Album Rating: 2.0

I like Burning In The Skies and The Catalyst but I'm indiferent to everything else pretty much (well, with the exception of Blackout which is terrible imo). Irisdescent sounds like a 30 secods to mars song and Waiting for The End is catchy but just ok. Wretches and Kings and When They Come are supposed to be the hard hitters but they just come and go. Robot Boy is just a long interlude. The Messenger is a nice closer, though.

Finally listened to this. It feels like there's a blueprint for a great album here, but it's ruined by some shitty arrangements and super boring piano.

It kinda feels like Linkin Park trying to do an American Idiot/Demon Days crossover, and it's just as gloriously inept as that mixture implies.

Album Rating: 3.5

Haha, that's actually a pretty apt comparison. Definitely feels like there isn't enough going on here sometimes. When They Come For Me is the middling version of Wretches and Kings, and Iridescent is just a more contrived rehash of Robot Boy, both of which are just. Eh. The Messenger is a nice sentiment, buuuut I just can't stand the vocals.



Then you have the interludes, most of which feel pointless but I get what they're going for. That leaves five songs that are (in my opinion) really good... But that's it. Just the five.

Album Rating: 3.0

This is a weird album. Both overrated and underrated simultaneously. Robot Boy, Waiting for the End and Blackout are really strong songs. I would've killed to see an entire album based off of Blackout's sound. But on the same album are duds like Wretches and Kings and When They Come for Me. What really kills the album for me are all the random interludes, really REALLY breaks the flow. I wish some of the songs could've used some electronics more in their sound like Burning in the Skies and Iridescent to keep them from sounding like MTM B sides.



I guess that's a common opinion though.

That’s too many fucking suns, Linkin Park! That many suns would be very dangerous indeed!

"Wretches and when they come for me are the best songs wtf"



Well its okay, no big deal if you like those you're entitled to your opinion. I just can't get into them. I find them too odd from the rest of the album tbh.

Most of the album is poor emulations of pseudoscience and vanilla bollocks like Robot Boy and Iridescent, so seeming odd in comparison isn't a huge leap

When They Come for Me is just not good, Wretches is alright but would be better with a better rapper and without Chester's godawful Jamaican affectation.

While this album is kinda bloated, the highs on this album make this easily their best non rock album IMO

Album Rating: 3.0

Didn't they only make like, two non rock albums though? Lol

Album Rating: 3.5

If we're lumping this and living things with one more light as "non rock" albums, it's 3.



Which is almost half their album discog
