Blackened_Deather Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 A radio DJ called Zane Lowe just tweeted about "The Catalyst": "Listening to new Linkin Park 'The Catalyst' right now. Very good. And not what I expected at all." "Sound wise, very little guitar replaced by an up tempo, almost jungle rhythm, urgent synth line and a really strong vocal."

Jack Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 "Very little guitar" Oh well, it's not like he was saying this for the entire album. Plus, maybe the song didnt sound right with a lot of guitar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bliss Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 "Very little guitar" Oh well, it's not like he was saying this for the entire album. Plus, maybe the song didnt sound right with a lot of guitar. I'm sure the rest of the cd will have losts of guitar especially because the ATS 6 track samples said there were a lot of guitars in the some of the songs. I hope the album has lots of guitar. But I think The Catalyst sounds cool without guitar (at least the clips i have heard) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feelthless Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 Well there are songs that Mike plays the main part, or songs where all focus is on Chester. So I don't mind having songs that are focused on the DJ rather than guitar driven. Ofc there will be songs that will have guitars from the first to the last second. So I am not worried about the Catalyst having "very little guitar" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mvaug002 Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 well we already heard some guitar in the clips, and it fits well with the song Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lakybird12 Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 Well i dont mine. there is a reason for Linkin Park to pick this one for the Lead and First single. so i think and sure that when i hear the song , I will understand Why. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJJ Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 Everything is whining too much about that theres no guitar, even after all the time complaining thats its taking too long ;p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bliss Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 I'm sure other songs will have lots of Guitar. But its a nice change to see that the Catalyst won't have much guitar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LinkinParkHotspur Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 Well, there goes my hope that this song would maybe have a secret TOTALLY unexpected guitar solo which we haven't heard. I'm hoping we will have more guitar solos on the new album though. That is one good thing that the band learned from M2M and they need to improve/continue on it. Even though he says there's not a lot of guitar, the guitar that I've already heard from the previews was awesome. It was subtle and not loud, but it was still enough to make the song much better. Maybe it doesn't need a lot of guitar. Just some guitar in the right places which I think it has. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fran07Chile Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 A radio DJ called Zane Lowe just tweeted about "The Catalyst": "very little guitar replaced by an up tempo" I am foreign so i might get this wrong, but doesnt that mean that very little of the guitar parts could of have been replaced, and not that there is very little guitar on the song. He never said, there is little guitar at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to the ATS 6 track sampler, there are a couple songs with guitar solos. and that is just 6 songs. There could be more solos also in the other 9 songs.

I'm sure there will be solos on other songs though also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sabi Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 We don't know that for sure yetthe band is consulting this song in the last LPTV.. it's totally similar to "third song" from french review (mike singing the verse, chester chorus, brad's solo at the end) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HybridThe0ry97 Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 So far all I'm hearing is what sounds to be a "remix" -- though of course it isn't -- coming in at a length of 5:42. I hope I'm wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashwhisker Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 After MTM dropped all we heard was "WHAR IS JOE!!1!one11!!!" . Now that Joe plays a much more significant role people are complaining. Good god. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hi_c21 Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 Well i dont mine. there is a reason for Linkin Park to pick this one for the Lead and First single. so i think and sure that when i hear the song , I will understand Why. i agree with you totally. and i also feel that we will know why they put it at the end of the album as well, especially if the messenger is an instrumental...

deadnbloated Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 if the catalyst has very little guitar, they did it for a reason. hakuna matata. no worries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michelbeats Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 When you're making a song/track you gotta KNOW when you can add a certain instrument. Less is more. The guitar we've heard so far fits the song, also the song is really busy and adding more instruments can clutter the whole song. Besides..... it's not even September yet so hold your breath untill then! Not trying to be sarcastic/smart ass but, if people want "The Catalyst" to have guitars, why don't you remix it and add guitars yourself hahaha.

Then we'll have more Brad and Mike next album and everyone'll be like "WHERE'S CHESTER Q-Q" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astat Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 They already proved with New Divide that a song doesn't have to be heavily guitar-based to rock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
