Qwerty18 Posted July 10, 2010 Share Posted July 10, 2010 I wonder if the untitled track was "The Catalyst". I immediatly thought the instrumental stems (drums, keyboard, piano) sounded very NIN-ish...Anyway, interesting article, the wait 'til the album comes out is becoming harder and harder each day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LPSebi Posted July 10, 2010 Share Posted July 10, 2010 Really cool. Hope it's not too political... MTM was enough... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
immortalsoul Posted July 10, 2010 Share Posted July 10, 2010 Well the "Nine Inch Nails" part made my day. Ha! Oh yes, I loved that as well! Industrial and synth influences? Really nice to hear for me being a Julien-K lover Really cool. Hope it's not too political... MTM was enough... Hmm yeah... I actually thought they would focus more on political topics because you know, their lives are good now! They don't have to worry about anything anymore and they have dealt with their past in their first two albums. They are over it and are enjoying life, so they have to turn to all the other miseries in the world for their lyrics. I mean, Chester obviously had some more recent problems but he dealt with them in Dead By Sunrise so now he might be done with that as well. I think that's the reason why they are sticking to more general topics now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that's the reason why they are sticking to more general topics now. thats whats im saying too... their older now and the lyrics that they wrote on HT and Meteora were mostly about their past. but NOW, with their 4th album coming out and living the good life its harder to relate totheir past now that their 10 years away from it. its like some rappers that only writes about money, fame and girls, because thats all they could relate to......

leftshoe18 Posted July 10, 2010 Share Posted July 10, 2010 I personally will welcome a political shift in lyrical themes. They're more mature as writers and when you mature, you typically stop whining about what happened to you as a teenager. I loved Hands Held High and would like to see more songs taken in that direction lyrically. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xero21 Posted July 10, 2010 Share Posted July 10, 2010 Speaking of Rick Rubin, if ATS is amazingly awesome, are the fans going to give him the credit for that? Since everyone seemed to want to give him all the "credit" for MTM (in a lot of cases the "blame" for it). Just wondering if all the people who bad-mouthed Rubin before and acutally said Don Gilmore was better (wtf) would be willing to praise him. For the record I don't think the producer has too much of an effect on the albums. It's LP's work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the record I don't think the producer has too much of an effect on the albums. It's LP's work. A lot of people 'blamed' Don Gilmore and Rick Rubin's efforts on all 3 albums. Only time will tell if the same will happen to Rubin with ATS, but as a gambling man I'll say that there are going to be a lot of negative comments lobbed his way as it sounds as if there'll be some new elements. Everyone still wants to hear LP circa 1999-2000. I agree 100% with you - at the end of the day, it's LP's work and they could have just as easily parted ways with him if they didn't stand by the work he's done.

gorast Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 so...is brad even still a member of LP?? lol Weeeeell Mike was like "we already have a guitarist in the group" so prolly then again he was probably talking about himself so WHO KNOWS also yes political lyrics, as long as it's not super overboard like Rage Against the Machine or Anti-Flag Rubin's hit and miss IMO, but he generally knows what to work on and what to sit back and let the band work on, so he's very good in that respect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShinigamiPWN Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 "with lyrics that address everything from the recession to the conflicts in the Middle East" i hope it's not too political This. =/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bliss Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 (edited) The whole article made my day!!! But LP talking to media about the album is holding up the album. lmao. Also that article makes me happy. I can't wait for the new album. I agree about what everyone is saying about the lyrics. Also, as for me, I never blamed Rick Rubin for MTM (it wasn't horrible, but wasn't great), and I never gave credit to Don Gilmore for the great albums HT and Meteora. I never give credit or blame the producers. Linkin Park makes the music they want and I respect that.
