Mystery Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 I just listened to the whole album without interludes. The album didn't flow as weird as I thought it would. In fact, besides some of the odd transitions I really liked it without the interludes. My thought was, interludes are cool the first few times, but are they really neccessary to have unless you want to give the whole album a spin? I never can see myself walking outside jamming to Oppenheimer speaking over digital noises, or crickets. In fact, those tracks make me want to sleep. I can listen to Jornada Del Muerto though but the other 5 interludes, I can do without. I just took the interludes off my ipod. No losses there. That's the first time I ever took 6 tracks off ipod that probably added up to 6 minutes in length. What about you all?

hawk Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 I would delete all the A Thousand Suns songs from my iPod, and put Jornada del Muerto on there 16 times.

RiderSSPU Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 one thing i did not like about ATS was the interludes. yeah, they are cool the first couple times, but they just get annoying, and are wasted space. I wish ATS had more full songs. I don't care for the interludes, i never listen to them, and i wish ATS had more full songs. I'm doing your idea and listening to the album without the interludes. Usually i just skip them, but that doean't change the transitions. so i made a playlist with the songs only.

linkin_boss Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 ATS without interludes is like LPLive.net without Legend. =\ +1 from my point of view, the only interulde that shouldn't be a separate song it's empty spaces... the cricket noise is to when they come for me as the bomb sounds were for "one" in metallica's black album. i know the radiance, and wisdom justice and love are speeches, they aren't made to be heard everytime you hear songs in your iPod, they're there to give sense to the album. but as for The requiem, Jornada del Muerto and Fallout, they're pretty much instrumental material, i don't see anything wrong here, it's not like that would be different from wake or even session, because the songs aren't that short.

MarkeyLP Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 When I was listening to The Requiem and The Radiance for the first time, I had goosebumps. They should have been one song (instrumental) and the rest of interludes should have been replaced with real songs. I hope that next album's gonna have more songs. I apologise for my english.

leftshoe18 Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 from my point of view, the only interulde that shouldn't be a separate song it's empty spaces... the cricket noise is to when they come for me as the bomb sounds were for "one" in metallica's black album. . "One" is from "...And Justice For All" NOT the black piece of crap...umm....i mean album. On the subject of the interludes: I like all of them except for Empty Spaces and The Radiance as individual tracks so I wouldn't want to give them up. Empty Spaces and The Radiance should have been part of When They Come For Me and The Requiem respectively.

Mystery Posted December 12, 2010 Author Share Posted December 12, 2010 ATS without interludes is like LPLive.net without Legend. =\ A Thousand Suns without interludes is a great album. We lose two political speeches, three refrains of vocals from the album, and one set of crickets and bombs. We didn't lose much at all, now did we? If they had three new full songs, and maybe kept The Requiem, this album would be gold. The interludes fooled me, but they don't anymore. I was like "zomg this is progressive muzik lp is different nowe". Now I am like "why am I so intrested in crickets, and Oppenheimer?". They are wastes of space and time, they simply are nothing. Also, Legend thought Across The Line was better than everything on LPUX. :/ Quote Link to comment https://lplive.net/forums/topic/6392-a-thousand-suns-interludes/#findComment-120477 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xero21 Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 I like the interludes but they aren't necessary to enjoy the songs. People blew that out of proportion. LP always said the songs could easily stand alone too. The interludes just help the album flow together better.

I prefer to listen to Mike's DuhNahNahs than to some experimental pieces. Out of LPUX I only like PTB and WWDK. On topic: Empty Spaces should have been featured in Burning In The Skies last seconds instead of being a separated track and The Radiance and The Requiem should have been merged as one track, but whatever. ATS loses all of it's charm without The Requiem and Jornada Del Muerto.

LMK Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 The Requeim and Radiance should be one track, put empty spaces at the back of BITS and keep Jornada and Fallout but throw WJL. We will have a perfect album. Anyway there is no use saying you hate interludes now. They are already in the album Quote Link to comment https://lplive.net/forums/topic/6392-a-thousand-suns-interludes/#findComment-120527 Share on other sites More sharing options...
HybridThe0ry97 Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 I sort of got the feeling that Mike was trying to put his theory in practice, that people were buying songs instead of albums and that they may do well with fewer songs more frequently (or, was that Chester)? Either way, it looks like fewer songs was supplemented with more interludes. And they sure got all of us with the 15 song claim!

hawk Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 The Radiance is 4th on my interludes list, if they had The Radiance 2.0 on the album it would be 2nd. 01. Jornada del Muerto 02. Fallout 03. Wisdom, Justice, and Love 04. The Radiance 05.

They are wastes of space and time, they simply are nothing. yeah, I was gonna say whether you like the interludes or not, The Requiem has to be there. Its a perfect intro to the album, & starting straight into BITS would be very weak.

sublimeric Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 Love the interludes, hate the speeches, and think the "live version" of Radiance should have made the album for sure.

Christos_17 Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 I happy with the interludes. But really they should have made Empty Spaces and WTCFM as one song, as mentioned, a bit like Metallica's 'One'.

Pez Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 thats totally different. In a movie, almost everything is essential. I feel that the Interludes were not essential to ATS I think the opposite. Without the interludes the album doesn't flow. The album would become one of these... Track 1, end in silence Track 2, end in silence Track 3, end in silence and so on With the interludes it would keep a low going on from song to song Track one flows into Interlude which sets the mood for track two Great example is take away The radiance between The Requiem and Burning in the skies. Now without the Radiance the songs dont flow into each other Get me?

And more real song on the album would have been nice so IMO the interludes were not needed.
