Apparently all DLC and controllers from previous games will transfer over. More multitracks? Hopefully LP is included in the game or as DLC since they had released a new album. It seems they are pretty popular of being chosen for new DLC for games.

The one time I have a chance to see them live, they cancel. Fuck. I hope he heals.

^^^ I would pay to see you play it the way you play their songs (the right way) and see how pissed off you get that they aren't tabbed correctly.

Froctagon sounds like it came from System of a Down's debut album. I hear Serj in my head on that one.

LOL. Dude, have you seen some of LP's working titles? Strange choices of words throughout.

My immediate thought. Glad I'm not the only one. But, you know "omg we already have Drawing why tf wood they give us another demo of the same song". The track list looks eerily realistic and not too far fetched to me as well.

Guitar tone sounds LP-ish so I'd say yes, but they could just be instrumentals provided by the interviewers or something and have nothing to do with LP, but I find that hard to believe.

There's a whole .wav version taking 31.2MB.

It's some kind of effect that mimics the sound of singing into a fan. Like a super fast delay or tremolo effect mixed down... or something.

My Dad has an Axe FX Ultra (previous version to the II) and my GOD does that thing do so much. It's cool to see the stuff they use now compared to the something like the MTM cycle.

I remember in 2001.. I was six and I was obsessed with "In The End" and "Crawling" on MTV and stuff like that, and in 2007 I got into them more when "What I've Done" got plastered all over YouTube and the radio, and then in 2010 I REALLY got into them and bought A Thousand Suns on release day, and I've been an LP fanatic ever since then. SO, I guess I became a "real fan" in 2010, but have loved their music ever since I could remember.

I'm fortunate enough to have a 32GB iPod Touch and I literally have nothing but 16-bit 44.1kHz rips from all of my CD's and original music. I'm a sound whore, and I listen to music through IEM's, monitors, and Apple's new earpods (which are surprisingly decent) I have only a handful of .mp3's. I'm at about 20GB used for 633 songs. You should atleast upgrade to 320kbps .mp3, I assure you don't need all of that music. I have what I have simply because I can without sacrificing anything.

Interesting; although about half of the people in this trailer make their music or have their music made super compressed and clipped to begin with, and sacrifice ambience for loudness. It's a different type of "compression", but still I found that funny. I will be watching this, though.

I hope to see Somewhere I Belong.

My exact thought once I saw this on my Facebook.

My first impressions.. Keys To The Kingdom - Awesome. It immediately hits you that the album has balls. The first verse is amazing. Second verse is growing on me, Mike just sounds a bit slurrish to me. Chorus vocals are sloppy, but powerful. The breakdown is nice, and then the song does a 180 and becomes something completely different with a very nice progression. This is a great album opener. I feel like they should of had an opening track for this, but it's good how it is. The ending is awesome as well. All For Nothing - This song is fucking awesome. Mike sounds great with the Fort Minor-esque back drop in the verses. The chorus is fantastic. Paige sounds a bit like Mike, so I think Mike can maybe pull this off live is he changes up the notes being hit a little, I don't see Mike hitting those higher notes. I like the solo. Guilty All The Same - This song sounds so much better in the context of the album now after hearing the rest of it. It's a good song. The Summoning - Builds up very well. Cool electronic elements and glitch effects. War - A bit TOO punk rock-ish for me, but not a bad song at all. It's like a really old Green Day to me, but grittier. It reminds me of a faster and more serious version of "No Laundry" from LPU8 strangely enough. This should be a fun live song for them. Wastelands - I do not exactly like this song a lot. It's just a filler song to me. The chorus is cool, but the bridge is just stupid to me. I do appreciate the raw, muddy production quality (lol wut?) because it does give the song character. Until It's Gone - This song literally doesn't fit this album at all, BUT I think it's a great song, I do like it. It's like the Breaking The Habit of The Hunting Party. The solo is so simple, but pretty powerful. I don't like the lyrics a whole lot, though. The instrumentation is awesome, though. Rebellion - A pretty cool, heavy, radio friendly rock song. Daron's guitar is instantly recognizable to me. (I am a huge SoAD fan) I can't imagine Serj singing on this at all, so I guess it's a pretty unique song. I don't see how this song sounds like it could be from Toxicity, at all. I'm definitely feeling a Mezmerize/Hypnotize sound if anything. I never thought I'd see the day that SoAD and LP crossed paths. Mark The Graves - I cannot get myself to LOVE this song. I like the instrumental and the verses, though. The guitars are cool, and some of the riffs sound like those from Sign of The Times from Three Days Grace in places. The vocals in the chorus are just weird to me. I don't know. I'll give this one more time. Drawbar - My GOD this has instantly went into my top 5 favorite instrumentals from these guys. This is so beautiful. And just hearing Tom do his crazy shit with his guitar with the relaxing piano and jazzy drums just gives me chills. It sounds like something from a movie soundtrack or a movie trailer. Incredible. Final Masquerade - A nice ballady song with some of the nicest guitars I have ever heard in an LP song. When those rhythm guitars hit after the first chorus I was amazed. They sound so clear, like I'm sitting next to the cabinet and mic.. They aren't even layered to hell, either. Their engineer is a boss. A Line In The Sand - This is a fantastic, atmospheric, aggressive, melodic song. The intro with Mike's vocals is great. Once the drums kick in, it turns into Guilty All The Same on steriods with a bit of Victimized. How do people only pick out the similarity to Victimized? Apart from Mike's parts, and the instrument break after the "false ending", this song has similar vocals to GATS, the same key, the same chord progression, almost the same IF NOT the same BPM, etc. I'm not complaining, I prefer this over GATS. This song has pretty great replay value to me. I am happy with the album. I'm glad they tried this heavier, raw sound.

Listen to how the song ends, it fades into another song. Wouldn't you think they'd have a different ending that cut off a bit nicer than that if it was from the single disc? I think you may be correct.

Love the aggressive guitars and drums with the really relaxing vocals and lead guitar. Easily my favorite as of now.

The song is so raw and I freaking love it. As soon as the guitars hit, I looked at my friend and said "holy shit" while laughing my ass off in excitement. And then Mike started singing and I personally thought the verses were weak. He sounds great after the bridge, though.. Like he isn't holding back at all. Once the pre-chorus hit, I felt the same feeling I had when I heard the breakdown in "When They Come For Me". The chord progression is fucking fantastic and simple, yet the intro and verses are still balls to the wall. Chester sounds great in the choruses, and in the bridge he sounds so unedited/not pitch corrected and I think that's awesome, it works in his favor and sounds great with the raw instruments playing behind him. I hope the distortion and over compressing of the intro was the YouTube compression and not how it will sound, because it's Death Magnetic bad. LP sounds fantastic raw. It will be interesting to see Brad playing guitar like Daron live. I NEED to see that.

There is no key.

Not downloading from that shitty host. My first impression was it sounded pretty similar to previous songs, most obvious being Chester's vocal melody and how it is very close to his melody on Guilty All The Same. The bridge is just terrible in my opinion. It feels so empty. The little breakdown with Chester singing softer is a little nice, but also very expected. I'm not feeling as hyped as I was for this album, but that's how I was when I heard Burn It Down and Lies Greed Misery, I thought Living Things was going to be full of garbage, but I ended up finding a few of my favorite LP songs from that album when it was released and I was very pleased with it for awhile. I hope that is happening this time again. Mike's lyrics in his rap are pretty good, chorus guitar is cool, the synth stuff behind Mike's raps are cool, and that's about it for me.

A Thousand Suns, I thought it was a really creative album, with the best lyrics and a cool theme.

As far as I know, they've only originally used a 7 string Ibanez for Runaway and With You up until around the Meteora touring cycle. They've only used and recorded with a 7 string guitar for Hybrid Theory. There could be song ideas they've scrapped that actually needed all 7 strings, but we won't know. They now just use baritone/modified 6 string guitars for the 7 string tuning stuff.

I think the last track will be a melodic ballad Every LP album has a soft ending.

I feel like lyrics get better when there is a concept for the entire album. A Thousand Suns had a nuclear war/destruction concept and many of the lyrics in the songs were pretty good. Mike has said in previous interviews that there are a few concepts in The Hunting Party, so maybe that's a good sign with my logic.
