Somebodyangry Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 Just listened to GATS, blown away by the fact that it's been A DECADE. It's still a good song, with Chester being a bit too whiny in the verses. Really good song, but not great great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stranger Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 GUILTY ALL THE SAME is technically "out of the box" for LP musical style. those riff, solos. dont forget about the legendary guest on the track. like, how the f**k they got RAKIM on the track, which is brand new song, not some remix shit. 😭🤘💯🎉 i remember that during the promo for the song, you've got to Shazam any LP tracks and you got a link to listen to "GUILTY ALL THE SAME". Happy 10th Anniversary, GUILTY ALL THE SAME! It's a shame that the fkin label hate the entire album & excluding any tracks from THP into the Greatest Hits album.

Qwerty18 Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 (edited) Man, I still remember hearing GATS for the first time, I was blown away. And then I got my roommate pissed off because of over-playing the shit out of it the next morning 😃 In the context of the time, after ATS and Living Things had been diving deeper and deeper into electronic elements, a 6 min long hard rock track was a huge curve-ball from the band. Such a banger as well, one of the best track from that record. Edited March 8 by Qwerty18 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vinescence Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 I remember waking up, trying to Shazam a couple of songs because my first choice didn't work, and then plugging my phone to my stereo. I was so excited to listen to a brand new, heavy, Linkin Park song. Still love GATS to this day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JZLP-NaughtyNottingham Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 I still dont understand WHY as the lead single of your next album someone decides that its a great idea to NOT SHOOT A PROPER VIDEO and instead have a Windows Media Player animation as your video hahahaha fuck you whoever took that decision. this song with a proper video could have been a success.

For real, that video must be in the top 5 worst decisions of LP's history 😅 This song was asking for some proper adrenaline-packed "band performance" shoots. Could have multiply the impact of the single by 10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could have multiply the impact of the single by 10. IMO not really, I love GATS to death but the band had done tons of "energetic performance" MVs and GATS is a 5+ minute metal song with Rakim that sounds nothing like the firecracker catchy LP people love, the song was never gonna get much bigger than it did imo. The video would have to have a hell of a gimmick or something truly interesting to watch. One other thing that would've helped would be a single edit that drastically reduced the length, but I don't think they wanted to butcher the VISCERAL full track The only thing that might've changed that is inclusion in Transformers 4 or something, but that movie also flopped in the US. Audiences were moving on from both LP and TF at that time Also, this thread reminds me we have no demos of THP songs really, I'd love to hear what alternate ideas exist for GATS. Didn't Mike say he did a rap bridge at some point? Such a behemoth of a song man, and what a curve ball at the time. I love listening to ALTNC and it back to back just to hear the range.

xxHybridXeroxx Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 (edited) Wow! It’s been a DECADE?! It feels like just yesterday to me, I remember when it dropped and I was absolutely blown away. Just listened to the song, it’s still a freaking banger, entire THP album is underrated to be honest. Especially Rob’s drumming, it’s absolutely insane on the album. It sucks that THP is kind of under the radar, people were asking for “heavy” for years and they got it! THP is arguably the heaviest album LP did, and that’s probably why it wasn’t promoted well by the label. I remember Chester saying on Twitter in 2017 that GATS was “too rock for radio”. Also the video they did was a very puzzling decision, a proper music video instead would’ve been much better.

bloodbath Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 I've always said it, people didn't wanted a "heavy" LP record, they wanted Meteors/HT all over again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rakim's verse is one of the reason. he dissed the record label straight forward. 3 minutes ago, Somebodyangry said: Not having Rebellion as the first single might be the weirdest decision of their career Rebellion is a great track but it's not really LP-style-ish. if the song hit the radio randomly, ppl might think it's System of A Down track.

Somebodyangry Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 Listening to the full album right now, I’ll get a lot of hate for this but if I had to rank it, UIG would be higher in the list than KTTK, AFN, GATS, War for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leftshoe18 Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 When GATS dropped I was living in a hotel during a very rough period of my life. I remember it as one of few things that excited me at the time and I listened to it a lot. As dumb as it sounds, looking forward to THP was a big part of grounding me and pushing me forward for those few months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get that feeling, hardest period of my life right now, that’s why I love FF so much probably, new comfort music from my fav band Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gorast Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 GATS is an incredible song. It has so much momentum and dynamism to it that it doesn't really feel like it's six and a half minutes - this probably comes off as hyperbole but I feel like it and The Little Things Give You Away are the two songs in LP's catalogue that most feel like you're being taken on a journey through the song, with distinct movements to them. A Line in the Sand has this same structure but it doesn't hit quite the same as those two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Somebodyangry Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 (edited) I did this as a personal take on my least fav record by them THP REIMAGINED (same number of songs): 1. Wastelands 2. White Noise 3. GATS (radio edit but with the standard long intro) 4. KTTK (Chester just sings instead of yelling and there's no "I am not allowed to say certain things" outro) 5. The Summoning 6. War 7. UIG (no baby crying outro) 8 Rebellion 9. MTG 10 ALITS (cut the rap part, ending gets shortened with less repetition of "give me back what's mine") 11. Drawbar 12 Final Masquerade (extended intro and outro video version) Edited March 10 by Somebodyangry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stranger Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 I believe it was Chester who prefers "The Hunting Party" instead of "Carnivores" because he said "Carnivores" just a word and it translate really well while "The Hunting Party", it's something that need to be figure out and mysteriously. i might be wrong on that but i watched the LPUTV recently.

I still do like THP as it is but it's my least fav album by LP and it's the one I would "reimagine" the most. I love heavy LP but not that kind of heavy TBH.

Those sounds defined LINKIN PARK. MTM, ATS were cool experimentations but HT/MET will always be their SIGNATURE SOUND. It's 2024 but it's still sound fresh and unique for a 20+ year old albums.
