Southpaw262 Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 My December was never intended to be on Hybrid Theory. In fact, it was recorded after HT was released. They recorded it in Nashville in late 2000 so it could be on a compilation album, I believe by KROQ. That's right. I remember that now.

Astat Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 I was just researching on LP Catalogue about Vinyl releases of the main albums and I was surprised to see Meteora had a vinyl release but why on earth was it pressed on TWO vinyl records? http://lpcatalog.com/item/2003_meteora/vinyl/0093624818618_us It's their shortest studio album so far, so if LT, HT and MTM could all fit on one record, why not Meteora? ATS and Reanimation had to be on two as they where both longer than 45 minutes. meteora is a measly 36 minutes! What gives? $$$ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiq fLP Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 I think this one is for Astat: You said in your 'The Hunting Party' review (great, by the way) that Until It's Gone wasn't intended to be on the album. What is the history behind it? Can you explain this, please? Thanks ^^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChuckCheese Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 Until It's Gone was made for the new Transformers movie, ended up being for the game instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is the history behind it? Can you explain this, please? Thanks ^^ Putting it on the album was an afterthought, the band probably assumed that Michael Bay would pick their song to be the movie's "main track" given their past relationship, and he threw them for a loop when he picked Imagine Dragons' submission instead. Remember that article from about 7-8 months ago where someone was hanging around the studio where LP was recording and mentioned them "mixing a song for a movie soundtrack?" That was Until It's Gone. I know the song title was on the tracking board in the THP teaser video, but that was shot so late in the process that the decision not to have it on Transformers 4 would have been made by then. So yeah, that's a big part of why UIG bugs me so much. They basically shoehorned a song that was recorded for an entirely different project into the tracklisting of their album that was recorded with a completely different mindset...and it shows. Outside of Final Masquerade (which is an infinitely better song), UIG has very little in common with anything else on the album.

And the fact that the band or, at least Chester, wasn't saying too much about Transformers OST, just "I don't know, we'll see" talk really bugs me, probably that's the reason. Thanks guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1996_LP Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 Really interesting stuff. UIG is certainly the "What I've done" of this album. If not more so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southpaw262 Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 Why does Mike's voice sound so low on Hybrid Theory and Meteora but when they played live, it wasn't? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pez Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 Why does Mike's voice sound so low on Hybrid Theory and Meteora but when they played live, it wasn't? Mixing in a studio is completely different then mixing live. Studio you have hours to spend on songs and even weeks to work out how you want the vocals to sound and sit within the music, come live, its then and there on the spot. 9/10 you dont want to bury your vocals as much as you do in an album.

Michelbeats Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 Is there a making of... The Hunting Party? I'm super duper curious about the whole process. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geki Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 Is there a making of... The Hunting Party? I'm super duper curious about the whole process. No, LP did not release a making of for the album in physical form like they did on previous albums (except for LIVING THINGS, which did not have a physical form of a making of, either). I was almost positive that we were going to get some LPTV episodes from the process, but we still have not got anything and the album has been out quite a while now, almost a full month. We might get some stuff in upcoming LPTV episodes, I just find it strange that for every other album cycle since MTM, we have got studio footage episodes leading up to the album and after the album dropped. For LIVING THINGS in particular we had footage of them making certain songs way before the album even coming out, the first episode dating at April 2012 when the album came out in late June 2012.

I mean that Mike's voice on Hybrid Theory and Meteora sounds low compared to the other four albums. Was there just more effects added them and more raw now?

Thanks for responding! I was really hoping to catch glimpse of the process. But oh well.. Maybe this is a part of the "Doing things unconventional" like Joe said.

Southpaw262 Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 The intro to Blackout has reversed vocals by Chester. What is he saying? Sounds like lyrics from the 2nd verse, but it's all gibberish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
