BNCMajor Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 I don't see why Linkin Park should sound like 30stm just because of this sentence. "Nomen est omen" ;-) Portishead has a song called Numb too (a real classic btw) and it has nothing to do with Linkin Park's Numb which was released 8 years later. To sound like 30stm isn't something to be proud about anyway... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squide Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 Lyrically 30stm isn't an amazing example..IMO..I'm listenning to them, and they're interesting to me in way of making their tour and etc.. But LP's songs are lyrically better then 30stm's.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidOhri Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 To sound like 30stm isn't something to be proud about anyway... i don't like people saying things like that, cause that's something so very subjective and it just depends on one's taste... maybe you don't like 30stm. but others do... and it's not fair to say that in such a generalized way. (just saying, no bitching ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GigaScythe Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 I think 30 Seconds To Mars are very over-the-top, over-dramatic. But that's just my opinion. I think with their music videos they take themselves way too seriously. I don't know whether I'd prefer LP to stick with lyrics like their previous albums or not; probably, to be honest. I find it easiest to relate with those sorts of lyrics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still, it's true that LP lyrics, mostly Chester's, are very weak. BUT, Mike's rapping is always interesting (not always, but most of the time). Actually their best lyrics are in their earlier songs, like High Voltage, Dedicated, A Place for my Head, Papercut... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOLLOLOLOLOL << That one too thiiiiis 30STM doesn't interest me whatsoever. Just saying. I do agree with LP lyrics though...generally, Chester tends to write about the same general topics (which isn't always bad and is understandable to a degree), but the music ends up sounding good, particularly when Mike's rapping over it. But if the lyrics go conceptual and start having more meaning to them...oh man, good shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShinigamiPWN Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 (IF the single is called "A Thousand Suns..") A Thousand Suns = Elephants? = Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This.....i just hope they dont manage to fuck it up, cause when you are writing conceptual lyrics you have to be really careful in every process of the writing. That could be the main reason it is taking so long, cause concept albums generally take longer to write than a normal album. This is because the band has to write the story behind the album before they even begin to write the lyrics. If they pull it off though it will be the shit. So keeping my fingers crossed.

So keeping my fingers crossed. you mean like 21st Century Breakdown? ;D But yeah, this'll shoot to the top of my list of favorite LP releases immediately if they do it right. I'm wondering though...when did Mike say they'd started writing for the album? 2008? mid-2009? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Linkin Park isnt actually writing a story, they just want the album to sound like da album all together have this overall feeling but idk. like mike said on rollingstone "This isn't necessarily a record that tells a story about a character or anything like that, but I do hope the record has a sonic identity, from beginning to end" also they're tryin to achieve a new cutting edge sound that is different but sound really really really good that is whats holdin them back but yeah we should erase all these concepts out of our minds... lol Edited June 28, 2010 by LPkillz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gtrnowak4tkd Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 Late 2008 I thought it was earlier than that. I thought they started writing at the end of the last full tour......wait nevermind that was late 2008 my bad lol yeah they started writing the record....then michael bay side-tracked them....then they toured (while still writing they said) then they entered the studio yet again and have been since then lol.

Lotsa_spaghetti Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 I think the album's gonna be called "A Thousand Elephants From The Sun". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LPkillz Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 Late 2008 its 2007 actually cause they were writing on da back of da bus during Projekt Revolution 07 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geki Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 Amen to that. Still, it's true that LP lyrics, mostly Chester's, are very weak. Not at all. Chester's lyrics are just raw emotion, they're simplistic, but they really get the emotion out in the song. I love all of Chester's lyrics.

LPxDC Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 its 2007 actually cause they were writing on da back of da bus during Projekt Revolution 07uhhh no they weren't. The earliest info anybody got is that they were writing on the break between the Us 08 arena tour - summer tour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hahninator Posted June 28, 2010 Author Share Posted June 28, 2010 uhhh no they weren't. The earliest info anybody got is that they were writing on the break between the Us 08 arena tour - summer tour. Yeah I think you are right Richard. That's when that article came out of Mike writing in I think Prague? with pics included and everything. Damn that was ages ago. I wonder what the stuff sounded like that he recorded there. and also...MUSE. Saw someone mention Muse. Damn I am on a HUGE Muse high right now. Last night's show was epic. I love Matt Bellamy. Muse is the best live band in the world, they really fucking bring it. I love their live show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MONDREUS240 Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 I don't mind the name "A Thousand Suns" for the album name, it would actually be pretty cool. And what if it's the name of the album and first single? =0. Anyway, new LPTV could probably come along in late July or early August, I hope.

levisa92 Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 (edited) oh...a thousand suns....if it's the name of the record...it's baaaad...very bad...IMO.. for me it's associated with 30 STM...they have some kind of "spacethemicalnames..." or Muse...if Muse...It's better... muse's songs lyrics are spacey coz muse hv a conspiracy theorist who is matthew bellamy XDbut LP's lyrics are simple, straight and directly express wt they feel Edited June 28, 2010 by larisa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[offtopic]muse f*cking owned glastonbury, probably it's one of their best shows i could see they had put 200% energy and really enjoy the show~ it reminded me their show in hong kong in this feb, just full of awesomeness : D [/offtopic] XDD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
