hi_c21

so theyre playing more than just the catalyst? cool

song is pretty good. album is really good. BUT WTF HAPPENED TO FORTUNATE SON W/SCOTT STAPP?!?!?! anybody know?

1/5? I havent listened to the album but this guy is a prick. I've never seen a review that refuses to shed ANY positive light on an album...I hope he's dead wrong about this album and that he's just a dumbass. But we'll see I guess. And yeah NYDN sucks big time. Let's get some actual newspapers in here. My school newspaper writes better reviews than this and they have the highest admissions rate in the conference. It wasn't even really a review it was a rant. A review would go through the entire thing in much more depth. This guy should be fired. Not for not liking the record, but for being such a one-sided douche about the thing and then writing nothing but mean shit. Bash the album, do what you want. But if you ever, EVER put Bieber in with linkin park, i WILL hunt you down.

I don't think anyone could have said it better. And I believe on that note, we should all cease this waging war and WAIT to listen to the whole thing. God bless us, everyone - we're a broken fanbase debating on a thousand suns...lol goodnight ppl

when they come for me = Mambo Number 5 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uz4eHPD40w4

based ONLY ON THE 30-SECOND CLIPS requiem - sounds pretty frickin sweet. radiance - kinda cool, good build up but strange burning in the skies - so disappointed. i was really excited for it but it sounds so generic. empty spaces - didnt listen. savin it. when they come for me - pretty cool. i like it. wanna hear some chester though robot boy - ew. i do not like this so far. jornada del muerto - has potential. i'll leave it at that. waiting for the end - sounds really good. i think this one will grow on me. blackout - cool screaming but i dont like how they mess with it and split it up wretches and kings - easily one of my favorites. wisdom, justice and love - i dont like that they changed MLK's voice. idk we'll see. piano sounds cool. iridescent - i like this. a lot. fallout - meh. the catalyst - so far easily the best, unfortunately... the messenger - WOW. actually this is the best. holy shit. great way to end it. wish it built up from acoustic guitar though. overall, i know we cant judge it all on 30 second clips and i'm not going to yet but when they said it would be different, they werent kidding. again, we'll see. LP forever \m/

i was skeptical at first but adam youre the bee's knees so i trust you. Sounds like it could be a great single. The reggae style is awesome but i am kind of hoping it isnt a trend throughout the album. It's a little harder reggae than in Wretches & Kings but still similar. This definitely has potential to be a chart-topper and finally dethrone OneRepublic's Secrets lol. Good song but the radio station here plays it 247 times a day lol

lol dingleberry. shoulda kept it that way. maybe on LPUX lol

^ and im about ta break

haha same reaction for me dude.

this song is excellent. too different from the catalyst to compare though :/ 4.8/5 lol

Great news!!! But...idk what to do!! I kind of want to listen to it for the first time ON THE ALBUM...but I am so tempted to listen to it!! lol what should I do?? Screw it. Just listened to the ESPN clip on LPA and nothing will stop me from listening to it tomorrow and 500 more times before the album lol and you bet your butt that sh*t is gonna be blaring from my car.

excellent review. love the insight and purpose it shows in the record.

That video was great. One of the best they've done. Would've liked more paint action though lol Mtv was too blurry for me...excited for an HQ version

Mike is so dark...love the end where he's confronting the guy in the gas mask. B.A.M. = BAD ASS MIKE

It's gonna be on the DVD?! WIN. I hope it's on there in a video file for itunes, etc also...

this video looks like it could be the best they've ever done. I'm definitely going to buy it on iTunes when it gets released... speaking of which does anyone know if blackbirds, the video, and the "full experience" will be "album only"?

Hahninator said that the monthly membership entitles you to the merch store, so I assume you can join for a month and get any merchandise you want from the store including the LPUX CD and t-shirts EDIT: This is incorrect. I read it wrong. As far as we know, you must pay $60 to have access to merch.

pretty exciting clip - looks like maybe there's a backstory or some kinda purpose behind this video...something that hasn't been extremely prevolent since WID and nothing acted out for it since From the Inside

buh-zing

omg that was SICK. I think Phoenix should burp at the end of blackout. seriously.

I don't think Mike liked the wurst lol

after reading the review again, I can't wait for this album either. It's gonna be so different I think that there will be no pure genre, no "radio singles". It will be one big artistic story. I was kinda hoping they'd turn it into like a "music movie" or something lol but man some of these things so almost like milestone calibur material

excellent point. I completely forgot about that. I feel kind of selfish now lol. Mike is a genius. I shouldn't question his insight. I should just stop panicking, wait for the album to drop, and judge for myself. and this sounds like one epic and interesting journey...I wonder what the itunes "A Thousand Suns: The Full Experience" is now!!

Those short tracks may be great listening all the way through an album but if you're shuffling songs, that could get really annoying and pointless. like in reanimation. If they're not good they're just taking up space imo...
