I think her base mask would be a mischievous evil grin, but she'd wear a puppy dog crying face on top of of to manipulate people into feeling sorry for her.

This is the only way I can think of to make an "opposite" version of Gangle that doesn't just self-implode. Gangle is kind of her own opposite as is. But the difference here would be which mask is the "real" one.

For Gangle, it's the tragedy mask. For Evil Gangle, it would be the comedy mask.

Or Avatar (the blue aliens.) You know, stories that are tribal yet sci-fi. WTCFM has that tone. And it would have been really cool to see it included in something like that.

Some examples of what I'm talking about:

Bad Guy by Billie Eilish

Heathens by Twenty One Pilots

Enemy by Imagine Dragons

Look What You Made Me Do by Taylor Swift

Control by Halsey

Basically, songs where the singer sounds like a psychopath. Cold. Calculating. An ominous tone overall.

A lot of modern artists have made a point to make at least one song like like that.

What would you say is the closest Linkin Park ever got to that same vibe?

It's essentially the best unused demos from Meteora 20th Aniversary addition compiled together in a short playlist. It's on their official YouTube channel so it's not just some fan compilation. This is legit.

For all intents and purposes, this is basically a whole other album.

If you ever wanted Meteora 2, this is it.

Look at all of their previous work before From Zero. Since the start of their career, Linkin Park has always been about experimenting, pushing boundaries, and making music like no one had ever heard before. Even when their albums were divisive, like One More Light, Living Things, The Hunting Party, etc, there was always a clear vision. And it was always radically different from what came before it.

Now look at From Zero. Whether you personally like the album or not, stylistically, it feels like they were just trying to do Meteora again.

That's why I predict that Overflow might be a sign of the direction they'll go next. It's the only new song from them that feels like they were actually experimenting and pushing boundaries the way they used to. I've never heard anything else like it.

If I'm right, then this might be similar to how the songs from Minutes to Midnight that sounded the least like Meteora were Shadow of the Day and Leave Out All the Rest... and then the next album - A Thousand Suns - was almost nothing but songs with that same vibe (Robot Boy, Irridescent, Burning in the Skies, etc.)

I suspect this is gonna be the same sort of thing.

You guys need to listen to this masterpeice if you haven't yet!

It's the original version of I'll Be Gone, from Living Things. But it's a different song all together. The chorus is completely different. The context is more immediate a more human. The bridge has the added line "there's nothing that can stop me... from going home."

It was appearently intended to be on A Thousand Suns... why did they not include it!!!???" Put it in right before Iridescent and it would have added so much! It reads like a soldier going to war, not knowing if he'll come back in one piece. It could have given the whole album so much more of a grounded perspective that, as is, isn't really there.

Also, "miss me when I'm gone and don't let anyone take my place."

I do Chester. And no one can ever replace you 😭

So there's a storm going on outside my window right now. Shadow of the Day came up on my playlist. And the thunder crashed in loud as hell and... Holy shit! It added so much to the song!

This tracklist would be peak

1. Wake
2. Given Up
3. Leave Out All the Rest
4. Bleed It Out
5. Shadow of the Day
6. What I've Done
7. Hands Held High
8. No More Sorrow
9. The Requium/The Radience (merged)
10. Waiting for the End
11. Blackout
12. Wretches and Kings
13. Wisdom Justice Love
14. Irredescent
15. Burning in the Skies (the better version of Fallout)
16. The Catalyst
17. The Messanger

Completely random and stupid I know

I saw another post like this recently and I thought I'd throw my hat in the ring

​

1: Caffeine - the most socially acceptable drug

2: MDMA - the love drug

3. Adderall - lock in. Focus. Get shit done

4. Psylocibin - introspection/creativity

5. DMT - explore the secrets of the universe

6. Alcohol - it numbs anxiety and lowers Inhibitions

7. LSD - ...I mean... come on!

8. Cocaine - no chill whatsoever

9. Weed - ...do I even need to explain on this one?

By Evenescence

Personally, I think it would be sick!

Personal opinion of course

New fan here. Been going back listing to all their albums.

Something about the repeated "amen" in the background. Just... wow! It's like the explicit lyrics could either be drowning or a baptism depending in how you read it... which are kind of polar opposites. I've never heard anything like it.
