  1. I've been sitting on this question for years...

     

    What are the official titles of all the LPU CDs? Linkinpedia labels all the releases as "LP Underground (_)" but the packaging for many shows wildly different naming schemes, and Discogs/MusicBrainz also use even more different naming schemes, often also omitting "Linkin Park" from the title entirely (though I think this is mostly due to a lack of understanding that the fan club is called LPU). And metadata really matters to me. Looking at my own collection plus images from Discogs, etc for the ones I don't have, the titles read:

    • LP Underground 2.0 (or more accurately, "LP Underground" [2.0], but that's nitpicky)
    • Linkin Park Underground (main cover says this, inside cover refers to it as "LP Underground 3")
    • Linkin Park Underground 4.0
    • Linkin Park Underground 5.0
    • Linkin Park Underground 6
    • LP Underground 7
    • No comment on 8, surprisingly it's the most straightforward
    • Linkin Park Underground 9: Demos
    • LP Underground X: Demos
    • Linkin Park Underground Eleven
    • Linkin Park Underground 12 (per spine)
    • Linkin Park Underground XIII
    • Linkin Park Underground XIV (per additional merchandise)
    • Linkin Park Underground 15 (not sure about this one)
    • Linkin Park Underground Sixteen

    Does this really matter that much? Probably not. Does it still bug me and burn for a definitive answer? Yes. Thanks for your attention and have a nice day.

  2. I like this crap, even though I listen to a lot of metal and rock. I like all music genres, but it's not as rare as you might think to like pop music, when you're a metal fan. I assume that many people (and I) don't care about genre, it's about whether I like it or not. I mean, how did you survive the MTM, ATS and LT era?

    Preach.

  3. I love this album. I was so skeptical after Heavy and eventually moved on from hyping it but it surprised me so much.

     

    The outsiders helped the lyrics immensely. This is a pleasant turn, especially with how songs like Sorry for Now, Invisible, One More Light, and Sharp Edges turned out. I'm extraordinarily disappointed that my preorder CD was delayed because I want it on my shelf now.

     

    Favorite track: Sorry for Now

    Least-favorite track: Talking to Myself (easily one of the weakest songs on the album, but still a good song)

     

    EDIT: Read through more of the thread and I'd like to address the person who said that anyone who loves this album can't possibly like rock. I listen to heavy artists going as far as metal acts like Make Them Suffer, Periphery, Asking Alexandria, and Chelsea Grin. You're embarrassing yourself.

  4. Also, was Blackbirds ever released as a single of any sorts in 2010? I know it was included as a bonus track on the iTunes edition of ATS but I could have sworn it saw some other form of a release, like a digital single or something, somewhere.

    Would this be including or not including 8-Bit Rebellion?

  5. I've just noticed that during the ATS tour cycle, there was a theremine standing on the left side (from Mike's perspective) of Mike's keyboard. Was it used during the recording of ATS? Was it used during the live performances, and if it was, then during which songs?

    Mike used a theremin on When They Come for Me. From what I've seen and heard, he used it to control the velocity and other factors of the synth in the bridge or something to that effect. You can see him reaching to the side during every performance of WTCFM and slowly shifting his hand as the filter effect changes for that synth. He also uses it to control the bass synth in New Divide like Yucker said.

     

    It was more used as a controller for effects than anything else live. Highly unlikely that it was used when recording.

  6. This was mentioned in a conversation on reddit, can you verify this Astat (or anyone else who would know)?

     

     

     

    Fun fact... Every member of the band has their vocals featured on "Forgotten" during the "Now you got me caught in the act, You bring the thought back" line.

    Each iteration of "back" (after the first) has a different member of the band shouting "BACK!" alongside Mike.

  7. 1. Numb (Hip-Hop version)

    2. Numb (Dubstep remix)

    3. Numb (03 Demo)

    4. Numb (Metal remix)

    5. Numb/Encore (Instrumental)

    6. Bubbles Pt. 2

    7. Unicorn

    8. Numb (Live from Phoenix 2014)

    9. Numb (Drums only)

    10. Pictureboard

    6 of these things are already out there.

  8. Keyboards/samples and drums are high on the list

     

    ...so no guitar sound on it?! :o :D

    That's not at all what they're saying. That just means they're prioritizing composing the keyboards, samples, and drums over guitar.

     

    Unless of course you're being sarcastic.

  9. Considering Brad said literally a few days ago that it's still pretty early in the process, and they're only just now starting to figure out the style of the record, I highly doubt they have a single finished, much less are about to release it.

    Linkin Park makes up crap all the time, intentionally or unintentionally. I think it's established that we have to take everything they say with a grain of salt. :lol:
