I mainly agree on this. Like, even tho it wouldn't stand out like a sore thumb like, say, on OML, I feel QWERTY is more nu metal-ish even in the studio form

I think QWERTY on MTM would have been kinda weird not because it heavy but because it’s nu metal, like, NMS is heavy but it’s a rock song. QWERTY would fit more on a record like THP, out of the non nu metal albums by the band. Certainly not on records like OML or ATS lol. LT maybe, considering there’s Victimized in there, and that record is a blend of “eras”

OMG THE 2006 JAPANESE LIVE OF QWERTY ON STREAMING PLATFORMS. THANK YOU

DO IT AGAIN! I LIKE THE WAY HE SAID THAT ! BWAAAAAAAA FUCK!

Last time somebody posted here we had like rumors about the band working on the 4th album …😂😂

I really didn’t like that one 😂

I'd love that too, like, having the "put me out of my fucking miseryyyy" part sung in a pop style, à la Backstreet Boys

ahaha yeah my bad. I hope with MTM20 we get the Given Up pop version ahaha

Cool news, a cover by someone who is related in some ways to the band. I really like her part on Where'd you go

Someone who would struggle to name 5 LP songs besides the ones on Papercuts would not acknowledge these “minimal” differences

I don’t like tribute bands that much but I take HT (tribute band) as a homage to LP and their art, so no deception at all, just something I personally am not a big fan, but respect them

I love the host of this conversation, she sumed up the reason why I and us fans love LP so much.

Chester only has writing credits on HR and Heavy off OML, yeah. Totally agree on lyrics fitting the vibe of the album sonically, imagine screaming and heavy riffs on OML (song) or a pop leaning NCSM-ish instrumental on Given Up, lol. HT and OML reflect sonically the vibe of their lyrics

The point is not that, to me the point is that LP wrote really good lyrics in their career (even Mike as a solo artist did that on stuff like OA or Promises I can’t keep), but the OML hate even on the lyrics really bothers me, especially if the “role model” for lyrics is HT where you have some great stuff but even some songs where the lyrical content is as generic as the worst OML track. I hate when there’s this generalization in concepts.

Lyrics are bland but not the worst lol, do you think runaway or APFMH have Better lyrics ?

The synths remind me of Numb, and it could sit on LT with songs like IMR and IBG very easily

People literally make memes based on some HT lyrics... like, some of them are good but some others are kinda cringy or kinda generic... Like, to me OML (song) is a lot stronger than most of stuff on HT lyrically. Invisible is a strong song about being a parent and HR is 100% Chester

Talking about the lyrics ? At least it's not "GIMME BACK WHAT'S MIIIINE" or the generic anti-something lyrics like AFN and GATS. If you're talking about the sound, UIG sounds more like modernized Meteora/LT than OML dude

I like UIG to be honest, I know I am the black sheep lol. But yeah, GATS is iconic among the fans but was not "GH level LP song".

Yeah, kinda weird move. Personally tho, I wouldn't have included GATS on a GH, like, it was nowhere near as succesful as any other song on Papercuts, FM has twice the streams of GATS on Spotify and crossed 150M on YT IIRC.

Like, LOATR was massive back in the day, but yeah FM had to be there, since it was quite big at least in alternative radio. Totally omitting an entire album out of "only" 7 records is super weird. Plus, no SOTD is super weird too since it was everywhere on the radio and peaked high on Billboard, like, higher than anything post New Divide...

Yeah like, even if THP is my least fav LP album and the least succesful by the band, leaving the album out of a GH compilation makes no sense, even more in the case of a band with relatively short discography, like LP is not Black Sabbath, make it 21 songs and put FM on it at least

To be honest I am glad I did not purchase a special pricey edition of this release, considering the issues present many of you are talking about. I am super happy this release got us FF, one of my fav LP b-sides to date, and QWERTY on Spotify. As for the rest, I hope the release spreads LP fame among the casuals and potential young new fans. As many here said, this release is not exactly for us diehard fans but for someone who would go “oh wow, this 2006 song called QWERTY wasn’t on any album and it’s so heavy”

If we are talking about lyrics, you can't deny OML >>>>>>> THP, like the latter has some good lyrics like Rebellion or FM, but the generic anti - something stuff a la RATM is ehhh

NO MATTER WHAT YOU SEE, YOU'RE STILL SO BLIND TO MEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
