ThePretender Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 (edited) Mike always keep us up-to-date with their progress with the new album, and this time he writes about 5 finished songs: At last count, there were upward of 60 tracks on the "band" hard drive. Obviously, they're in all states of completion (except "finished"). Well, 60 is a big number, and focusing down on all of those to try to get them finished sounded terrifying not to mention silly; a good chunk of those are probably not really our best stuff anyway. So we narrowed down to 20. These 20 aren't all going to make the album, they're just the best songs we've got so far. Of the 20, we're trying to focus on 5 right now, and get them finished. The work has been going exceptionally well--I think all the guys are more focused than ever. I don't know for sure, but I would bet that the average song length on these is around the 4-5 minute mark; a bit longer format than our usual stuff. We're really enjoying being in the studio right now, trying to be as creative and adventurous as we can, while letting our sense of songwriting, rhythm, and melody guide the way through the chaos.

RedZero Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 So if we got an album with 12-13 songs...It might push over an hour of music... I hope at this rate they will be mixing the album by Feb or Mar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarkViper30000 Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 Best news in 2009. They heard our response finally!! We had been fussing for longer songs. They are doing it!! Five songs finishing Tell the world to get ready to bow down to Linkin Park as they launch another single with new formats and style! I am patient! Do it properly so that we enjoy it.

spraypaintninkpens Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 I don't know if this is good or bad news, I would have thought they'd have more than 5 songs completed by now. Also the 4-5 minute thing isn't necessarily a good thing cause the songs on the mtm that were that length such as sotd and tltgya were lame.

ladygaga Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 im not expecting nothing, they did the same thing in mtm and when the album was released nothing different Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MONDREUS240 Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 I really hope those 5 songs aren't softies like In Between and LOATR, and I hope some of them contain rapping and some Mr. Hahn scratching (something that I've never heard from a LP song in a billion years).

ladygaga Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 i whish mike don't sing in this album like he did in mtm, his songs are the worst of the album, im curious to listen fear and drum song, but mike had a bad voice to sing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FaiNt Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 I don't know if this is good or bad news, I would have thought they'd have more than 5 songs completed by now. Also the 4-5 minute thing isn't necessarily a good thing cause the songs on the mtm that were that length such as sotd and tltgya were lame. TLTGYA was one of LP most epic song they've ever written. SOTD was a pretty darn good one. not lame at all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danielpsoad-09 Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 Ermmm .. good news I guess. Good thing they're making 4-5 minute songs. Once again the famous 'narrowing process' takes place on a LP record. From 60 to 20, from 20 to 5 . Probably none of those 5 songs is going to make the final cut for the album. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FaiNt Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 one of these days, they should just give us groups of 5 new songs every few months or so Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
