100% agreed about the manufactured nostalgia



I'm okay with it 😂

I think the people who are falling over themselves to praise this are just desperate to see any form of rock music that isn't nashville-poisoned country crossover slop on the charts. granted, so am I, but said hypothetical music really, REALLY needs to be from bands that weren't formed before I was born.

Yeah I'm happily falling for the nostalgia bait with songs like Heavy is the Crown and Two-Faced



That being said, what a fucking world where Poppy was the release I ended up replaying all day and not LP

burst out laughing at "stop yelling at me", there's manufactured nostalgia and then there's just straight up turning into self-parody

Preach, new Poppy slaps.

Minutes to Midnight was when the cracks started to appear. I beg to differ on Living Things because that album was Linkin Park trying to readjust for how terrible the last two albums were…



For every Alice in Chains reunion, you have a million unsuccessful and disrespectful Linkin Park reunions done in order to fund Scientology.

Poppy definitely blows this out of the water



That said, this is a fine comeback album -- plenty of good to great songs here. They did themselves no favors with the track ordering though, they should have front loaded this thing with Heavy is the Crown, The Emptiness Machine, Casualty, Two Faced, and IGYEIH, then just strategically placed the rest to minimize the thud of terrible songs like Cut the Bridge or Over Each Other. Good Things Go is a fantastic closer.

Really enjoyed reading this, I think you nailed it with regards to the hollowness of the album

Thanks Tuna, wish the album was better.
