yes, waiting for the end is the next single.

listened to it 4 times when it just leaked, then stopped, slept and now two times again. Now I love it even more!!! Awesome work guys! My favourites: 1. Waiting for the end (this will me a megahit, a la numb - that means I will probably get sick of it afterwards ) 2. The Catalyst, 3. When they come for me, 4. The Messenger, 6. Blackout, 5. Iridescent, 7. The Requiem, Least fav: Burning in the skies (not bad just sounds like WID and ND), Robot boy (misses some edge, maybe those synths we hear towards the end should have been more prominent), Wretches and kings(again love the beat, choruses and heyheyheys kill it for me) Even on first listen this is much better than M2M(which I was very disappointed with at the start). We gotta realise this was not made for the existing LP fans and many will not love it(those who love louder music with guitars). However, fans who were growing up with LP and learnt that you have to be open minded and taste and love other genres, as they bring something valuable in too, will adore this record. This a great mix of contemporary sounds, just like HT was in its time!!! Think about it... many of the sounds on the ATS you can hear in songs today by various artists from different genres. But Linkin Park has managed to blend them in a right way, again.

my first impressions(there will surely change): Burning in the skies 8/10 - lp like(m2m edition) When they come for me 9/10 - love the ending!!! Robot boy 7/10 - so and so Waiting for the end 10/10 - great song Blackout 10/10 - total mess it is awesome now, but it so messy I am not sure will I like it later Wretches and kings 8/10 - love the beat, not the heyheyheys or choruses that much Iridescent 9/10 - mike and chester singing nicely together... very U2 like The Catalyst 10/10- ... The Messenger 10/10 - Chester makes you "cry" here... extraordinary performance It's definitely a journey! An awesomely enjoyable one What I can say is that my emotional response after hearing it for the first time is a lot better then when I had just heard M2M. However, first impression after HT was more intense(but then I was just a 12yrs old kid)

it looks like they are on drugs

I don't like it... that is definite now. I like the heavy beat(I hope the most of the album is this heavy) and verses. However, choruses and those "hey hey hey" parts just kill it for me! And mike's "front to the back" is a deja vu and somehow out of place too. But that's just me! I can't wait for the ATS and I will jump to this in concerts but I don't love it.

here you can listen to the song legaly: http://www.noisecreep.com/2010/09/02/linki...NoiseCreep.com)

not sure I like it... chorus is very bad in my opinion. mike's part gets me up and pumped and then chesters spoils it for me. 5 listens and I still like catalyst better.

Great! I bet you are proud of that... I refer you to this paragraph of my "big" post: "Some of you claim this will bring back exclusiveness and feeling special as a fan back. NO IT WON'T. Adam said there will be no more exclusive content! So don't count on that. You will feel more special and be a bigger fan cause you've paid 60 instead of 30? You can just feel SNOBBY, and some would consider that STUPID. You won't be special, because from now on most of the members will be one-timers who come to get pre-sales and M&Gs. " And you should note that my post is mostly about international members. You are from USA, so there is no point in discussing it with you.

Year right... I'm gonna give 20$ more for shirt and CD + 10$ shipping(at least). Almost 100$!!! I'd rather get another concert ticket, cause that's what bands are about!

OK here is the copy of my post from the other thread, cause disscusion has moved and I didn't notice that: First, I am a member from the start and I haven't skipped a year. I live in country where chances of LP having a gig are close to 0 and I am a LPUer essentially for the package. Because there is no shirt&CD any more I don't think I will continue my membership, even though it would not make a visible dent on my "budget". And I don't think anyone who is not from USA, UK and Germany should. Why would you? What you should do is wait and if LP announces a concert in your country or you decide to travel to a concert ONLY THEN buy a membership. That is because they cannot offer anything worth 60$ unless it is some kind of personal experience(M&G, concert experience...). Content is not exclusive and chats are not worth 60$. Nothing they can offer online for international members can be worth 60$. End of discussion for me here. Some of you claim this will bring back exclusiveness and feeling special as a fan back. NO IT WON'T. Adam said there will be no more exclusive content! So don't count on that. You will feel more special and be a bigger fan cause you've paid 60 instead of 30? You can just feel snobby, and some would consider that stupid. You won't be special, because from now on most of the members will be one-timers who come to get pre-sales and M&Gs. Do I think special concert experience and M&G could be worth 60$? Yes, but I will buy LPU membership only when I decide to go to a concert and if I hear from others that it is very good. Also, I've been to two M&G(with 6 and 2 band-members) and those didn't live up to expectations. So, only when I am going to a concert and only if these special concert experiences prove great will I buy a membership. There will be an exodus of international members and this encourages signing up just when pre-sales are available or M&Gs are at hand. WHAT THEY SHOULD HAVE DONE IS JUST SELL THOSE SPECIAL EXPERIENCES AND M&G LIKE TICKETS FOR EVERY CONCERT, BECAUSE IT IS ALMOST THE SAME THING LIKE SELLING THESE LPU MEMBERSHIPS. This will be the last nail in the coffin of the LPU community. Btw, PTB is not a very good song IMO... generic and dull. some of you think it is better than catalyst?! wow, that's hard to believe...

looks like the video is gonna be awesome!

this left me speechless for a minute or so... then I replayed it 5 times!!!! F****** AMAZINGGGGGG!!!! I am so excited right now! leak already

they are not doing bad on iTunes. album is in top 5 and it hasn't come out yet! It was even in top3 for a day. Linkin Park usually better sells albums than singles. + LP has been doing some selling on their own website too. I don't really care if they sell more or less than m2m or meteora... I don't care about numbers. Just want the guys to feel they've acomplished sth and want to keep touring and making music as Hawk said.

ok, after many many replays I have the same opinion about the song I had from the start. I love it!!!! It's one of those songs that you just have to listen with volume on the top of the scale. And it will pull you in!!! I said that lyrics seem a bit repetitive in my previous post. However, just try to sing along! It's a great sing along song and I cannot wait to hear it live!

How can you try hard to love sth? I don't understand that concept. You like sth or you don't! You could lie that you love/like sth and vice versa, but what would I get out of lying to lpl members about my affections about one song? Nothing.... Another thing that is possible that I am not objective and I totally agree if that is what you wanted to say. As I am a fan for more than 10 yrs, I would probably admire anything these guy make together(didn't like DBS that much)... enjoy and relax....

ok.. been listening to if for couple of hrs non-stop. I LOVE IT! there is so much going on in the song, I advise you to stop everything you are doing and close your eyes and listen to it that way. There are clearly parts that are missing and some cuts can be felt(I wonder if they did some more radical changes in this mix too: like changing places of the parts and maybe even adding some stuff). Lyrics got a bit boring, or it's better to say there is nothing new there(even sths missing) and this is a price we pay for having stubs and snippets for so long but, I guess for first listener they would be great too. Song is awesome but I expected sth like this, so I don't feel like jumping around about it.

congrats man! I can see this played in some club maybe that is why you were chosen, definitely different from what LP would make. someone said house-y sound and I agree... i am not an expert, just listener, but to me it sounds like sth robbie rivera would make

hey guys! I've read all the posts and now here is my opinion(a bit late, but I was on a vacation) As I am die-hard LP fan I guess I would learn to love anything they make. However, that won't be needed with this song and, if the song is any clue, this album too. I love all the snippets!!! I haven't been so excited about a new LP album since the time I was franticly going from store to store trying to find and buy Hybrid Theory CD in the year 2000. I see some are saying this is dance music(term that I frown upon)!??? techno!??? you are wrong and you probably don't know those genres well. I don't have favourite genres, but if someone would analyse my musical taste they would probably say after rock, my favourite genres would be: electronica, DnB, progressive and minimal house, ... And The Catalyst definitely had some el. music influences (but we all knew that is direction LP is taking for some time now: mike's remixes, chester's side project, new divide), and I love it. Specially now, because I am currently getting up and going to sleep listening to Pendulum(also I've seen them live a couple of weeks ago and had one of the best times of my life). They did a great thing mixing in some rock with their drumNbass. I am sure LP's gone mix electronica and rock even better. pendulum - island pt. 1&2: cant wait for ATS!!!!!!!!

i'd love some of that!!!! maybe even mike's ggg remix could be another example... mixature of lp and pendulum? niceeee

good job lpl and good luck with the new site!

i've just seen that too... adam, you're sneaky :lol: :lol:

that's one fugly jacket... could they really be shooting a video for an upcoming single already?
