lpplus Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 (edited) Hey!First of all, thanks for letting us send you emails. I don’t think we’ve said that before, and it's worth saying outright. I hope our notes to you are fun to read, and give you a peek into our process. As things move forward, you might be the first ones to learn about certain parts of the album. Not sure what that means yet—could be a song title, a lyric, who knows.We just started narrowing down to some of our favorite songs, and we’re starting to put our first “final” vocals on them. As I listen through them, I feel like these songs are really personal and revealing. We have really poured our hearts into the words and melodies, and it’s starting to show as we approach recording the “keeper” vocals.With that said, we’ve got a lot of material to choose from, and decided to get votes from all six of the guys in the band, to see which songs are rising to the top. We clearly have an album in there. We’re looking forward to getting the vocals right, and starting to put sounds on them. Keyboards/samples and drums are high on the list…but first, we’re going to get some of these vocals nailed down.More to come…- Mike (with Brad and Chester looking over my shoulder at this email. They say “hi” by the way) Edited April 22, 2016 by lpplus Quote Link to comment https://lplive.net/forums/topic/12222-studio-update-from-mike-shinoda/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
sian18 Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 I think this album will move along fast now as there getting the keeper vocals done. I think on other albums it has been the trying to write lyrics that has slowed down the album so this time getting them done first then putting the music to them things will move faster Quote Link to comment https://lplive.net/forums/topic/12222-studio-update-from-mike-shinoda/#findComment-263868 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stranger Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 Based on the email, I'm sure we're gonna get the album by this year, for sure. Hopefully single will release maybe by June?

RickLPL Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 So the lyrical themes on this album are going to be personal again? Quote Link to comment https://lplive.net/forums/topic/12222-studio-update-from-mike-shinoda/#findComment-263874 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mesck547 Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 Seems like they are making some progress. I don't think the album will be released before the end of 2016 though.

marzo23 Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 Keyboards/samples and drums are high on the list ...so no guitar sound on it?! Quote Link to comment https://lplive.net/forums/topic/12222-studio-update-from-mike-shinoda/#findComment-263876 Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedamian58c Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 Keyboards/samples and drums are high on the list ...so no guitar sound on it?! I guess they are going to do guitars last, I think they are trying to write a song in an opposite order of what they used to. I think they usually started to write a song by a guitar riff, then add keyboard, samples and drums, and vocals and lyrics were last in the order. It seems what they mean by list, is an order list, vocals and lyrics first on the list, drums and keyboards still pretty high, and guitar further down. In addition, they already wrote a bit on the acoustic guitar.

Chris Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 (edited) Keyboards/samples and drums are high on the list ...so no guitar sound on it?! That's not at all what they're saying. That just means they're prioritizing composing the keyboards, samples, and drums over guitar. Unless of course you're being sarcastic.

FLAME-XIII Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 "personal album" sounds like MTM album, i hope for that anyway, i don't wanna another album with loud guitars, and probably this is another album without pop hits.

Kilmer Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 Keyboards/samples and drums are high on the list ...so no guitar sound on it?! It just means they will work on keyboards, samples and drums before working on guitar and bass.
