New Album Update : Five Finished Songs Options

[MONDREUS240]

I really hope those 5 songs aren't softies like In Between and LOATR, and I hope some of them contain rapping and some Mr. Hahn scratching (something that I've never heard from a LP song in a billion years).

[Katy Perry]

i whish mike don't sing in this album like he did in mtm, his songs are the worst of the album, im curious to listen fear and drum song, but mike had a bad voice to sing

[FaiNt]

I don't know if this is good or bad news, I would have thought they'd have more than 5 songs completed by now. Also the 4-5 minute thing isn't necessarily a good thing cause the songs on the mtm that were that length such as sotd and tltgya were lame.

TLTGYA was one of LP most epic song they've ever written. SOTD was a pretty darn good one. not lame at all

[danielpsoad-09]

Ermmm .. good news I guess. Good thing they're making 4-5 minute songs.

Once again the famous 'narrowing process' takes place on a LP record. From 60 to 20, from 20 to 5 . Probably none of those 5 songs is going to make the final cut for the album. lol

[FaiNt]

one of these days, they should just give us groups of 5 new songs every few months or so

[thesungoesdown]

I hope we get to hear some of those songs that don't make the album as well. They put so much time into making then, i never really understood why they just lock some songs away in the vault ( i.e. Japan)

Regardless i'm PUMPED. I'm SO happy LPU 9 is around the corner, otherwise i'd be going nuts waiting for the new album right about now

[NoSunToday]

The only thing I can think of are all those complaints about Chester not focusing on LP...THIS sounds like the opposite...

[FaiNt]

I wonder if they'll play across the line on the new tour(s)?

Exactly my thought

[OZZY]

That was an awesome update from Mike! Longer songs im digging! Hopefully they have awesome lyrics and not half the tracks are just instrumentals. But i say they will cut some down to 3-4. I really dont want another 12 track record. Over 12 and thats a new step!

Those songs are so generic.

[SpikeMinoda]

that sounds awesome! leght of 4-5 mins, thats what i like very much, now we just have to wait for some more infos, so it looks that chester is really working with LP and touring with DBS at the same time. thats what i like to hear!!! can't wait until we get the news the new record is done and the release date will be ... !!that will be the best news for the next year together with tour dates !!

[Preston]

Good update, nice to know something is going on. However, the title is misleading. You make it sound like there are 5 songs already shelved and packed and thats not what the blog from MS says... it says they have 5 they are trying to get finished. Big difference.

Either way, its good news but considering they have been in the studio for a complete year, I'd say thats pretty unacceptable. Also, if ANYONE thinks Chester is able to put 100% to LP right now with all these DBS promotions/shows around the world thing is smoking some serious cannabis. I'm not downing Chester and I'm sure he's doing everything he can, but he is gonna be milking the DBS cow for as long as he can.

Either way, good update from MS but they should be way further along. And with New Divide and seeing the maturity of the band, it makes sense for them to be straying into longer songs.

[FaiNt]

Those songs are so generic.

why because they are slow? not hard metal songs? please

[crazygolfer]

Ok so...If it took them around a year to make 5 songs they really like that have a chance of making the album then I seriously doubt that we'll even have this album next year...How can Chester say that it may be out by June? I dont get it.

[OZZY]

MTM making process doubled for this record LP is really pissing me off. They take so long to create the damn record and its over in vertually 35-45mins. So i think we're due for a record that will keep us entertained over the hour mark! ... Also, wtf is up with Mike? He said CD's only allow 80mins? I have CD's where i can place any amount of tracks on (Virtually limitless time).

[Hahninator]

Mike mentioned one day he eventually wanted to give fans 3-4 new songs every few months so they can continually tour while making new music at the same time.

Thoughts on this update:
- Woot @ longer songs; that's badass
- I'm not gonna lie, they are a lot further behind than I thought they were...I was expecting them to have 15-20 actual song songs now that they're tidying up for the CD...didn't know they were at this stage
- Please no 12 track CD again. There are numbers higher than 12.

Seconded what Preston said - it's taken them a full year and they've accomplished:
- New Divide (2-3 weeks)
- Short summer tour of a month and a half (Transformers gig included)
- 5 songs they're "trying to focus on"

Atreyu hit the studio right before LP and just dropped their new CD. The Bravery has new material, 10 Years is debuting new material live in December and have been in LA mixing the CD recently, Hawthorne Heights is about to drop a new record....

LP takes way too long in making an album in my opinion. Chester can't focus with LP right now...like I said before, DBS is really slowing down the album process. I seriously doubt the record is coming out in 2010 if all they've done so far is this. Sounds like a January-March 2011 release in my opinion maybe.

Thank god for LPU 9

[ThePretender]

Edited and moved

Thanks! I couldn't change the topic name xD.

So if we got an album with 12-13 songs...It might push over an hour of music...

I hope at this rate they will be mixing the album by Feb or Mar.

And what if they decide to put 9 songs on the album?

Good update, nice to know something is going on. However, the title is misleading. You make it sound like there are 5 songs already shelved and packed and thats not what the blog from MS says... it says they have 5 they are trying to get finished. Big difference.

Go here and tell us what the title says. ^^

Only difference with LP is that they don't suck! WHAT UP!

No but with LPU9's awesomeness, the wait for the album won't be as bad. Now that (or what it seems like now) they are really working on the album, and that should speed up the process more.

lol @ biased first sentence

Agreed with the second statement. LPU 9 will make it go by a lot quicker and it does seem now they are fully focused and in gear.
