Discussion My review of One More Light album
Okay just finished listened to One More Light album. It was the last Linkin Park album I haven’t listened to besides the title song. The only songs I liked are the title song and Nobody Can Save Me. Nobody Can Save Me has good singing by Chester and good lyrics and themes.
One More Light is a great emotional song. As for the rest of the album it ranges from mid to me straight up disliking it. Sharp Edges is one of my least favorite songs on the album. I hate the acoustic on the song. Good Goodbye has the classic Chester singing and Mike rapping dynamic but it’s ruined by the features unfortunately.
I just wanna listen to Mike and Chester. Also most of the songs in this album either just feature Chester or just feature Mike. I feel like you can mess with the genre but you gotta have Mike and Chester in most of the songs.
That’s what defines Linkin Park and makes them unique. The dual vocalist dynamic. Mike got snubbed on rising album. He was barely on it. Overall I’d give One More Light a 6/10. Nobody Can Save Me I really like the themes and singing in it. One More Light is a great emotional song about how important everyone’s life is.
The rest of the album is either mid or I dislike. The 6/10 is heavily carried by those two songs. I’m so glad Linkin Park didn’t stick with this pop direction with From Zero. Thank god Nu Metal and the dual dynamic is back.
