Another song is "Already Over", a rip off of "In The End", even the music video's effects are similar. I didn't know they were like that. I've noticed Sum 41 has copied a bit from Linkin Park as well, it's really funny to be honest because I can hear the ripping off and "inspiration" so clearly. By the way Astat, excellent job on the Holding Company tab, damn is that song hard to play throughout, or maybe my hands are a bit weak. Doing those finger picking positions for the whole song is hell on my wrists, it may be my new warm up, lol.

Is it me, or does "Hide" by RED sound WAAAY too similar to "From The Inside"? I look, and look for comparisions, and no one talks about it, I thought at least one person would.. Similar chord progression, similar if not exactly the same tempo, same 6/8 time signature, same tuning, etc. Even the bridge is such a rip-off in my opinion, but right after that it gets somewhat different. Has LP ever had any connections with this band? I found them a few years ago from listening to Pandora, I like quite a few songs, but their first album especially is nothing but a generic, obvious Linkin Park wannabe with more strings and a rougher sounding mix. Innocense and Instinct/Until We Have Faces are have some pretty awesome songs, though, new album is ass imo.

Pretty Birdy.

I don't understand how people are saying "Pretty Birdy" is just a crappy version, a garage cover, a letdown, a useless version of the original. When I read people dissing it, I was afraid to listen to it, but when I did I was pleasantly surprised. It is completely different. Maybe it's because I love Somewhere I Belong so much, but I prefer a few things in this demo from the original song. The clean guitar just sounds so much better, it's basically drowning in reverb and delay, it fills the stereo field realy nice, compared to ridiculously dry, basic clean part in the final cut slammed to the left channel.. which I can understand because it was accompanied by vocals, a piano riff and the reversed sample and a lot more percussion stood out. When the chorus kicks in, the chords (and maybe octaves?..ASTAT? I can't tell if they are f'd up chords with a bunch of major/minors tied into chords, or if they are octaves with inverted/power chords on separate guitar tracks, because the octaves in the bridge sound like they're supposed to be played on the same guitar as the chords) and drums are so raw, I love it. I also prefer the bridge in the demo, it's badass. The final cut sounds too fake, and "grided", they used the same octave track for every repeat and it just sounded stupid. I love loose heavy rock tracks like this. One thing I hate in the demo is the bass track, it sounds so dry. I wil definetly be doing a cover of SWIB with elements of this demo in it.

The first time I saw the name, I thought "Basket" or something. Lol, nice to know it actually has a good meaning behind the name.

It's a decent song, it just doesn't fit.

According to other people who bought it.. nope :/

for digital download?

can i buy anything without a paypal?

Extremely well said.

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

PM sent 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?

What about digital download?

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.

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.

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?

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. Thank you for clarifying it, I now see how my original comment was pretty confusing.
