You can be high energy without being Metal. Hell, there is a lot of mellow and folk music that I consider "high energy"
Hit-Boy is, in my opinion, one of the best mainstream hip-hop producers around today. It's worth getting excited about.
Hopefully, because I might not want to be a fan of Linkin Park anymore if they were to include guests like these (horrible guests at that) on a main album. The only hip-hop I have ever liked is the stuff in Linkin Park and Fort Minor/SOB. That's it. Only because Mike was involved with all the hip-hop stuff. I do not like hip-hop whatsoever. I prefer country over hip-hop. So it's a good thing that maybe this is for some sort of remix or whatever. Keep that away from studio albums please.
Seriously, odds are that they just happen to be in the same studio building. I can't believe that anyone's getting up in arms over this
I'm allowed to voice my opinion about whatever I want. Omg, I don't like hip-hop. BIGGGGG deal apparently.
Do you count producer as a guest? Even if this dude produced LP album (which he won't), I'm pretty sure that it wouldn't sound anything like his previous work.
True. I wouldn't like to have guests on main albums either. However, I wouldn't consider a producer as guest appearance.
Source: Mike's Twitter. Instagram VIDEO this time (click the link). Lots of guitar references these past few updates, is the pattern steady enough to make assumptions now?
GUITARZ But seriously, if they make another "Energetic" album then i would love to hear some more complex guitar work from Brad. With that said, I still want a ATS-2(Which would sound nothing like the first) Living Things was okay but not that great compared to ATS.
Nope. We gotta hear material, assumptions at this stage are worthless. Even if there are guitars they're likely gonna be downmixed or played in typical LP fashion, unless they do go a guitar heavy route, but I doubt it. We've got nothin' much to go on so it's best not to get our hopes up/down about the band going in any particular direction.
That's what I want. ATS2 which is nothing like ATS at all except in that it is a totally cohesive and a more experimental album (in LP terms as ATS was not experimental in comparison to the whole of music though I'd prefer their next album to be!)
