Just throwing it out there that you forgot about Lights working with Mike. She also recently left her label to start her own so she's a bit of a free agent, can hit the range needed for a lot of LP, has been on metalish and rock songs, and has always had an experimental approach to her music that I've thought resembles LP's vibes.

He does have that similar vibe in his voice that makes him a nice comparison. They actually just dropped their final album this past Friday. Half is very classic sum41 anthem type songs and the other half their later more metal infused style. Nice send off and a bittersweet but well deserved close so Deryck can rest instead of running himself ragged.

Gotta love Spotify acting up and claiming FF isn't available

That's fair Also, since you mention Catalyst, check out Don't Need Nothing by Aly and AJ. I like to joke with friends that they're the same song bc they follow similar progression from single voice and simple music to overlapping repeating voices with drums and full band killing it

Y'all, remember when Mike said "New Era" before starting promo for Already Over? Didn't he also say in subsequent posts about each chapter being different themes and colors, starting with red bc it's his favorite? Red - Already Over Green - Friendly Fire, Greatest Hits ????? - ??????

I think you answered yourself lol (to drive fans crazy with hype and generate buzz**) I'm sure after the album announcement, they'll give some more info. Mike did repost the FF teaser. I think they know this gets us all frenzied, which works better at this stage to get hype going.

ALITS is one of my favorite tracks tbh. It feels like it tells a story similar to how Green Day has Jesus of Suburbia or Sum41 did the trilogy of songs on Screaming Bloody Murder. Yeah, it jumps between styles, but I feel there's an understood progression that reminds me of Wake. In a looser sense, it feels like a mix of THP songs as well as their overall catalog until that album. It's sad that it doesn't hit the same way for others (that's on the song, not a 'you just don't get it' sense).

I'm having flashbacks to Tribal Ink songs being spread around limewire as unreleased LP songs lol

If it's intentional that they left it blank and it's something unreleased, I'm willing to bet it's another OML vault track. They have been having apparent success with the box sets, so they wouldn't want to pull from those wells when they can go towards MTM20, ATS20, and LT20. I am unsure if we'll get 20 year boxes after that as they seem to have forgotten about THP and OML's timing will likely prevent them wanting to do an anniversary celebration. Plus they'll be late 50s or even 60 by then and prolly focused on chilling.

We're on page 13 discussing it. A bunch of LP fans I follow on Twitter and the LPL account are all posting and sharing and joking, so it generates posts that will show in other ppl's feeds, which reaches the target audience. It's been a simple series of teasers, but it's working. The LP social media crew has always been good at that.

Being that they'll almost 100% have a vinyl release with it, that's what interests me most since it'll allow me to pop it on the player and just have a stream of hits. If it were just digital/cd, I'd grab the CD to have physical copy of the new song and shelve it and add the new song to current playlist and be done with it. Not the most interesting release, but the new song likelihood and the implications this release may have on the future of LP make it intriguing to me.

Already Over (Simlish Version) would be an actually great track to include lol LPU8 level troll from the band Also, it's fun to be back with hype for a release. I didn't have too much energy for HT20 and was too busy for M20 and now we have some unknown type of thing happening.

I'm guessing they'll do a similar type box set as HT20. My guess for the big set is: Vinyl - Meteora - Live in Texas - Maybe Collision Course CD - Demos - Live in Texas enhanced with bonus tracks DVD - Live in Texas - Camden 2004 - Rock Am Ring 2004

Man, wish they had a few more tiers, I can't personally justify the Super deluxe when I wouldn't touch the vinyls. But I would get a $110/$120 tier that didn't include those.

There are two demos that haven't been heard at all. New to everyone outside the band. New music New release
