How long does it take to get the code? I'm waiting for an email, all I got was GroundCtrl with Joe thanking us, then my receipt from the LPU.. never got a code.

can i buy anything without a paypal?

I think the overall package for 12 is still the best one they've ever released. In the past, they had really shitty items like the shoelaces, lol. The earbud things were eh. I guess it's hard to figure out the cool items to include every year.

 

"LPU XIII Jersey (Available in Men’s and Women’s sizes)

LPU PlugAir (Unlock exclusive content via iPhone and Android)

LPU / HARD ROCK Poster (created by LPU member Andhika Nugraha)"

 

I like the poster and it's cool they're putting in something designed by an LPU member. According to this site, Dika Toolkit created the poster! The shirt is alright....looks like it was designed by Joe haha. The PlugAir is what doesn't make sense to me.

 

"With the LPU PlugAir, members get direct access to the band by unlocking select content on their iPhone or Android devices. Content includes music, apps, exclusive videos, merchandise, and more."

 

So you save content to your phone. Your phone's speakers pretty much blow and I don't think anyone wants exclusive stuff on their phones when you can get it on your computer. The LPU website could be used, where they could post stuff for download or link to it, but maybe I'm in the minority on that. /2cents

I've seen some of the shipping prices, oh my gosh... F that, I'll be content with a Digital Download. People who only bought the download, are youg uys doing okay? No bugs? What happened to Geki is bullshit, obviously they didn't think this out very well.

A SOMEWHERE I BELONG DEMO!!??? OMG MY DREAM CAME TRUE

ATM Your best option is to wait til the new year launches. If you want the lpu12 cd i think it should be available in the new year as well. We don't know yet if there will be any $25 option in new year either but still, you should wait. if you want a trial membership pm me an ill send you a promo code for one month (or just use your promo code from the lpu flyer which was inserted in the recharged cd)

In my LT case I found an expired LPU membership, it's from when LPU11 was still live. It says "All LPU members have exclusive access to purchase a CD or DIGITAL DOWNLOAD of the LPU11 album and other rare Linkin Park music tracks" So, maybe I can get a download also?

you can buy the LPU CDs with a trial membership (if they are in stock), FYI.

Question. I've never bought a membership before.. In the website, it tells me I need a promo code to access stuff. If I buy the cheapest pass they have ($25?) Will that give me the code I need? And I'll be able to buy the CD's, right? Sorry, I'm a noob but I am or sure buying this.

I want another pre-Hybrid Theory demo. So Far Away, Slip, and Blue were all amazing.

He said that some of the LPU tracks each year are clearly mp3 sourced, because they didn't have them in higher quality o whatever.

But that's no excuse for them to offer the mp3 download not in the highest possible (mp3) quality.

 

The mp3 download should come free with the purchase the package and/or the CD. I hope they changed that. You are kind of forced into buying it twice, if you want to listen to it instantly, which is complete bullshit.

I agree, that would be a smart thing to do. The file size difference between 192 and 320 is not much at all, but the sound quality is ridiculously noticable, 320 sounds good enough to me.. SO yeah, I don't see why they wouldn't give it to us. So, if I did buy it twice (if no one gave me a link), would they be $1 each? I remember seeing the LPU12 CD was $1 extra onto your membership or something?, if I buy both the digital and physical, would it just be $2 extra onto the memebership? I plan on getting the cheapest package because I couldn't use the benefits of the $60 or whatever it is to its full potential and worth.

I don't want to hear "shame on you" or "how dare you, you can't ask that on here", because I don't want to be that guy.. but.. I'm torn between a decision. Should I buy the digital download of LPU 13, or is the quality bad? It would be worse because my pair of headphones just went out on me and all I'm left with is my huge ass monitors hooked up to my receiver and then my AKG k240's, so I'd be able to hear crappy compression. I've heard it's only 192kbps, which is garbage IMO.. OR, should I buy a physical copy, and maybe someone who does buy the digital version could hook me up on MEGA so I could have it to tie me over until the physical copy is shipped to my house? (pleaseeeeee) And is the CD in lossless or is it also in MP3? I'm still going to buy a copy no matter what, and I'm buying a membership no matter what.. I just don't know what to do. Thank you to anyone in advance.

I'm so ready.

I... CAN'T... FAKIN'... WAIT.

The drums completely turn me off from Primo. I literally couldn't enjoy it past the first chorus. That being said, I like the lyrics and vocal melody, and obviously it turned out great as IBG.

I agree with you so much on this. They literally just don't fit, especially when the guitars are playing, the kick drum hits on the wrong areas for them to pop out, so it's awkward sounding. I think a slower, more "raw" drum track would of been better, but it would of killed the ATS vibe it had. Ah well. As you said, the lyrics and melody are amazing. I actually prefer this chorus structure because it's more original and not a What I've Done/BITS/New Divide/ALTNC cover up in terms of chord progression. The bass on the early parts of the song gave me chills, also.

After listening to it some more I really don't like the drums, they don't seem to fit IMO.

Some of you are a bit too rough on here.. Not everyone knows how everything works and being rough on people draw more people away from the community because they don't want to get their asses reamed out for saying something wrong.

I listened to the released song, and I do love how it builds up, towards the end things get strange but it's a hell of a song. It doesn't sound rushed in terms of mixing or anything so I'm sure they really did love this version as Mike said. And it looks like "Has It Leaked?" Was right about the release date, now that's interesting. I can't wait for this CD.

Is that the official album artwork? Or is that simply a filler?

How much this site is accurate with the release dates?

I'm not 100% sure on how accurate it is on release timing, but if you want to know if something had leaked, you need to bookmark that website. The site had Recharged labeled leaked the very second it leaked, and had legitimate links for you to get the music. I wouldn't exactly trust this site with the timing since it states "Will be released in the middle week of November, like all Underground albums." not all LPU albums have been released in November if I recall correctly, only since LPU 9, but who knows. It seems like Friday would be a more reasonable release date.. but I'm happy it's right around the corner regardless.

He ment http://hasitleaked.com/2013/linkin-park-underground-13/

Has It Leaked? claims the album comes out in 5 days.

1 and 2 = basically, Download is "it". jesus, that's tough on US fans :/

 

must be pretty bad to be the guy who did an IMR remix and reading that thread. sassy Mike..

They were being somewhat arrogant and rough to some people who had asked questions, but I guess I can understand where it came from since a good portion of the questions were ridiculously stupid. Like one girl asked "I want to be famous where do I start??", they commented "Therapy.", and someone asked "When does the new CD come out?" they said "When it's done"

They are having a Facebook Q&A.

Some questions I have seen answered that matter..

"Will the new album be death metal?" = "No."

'What will the new album be about?" = "We are still working out a concept."

"How come you guys went with this new style instead of reverting back to an album like Meteora or Hybrid Theory??" = "Constant exploration, experimentation, evolution. It's not a straight line (in other words, we're not traveling away from the first album); for example ATS->LT"

"Do you think that Linkin Park will ever revisit the days of Hybrid Theory or Meteora?" = " Donington Park between June 13 and 15."

"Will you be playing "Hybrid Theory" in it's entirety for other UK arena shows?" = "I would say it's unlikely we'll play the whole thing."

"Will Fort Minor ever return?" = "I have no plans at this time, but I'm open to it."

"Of what kind will be your next album? More similar to Living Things or another type?" = "Different, or course."

"Why you don´t remixed IN MY REMAINS ?" = "GREAT QUESTION. We actually didn't get a great remix of the song. We liked all these remixes a lot more...maybe that means we got it right on the original of IN MY REMAINS? HA"

I'll post more if I see any other ones that catch my eye.

I like LIVING THINGS and Recharged a lot. I like LIVING THINGS way more than I liked A Thousand Suns. I think all the songs on the album were really great and I still listen to the album a lot. Recharged is good for what it is; a fucking remix album. If you are going to judge LP or base what you think the direction of the next album is off of Recharged, it makes you look stupid, because it's a REMIX ALBUM. I swear some people can't understand that. I do agree that LP should take some time and not release the album soon, but it's not because I think LIVING THINGS sucked. I think this next album may suck if it's rushed and a world tour seems a bit odd that it would be this early. Maybe I'm just bitter that I won't be able to attend the usual amount of shows that I do, or be in the front, whatever. I just think this is all way too early.

I agree with you about the whole rushing thing, I'd rather suck it up and wait it out a bit longer.

Here is my submission, feedback? I'm pretty happy with it to be honest, everyone else seemed to have taken the EDM/Dubstep route, not me.

A Light That Never Comes (Darkened by Switchface vs Dreamulacrum)

 

Here's my contest submission. I've combined the styles of my two projects to make a unique remix. Kinda abstract, but I tried to make it as cohesive as possible. Hope you guys enjoy it. Comments and feedback, as always, are more than welcome.

Nice! I see you've got some votes.

Can't wait to hear your remix. A MTM sounding ALTNC would be awesome, IMO.

Well, I had just finished sitting here for the night making up my remix, and recording guitar parts, for 9 HOURS, and I have no idea how I came up with what I did, but it is NOT heavy, or MTM sounding, so I apologize for getting your "hopes up", Geki.. lol. I tried pitch shifting some of the vocals so I could change up the progression so I wouldn't have "What I've Done", but it was a nightmare. So I tried other stuff, and I think playing the vocoder and piano together got to me (I absolutely love the effect in the song, it was a perfect addition), it is ridiculously different from the original, and alot.. simpler? I can't even put it under a genre.. Lmao. There is no EDM or dubstep whatsoever, it's raw. And this is only a rough cut, I still have a long time to tweak things, or just throw the whole thing away. The song just has nothing going for it to be a heavy/rock song IMO. I look forward to having you guys hearing it when the time comes.
