More ATS Notes From LPU Pre-Listening

wow! this album is going to blow our minds! I will probably be listening to this album from start to finish for a LONG time like I did with HT.

Edit:

What were you guys talking about???

 

I swear you stole 95% of my words.
I'd said, NOW THIS IS A GREAT INSIGHT!!
And gosh, i have chills and cannot wait anymore. I want desperatly to hear The Messenger too. 10 dayssss goshhhh like 10 yearssss

 

this is great "wretches and kings" is what will be so special I mean I personally love MTM I hope LP always changes and breaks barriers but its great they can still go back to their original sound even if we get one song per new album after ATS thats nu metal I consider myself eternally pleased ATS will be a definitive record for LP but more importantly for music something to shakeup the industry just like theroy did which just brings out the best in all music LINKIN PARK FOREVER!!!!!!

 

LPU was taking video of the event. Hopefully they will post some of it on the site. All of are heads were rocking hearing Wretches and Kings on a stereo system like they have in there. Hits like a train!!!

 

Yeah what was some of the stuff you guys talked about with WBR?

 

What did you guys talk about? Just wondering how the heads of WB treat this record. Did they try to explain the album or how they handle it?

 

why aren't y'all doing a podcast with some of the people who actually heard it? would make for a great listen.

 

Yea and I made the comment bout the end of Blackout and the head guy was like, "Well I guess we know where the radio edit will be!" I thought to myself, "they must really care what we have to say."

 

The guy who runs Warner Brother Records (along with some other guys we didnt know) were in the room with us discussing the band and the album for over an hour. It was mind blowing.

 

Anything in particular?

 

Well hes the guy who said what the next single one. He said this album had no outside influence, it was "the record the band always wanted to hear but never could." He wished he could have record some conversations with the band because he really enjoyed them.

 

The head brought in the REAL albums and packaging. He said it was the first time he had seen them also because they apparently just got delivered. I got a look at them. The deluxe one is reflective rainbow over the album art. Booklet was filled with abstract art. Almost like pages of lyrics but the lyrics were all skued and oddly layed out, you can barely read parts.

 

It's nice to see the head of WBR is as excited as we are. I need to look this guy up. Because if he's hella old, I'm gonna laugh so hard.

 

They were asking ALL sorts of questions, how do we like them live. Better indoor or outdoor. We agreed that it wasn't fair that LP be made to make Hybrid/meteora again.

 

No he's not old, he was actually really nice. All of us had to fill out a review of each song track by track during the listen.

 

Oh I didnt mention that I have been confirmed for the MTV VMAs in the pit in front of the stage. So I can give some feedback about how the catalyst sounds live.

 

Wrethes and Kings song give me a HOPE that i will have a song from the golden era of HT/Meteora !!

Excited as hell !!

 

From what it sounds, it really does sound like a journey.. the ups and downs, the calm, the intense... brilliant review.. can't wait to hear how it all mixes together.. i love songs that lead into the next and i feel like lp just perfected it
