LPU 11 Details and Tracklist Revealed!

Slip and Blue are surprisingly fresh. The rhythm on blue is so unique compared to a lot of other HT-era tracks.

 

Does anybody knows if i could buy the CD only (financial reasons).Even if i am not a lpu member.

 

I listened to the songs ... I just have to say that this one is really magnificent ! I actually love all the demos every single demo even more than the official , i really find that the style Linkin Park have with those tracks that are not official have something really and i don't how to explain . I love A.06 from LPU9 it seems something you couldn't imagine they do and Halo from LPUX just imagine if it was released in 2002? I love how every year they release an album with the demos , you just find how Linkin Park can do all the kinds of music you can't call them a rock band maybe a band with too many genres or has its own genre Hope i'm not annoying , ha .

 

I listened through the CD and this is one of the better LPU CDs in my opinion and it also makes me appreciate the new direction of Linkin Park that much more. These old demos are a nice flashback to the nu metal sound, but I just love the new sound and the Robot Boy demo was a great listen.

Here's to hoping for more ATS demos next year!

 

I kinda wish they would have used some of these Meteora Demos instead of some of the songs that ended up making the album, ie. Hit the Floor, Figure. 09, Don't Stay. It would have made for a more diverse sounding Meteora. I don't know, maybe it sounds more diverse because I'm not used to them yet.

 

I really wish Program was a complete track. But it makes for a fantastic instrumental. Hng.

 

Got to ask you something here. In whose demos exactly of the Meteora Era you hear "difference", more advancement and specially more technique?
Unfortunate is maybe the most different one, then comes Soundtrack (if we remove the powerchord) which eventually could be an old form of LOATR transformed into a new theme. The rest is simple, and not that different from the final product.
Broken Foot is the same o' same, same riffs, same guitar, fairly with less quality on single instruments as it is a demo, but surely not more advanced than Don't Stay or Lying From You IMO. Plus on the one sound in the first 2 seconds in the intro was put exactly the same kind of distortion than in Program's intro sounds, which is not a pleasant effect to hear over and over, nor shows any enourm creativity compared to what made the album. And... well that's it already, those are the only demos we got. What about Mike's comment saying Broken Foot is what all Meteora's demos sounded like? See A.06 = Broken Foot minus a couple of notes.
I agree the lyrics on the album are boff, and I agree Warner has to disappear from the world, but still there is a whole abyss in between of the demos and the final, platinum and multi-awarded product.
The real difference in their potential is eventually heared since the demos of MTM, surely not before.

EDIT: I forgot to mention Halo, which is surely a nice track, but not an improvement to Numb, it was just fresher to hear 7 years after Numb and after Numb got heared three billion times between live shows and TV.
One thing one has to remember, is that most of the tracks were unheared instrumentally. LP focuses so much on vocals to let some listeners catch the heavy riffs and eventually the drums, but the effects or little sounds are left behind in the background of the music. I saw some people saying they never heared the crazy synth in the end of Robot Boy until hearing the instrumental, just to give you the idea. Meteora, as every other album of LP, has nice effects and sounds in it, surely technically more elaborated than the simple demo distortions, which served to give a footprint to the direction to take, not to make up the clean sound of the finished version.

 

Demos are the good stuff before Mike flip it, change it here and there, make it special! Most of the songs are for all the other guys. Rob, Dave, Joe, Brad......hey that's right.......they're part of LP too! *chuckles* More the them then just purdy faces...

 

I want a SIB demo.

 

Same here

 

what 10 year old kid?

 

Lpu12 the real meteora.

 

I wish there was a site with a progress bar that shows how far the new album is. And an ETA. Probably scriptable, what would be the variables?

 

This, and the "reggae vibe" original version of Don't Stay.

 

I think your point of view is clear to me now, thanks Derek ^^ I wonder if the powerchord was kept for the success it had or if the band was so much in in love with it to try to smash it into some songs were it was so unnecessary. What is your idea of that?
Maybe the band needed to do a superb song without it to realize the music could be very alternative (Breaking the Habit-Session).
