no way. This is way different. LT is much more layered and energetic. ATS had more intros/longer outros and it let the music seep through and wonder off in the distance more. LT doesnt let you breath and is more in your face/firecracker like mike said. Both share similar electronic noises and both are different when compared to HT/Meteora/M2M, but to me ATS and LT are in the same experimental realm, but at opposite ends in that realm if that makes sense
You're listening for the angst-filled words, but not taking in the full theme beyond them. IMO anyway.
I think VICTIMIZED is too short, so I tried to make a longer version of this song http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=52wbFevEp4I&feature=youtu.be what do you think about it?
i think you should let it be, because thats the way it is/was meant to be and all that. Leave it a lone. How dare you mess with the battle axe
Then go listen to the hundreds of other rock and metal acts out there that suit that need. Linkin Park has never been one of them.
I had the chance to listen the album on iTunes... HOLY MOTHER OF GOD ! .. THE BEST 37 MINUTES OF MY FREAKING LIFE ! This album is just PERFECTION CONVERTED INTO MUSIC ! I'm gonna be the first one in my local store to buy this masterpiece In addition, I think iTunes should put the album up again... They already leaked it... Maybe it's better that the fans that can't wait for the release can listen to the album in a "official" source instead of all that illegal shit out there... Anyway, I will wait for my second listen until June 26 ... Today was the Pre-Listening
No offense, but it's long overdue for the Hybrid Theory fans to accept that Linkin Park isn't going back. Living Things IS Linkin Park now. Denial would be absurd. It could be argued that Minutes To Midnight and A Thousand Suns weren't entirely Linkin Park, in fact I would almost agree that they were different faces to the band. But face the truth - Living Things encapsulates everything Linkin Park has been and done since the Xero days.
Ok, here I go trying to rate this album after listening to it from front to back 4 times. I clearly needed this time. Lost in the echo: 10/10 Reason: It is a mix of everything linkin park has done so far, with an extrem HT feeling. Classic Lp. In my remains: 10/10 ( favorite ) Reason: loved the structure of it, but I needed a few times to let it grow on me. Now it is one of my three favorites! Burn it down: 8/10 Reason: I totally love it, but needed around 40 listens to be able to say that. That is probably one of the reasons for beeing the first single. It is the reason for only 8 points though. Lies greed misery: 9/10 Reason: a hughe fuck in the face. I'll be gone: 10/10 ( favorite ) Reason: Owen pallet did a great job. The whole concept is epic and the beginning is catchy as hell. Castle of glass: 10/10 Reason: didn't expected that, but that's what I love about Lp. Clearly deserved 10 points. Victimized: 8/10 Reason: we'll, it is good and fits into the album, but it is too short to be listened without the whole album. Still it makes the album better so 8 points are totally deserved. Roads untraveled: 10/10 Reason: can't understand the critismn of you guys. Best lyrics linkin park have made (at least in the top 3). Skin to bone: 9/10 Reason: I like it, but it sounds like house of rising sun to me, which took one point from it for me. Otherwise, great song. Until it breaks: 10/10 Reason: experimental as hell. Sounds like 4 different songs in one with having one part sung by brad. I am praising the experimental thing! Go on linkin park!! Tinfoil + powerless: 10/10 ( favorite + best album closer by Lp) Reason: it makes you feeling like you just heard a revolution and now you are at the end and you are happy that you took part on this journey. I love it. Totally. In total: 9.99/10 Well, enough said. Replay character and the best rating I Gave a linkin park album. They topt a thousand suns for me.
