About damn time they go back to the style of music they're good at.

Poppy...

Maybe I should hope for an acapella version of the album.

I have a feeling that this is going to be LP's return to mainstream audiences. Kind of like their "comeback album" in terms of popularity and sales.

 

ATS only went gold in the U.S., and it was not as popular with the casual fans, even though it's songs were deeper, more complex, and better written musically and lyrically.

ATS was a failure. I welcome more LP music to wash that bad taste out of my mouth.

Ah, back when Mike was rapping.

I thought the same, I want this and Take Away My Pride.....

QFT

When was I complaining? I think it's beyond awesome that LP releases their unreleased music to us on a yearly-basis. I was a strong advocate back in LPU3 of changing the cd's to include some music they disregarded instead of hearing live stuff.

Have I been wanting the "thoughts that take my pride away" song for 8 years? Yes, ever since I heard it on making of Meteora I thought it was badass. I'm still happy with my Meteora demos, they embarrass anything they've made ever since.

yeah, it means the logo reads "LPU". it stands for "Linkin Park Underground"

LP, in both the climates of the current economy and the imploding revenue from the music industry you release a physical CD for a relatively tiny audience, with an uncertain amount of consumption due to the entire package's cost, and yet you don't include 2 demos that you may or may not even still have copies of? you release higher quality versions of existing demos, uncover some new songs for the fans and go out of your way to grant them special access to shows, Meet & Greets and International Summits instead of these two songs? LP, your priorities are shit. Sort it out guys..

Hyperbole much?

We still didn't get the two Meteora demos we know exist!!!!!!! FML

Hell yeah!!! I wish I lived in Arizona and had a lot of money, I would go. Lol. I love DBS. I hope there is rips.

I'm going. I'll hook lplive up.

edit: oh shit, it's 250 per ticket???

Not sure anymore.

overpriced items are overpriced.

I don't think LP will have a hiatus again like they did before MTM. I think they're going to keep making albums and touring for a long time to come, and if they do take a break, it'll probably be a year or so. I want another FM record and another DBS record, I love both. But I don't know if it'll happen. LP seems to be closer right now then they ever have been.

All bands eventually take a break. I'd like to see more DBS/FM. More content the better.

Haha have you even listened to ATS?

So you're saying they were trying to appeal to what's popular at the moment? That's why they put in The Radiance, Wisdom, Justice and Love, and Fallout right? Even songs like When They Come For Me, Blackout...they're the most radio friendly song in the world right? But Numb was hardcore right and not appealing to radio just because it had heavier guitars in?

Hell, how hasn't Empty Spaces gone platinum yet?

Empty spaces is the equivalent to Foreword, it's not really a song.

LOL! That's not why they moved on. LP doesn't give a flying fuck about sales. Do you not pay attention to any interviews?

Right, they're going to be brutally honest about sales. Of course they're not going to say they accommodated to the general masses to sell more records. I understand your passion for the band-I once had that passion too. I'm just being honest here, lots of old LP fans believe they sold out with ATS. I too, hold that belief.

Gotta be the dumbest thing I have ever heard by anyone. ATS is the OPPOSITE of selling out. Just had this conversation with 10 Years on Sunday.

Whatever man, be a blind fanboy. ATS was selling out in my opinion. They created music that is currently popular to sell. Rock/Hip hop doesn't sell as much so they moved on. Prove me wrong.

If you've joined just to bitch and moan about the album, which some people like myself consider it the best then you should just leave before you get started.

Because someone has a different opinion than you, you immediately reject it and indirectly call them a troll?

Anyways, I try to forget ATS even happened. I was really let down by it. The catalyst might be the worst song I've ever heard . The band sold out big time with this one.

Still their worst album to date by far. I only like BITS, Blackout and Blackbirds.

Haha. It's a good thing Mike sang it, but, as expected, it sounded fucking horrible.

This. I'd rather them play the whole song then just a minute of it, but it still didn't sound as good( surprise, surprise, Mike is a rapper!)

sounds better than ATS

Someone asked Ryu yesterday if there was going to be another FM record. His reply was ''Naw I don't think so''. Sorry to get everyone's hopes down, but Mike has even pretty much said that too.

Then he said maybe, it's Mike's call. I don't know what to think. I hope FM could come back, maybe independently.

Warner and money got to him. Unfortunately, they aren't allowed to be who they were anymore.

For me, the problem is I don't like any of the new stuff they play(ATS singles) and the old stuff I do like, but I've heard it a billion times because they keep playing the same singles(Crawling,ITE). I just wish they could interchange a few songs here and there to make them more desirable to see. Most bands don't have 25 singles LP, it won't kill the casual fan to hear a song they're not familiar with- switch the damn set list up a bit.

Everyone knows my opinion when it comes to all the bitching, It really ruins this site.

 

If some people dont like it then maybe you should go ahead and join the rest of these guys...

I'm not a hater at all. I'm a diehard fan obviously or I wouldn't be around after the past years of disappointment.

LP: catering to the mainstream/casual fan since 2007.

The last FM shows were the shows at Summer Sonic 2006...unless you count Mike coming out on SOB's set at PR07 for a few songs a FM show.

I do(3 song set). The show was after the PR tour was over.

we need a fort minor show, that would be a lot cooler

You could have just said in before spraypaintninkpens because that's what I was going to say.

At any rate, I like DBS more than I currently like LP's music so this is still good news.

Let me add, I was at the last FM show. It was in Vegas on September 8th, 2007.
