RickLPL Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 I was under the impression LP is editing Genius. They took it over for Heavy. Oh I see. Anyway, I'll wait for the official announcement Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogueSoul Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 I was under the impression LP is editing Genius. They took it over for Heavy. On Genius, annotation in green are artist-verified unless otherwise stated elsewhere. That being said, Genius is pretty reliable because you don't have people upvoting random crap about music to be approved. It's based on a system of upvotes, so if someone's interpretation is completely off it'll be downvoted. March 17 is a Friday and that's usually when music is released, so it's more of an educated guess if anything. No one really knows if there are collaborators credited with the song either, it's just safest to assume that those were the three members of the band that wrote the track.

martinez Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 So the song was also written by Jon Green. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skipees Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 I love how Astat can talk crap to me, but when I reply, some moderator decides they have to remove my post. What's the deal here? Astat has free reign to talk crap, but I'm not allowed to reply to him? He acts like a know it all dickhead 90% of the time, but I guess that's ok. This place has become a joke. I guess as long as you love everything LP does and agree with the higher ups, you're all good. The answer is very simple: we're all (staff, members, readers) prefer to read music-related comments and not a personal duel, but while Astat's smart enough to hide his opinion about you behind criticism (+ in the bottom of an actual comment) you're way too direct ("douche", "dick", "dickhead", etc.) with your counters and that's definitely unacceptable. Feel free to fly under the radar and reply, no action is taken as long as you both don't bother the other people who are using that site. DEFINITELY nothing to do with your or his opinion about the music or the band. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen some of the mods give the new tracks a couple hits because they don't like Heavy or Battle Symphony. Don't put yourself on a pedestal either. You toss your insults around more than a salad. It doesn't make your opinions & insults any better than someone who enjoys the music or someone that calls you out on thorough inconsistencies (Astat of course). Its one thing to discuss and debate, its another to act like a 4 year old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
castro78 Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 (edited) Yeah, so like I said...Astat gets to say whatever he wants because you know him, but that doesn't apply to others....seems fair.

And the only reason I do, is because he always has some wise ass, I'm smarter than you, thing to say to me. So do me a favor, spare me the bs about my behavior.

No, I was very clear about what you both (basically all of us here) can or can't do and how. I don't think that there's any point to explain it again so you can just reread my reply if you haven't understood my explanation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lpliveusername Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 So, Linkin Park updated the Genius page and posted it on social media. Chester isn't credited for writing the song anymore but Jon Green is. Vocal production by Andrew Bolooki. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Used to love this band and this site.... now the music is garbage and the site has become a bunch of little kids freaking out every time someone unearths some horrible demo. LP could literally release the worst music ever and somebody would tell you how epic it is. Edited March 14, 2017 by castro78 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't care what people like or don't like.you like this, cool. I think it's pure pop garbage. Both of these songs are huge steps backwards for the band. Why make crappy pop songs? Why bring in outside writers? You can hear the influence of these people who are typically writing songs for Katy Perry and Bieber. Why would they want to go that route? People can say what they want, but this is all Mike and Brad. They're so obsessed with each album sounding different, that they don't care what that different sound actually is. These songs will be awful at concerts. Who knows if they'll even play them. They don't play much of their current album on tours these days anyway. Whatever, I'm done with this topic. Enjoy the music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fleur de Lys Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 This is pretty bad. It's not too unexpected, but personally I really hate this vibe. I always hated it in other pop songs. I really like a lot of pop music, but it has to be creative, good and authentic. This sounds like typical generic machine made pop. I don't really get angry though, LP was always a commercial and somewhat poppy band. They just took out whatever edge they had from the rock sound or experimental sound, and what's left of their sound is just too cookie-cutter and bland for me. I like the minor-vibe of Heavy more, it fits the band better. But sill, I don't like Heavy. It doesn't help these songs that Chester's vocal delivery is so squeaky and high. It doesn't really surprise me though, this is how he's sounded live for years, and also on THP when he wasn't yelling or screaming. Remember the verses of Guilty All The Same? It seems he really embraced his naturally high register voice in recent years. It's even prominent when comparing old interviews to new interviews. Good for him personally, because he probably isn't making his voice sound lower anymore on purpose, but having to prove something actually made for a better clean delivery in Chester's case. It had more depth and rasp, and it made the clean parts bearable. Track titles on this album are quite deceiving and sometimes don't resemble them in terms of music. Like when you see Victimized and all you got is LOATR-esque song. On previous albums they somehow made it "balance" between relating titles with lyrics and music. I have to disagree. "Heavy" is a good name, because it sort of works on more levels. It's the most prominent word of the chorus obviously, but it also matches the vibe of the "heavy" lyrics pretty well. At the same time, I think they were very aware of the irony of the name, which makes it the perfect statement for the first single of an album like this. It's sort of a meta-title. It's like Adele releasing "Hello" after years of silence. It's a line from the song, but it was obviously also saying "Hello, it's me" (I'm back) to the world.

kiq fLP Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 It's like Adele releasing "Hello" after years of silence. It's a line from the song, but it was obviously also saying "Hello, it's me" (I'm back) to the world. This remind me of "Welcome" by FM: p About the song ... I understand that is not THAT bad, but definitely not my cup of tea. I mean, I did not like "Heavy" at first, but after a couple of listens it grew on me, the vibe of the song, the chorus is catchy and other stuff too. I can not feel the same with BS. I'm afraid of saying something wrong ... but it seems even more overproduced and I did not like the final result. Still, waiting for the rest of the album, especially One More Light - the song itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kruspe Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 I don't know. At first I was really dissapointed. Of course, I knew that this album was gonna sound like some mainstream radio friendly pop music, but somehow I hoped that it wouldn't be that poppy. Well, my hope was for nothing, since this once again is pure mainstream radio music. With that said, I kinda like some parts of this song. Actually it started to grow on me. The chords are pretty nice and Chester delivers some good vocals. I just heard the previews of Talking to Myself and One More Light as well, and even though they are poppy as well, I am really looking forward to these songs. They sound beautiful. Still hate Heavy though, but hey, a lot of people seem to like it, so no probs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RickLPL Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 I really like how they release the lyrics first, then the full song.So Battle Symphony won't be a single.. I wonder how many tracks we'll get before 19 May Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GraDoN Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 What a unremarkable song, just down the middle pop song that will be forgotten in a few weeks after release... I mean it's slightly catchy and not terrible, but just so generic. What i liked about LP when I got into them all those years back was that they had a distinct sound. Change is always inevitable, I just wish they changed into something less vanilla. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder how many tracks we'll get before 19 May Well since we got Heavy in February, now Battle Symphony in March. I'm going to just guess that we'll get Invisible in April, and then that's it until the album is released in May.

DystopianBy Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 (edited) From twitter preview to Battle Symphony So we can see District 108 (from older leaks), Nobody Can Save Me Now, Battle Symphony and Tidal Wave (new demo title). Possible El Chopo too? Edited March 16, 2017 by DystopianBy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickLPL Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 Maybe District 108 was the working title of one of the 10 songs that ended up on the album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
