    About Burberry, they said lyrics first then music.
    I think that once they wrote "X" lyrics, they went for some old music that maybe could fit/merge to those lyrics.
    And they revisited space station.
    Besides i can listen to some new layers that are not present in the 2012 starlight space station.

    What worries me is that i really never liked space station and now, it is the base for a new song in LP7.
    I hope it changes drsticaly.

    For me the best from LPU16 is:
    1. More demos: With all the critizism abouth quality i hope next year the band brings us another LIVE UNDERGROUND.
    2. Symphonies of Light, now i really wish this song would have been finished and included in ATS.
    3. Dark Crystal: I think the band has enjoyed too much of netflix. Firs time i listened it, i was transported to the opening song from stranger things.

    Catalyst is definitely mixed differently, sounds dope though. New lyrics are cool.
    Would love to hear Can't Hurt Me with vocals. This is super dope! Really hoping that's from after THP because I would love LP7 to sound like this!
    Not feeling Dark Crystal/Air Force One/Bleed It Out (The old lyrics are awful)/Consequence A/Symphonies of Blinding Light
    Consequence B is not bad. I could see this being developed into a sick rap rock song but with a Chester singing over a Hip-Hop beat instead of Mike rapping over rock.
    Lies Greed Misery and Blurberry are dope! Definitely two of the better tracks.

    Overall Can't Hurt Me is my one takeaway for these demos. Not the biggest fan of instrumentals, especially unfinished but I really Like what I heard here!

    My favorites:
    1. Can't Hurt Me
    2. The Catalyst (almost the same song and I love that song)
    3. Lies Greed Misery

    Funny you say that because the band actually met with the poster artist for Stranger Things in the studio. Perhaps the band was VERY influenced for this record? :lol:

    Stranger Things premiered in 2016 and the song was written in 2015. Stranger Things composer ripped off LP = Confirmed!!!! :kappa:

    Am I the only one sad about the CD being pressed in limited quantities ? Since I live in France and that taxes are FRIGGIN EXPENSIVE I'm sure I won't be able to have the CD in time. I'm gonna cry.
    On a side note, I didn't listen to the album for the moment.

    I did´t know that :bounce:

    It would be amazing to have a song that CREPPY


    About what kevin said, If the the song ends up being so freaking amazing, we will have another rey parker´s ghostbusters and queen´s invisible man scenario. :rofl:

    I sincerely hope all of their new album is a rock/synth hybrid... Hunting Party with something like Dark Crystal?

    Hell.. I'll take the whole album sounding like Dark Crystals/ Air Force One

    Not a fan of the artwork, at all. It honestly seems lazy to me when looking at past art styles/themes for other underground albums. Oh well, I'll take what I can get :lol:

    Zero guarantee that anything on the LPU CD is gonna appear on the final album in any form. :sleep:

    I'd argue there's a high likelihood that it being on LPU 16 means it won't be on the album. :shrug:

    I dig all the demos. But hot damn why was the acoustic Catalyst not finished. I never knew I wanted an acoustic version of that song so bad in my life. Also the LGM demo was pretty cool got this arabian flavor which I like. The new instrumentals are also pretty rad. Also Dark Crystal: is that something some might consider trap? cause it reminds me of it. Or at least what I heard that is labeled trap music.

    There's no ambiguity about the trap elements in "Dark Crystal", it's out-and-out trap.

    This is very true. That or, if one of these songs are currently in consideration for LP7, it's probably changed so much from how it was in 2015 that it's not even the same song anymore. The band has rarely ever released songs from the current recording cycle on an LPU CD, and the only other example of this that I can think of was A.06 on LPU2 (2002)...a track that featured in an early Meteora web advertisement, but never appeared on Meteora in any shape or form.

    "Space Station" is one of my favorite demos by the band, and I wouldn't mind them developing it more.

    Yeah honestly I don't get why some people don't like it. Honestly, the updated (but shortened) Space Station [Burberry] was one of my favorites on the CD. It's definitely not the same track just shortened. They added layers and changed some things slightly.

    Dark Crystal sounds great! Hope the new album is more along the lines of this than Air Force One.
