lgr Posted October 23, 2014 Posted October 23, 2014 The lastest LPTV takes an inside look at Joe Hahn's 'Beast Astray' art show for MALL at Known Gallery in Los Angeles, CA. thoughts? Quote
AStarkson Posted October 23, 2014 Posted October 23, 2014 I hate to focus on the song here, but that is honestly some of Mike's best vocal performance on the song. The falsetto is very interesting. Quote
linkinepi Posted October 23, 2014 Posted October 23, 2014 (edited) Luna is fucking undoubtedly the best song from LP since 2010. No wonder, it's from the ATS sessions. It seems that this version is the "finished, mixed" one, I liked the trailer version way better, it sounded more raw. Buttermilk is also on the LPTV, much more drawn out than the Stagelight sample I heard in Mall. Edited October 23, 2014 by linkinepi Quote
JZLP-Benningstrong Posted October 23, 2014 Posted October 23, 2014 Sounds different than the other version that i've heard... Quote
FLAME-XIII Posted October 23, 2014 Posted October 23, 2014 he should make a small world tour with his arts Quote
Coizu Posted October 23, 2014 Posted October 23, 2014 There are some really awesome pieces in that show. I wish some prints would be available. Quote
RogueSoul Posted October 23, 2014 Posted October 23, 2014 Definitely a diffferent vocal take on Luna. Still beautiful. I wonder, is that on of the other two songs Mike mastered for MALL? Pretty sure the entire fanbase would shit itself if that got released. Quote
LESTAT Posted October 23, 2014 Posted October 23, 2014 This was the only Linkin Park song I was really excited about in a long long time and now it's basically all washed away. Don't like what I hear in this video at all. The trailer version has a lot more striking power to it. Sometimes it's so weird to see how much different take and producing can do to a song. Crazy to think how many amazing songs were trashed just because an artist wasn't able to find the best approach right away and gave up. Or how many potentially legendary songs weren't worked on good enough. Quote
UpRoadLeft Posted October 23, 2014 Posted October 23, 2014 This song is definitively my favorite out of all the ones from the movie "The Mall" Quote

You've heard a few small clips and now it's ''the best LP song since 2010''. I can't read that seriously. Maybe it's just me, but I don't think any demo LP has ever given us through LPU albums, soundtracks, stuff like that, is better than anything on the main albums. I also feel like LP would have worked on those more and put stuff like that on the album if they thought it was good enough. LP has better judgement than all of us. But yeah. It's like Brad said once. ''If we weren't 100% confident with an album, it wouldn't be coming out''. Edited October 23, 2014 by Geki Quote

No other song from LP since 2010 barring maybe COG has made me feel what I felt when I first heard Luna in the trailer song. LESTAT can vouch for that feeling, and I agree with him calling GATS a "gross, b-list power metal song" when it came out, it still is, and much of THP is nothing spectacular. Quote
UpRoadLeft Posted October 23, 2014 Posted October 23, 2014 I think a lot of us are fans of the B-sides where Mike is singing on it, like Lune, No Roads Left etc ... For example, NRL is my all favorite LP song and ranked 1 in my iTunes chart Quote
Geki Posted October 23, 2014 Posted October 23, 2014 (edited) We should wait until we at least hear the full song until we judge. Edited October 27, 2014 by Geki Quote

Pretty sure the entire fanbase would shit itself if that got released. Same vocal take, different part of the song. The lyric gets repeated multiple times. You can hear the last couple lines from the section with the vocal melody we're already familiar with when the vocals fade back in near the end of the video. Quote
hahninator Posted October 23, 2014 Posted October 23, 2014 Wow now THAT is a different sounding LP song. Quote
skyzlmt Posted October 23, 2014 Posted October 23, 2014 There are some really awesome pieces in that show. I wish some prints would be available. There was one print from the show available from Joe. I think they sold out. His actual piece was numbered to 20 and the print was /200 Quote
LeonardoMF93 Posted October 24, 2014 Posted October 24, 2014 I love to hear Mike singing. I can't wait to hear this song in full! Quote
Pez Posted October 26, 2014 Posted October 26, 2014 (edited) Also, I thought Id give shazam a go to see if it had any extra info we might not have. All I got back was Tags Luna and Malc Rx7. According the the album field its got 7 - Luna and 4 - Malc Rx7 so maybe that will be there track listings? They also are interestedly under Joe Hahn as the artist. Edit: Just realized this and more is covered in the White Noise thread. Edited October 26, 2014 by Pez Quote

And almost eveything is better than Lies Greed Misery Quote
GlassCastles Posted October 26, 2014 Posted October 26, 2014 Actually Primo is better than I'll Be Gone. And almost eveything is better than Lies Greed Misery That is entirely your opinion. Quite frankly, I prefer IBG to Primo. Quote

It seems that this version is the "finished, mixed" one, I liked the trailer version way better, it sounded more raw. Buttermilk is also on the LPTV, much more drawn out than the Stagelight sample I heard in Mall. Besides the fact that I disagree with all aspects of your opinion, the bigger point is this. I'm 90% sure that you're wrong about Luna being from the ATS era/sessions. I'm pretty sure Ammosick is the only song on the Mall OST that is from the ATS era (and only partly because it originated from M2M). The LPAssociation Wiki pretty much confirms that if you look at the articles for the Mall OST and for Luna and Ammosick. Says Luna is Living Things era. Anyway, Luna's good. But I absolutely love the version/part that's played in the very beginning of this LPTV episode. Just sounds much more like them. More dark and less poppy because the vocal/notes are more contained. I like it better than the version/part in the trailer which is also played towards the end of this LPTV episode. I guess Astat is right and it's probably just two parts of the same vocal take which means he just sings it a bit differently at the start of the song. In any case, I can think of 5 or 10 songs on the last two albums that are probably better than Luna, at least to me. I'd like to hear Luna released in it's entirety though, with all the parts, bridging together the part at the beginning of this lptv episode and the part played towards the end of the episode.

[AndOne] Posted October 26, 2014 Posted October 26, 2014 I was thinking the exact same thing but didn't want to post about it Quote

Ammosick is from the MTM sessions... the LPA Wiki has enormous amounts of information absolutely wrong. I'm 100% sure that every single track from Stagelight, apart from Divided and Catharsis came from the ATS sessions. Almost all of the names check out with the ones in the tracking boards shown in the LPTVs and the Making Of ATS. FUCK I just confirmed indeed that Ammosick is "the last line" song beyond a shadow of a doubt... It says Ammosick to the left of Iridescent, and "the last line" is above it Can't believe I never caught that, I've had that screen-cap since 2012, lol. Edited October 26, 2014 by linkinepi Quote
