Album Rating: 2.0

Living Things is definitely the most inoffensive LP record from the original lineup, so that tracks honestly.

Album Rating: 2.5

Living Things beats this, but it has Chester. It’s fully apparent to me now, and I strongly suspected this before, that LP without Chester just doesn’t do it for me. Chester was the heart and soul of LP, and was one of my favorite bands. While Emily is a solid “replacement”, I just can’t get into them like this. Wish I could.

Album Rating: 1.0

can one really say she's a 'solid replacement' tho? i mean, considering how much the band has lost all its draw without chester 😬

Album Rating: 2.5

No, I couldn’t say that lol. I guess that’s why I put it in quotations, but regardless, poor choice of word.



She’s a fairly talented singer. But no replacement for Chester. That’s more accurate.

Album Rating: 2.0

As a semi-defender of Emily’s performance on the album I hate to say it, but I really don’t like her vocals much anymore.

She’s fitting the bill technique-wise, but she has none of the personality and emotive capability that Chester had.

Emily’s performance is functional but kinda boring to listen to.

Album Rating: 1.0

i think her vocals sound very generic (?

Album Rating: 2.0

Ya she’s nothing special but I think she’s a net positive for the band (performance wise at least, not even gonna touch the scientology nonsense). Honestly probably my favorite part of the record are her vocals and I think she does a fine job live from what little I’ve seen.

Kinda off topic, but if you rearrange the Deluxe Edition tracklist into a more cohesive experience and cut some of the dull/inoffensive tracks, From Zero definitely feels like a more enjoyable album overall.

Album Rating: 3.5

Finally got around to listening to the deluxe version, some awkward parts here and there but I think overall a pretty decent record. I think her vocals are pretty dope and I don't get the hate for them continuing lol. Obviously Chester is always gonna be synonymous with LP, but if you wanna get technical he wasn't an original member like everyone else is. It's everyone else's band too and I think they did a cool thing by kinda switching things up with a female vocalist to not try to replace/overshadow what he did. Like I said, kinda clunky in places but I am excited for what they put out next, as they seem to kinda switch up every record. I really liked the bonus tracks. Let You Fade reminded me of some old radio rock and like Antenna by Cave In for whatever reason lmao. If they pursue that sound it could be an awesome record.

I've grown to be more ok with the Deluxe Edition.

Skipping the more boring tracks + the extra 2/3 songs bumps From Zero fairly considerably. I'd say 3/5 for DE.

Album Rating: 1.5

no matter who they picked to follow up Chester it was gunna be tough. But they went down the most generic boring route they could have. She add's nothing different and doesnt do what Chester could do.

Album Rating: 2.0

Yeah I still stand by my previous criticisms of how generic the new record can sound - I hate 'Cut The Bridge' so much.

Don't really care for this, but Emptiness Machine goes kinda hard. Mike just needs to stop singing

Album Rating: 2.5

This could've been a decent EP if the tracklist's been halved. Stained the only good song imo.

Album Rating: 3.5

The bonus tracks are better than the weakest tracks here, so I can comfortably reshape this album into a solid 4 (the standard album is a 3.5 for me).

Album Rating: 1.0

that's grim

Album Rating: 4.5

The more I listen to her vocals, even live, the more I like them.



She's pretty cool

Album Rating: 2.5

Yeah love her vocals for sure. But man, Cut the Bridge is one of the worst songs I've heard this decade...Just revisited the deluxe edition of this, production is a lot more flat than I remember it to be. An agressive vocalist like Emily could really use more mids in a mix.

Over Each Other works pretty well with that mix though, such a nice little song.

Way too many songs that have some potential but fall completely flat sadly. I like the idea of Overflow but there is so little execution there.

IGYEIH has sick vocals but can use heavier production/writing.

Still a disappointing record with good potential for a follow-up.

The Emptiness Machine is by far the best song here. Funnily that is one of the songs without co-writers...

Bonus tracks are fine, for sure not worse than the worst songs here.

But that's LP; always a mixed bag. I just wish they continue writing music, seems from the videos they still have fun doing it.
