The final chorus brings it back to the feel of the first and second verse, as a final set of guitar strums repeat along with the echoed/fading vocals.Ī very modern sounding track, but a highlight. The second verse kicks it down a bit as the lyrics shape a person who is fed up with someone who doesn’t want to change. This is some good retro sound here! With a keyboard building up those drums to an eventually addictive riff for the first thirty seconds (The Killers or Tame Impala feels), excitement builds as we give Bennington a chance to explain his side of the story on the way to chorus (“ You keep running like the sky is falling/I can whisper, I can yell/But I know, yeah I know, yeah I know/I’m just talking to myself”). Artist Stormzy asserts his own rise from the ashes (“ Goodbye to the cold roads, I can’t die for my postcode/Young little Mike from the Gold Coast”), emphasizing how things can change when you’re able to purge hindrance from your life’s path. So polished in fact, that Pusha T’s lyrics, (“Were you there for him?/Did you care for him?/You were dead wrong”) seem to solidify the songs’s title ridding yourself of toxic energy and negative influence seems to be hard at first but it’s even more difficult for the one who can’t, or refuses, to be of good spirit. The chorus continues with the polished sound that LP is known for post- A Thousand Suns. The album eases into the next track, with Mike’s rapping, meshing well with the background percussion. Lead singer Chester Bennington creates a soft open with heavy lyrics, “ Waves break above my head/Headfirst hallucination,” a truth for many who face issues or situations only they can rescue themselves from, but not without difficulty! The song opens with a bit of a trap sound, with whirrs and eventual percussion, similar to many pop songs as of late (say Twenty One Pilots?) due to its easy-going feel on the surface. No matter how far they seem to veer, they can’t help it. Linkin Park is true to their start here just a tad. Does the new album stand up among Linkin Park’s rest? After Minutes to Midnight and A Thousand Suns, the band has continued into a space where they don’t try to do one or the other, but continue to blend, blend, blend, creating familiar yet new sounds group-wise, for the indecisive, open-minded listener. For fans since their iconic debut, there were a few bumps along the way due to a shift in the band’s sound and members taking time to explore their new musical interests. Linkin Park released their seventh album, One More Light, on after a few months of behind-the-scenes footage on their YouTube channel, along with a few standard lyric videos promoting its various tracks.
