  1. My first response was a confused one. Didn't know what I had to think about it. But at a couple of listens, it takes its place in a better way. Because of the guitar riffs, to me it didn't sound at those moments as a Linkin Park album until the vocals came in. Maybe that is the reason I'm not liking Rebellion. War is also a song that doesn't hit me right, while I do am someone who appreciates both the hard and the experimental Linkin Park. I just need to listen it a couple of times more. I the I am not going to compare the album because each of the album is its own.

  2. What, you believe GATS is mixed the way it is because they didn't have enough time and just gave us an early unmixed version?

     

    I hope the album's mix is raw as fuck.

    Not necessary because of a lack of time. It isn't uncommon that songs are mixed differently on the album and on the single. Nine in the Afternoon by Panic at the Disco comes to mind. The single version was more polished than the album cut.

  3. On the Zimbio link, images 20 and 21:

     

    "(L-R) Joe Hahn, Brad Delson, Mike Shinoda, and Chester Bennington of Linkin Park"

     

    All these years later, they still confuse the two?

     

    I can't picture Brad behind a drum kit or Rob with a guitar. :P

  4. Nickelback, Daughtry are some I can come up with now. But it also happens in other genres. The really urban singles for urban and rhythmic radio and more poppy ones for pop. Beyoncé's XO was poppy and sent to pop while Drunk in Love was for the urban ones. But it is a smart way to reach multiple audiences.

    What bands do this?

  5. I hear at least three guitar parts and that makes me wonder how they will pull it off. It is the extra guitar that gives the punch to the song. I personally miss that in other songs live, a third guitarist (for example on Castle of Glass). I think that Mike will play the keys during the verses.

  6. Glad to see Brad is still a member of LP.

    Smh. Just like everyone said that Mike was still a member when A Thousand Suns came out. Brad was more working on the production. I really dislike the comments that when someone works in the back, he isn't a member or something like that.

     

    I hear slight reverb. More reverb wouldn't of done much on these vocals other than accentuate the cracking and strain, and would've only made the mix less solid and sloppy.

     

    I'm assuming he meant layers as in backing vocals, which I agree on. There is a huge absence of them on this song. Notice how much better he sounds with backing vocals on the parts that have them. And I also guarantee these vocals are NOT unedited, there is basic correction throughout. It is simply more raw than we are used to, and I kind of like it.

    I remember that Chester said that What I've Done was organic because of the lack of the layering of his vocals.

  8. ^You want to kill Chester, don't you? ^

     

    IF they want to keep Numb and In the End, why don't spice things up by revamping the songs. I think it would excite both the band as we, the people.
