Oh man....after hearing this preview of the new Linkin Park album, I'm even more hyped a week from Tuesday Linkin Park can add Folk to their genre now as you can hear in one of these songs in the preview. I dig it and I hate folk music...people ask why I love Linkin Park so much and I'll tell you. Because they are the most diverse artist out there, most creative and not afraid to try new things tell me another artist that does Hip Hop, hard rock, soft rock, metal, pop, electro, reggae and now folk and probably more genres and make it work? Thats why this band will never lose a member to creative differences because they invite that in to do something different. With Linkin Park, you never know what your gonna get and thats exciting to me, every other artist you know what to expect. I guarantee you people that say that they don't like Linkin Park just haven't given them a chance, I guarantee that everyone on here will like something from them.
Lost in the echo: 10/10 sounds absolutely epic Skin to bone: 9/10 amazing beat and general sound Castle of glass: 10/10 lovely singing (sounds like mike and chester together), probably closest track is Shadow of the day, that kind of softness, but more folk-y Until it breaks: 10/10 mega beat, mega sound, mega singing. Epic again. ^^
Don't really like the snippet of LITE but the rest sounded amazing, can wait to hear this album ! BTW, you should see this : http://musique.jeuxactu.com/intervi...-living-things-avec-mike-et-phoenix-11859.htm
For me,the best song was castle of class. IT was so so so melodic that i was speechless. IT IS So much bEautiful .UNtil it breaks was also good
Welp, Skin To Bone looks to be my shit. Also they weren't fucking around when they said Castle Of Glass has kind of a countryish vocal melody.
Everything sounds great! But with that said, Skin to Bone sounds fucking amazing! It's going to end up as one of my favorites, I know it.
I may be early to say this, but I have a feeling this will turn out to be my favourite linking park album
As with any LP previews, there's rarely a single consensus about them...and my opinion also tends to differ from the crowd. I included the other two songs from a couple days ago. Lost in The Echo (9/10) - Out of everything we've heard so far, this feels most at home to me, in terms of LP. Sounds like LP but with a new spin, definitely in the right direction, and in the new preview you hear Mike getting ready to drop a verse, it's pretty sick. In My Remains (7/10) - Interesting instrumentation and experimentation but outside of that, there's nothing that blows you away. I'll Be Gone (7/10) - It has a cool build up but it ends up being very similar to how I described In My Remains above. Skin To Bone (8/10) - It's kind of slow but really atmospheric, nice melody, and like Chester describes (with very inappropriate hand motions), "these beats are just like pounding your face." Castle of Glass (5/10) - This one seems to be a love it or hate it track. Personally, I'm not feeling it. It doesn't sound bad, it just doesn't bring anything interesting to the table. It comes across as really generic, from the chords to the beat to the melody. Until It Breaks (10/10) - This preview sounds amazing, it's epic, Mike and Chester are harmonizing on this beautiful melody, probably my favorite piece of LT I've heard thus far. Edit: Apparently, if that preview really was Until It Breaks, that might be Brad's vocal chanting at the end. If that's the case, I'm impressed. It sounds wonderful.
Castle Of Glass actually sounds like a Bowling For Soup song. the melody and harmony is their kind of thing.
Who cares about your review or anyone else's. The only review that matters is your own. You could think castle of glass is 10/10, not 5/10 OMG guyz lets rate all teh snippets!!11
I replied to someone who asked for ratings because he is not going to listen the snippets, and I even stated that everyone is going to have different opinions. If you don't want to read them, don't read them, but someone asked so I responded.
