Same here. I don’t see them coming back with something that sounds too similar to the past releases. A LP8 would basically be a “”rebirth”” after the trauma and the obvious period of hiatus so I’d expect something different from, say, OML. 

To be completely honest, I wouldn’t mind something different from OML. That album was wierd, but I get it. I dont expect ATS, which would be awesome, but I think it might be an album full of songs they would pull off live. That would be playable and wouldnt be like a milion backing tracks and some live instruments

Yeah, some songs might be skippable, that applies to rest of bands catalogue. Its cool seeing the band evolve. Hope to see some kind of evolution on their next release whenever it may be released

Who the hell cringes at HT or Meteora?

So cool, he seems like a nice dude!

My problem is that if he releases an album in the mood/style of Happy Endings (and even Open Door) my interest is like super super low, and that’s sad. I mean I’m not comparing him to LP it would be very wrong to do it, but new Mike doesn’t excite me as it should (and as I hope it would). I mean I see some of you being excited for the jams and even Happy Endings and I totally lost track with that feeling. So that’s why I wish Mike would go “fuck I want to go full experimental even if this sells 5000 copies”. 

 I have to agree with you on that. I love the experimental insane vibes.

This song grew up on me a little bit.

But Mike has to stop trying to be the cool old dude between the young kids.

Yeah, it is a bit wierd. The video is a bit cringe to me, it’s like a home video of dad hanging out with his kids and their friends.

He should release it under his name on all streaming platfroms. If it is inspired by NIN, then just go for it. 

I like the APFMH lyrics more than Esaul. And Stick N Move demo is really great with Chester, but the vibe of that chorus is not really doing it for me. It never did even when I heard the original demo with Mark back in the day. But I love listening to the earlier versions of songs, it's awesome to see the evolution of everything.

Such a great interview! Pure gold, gonna listen to it again! Awesome

I believe we would not get more these old demos in near future, officially. The band gave us what they thought was good enough for the HT20 release, so I wouldn't expect anything more now. 

Good for Mike. I hope we would see some LP news in 2022.

I very much agree. I never did like that part of THP's promotion. He shit on pop music basically and even named some examples. That was definitely odd and felt out of character for him both before and since.

 

The most ironic part was that he spent that time talking about how music has gone soft and all that, but then the first single from LP's next album was Heavy.

Haha, that's right. Weren't they even like "I wanna make only guitar driven music from now on!"?

Yeah and at least I’m happy the response to Mike’s solo stuff and the new song is generally positive. I mean, at least some people learned that it’s not POP=SHIT. Also, you can express distaste for a song/album/band without being offensive, I don’t like Happy Endings but I’d never act like IT’S SHIT/GARBAGE/MIKE SHOULD STOP MAKING MUSIC or stuff like that, I’d be a childish stupid idiot. 

Exactly, I’m not a fan of HE, but I get some fans enjoy it. Why not, everyone has a different taste.

Yeah his review of OML was fairly brutal and I disagreed with a lot of it, but I at least respect the fact that, while he acknowledged that it's tragic that Chester is gone, his opinion of OML hasn't changed.

 

I should also point out that while his review was indeed brutal, it wasn't just a mindless hate fest like a lot of people had when OML came out. Meaning it wasn't "THIS IS POP! POP IS BAD!" Fantano is knowledgeable about what he does, so I could see where his criticisms were coming from even if I disagreed.

I agree with you. The amount of hate towards the pop direction at the time was absurd.

I wasn’t saying he should reevaluate. I was saying it’ll be more a interesting interview because he won’t. 

Oh ok cool, I misunderstood that

It’d be cool to have female collabs but maybe not a stable sixth female member, I don’t know. It’s always the same discussion: a new member entering in a band with a 20 + years old relationship, story and dynamics with the weight of taking Chester’s place. It’s really hard. 

Yeah, they are in a really rough place regarding the situation, I love the band and I will support their decision regarding their future, but I would like to know where we’re at tbh

I’d reeeeeally like Mike/LP to go on a weird road, experimenting even with a female vocalist (nothing against to it). 

Right? I thought some time ago that LP moving on with a female vocalist would be really cool. But I dont know if that would be good for the band dynamics.

If Mike would do an album with a female singer/songwriter, that would be really interesting. Especially if it would go in an experimental route. Anyone a fan of You&Me by Pink and Dallas Green? That was unexpected of Pink and it was great

Its not like fans or people who are positive towards the music should be the only people that do interviews with artists. 

We've got something we could really expect. Overall the song is meh. PT is mostly great, I really enjoyed "fine". 

Why should he re-evaluate? It was his opinion, he didn't mind other LP albums, he didn't like OML. It's not like OML is the greatest LP album tbh. There are some good songs (NCSM, TTM, SE or BS) but overall it felt a bit underwhelming at the time and still feels like it to me regarding the circumstances which happened later on. I still skip Invisible, Good Goodbye or Sorry For Now. The interview's gonna be interesting nevertheless. I do not think there should be any apologies. LP did an album they strongly believed is good, a reviewer didn't. It's not like that OML is the only album ever with negative reviews. There's ton of them. I know positive reviews make the artist feel good and the negative just tear them down, I lived through that myself as my band's album received both very positive and some negative reviews. And the negative always tend to hurt. But I wouldn't want anyone to apologize for a bad review of my album. 

I guess that an EP would be fine. Let’s wait and see what’s gonna happen

Hmmm. I really hoped that we would get some LP related news. Well, hopefully song will be good. 

wow, you guys are really reading into everything too much and making big deal out of such little things.. but I get it. when there are no LP related and relevant news, we gotta talk about something, right? 

I received mine replacements yesterday, lithograph looks still a bit weird, the colors are darker though, which makes it look slightly better. Laminate is slightly bigger than the original. Didn't manage to play the DVD's though. I'm keeping the misprinted too if anything doesn't work.
