I said what I did, because I read somewhere that Rick deleted anything of theirs that sounded like their 'nu-metal' stuff. If they were writing nu metal and it was from the heart, that still has more emotion in it than a forced change of sound simply to improve 'other skills'. If I have anything to cherish from MTM and ATS, it's Living Things. I love this new album and I know that they wouldn't have been able to really get there without those two albums.

Rick didn't tell them not to make nu-metal or songs that sounded like Linkin Park. The band did that on their own. Rubin just suggested that they try different things to see what sounded best before deciding on a final direction for a song (like trying rapping over Hands Held High for example).

He has the voice of an angel, descending from the heavenly clouds, with beams of sunshine and rainbows galore.

This. Completely and utterly this.

Looks like I'm the only one who likes the second half of the album more.

Don't worry. You're not alone there. Victimized, Roads Untraveled, Skin to Bone, and Until It Breaks are all tied for my favorite right now. The second half is amazing (then again, so is the first half).

Lost in the Echo 9/10

In My Remains 8/10

Burn It Down 9/10

Lies Greed Misery 7/10

I'll Be Gone 7/10

Castle of Glass 9.5/10

Victimized 10/10

Roads Untraveled 10/10

Skin to Bone 10/10

Until It Breaks 10/10

Tinfoil 8/10

Powerless 7/10

Average: 8.7/10

Tracks 6-10 is the best stretch on any LP album in my opinion.

It may just be the fresh music talking but this is the greatest album I've ever heard.

Just started listening. I've been waiting for the leak and here it is!

Could I get a re-up?

Castle of Glass is probably my favorite of these snippets. The way Chester sounds on it is so freaking great.

Ugh...I want this album NOW!!! Leak already darn you!

If they do a Greatest Hits album, it would be cool to have them rerecord them in their current live renditions or something like that. Make it something special for the fans who already have all of the albums.

I'd like to see Wretches or WTCFM replace Runaway. Other than that, the set is perfect the way it is.

I wonder what the "special intro" from the band will be. Just a generic "hey we have this concert for you, enjoy" or something else? Did Webster have the same?

The Minutes to Midnight one had a making-of thing before the concert.

None of my friends like Linkin Park so I'll be listening to it alone when it leaks.

I wonder if Mike will rap other verses over the WFTE intro once the new album drops. It could end up being the new Points of Authority in that respect.

Better not drop the good stuff... USA has to have APFMH and With You/Runaway.

Why would you want them to continue to torment crowds with Runaway? I would like the other two to stay though but wouldn't be terribly upset if they didn't.

start a one-man pit

lol

Damn, the theater up here isn't showing it. Oh well.

If your in St. Cloud, Eden Prairie is only like 2 hours away. It's showing at the AMC there at the mall.

Everyone complains about the guitar levels/mixing but my #1 DSP request would be to raise the crowd volume on the releases. One of the most unique aspects of a LP show is the entire crowd singing every word to almost every song, and the webcast/TV rip demonstrated that perfectly. I love it when the people are almost drowning Chester out on songs like "Numb".

 

Anyways, Rock in Rio (Lisbon) sounds good so far. Happy to have lots of new live shows to listen to this Summer!

I like to make "studio" versions of the live intros and outros. The low crowd in the DSP's really help sometimes. lol

I just listened to the remix and I honestly don't see what all the negativity is about. I think it's an awesome remix and does what a remix should - put the song in a different light. This is already better than a lot of ATS-era remixes.

Edit: I also updated the remix list in the General Linkin Park Discussion forum.

Thanks!

It's late so I'm probably gonna have to listen tomorrow, though.

The homeless?

$15-20 is diapers for my son. On top of that there's: food, rent, utilities, etc. It's kind of offensive to see you posting how that's not a lot of money and then saying people opposing your view are wrong. Even a couple dollars in somebody's pocket can make a big difference depending on their financial status so just stop it.

I saw Webster Hall in theaters back in 2007 and that was amazing, I want to do that again if they air it near me.

Same. I really wish they would've released the MTM making of from that theatre show. There were some cool things in it that weren't on the MTM DVD.

Does anybody have full show audio yet?

Lies, Greed, Misery is freaking awesome! I am really, really excited for this album.

The medley sounded a little awkward going into Iridescent. It also would be cool if Mike or Chester would sing the end of LOATR at the end of Iridescent.

Until it Breaks is gonna be awesome!

Also: my favorite LP song gets even better with that new outro.
