I just listened to all the songs/clips. I definitely liked the first and second songs quite a bit. Not sure how I feel about the third song instrumentally. The lyrics are great and Mike sounds sincere singing them. As for the last song(s), I liked the instrumentals of the second half but didn't care for the "da na na's" too much. I hope this either gets actual lyrics or becomes an instrumental. Edit: Is it highly likely that all of these songs for the OST are based off of old demos from previous studio sessions? There's still a chance that some of these could be original concepts for the movie and have no earlier versions.
Actually, you know what, fuck it. This type of material would actually make an awesome LP album. Hearing the aggression from the first song with Chester and then the really slower melodic stuff with Mike sounds fantastic in a contrast. I wouldn't want a whole album of just one or the other, but the combination of both would make for a really interesting album.
I actually think these clips are pretty much "meh". I'm glad they went in the direction they did for The Hunting Party. Of course I'll save my full opinion until listening to them in full.
Now that we have THP, it's easy to have a higher craving for more melodic, easy-on-the-ears music. Before THP, I was so thirsty for some balls-to-the-wall shit. LP completely delivered with THP, and I love that album so fucking much. Now, however, I wouldn't mind this different direction...if elaborated on more, it could be pretty interesting.
I'll be disappointed if LP give us another heavy album next. I really enjoyed THP, but the reason why I love LP so much is because of the continued diversity. Hopefully the heavy is out of their systems.
Don't forget only Luna (Trailer) and White Noise (Opening) are the only finished ones, the other ones are unfinished demos.
Yeah. If a song not having all six members in it means it isn't an LP song then THP wouldn't be an LP album because Joe is nowhere to be found
Without any doubt. And then there's the song we heard like a month ago with Mike singing "And my sun it don't shine", so it seems like there may be 7 new songs on the way. I'd still like to think that White Noise isn't finished. It sounds so good, and I'd love for it to have more to it.
I can't find LeftShoe's mall trailer music soundcloud upload Does anyone have it? That is the same song as the second video in the OP
Yep fully aware of that. Which makes it all seem more absurd to me how people are reacting to unfinished demos as "holy shit balls to the walls amazing", and as if The Hunting Party already doesn't exist. I understand how heavy rock isn't everyone's cup of tea, but some of these reactions seem a little over the top.
