Coizu Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 I think the cover and the title itself are perfectly fine. The cover might be a little bit boring but it‘s definitely not bad. And the title is just a fun word play. Nothing wrong with that. Just the art style around everything screams „graphic design is my passion“ in the worst possible way which is not what I am used to when it comes to LP releases.

JZLP-Benningstrong Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 1 hour ago, AceWav said: Personally, i see no issue with the title nor the album cover. ATS is pretty basic, but it worked. I think the band went with something simplistic because i's recognizable to all generations of LP. It makes sense, plus ''Papercuts'', if that really is the title, seems like the band knew Chester's favorite song was papercut, so maybe it's to honor him for that and if that is the case, that's pretty awesome. Chester freaking loved that song, i think he would have loved the title to. It was his favorite for sure and its the bands presentation card. Weird that it isn't the #1 track haha Link to comment https://lplive.net/forums/topic/15299-linkin-park-releasing-friendly-fire/page/22/#findComment-324676 Share on other sites More sharing options...

That green art is the single cover for Friendly Fire, the album art is seemingly the white one that everyone hates that's on the FF snippet.

Coizu Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 (edited) Why do the compilation album and Friendly Fire need different covers? Lost also didn't have separate artwork and just used the M20 cover. I think the white version is the only thing we will get and the green thing is some fan made stuff.

YRQRM0 Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 I have to say I find both the white image and green underwhelming, but the green is a lot cleaner to me. Here's hoping that the rest of the campaign/set includes imagery that is better or contextualizes these images so that they feel better in context. It seems like there was so much artwork generated during OML, it would've been cool to just have something from that time as the single art, but I guess we'll get that sort of thing more with OML20 Link to comment https://lplive.net/forums/topic/15299-linkin-park-releasing-friendly-fire/page/22/#findComment-324687 Share on other sites More sharing options...

linkin_boss Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 Papercuts as a name sounds good honestly, it makes sense as a compilation of different cuts from different periods. That being said I would have preferred a busier cover, along the lines of songs from the underground or LPU X. I know the LPU one is super busy, but it fits the papercuts concept :P.

Something evocative by definition is hard to put into words. I just see it and I can find meanings. It's vague and dreamy to me. It's evocative in the sense that when I see it i'm stimulated.

YRQRM0 Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 I wonder if track 14 could be one of the "pop" demos that Mike mentioned multiple times as having been scrapped in favor of the visceral sound of THP, I don't think we've had so much as a peek at those demos, unless I'm forgetting something from later LPU releases How many tracks do we have confirmed as having made it to the mixing stage at any point? Besides others on OML, are there any left? We got all from Meteora (except a possible 2003 mix of MTV), we've heard them from MTM (again, except possible iterations that are more or less mixed/mastered), and I don't think anyone has ever been quoted for mentioning songs from ATS, LT and THP as having made it to mixing but held back Link to comment https://lplive.net/forums/topic/15299-linkin-park-releasing-friendly-fire/page/22/#findComment-324694 Share on other sites More sharing options...

linkin_boss Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 (edited) I think QWERTY makes sense. It's a singles collection, and they knew if Friendly Fire was the single to promote the release, people would complaint it's a pop song. QWERTY is finished enough that can stand as a new single as well, and it'd play better with the rock/metal crowd. Now, considering the live version from 2006 and the LPU studio release had some differences. Will we see the same mixing as in LPU 6? or will they make a new mix for this release?
