Projektion

Back from Download, amazing weekend, was right under Mike during ITE. Especially happy I got to experience Forgotten and By Myself live, 2 songs I never thought I'd get to see live.

Really needs a solo after that screaming part. Can definitely hear Darons involvement in the song

^ I'd probably say Mike's solo would get included as well if they play the Numb/Encore intro to Numb, Since the solo kind of leads into it.

But...wouldn't this kind of defeat the purpose of the name?

Maybe they'll surprise us and do Meteora in full too... ... a man can dream.

Play the album backwards like Metallica did and end on OSC and Papercut

This quote from that article really summed up why I just went off of LP around ATS. “That’s it, I’ve had it, fuck this band, they’re not making music for me anymore because all I want to hear is heavy guitars and there isn’t a guitar to be found on this record. They’re singing about the world’s ills and there’s a bunch of electronic bleeps and blips, fuck these guys.”

Used to be, they've dropped down a few places now after I was dissapointed in Living Things and (to some extent) A Thousand Suns. Rammstein are currently my favourite band.

^ If this is a good representation of the upcoming album, I want to see how many older fans come back that left during MTM/ATS.

Papercut One Step Closer Crawling In The End A Place For My Head (Over Bleed It Out) Lying From You Faint Breaking the Habit Numb Given Up Bleed It Out What I've Done No More Sorrow New Divide The Requiem The Radiance (Over Numb Outro) Burning In The Skies (Over Bleed It Out) Empty Spaces When They Come For Me Jornada Del Muerto Waiting For The End Wisdom, Justice and Love Iridescent The Catalyst I'm surprised how many I've seen considering I've only been to 1 show.

The problem I have with it mostly is that it seems the raw aspect seems to be overly treble-y and it drowns out the bass. It why I didn't realise Rob was using a double pedal till Astat pointed it out, the raw feel to the guitars and everything drowns out the bass drum too much.

The more I listen the less I like the very raw mixing style of this. I'm also not a ran of Rakim's verse.

I'm pretty happy this tour is not over here, as much as I liked LP in the past, 30STM are just boring live.

I was thinking that, but I sort of blocked it out since I know Rob is pretty quick with a single pedal. After a few listens, I only now hear the gallops in the ending. I'm hoping the double bass is a sign for a heavier LP, but I'll reserve me judgement at the moment till I hear more off the album.

Well, it's piqued my interest in LP again for one.

Sky Arts, Scuzz and (I believe) Kerrang have highlight shows about a month or 2 after the festival where they show various songs from the bands on the upper 2 stages. since LP are one of the headliners, you can probably expect around 3 songs. I'm going to be there, can't believe I'm actually going to get to see By Myself and Forgotten live.

^ Sure, in hindsight, you can call What I've Done softer, but at the time when it came out, no one was expecting a slower album from LP, so everyone kind of put WID on the same level as Numb and Pushing Me Away, as the softer/more poppy song of the album.

Hopefully the heavy-ness from the heavier songs of MTM and the..... actually, nothing from ATS, please.

Been going to Download now for the past 3 years, so will be going again this year. I'm looking forward to most of the bands announced so far and I love the atmosphere in the camps/arena during the festival. Hybrid Theory is just a bonus for me at the moment.

I swear to god, if this is just going to be another bait and switch like MTM...

Andy Copping (Downlaod Festival promoter) said on his twwitter a while back they aren't streaming the festival anymore just becasue it was too expensive and such a hassle to set up. Pretty much any festival that has a livestream have a massive company backing them, or something.

Fallout Boy were just announced as the sub to LP.

Really happy about this. Already got my tickets booked.

Eh, I find the song bland as hell, and, for the most part, it sounds like it is constantly building up to something like a "boom"/rocking out final chorus, but it just doesn't seem to happen.
