Lupe's song streaming now.

That was a visual orgasm.

I would've liked to see more straight cut band footage personally, but this is just amazing.

There's only one guitar part in this song, I'm 99.9% sure that it'll just be Brad on guitar when/if they play it live. There are a TON of keyboards/synths buried in the mix, plus the bass part has some distortion on it, so that's where the "rhythm guitar" type of sound comes from.

 

FYI the thing at the very beginning and end of the song is synth, not guitar.

 

 

 

...There is not a SHRED of punk in this, or any other Linkin Park, song. And Linkin Park has been a band with pop characteristics since 2000. Get with the times much?

 

 

 

Papercut ending - 2 harmonized vocal parts that are both doubled, plus the rap part = 5 vocal parts

One Step Closer chorus - Chester singing part (doubled), Chester screaming/rapping part (doubled) = 4 vocal parts

With You chorus - Doubled Chester lead vocal part + background harmony + Mike = 4 vocal parts

 

I think you get the idea.

 

 

 

1. I don't give a fuck what country you're from, learn to speak English at least semi-coherently or don't bother posting your bullshit on an English-speaking website.

2. Mr. Hahn is ALL OVER this song. You're clearly one of those people who thinks that all Joe does is scratch. He will have a TON of stuff to do when they play this one live, there are all kinds of sampled parts, chopped-up guitar stuff in the breakdown, synth loops, etc.

3. MIKE SHINODA IS NOT JUST A RAPPER.

 

 

And finally...

 

"Is not LP" - Who the hell do you think you are, that YOU have the ability to determine what is and is not Linkin Park? Linkin Park music is whatever kind of music Linkin Park wants to make, not what people like you think they should make. If Linkin Park listened to people you, they would be about as popular as fucking Limp Bizkit right now.

I don't think flaming this guy will get anybody anywhere. I agree with you about everything else though.

It's been a while since I've posted...

I listened to it once, and it was stuck in my head. Some of my songs are starting to have that appeal, and I credit LP hugely as an influence. As for the song itself, I really like the lyrics, Chester's vocals, but especially Mike's vocal harmonies, imo they add a whole new dimension to the song. The NIN-style bridge was pretty cool too. I can't give it a spot right away in terms of how well it fares on my LP-song scale (after all, Numb, my favourite, was released 6 years ago ). It is nevertheless a quality song.

i love it, i can't express exactly how much i love it

it's subdued and energetic at the same time, which is really cool, i really like rob's part

Let's hope DBS's debut isn't the next Chinese Democracy {SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_wink.gif
