You don't acknowledge UIG's existence either?
It's so bad I forgot about it.
I really do like FM. I wouldn't mind seeing another "soft" (read: not visceral) track or two on the album.
(I wouldn't know if there is another track or two as I haven't read descriptions)

Took me sometime to figure it out but now I totally get it. Nice one

FM went into a different THP album on itunes. Tried changing everything to be the same and now Rebellion moved over to the other THP.
So I have one with UIG and Wastelands and the other Rebellion and FM. How do I fix this?
EDIT: now Wastelands is all by itself in one THP album

I haven't listened to anything aside GATS and UIG, and I'm glad I didn't.
Nothing wrong with that. I think it would sound better on sequence in the album. I just love all the talk about carnivores and these are the singles. It's an okay song and sounds great musically. Just doesn't grab me.
Bawa Could wait to see tomorrow.

So, anybody else annoyed that every song so far has consisted of Chester singing the name of the track throughout the chorus and bridge? Sometimes almost the entire song has even consisted of it... (You don't know what you got Until It's Gone! Until It's Gone! *yawn*)
I love the music, but this is getting really boring...

you know how on the top it shows the catagories; radio, songs, albums, artists, genres. just go to albums and you'll probably have to change the font or something. same thing happened to me.

Thoughts upon first listen: classic, 100% staple The Rasmus. I like the guitars when the chorus is about to end, I like the lyrics, in fact I almost had it pictured in my mind without listening to it from the reviews how this song would turn out, and it was exactly how I pictured.
Definitely not my cup of tea for genres, The Rasmus last albums was similar to this and I thought after the first listen it was a disgrace, I never listened to it again. I don't want them to go back to Dead Letters era neither, it's that everything just sounded raw and "lifeless" in a way. This same thing happens here, it's not the vocal delivery because there is no other way for Chester to sing it, the echos and "ohs" are just fine, but this just doesn't seem compelling to me, I can't connect to it.
Come on man, you're ripping my heart in half here.. Lol.
Another guy pointed at the Rasmus-esque vibe here, and although I can see where that comes from, I don't think it has to be a negative thing.
And to be fair, I didn't see Rasmus' latest work as "lifeless".. First of all last two albums are too different from eachother because Desmond Child got his hands in one of them, but still there are some really good deliveries there.
The "oh's" are a TR thing, granted, and for example of their latest work I think "The Fight" is a pretty good one. Lyrically, Rasmus always sways from friendly/romantic writing to fiction (with a pinch of angsty stuff sometimes), so in context, there could be similarities, again not necessarily a bad thing.

Also, in terms of connecting with the listener, there are quite a few from their latest work that evokes emotions, at least in me. I think Sky, their self-titled's album closer is a pretty good example of that, it's not meant to connect with you as is "relate" to the theme, but to get into a character.

I will totally respect your points of view and give you fair play for that, but I don't think neither Final Masquerade or some of TR's latest work sound "lifeless"

I did and it didn't work
Make sure everything under "info" and "sorting" is the same for each song.

What's the first line of the chorus? "lighter gonna rise on, its brighter yesterday"?
Enable the thick "Part of a compilation" on each track info and check if the "Sorting" tab information is equal on each track.

Obviously the fans of the heavier style LP won't like this, At first listen I thought it was alright, but after a few listens I am loving it! As with pretty much every linkin park song for me though XD. It will be a nice radio hit that will make older fans mad once again but true LP fans should enjoy this one! Chester's best vocals of all the album songs that have been released!

I'll be honest, I was very interested in this track for the cool title, but that interest went away after reading reviews on how it was either the slowest track or second slowest (right after Until It's Gone), and of course my dislike for Until It's Gone made me believe this song would be crap too.
This track (and I NEVER say anything like this because its simply cheesy to me) is absolutely beautiful. The lyrics, Chester's delivery, the band as a whole. Just one of those songs that gives off an awe-inspiring feel. I was blown away by GATS and Rebellion and at the same time disappointed by Wastelands and UIG, but this has brought a new feel, one of nostalgia. It gives off a very Minutes To Midnight vibe, I'd compare it very much to Leave Out All The Rest with an uplifting touch.
Just as a quick description for those of you that haven't listened to it and are holding back - Starting off with a similar drum beat to that of Fall Out Boy's "Sugar We're Going Down", the track quickly becomes a drum focused song with violins and synths assisting in the background, giving off a very atmospheric vibe. Chester does not hold back at letting the listener know this will be one of his more diverse vocal performances. The first chorus (similar to the bridge) displays Chester along with the violins previously mentioned and slowly builds up into a light rocker much like the chorus to Roads Untraveled, as Chester sings about a false relationship, "you said it was forever, then you slipped away. Standing at the end of Final Masquerade". From this point on, no one holds back and continues playing, following the typical structure of verse 1 - chorus - verse 2 - chorus - bridge - chorus. The song ends with Rob's full on attack on drums and Chester's "ohhh"s until it slowly comes to an end. As mentioned before, IMO, this song has elements and feel from both LOATR and RU, so fans of either track might easily take a liking to this one.

I'm surprised no one has asked this but does anyone know how exactly this leaked?
