FearOfTheDuck Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 (edited) 1. Shadow of the Day 2. Not Alone 3. The Messenger 4. Lies Greed Misery 5. New Divide The first three songs are over-earnest melodramatic lowest common denominator trash. LGM has never clicked with me. It just doesn't work in my eyes. New Divide is the most cliched LP radio single possible, really. It's just so obvious it annoys me. Edited June 26, 2014 by Ducko Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lgr Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 01. By Myself I was never ''big'' into songs like By Myself and Nobody's Listening back in the day, and I rarely (if ever) listen to them nowadays. Not sure what I dislike about them, can't really say. I would have had you down as liking By Myself - all dat screaming! I've never liked the studio version of Cure For The Itch. I way prefer the PR08 version to the studio edition. it's way darker and I like the alterations made to the samples. I think the added sample over Joe's later scratch part (It's probably a vocal clip, but it sounds like whale song or something) way cooler than the original. mine are... 1 from each album - Runaway Easier To Run No More Sorrow The Messenger Until It Breaks overall - Runaway Easier To Run Nobody's Listening No More Sorrow Until It Breaks Runaway's chorus is just really simple and irritating, it's a decent track rhythmically, and I like the samples/breakdown, but it's too ham-fisted for my liking, I feel like it doesn't say anything of any significance, just words (it was a close call with Forgotten here). Easier To Run is their whiniest, I love the rap refrain and the way the chorus feels like it has a distance, or scope to it, but as a whole, it's the one I skip most off Meteora. Nobody's Listening isn't the most riveting song ever, I like the 2nd verse and the "heart full of pain" bit, but it's a bit dull overall. No More Sorrow insists on itself... I only ever listen to the Long Intro on the live version, but then usually skip the rest, it bores me. The Messenger is, in my opinion, a weak album closer, and I don't think Chester soundds very good on it. it exposes him struggling to hit top notes and it's ... painful listening. Until It Breaks feels too much like three bits jammed together, I like parts of it, but they could have done something better with those three parts. it feels rushed and under-cooked. plus I always feel like Mike isn't keeping up with the beat during the rep sections and it's frustrating to listen to.

RogueSoul Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 RECHARGED is the best album of all time, and Hybrid Theory and A Thousand Suns are the worst albums in the world. Do I have to smack a bitch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lgr Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 I think NMS is likable in the US due to its obvious connections to Bush. We went to war with Bush, so I think it applies to the UK too. thematically, it speaks to what I came to understand about the whole 2000/01 "special relationship" between the UK and US, but I still found the song overly preachy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's of course a big thing that Bush was such a symbol of fuckery in the US, but that doesnt mean that only the US could write songs about it.

Geki Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 what makes you like those two? I just ... fail to see their appeal NMS is great because it's just heavy and in your face, and I just love everything about the song. The lyrics actually aren't about Bush at all, as I stated in the interpretations thread. I like it mostly because Chester sings the whole song (like a lot of MTM) and because the guitar and drums are just epic. As for ETR, the lyrics are really amazing to me and I just think it's a great track. I don't like overly complex songs, I like the simple structure LP is known for in writing songs. If wanted to listen to that type of band, I'd listen to Muse. I'm happy LP returned to their old structures with LT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the buildup of No More Sorrow, even without the live extensions. I probably prefer it to Given Up on record actually, it feels more mature lyrically and has a better chorus in my opinion. ETR is essentially a less good version of Crawling, but it's still great, and Rob's drum work is fantastic on that track. The atmosphere in the verses is also really cool.
