That's really nice of them. They uploaded it on their youtube channel

Do you think LP would ever consider changing the key of songs like New Divide in order to make them less difficult for Chester? I understand that it could be tricky because of all the samples and various guitar tunings they use, but I'd rather hear Chester sing in a more comfortable key than what we have now.

Thank god the band is actually in it. I can actually be excited now knowing its not something like BITS and LITE

I think we should all be proud that an album with songs like KTTK, GATS and War made it to the top 3 in its first week. As people said before, this wasn't a very commercial release and it's surprising that this type of music even charted so high.

UIG

I'm glad we're getting actual music videos and not anything like LITE and that Project Spark crap

The summoning. It's the only one I really wouldn't listen to because it's an interlude.

Mike's mic during IMR was WAY too loud. God damn..

 

During the LT sessions, they posted a pic of it on Instagram. I will try and find it, it's funny.

It's hilarious that it even has the palm tree picture that was mentioned in the interview

The lyrics on the credits song sound like something they would put on a demo. Especially the "donna" parts

I hope the version of FM with Mike's vocals ends up on a LPU CD someday. That'd be really cool to hear.

Alone: AFN, Rebellion, FM

In Album: KTK, Drawbar, ALINTS

It's ironic that everyone wanted a really heavy record yet the softest track, Final Masquerade, has the most votes as of now

What's the deal with the autotune on Chester's voice during GATS? I wasn't aware they use it live since I've seen many performances where Chester and Mike can be out of tune at times, but even if they did, it was never this noticeable and horrible sounding. It's not even set in the right key either.

The blend of visual effects and band performance were great, unlike in some of their other videos where the effects would be too distracting.

This will be interesting for sure. I don't usually watch the show but I might tune in just to see Mike.

I think songs like War and All For Nothing are going to come across really nice in a live setting. Even though I love ALITS, I don't know if could translate as well.

I really don't know how to describe this album right now. I really liked it and its a very different approach from the band. None of these songs sound like anything they've done before. It's like they are a new band again with a new sound. I'm proud of LP for making this record and I really hope they continue to go in this direction on future records to come.

Is it just me, or does it sound like parts of GATS a were used in ALITS guitar-wise?

I'm pretty sure this was intentional. It feels like they wrote the song as a continuation of GATS. I highly doubt they'd accidentally write 2 songs that have the same chord structure and overall vibe.

2007 for me. I was a fan of them for awhile but I didn't really become a "die hard" fan until then.

I've also been keeping myself in the dark by not listening to anything new since UIG. I don't think I'm even going to listen to the album before it leaks either. I want to experience the album for the first time when I receive the physical copy.

I've got to say that the artwork looks really fantastic for these singles though.

This manager sounds very unprofessional and immature to me. It's a shame that pathetic bands like SwR have to resort to shit like this to get publicity.

Even though I chose ATS as my favorite, I do enjoy LT as well. I think LITE and COG are some of the best songs LP has produced. The three minute "firecracker" songs were a great contrast to the atmospheric tracks of ATS. It was a great direction to take at that time and if they continued to do more of an abstract type of music like ATS, then I think it would've been a little too much.

ATS for me. Not every song on the album is my favorite LP song, but as a whole it is their strongest album IMO. Listening to it the first time was just an overall great musical experience for me

I wonder what people would actually fight over if LP just did the same thing over and over again...

All music is subjective and everyone likes different things, so arguing over it is a lost cause.

I'm grateful that my favorite band has the balls to experiment and change the game each time instead of making the same kind of album.

Btw good trailer. I really hope they release a 30+min documentary at some point.

Do you guys remember the list of song bpm and key signatures Mike posted a few months back? One of them was listed as "Drums Only" instead of a having key. Maybe this could be The Summoning if its a supposed instrumental track. Its just an assumption, but I think that would be really interesting.
