Fleur de Lys

Maybe this set will have Let You Fade after release? And that’s why it’s so similar to the others at this point…

Yes, it's true. Alex palm mutes more than Brad did live on specific parts, maybe a little more than the studio versions too. I don't mind it for most songs, but on APFMH, it does sound kind of wrong. Tho I think he did ease off a little bit in recent performances, which is good, but it's still a little too much imo

Yes. He will probably play around with different stuff for that part from night to night

Did you guys notice that Mike played "One" by Metallica over the intro of Overflow? So cool! Love to see a little tribute

Hm? Can you point to specific parts? I would say the only difference between Brad and Alex on Papercut (and APFMH) is that he palm mutes more than Brad. Anyway, Alex is objectively a way tighter player than Brad was in his later years. Go watch the Birmingham 2017 show on YouTube, Brad is out of time large parts of the show. Seemed he cared less and less (he was a lot more in the pocket in the early years). If there's anything I'm having to get used to, it's Colin's more free approach to the drum parts. I think I appreciate Rob's playing more and more for LP, because he was so tight and true to the underlying programmed drums - giving LP more of that HipHop inspired feel to the rhythm section. Colin is more of a typical rock player imo

Some great screams on Given Up and Heavy Is The Crown at Tulsa (she did the full one)!

One thing I have been enjoying is actually Dave's playing. He is just doing more improvising, throwing in licks here and there. He didn't used to as much with the old band. You can tell that he is a real bass-player and not just a guitarist playing bass. It's not often you really get to hear that in LP (other than his solid technique), so it's really cool.

That's fair enough. I remember those mess-ups, some of them have been pretty loud and funny (infuriating for Mike, maybe). But if I was the musician, I just would not like if people were tracking my mistakes for years. I get that you've done it in the spirit of archiving as much data as possible, but it's just a little inconsistent considering how many small screw ups the rest of the band does. For instance, Colin missed a snare hit at the end of Faint yesterday too. Phoenix played extra notes on the first verse of Two Faced today. There'd be a lot to track. Also considering Joe might pretty much be personally responsible for setting LP 2.0 in motion 😅 We owe him alot, we should give the guy a break

Why is LPLive always tracking Joe's mistakes in show notes? It's always been puzzling to me considering that everyone in the band makes mistakes and most of them are not tracked. Alex played a wrong chord last week in Mexico. Phoenix hits wrong notes too. Emily forgets words. It seems awfully arbitrary and weirdly mean to be following Joe's mistakes so closely. Is it really show note material? A band makes mistakes...? Yea, they actually play live. I'm genuinely curious what the reason is here. Can someone explain?

I’m not ready for a full-on album review yet. All I’ll say is that I like how hard it goes. It suits LP, their songwriting works best with a bit of edge. It’s a real rock record, with a good mix of experimentation too. The only song I kinda dislike is Stained, which for me is reminiscent of 2010s pop like Katy Perry mixed with Imagine Dragons. Which are references that… let’s say, don’t do it for me. Good Things Go is a tad too melodramatic. But overall, a very solid album. Anyway, the rankings look fun!

I love the video - great drone shots. But I agree with some people here about the mix. Not a fan. The vocals are so on-top of the music, it's not really fair to Emily (or Mike). There is a perfect spot where distorted guitars blend and support an aggressive vocal, and this mix is not it. Plus, I agree that the audience should be mixed louder. Get the feel of the show. It doesn't matter if it's at the cost of some clearity in the music. Brazil are known for their audiences, and humans want to feel.

I thought the stream was amazing tbh. On my connection the audio was better than these YT rips and the image quality was great. The mix was not perfect, but it was powerful and the guitars were LOUD (For once, my pet-peeve with LP mixes in general is that the guitars are too low. Loud guitars support the vocals a ton if mixed right). A proper mix for the theatrical version will do it good, and it could be a legendary live-recording for them. Yeah, the audience feel could be more represented, but I'm sure it will be in the final version, it's just a question of mixing them in a bit more in both footage and audio. Check Joe Hahn's instagram stories, the audience was on fire, but if you're used to concert-live streams, you know that they might not really capture this from a dry soundboard mix Emily's performance was way better than the From Zero-livestream (which in general didn't do much good for the perception of her as a live singer). This show, with improved mixing, can do a lot to alter this perception and actually represent how much LP have been killing the live game (best shows since the early 00's imo).

I love it actually. I was getting a bit scared reading the comments, but to my surprise it resonated with me. First off, it does not have the melodic choices that sound very 2016-2018 that I feared for bc of John Green. Honestly, I hated a lot of the, at the time, trendy melodic choices on OML. The melody still sounds like something Mike Shinoda himself could have always written. I knew the third song was undeniably gonna be some sort of ballad, so this one is a nice change of pace, but it still connects well with the other singles as it progresses and the band comes in. Also, the production is distinct and kind of bold. The little repeating two note synth after every line is awesome and I like how they doubled down on the chopped up rhythm in the first chorus. It's very atmospheric and thankfully not very OML. Emily's performance is beautiful too. The only thing I don't like is the word skyscrapers... Just a little cringe and childish as a metaphor

It's up! Holy shit this crowd might have been the loudest

That’s great with the new song. Can’t wait to hear the studio version. But they replaced the wrong song. KTTK was clearly a show highlight… and Friendly Fire was right there
