MONDREUS240 Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 This demo is so much better than the original IMO. I don't know why they didn't take this direction with it. It's so much more original sonically for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack01 Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 I hope they release it with some enhanced files like LPU 4 or LPU 3. LPU3,4=EP but recent years ,The LPU cd is change to a Album Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JZLP-NaughtyNottingham Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 I hope they release it with some enhanced files like LPU 4 or LPU 3. I would rather have more tracks than enhanced files They can upload anything to the LPU site, there's no need for enhaned files. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[AndOne] Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 Come on that enhanced stuff is so early 2000's. The leftover space is too limited to offer something in decent quality. All the stuff was in terrible quality, that stuff gives you eye cancer these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DystopianBy Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 Just want to remind to all Mike's quote from twitter: I'll be gone was a hard song to write. Lots of revisions over the course of a full year. #LIVINGTHINGS Link Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leftshoe18 Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 How close do you guys think this is to how the ATS-era version of Primo sounded? It's definitely got that ATS type build and structure to it. It reminds me of a cross between Iridescent and Blackout. I wish we had a version of this with the final chorus on it as that's the only thing I could think that would make this song better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[AndOne] Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 I was expecting some final scream when I listened to it for the first time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mesck547 Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 (edited) Primo is just EPIC! As people mentioned here, you can tell it's an ATS demo just by the structure, which is very similar to Blackout. An amazing demo no doubt. In my opinion, it could have made it to ATS.

Dave-Stone55 Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 Is anyone else in love with the I'll Be Gone demo as much as I am? Would have made a really great blues-y track with this format. It feels like the electronics give it a night club vibe which kind of takes away a little bit of the depth of this bad boy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geki Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 I don't consider Primo to be better than I'LL BE GONE. I think the final version is amazing, I've loved it ever since the album came out. But this demo version is amazing. Great deep lyrics, and I love how it builds. This is awesome to have. I prefer demos like this than the instrumental demos we have been getting. Makes me wonder how epic the rest of LPU13 will be. I can't wait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geki Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 I was expecting this from you man, considering that the final version sounds similar to the MTM era. Is that why I love I'LL BE GONE? I guess some of the stuff on LT actually does sound like the MTM era. Mostly POWERLESS, I'LL BE GONE and IN MY REMAINS. I still think this Primo demo is amazing, though, I just think the final version they ended up with is really good. I usually think LP makes the right decisions. Very rarely do I think that the demo version of an album version song that we have heard is better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogueSoul Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 PRIMO HOLY DAMN THIS IS SO GOOD. It would of been a bit better times with a scream at the end the bridge or outro. But holy crap. I didn't know IBG was originally a ATS song. Cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LinkinParkHotspur Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 What an amazing demo. There are definitely parts of it that make me want to say it's better than IBG. You can definitely hear more of the folk sound in this demo. Not a surprise since Chester said most of the songs on LT basically started out being folky until they evolved into the final version. I guess it sort of reminds me of ATS in the way that it's longer (even longer than The Catalyst, though longer songs aren't exclusive to ATS since that started on M2M with songs like Little Things). And then obviously the electronic buildup part starting around 3:18-3:19 leading into the vocal bridge. That definitely has ATS written all over it. Oh yea, and one other thing. The electric guitars being relatively low in the mix. Because of that, in some ways, I wish this would have been the final version, just to see how different the mix would have sounded. The mix sounds pretty polished for a demo but had this been the final version, I think the electric guitars would have been made louder on the parts where they can be heard, particularly starting at 2:24 where Brad does the bridge guitar part without Chester's vocals (amazing) and also starting at 4:41 and on the final chorus. To me, it's pretty clear why this wasn't chosen as the final version (especially in retrospect looking at how long the other LT songs ended up being). It's not that IBG is superior to Primo. It has more to do with the length of it. And I think that IBG fits in better with the 1st half of the album, even more so than Primo would have fit in with the 2nd half of it.

[AndOne] Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 I like your detailed description, I see IBG as a condensed version of Primo, there are so many familiar elements stretched out in different places. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Numbrocker Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 I really enjoyed Primo. More Chester singing is only a good thing to me. I don't know if it's better than IBG (IBG being one of the songs I really enjoyed from LT), but I wish there was a Primo like song instead of UIB or Victimized. Very interested in the rest of LPU13 but still undecided if I want to renew my membership. The forums are a joke, and recently it keeps messing up the login. Really I only get LPU for the presale/early entrance and if Chester is right then no US tour till 2015. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deanowardust Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 i like the way it progresses in a way your not expecting unlike the one on the album which is just a straight forward "song" if you know what i mean? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GlassCastles Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 Primo lyrics: Like shining oil this night is dripping down Night is dripping down Glistening And I'm trying not to think of what I'm leaving now Cause I'm leaving now It's time you let me go Let me go Till then carry on And miss me when I'm gone Don't let anyone give you away Just carry on And miss me when I'm gone Don't let anyone take my place Take my place This air between us is getting thinner now Getting thinner now Bittersweet We crossed that horizon this sun is setting now Slowly setting now It's time you let me go Let me go Till then carry on And miss me when I'm gone Don't let anyone give you away Just carry on And miss me when I'm gone Don't let anyone take my place Take my place Just carry on And miss me when I'm gone Don't let anyone give you away Just carry on And miss me when I'm gone Don't let anyone take my place Take my place Tell them I couldn't help myself And tell them I was alone Tell them I was the only one And there's nothing that can stop me From going home Tell them I couldn't help myself And them I was alone Tell them I was the only one And there's nothing that can stop me From going home From going home From going home From going home Tell them I was the only one And there's nothing that can stop me From going home Not much different from I'LL BE GONE outside of the chorus, but there are some slight differences in the verses/bridge.
