I can't find a legal or illegal way to listen. I'm off my game. I'm pumped that there's 6 instrumentals, though.
Wow, not diggin' "Oh No" at ALL. How did this end up being POA? EDIT: Wow, I had some really good opinions/reviews of the tracks and genius me clicked "back" in my browser -_- so, short version... Unfortunate = uh, yeah, no. What We Don't Know = LIKE PTB, but not better, IMO. Oh No = yeah, "oh no" is right - how'd this become POA? I Have Not Begun = some of Mike's best work, but no buildup in song. Pale = SHOULD HAVE BEEN ON AN ALBUM WITH LYRICS. Pretend To Be = still boss. Divided = Mike has too much fun with Pro Tools sometimes, clearly, but Rob is a beast. What I've Done (M. Shinoda Remix) AKA Distorted Remix on BIO single = why is this on here? Coal = can't imagine Mark or Chester on this, but maybe Mike. Maybe. Sounds like Xero tried to write ATS. Halo = Sounds like it would have been a beautiful song but I guess similar to Numb and Numb definitely packed the bigger punch to be on Meteora. All in all though, LPUX > LPU9.
NBC stands for National Broadcasting Company. Mike was kind of doing a play on words, and a very clever one at that. Btw, "Coal" is INCREDIBLE for a song made back in 1997. It really seems like LP had the ability to write an ATS-esque song even back in the day. It's insane that such good music from that time period is in the vault. I hope we hear some new Xero with vocals someday.
I figured it was supposed to be wordplay. I still found it sort of funny and ironic though, but that's probably just me haha.
No I too saw the irony lol. Maybe he didn't release the track because he realized that NBC sucks. (They forever lost my respect for their royal bufu-ing of Conan)
I will be conducting my review of each track in the form of a haiku: Unfortunate Piano reminds me of Nine Inch Nails a little. Strings and beat are sex. What We Don't Know The vocals are 'meh'. The instrumental rocks, though. The bridge is better. Oh No Took me by surprise. Definitely a highlight. What more can I say? I Have Not Begun I lost faith in Mike Did the verse here restore it? P-prob-ba-ba-bly. Pale Piano, drums, synth and strings. Suddenly, GUITARS. TEN THOUSAND OF THEM. Pretend To Be I like this song tons. I don't know why. So random. Like Derek's mom. MILF? Divided Some really nice synth I really like the drum part Perfect to cruise to What I've Done (Distorted Remix) It's still a good song But yeah, I gotta wonder Why this song again? Coal This doesn't sound old. Okay, the drum parts a bit. Atmospheric groove. Halo Love the guitar here No vocals, I can see why Difficult to fit?
Wow....Meteora had some amazing instrumentals. The intrumentals are nothing like HT but the vocals would have been mehh so glad there aren't any. What I find just amazing is how there is a noticeable difference in style between the albums and these songs. You can automatically tell which one is from which era.
What We Don't Know and Pale, own it for me. I was muttering along even before I finished my first listen.
