I don't want to simplify this too much. First of all, experimental and risky are not antithetical - an album can be risky due to experimentation....
To clarify - there's an analytical side to this (e.g. songs that actually have the same notes/melodies etc. - requires detailed analysis to do...
Not worried about it being naively optimistic - my point was that there would be some benefit in considering these things (call it self reflection...
Think this should all be put into context before one claims this record is 'risky' in the same way another record might be called risky for better...
This is some good banter from the band :shinado:
Yea I feel people are clinging to the 'LP sold out' or the 'they should go back to their roots/stick to certain genres' mentality too much - and...
Rather than thinking of what the band's intentions were (or making ridiculous statements about what genre(s) they should be doing), might be worth...
So this 'update' is not to give any new information on the album or say anything different than what they've said about previous albums, it's to...
What I'm hearing sounds look LP doing more and more Pop (that they did predominantly in LT) rather than explore new areas as such. Its not...
If no one knows about this yet... https://www.facebook.com/mikeshinoda/posts/911885882254000?pnref=story Looks like we're on point.
What I'm weary of is that they're taking more time than usual due to the different approach they're moving forward with(songwriting first,...
They're taking longer to release a single this time round compared to the last couple of albums. Maybe we'll get a double concept...
Reminds me of the Living Things sound and the lead melody style I liken a bit to the bridge in "Welcome". Does feel like there is some indie/folk...
Maybe so if what we hear on that video isn't likened to the sound of "Living Things" and the bridge in FM's "Welcome" :p
Hmm I wonder why Mike held up two fingers at the end of that video...
Sure this video isn't much to judge on the album, but it seems LP are dealing with the same concepts they always have been here. They seem to be...
I think in terms of whether people's expectations from the hype can even be closely matched by LP, will mostly depend on how far the band is...
Well I wouldn't quite insist that it would work, there are other factors that determine this such as how they artists work together and their...
That would be really refreshing to have at this point in LP's career. If Mike thinks again to surprise the fans like he did with having Rakim on...
Agreed, no more "how many screams on the album?" (in before that happens closer to the album release date). I think the key is that they develop...
