I really like that sound and the shuffling technique I love from Rob is back ! I have to say I'm pretty hyped for the single to drop !
Got a little bored yesterday so I checked what Chester's vocals would sound like over an instrumental:
Even if this track ends up being the poppiest track the band has ever written for some reason, as many others have pointed out, it doesn't mean that's the route the whole album will take. The Catalyst sounded pretty much nothing like the rest of ATS. The only similarity it had to the rest was it's experimentation, and length. But otherwise ATS had multiple different genres on it. Am I saying LP7 will be the next ATS? No. But I also don't think the band would've put this much time into the writing process (longest since ATS if I'm not wrong) to just crap out a generic and simple pop record. Give this song (and the album) a chance guys. If you hate it, you hate it. Jumping to conclusions this early however, is stupid.
Fair enough, I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree haha. I hope so! I like the sound of the song so far, so I'd be perfectly happy if the album was a mix between pop and "going crazy" (or whatever phrase they used ).
This! I want some weird poppy experimental album with a nice flow and atmosphere. I would also love to hear some energetic rap songs by Shinoda, kinda like WTCFM does in A Thousand Suns.
One incredible thing about these boys it's that, with only one snippet of the song (the part chorus "holding on why is everything so heavy"), only whith a simple and short melody, they have put it on my head all day. Amazing!
I'm surprised with how close we are to the release of this single that you haven't heard anything. Usually the band let's the media hear half the album or something in advance.
I think you're right. But they were still touring in 2008 and in 2009 they reocrded New Divide and also toured a little bit. So 'the real studio time' might be the around the same amount of time if you realise that LP did not tour at all last year. Also I just watched Meeting of A Thousand Suns again in a long time and a really hope that LP7 will be in the same sort of creative space again.
And one more thing, it's only me or the electro melody of this clip it's very similar to Powerless and the drum bass like Final Masquerade?
What you think? We'll get something today or nothing until monday? I hope that in the next clip will be guitar recordings
Which guitars? LP dropped the other 4 guys out of the band. and become now an electro synth pop duo, with Mike on laptop and Chester on auto-tuned mic
Hey guys! first post on here but looking at the video at round 0:11, I think these are the song names on the board- Nobody Can Save Me ? ? Heavy Friendly Fire Invisible ? ? Out of Reach Can anyone make out the rest?
I always enjoy anything that linkin park puts out but the livings sound I didn't really enjoy. If its like living things 2.0 that will be disappointing. Hopefully with all these new producers they can get some awesome music then im down with that style.
Apparently there is also "Spiderweb"... I hope that this board doesn't mean that we'll get only 9 songs.
I'm worried that the low vocals that we're hearing right now will be the signature high Chester LP yelps that strain his voice. As much as I think Chester's voice is epic, he's not getting any younger and his voice is getting strained. I know he loves doing it but he needs songs where he can sing, not struggle with.
