untraveled too.

    It's a nice song on its own, and I like it.

    However, it's a bit repetitive. And it broke the flow of the record a little bit to me. A 4-min slow piano ballad just didn't felt right after Victimized :lol:

    Not one of their best songs. A tad too slow for me, but it took me about 5 years to appreciate Shadow of the Day so eventually I might find some appreciation for Roads Untraveled, by 2017-18, lol.

    I have mixed feelings about the song. I really love the lyrics and Mike/Chester's vocal performances, however it should have been much longer and more progressive. I feel like the song could have been bigger than it is.

    Those stupid bells shouldn't be there for the entire song; they take away from the rest of the song. But now I'm being completely picky, so I'll stop.
