Anyone ask Lp about their Original Sophmore Album?

Has anyone ever ask Lp about their original sophmore album? The one before Meteora..wasnt it finished but they just trashed it or something like that? Someone should ask Lp about it in a Chat thingy and ask if those songs will ever be released..Idk Its just something interesting i wanna learn more about

 

I always though that the sophomore album was a joke album like LPU8, don't they they The Wizard Song while talking about it on The Making Of Meteora?

 

I think Halo and Unfortunate are from that era. You can hear the difference between Meteora and these two songs.

 

I'm kind of disappointed. I believe that they were going for some experimental/ambient feeling with their sophomore album which would lead the road for Minutes to Midnight. Why LP cannot just take those demos and if they have some good vocal tracks combine them or at least record some new ones? I believe that they result would probably be up there with the quality of A Thousand Suns. I really want someone to make this question to a band member in the next LPU chat if possible.

 

The band states outright in the Meteora documentary that their hypothetical "sophomore album" was terrible and that they had written enough songs to overcome their sophomore curse, as if Meteora was their hypothetical third album. They were distancing themselves from those early demo tracks to start with. If the band doesn't feel like its worth the effort to finish those songs, then why would they feel any better about them now? It's not like the case with Across the Line where they felt it was worth it to finish the lyrics and everything; the demos they released from Meteora didn't warrant their further attention. Why would they go back and work on an old song they already shot down before when they could make a new song instead?

 

Linkin Park's sophomore album was their best album! My first lp album was Meteora and it's still my favorite everyone should be on the radio

 

Took me a second, then I understood.

 

How I feel too, still their best album for me.

 

Wasn't the sophomore album Reanimation?

 

Well, probably because these songs had a specific feeling to them and now they will never see the light. Also if there are for example some more mature vocals of Somewhere I Belong i would really like to see LP put an album that totally upgrades the songs that we ended up with. I mean some of the demos cannot be THAT bad, compared to what we ended up with in the final product.

Yeah...such a wonderful and mature album...

 

Not sure if you're being sarcastic, but the lyrics are very much aimed at teenage feelings I think, we all relapse back into that at times and need a good kick to the face from Meteora.

 

I would love to hear this too, I don't think we've had a single demo from that 'era' in the LPU ones. They all sound like they belong in Meteora.

Also, lyrics suck because of Don Gilmore/Warner, not because of LP.

 

No shut up Meteora is so mature because it talks about feelings you have as a grown-up like when people ignore you or being in a bad relationship

Breaking the Habit is about Chesters drug addiction thats why he says the first time he sang it he almost cried

 

Because at the time LP was still happy of that sound, probably. I'm almost sure some of those demos belonged to that "sophomore" record.

 

My point exactly! I mean, who doesn't want songs that relate to their numbness, breaking bad habits, trying to tell people to stay away from them because they've been hurt so much and their need to find a place where they belong? I know i do. People don't get the artistic side of the album. It's just that there is so much beaty and maturity when i hear lyrics such as "Somewhere I Beloooooooooooooong!".

 

Exactly, that album has such a great lyrics like "Eeeeaaaaaasier To Run" or "I've become sooooo Numb".
