I have always said it. Mike has been bad about describing stufff. Like Remember how Mike said LT was very folk heavy? FUCKING HELL THERES ONE TRUE FOLK SONG ON THERE FFS
Also when The Catalyst came out he said the album ATS will be like that, and to me thats not true either.
Yeah, I am a bit upset about the new record. I do like Battle Symphony but I listned to too much (5 times, I counted). So I fucking tired of it.
Also that Mike said THP was there because he didn't want Rock bands to do pop shit and then does OML kinda pisses me off too. And before everybody says "dude he said that YEARS ago" I am not denying that but he said it, its something that hes basically kicking himself with right now.
For me, it has less to do with LP shouldn't do straight electro-pop, but rather, when you realize it doesn't sound good, why bother? Heck there were some electro demos on LPU releases that I really enjoyed and felt that if they were a song they could be something.
Before anybody says "oh you're probably just a butthurt nu-metal fanboy." ATS is my favorite Linkin park album and I couldn't wait until its out.
Like for some reason even hearing Chester in that BTS clip made me shudder, like it was something that should not be taking place.
I mean this album is giving me very mixed feelings. Like I don't mind pop music and I listen to some, but even for generic pop what we got so far (BS and Heavy) is weak even for those standards. And while I think I listen to BS regularly I reallydon't like LP doing that type of stuff.
