TheHundreds.com: Living Things "In The Mix" Options

[Hahninator]

A guy by the name of Bobby over at TheHundreds.com has posted a really informative, good read about "Living Things" when he visited NRG while it was being mixed. Read the full article here.

"Can you be mainstream and still be cool? It’s a question we are forced to ask ourselves at The Hundreds. Although we aren’t nearly a mainstream brand, we continue to grow and flourish, and one day we will stand at that crossroads. So, can you be mainstream and still be cool?

As I sit here with Mike in the very recording studio Linkin Park concocted their new album, Living Things, not only are my ears open to the music, but so are my eyes. I see the weathered instruments that have bled into this record, the sleepless nights stained across the piano keys and guitar strings, I see the scribbled lyric sheets splayed across the bookstand. As we talk about the record, I grow to understand not only what this band has done, but what they are doing. Ask any thirty-year-old about Linkin Park, and they’ll sweep them into the rap-rock abyss. But ask a teenager who Linkin Park is, and they’ll sing a different tune."

There are a good number of high quality pictures from inside the studio too. Check it!

Thoughts?

So the guy that is mixing LIVING THINGS just mixed Justin Bieber's "Boyfriend"...

Not a good start...
