It's a bummer that we have to buy the Bundle if we only want the physical LPU15 CD. In Portugal, we risk to pay extra taxes that easily makes the final thing to cost nearly 100€. Meh…
01. ANIMALS (2011 Demo) 02. Basil (2008 Demo) 03. Pods 1 of 3 (1998 Demo) 04. Pods 2 of 3 (1998 Demo) 05. Pods 3 of 3 (1998 Demo) 06. Chance of Rain (2006 Demo) Plus 6 more songs every next month. Disappointed.
I actually really like the system of releasing a new demo every month. Six demos is more than enough to satisfy us for the time being (assuming they're good and not just glorified sound bytes), and this way we get something every month to keep us going until the album drops.
Having the songs in physical format is still loved for some. At least I hope they release them in lossless.
You can listen a preview of the 6 track here http://linkinpark.com/releases/linkin_park_underground/lpu_15 !
Oh ! 3 songs with vocals, it didn't happen since LPU12 if I remember well ! Animals and Chance Of Rain sound cool !
