Numbrocker

I hope so!!!! I LOVE Waiting for the End!!!! It's SO CLOSE!!!!

A bit off topic but I just heard a bit of the Catalyst during the TB/BOS game (baseball) on ESPN. However the music was backing stats about CC Sabathia. GO YANKEES!! lol couldn't help myself. On topic, I agree with everyone saying that Requiem and Radiance need to be merged as one track. In face a few of these should really just be intros.

I lol'ed so hard when I read that! (though Meteora will always be my baby) However I think we're all getting too "protective" of LP. Shocking as it is people will NOT like this album. A good portion of fans fell in love with the HT/Meteora sound. THAT's the kind of music they like. I think, just like with MTM, LP will lose fans with this, but gain much more. Still I don't think you can really critize the people who are disappointed, that much. The band has said that they gave out mixed reviews of what they thought this album would sound like. I even think Chester mentioned it at the LA laser show last night. So yes saying it sucks isn't really a good reason, but explaining yourself for why you don't care for the album shouldn't get you flamed. Personally, I've only heard up to Blackout, but I like it so far. Wouldn't go as far as Astat, but it's been a "good" album. Waiting For the End is the only song that's really blown me away, but I need to get the album and relisten a few times before I can give a proper review. I also find it funny When They Come For You is either a LOVE or HATE song. When I first heard it I couldn't get past Monkey Mike, but Chester saved that song for me. I wish they hadn't screwed with his voice so much. Chester is from the rare breed that has a true singing voice that doesn't need to be "fixed" with computers. And I'll go with the majority of nay-sayers who want more tradional guitar because I prefer rock music compared to electronic. I'm not saying that the songs "suck" without it, but I don't like the heavy electronic influence (especially on Blackout) personally. Still I think LP did a really good job with this album (what I've heard anyways).

LP at the laser show! http://twitpic.com/2mbpzv So very cool. I wish they would've taped this!! I bet it looked epic!

With all the leak crazyness I forgot about the Laser show today. http://twitpic.com/2mbevy That must be epic to have a laser show with this album!

Dunno if you got the link yet. I don't remember which part it was in. But the whole thing is pretty good to watch. (Though I think it was part 2) I have no idea how they'll do it, but I have faith they'll figure out most of the songs.

I'm LOVING Waiting for the End!!!! My favorite song so far. (haven't heard the whole album yet)

lol I already packed. Wanna get away from college asap! Be in NY in 4 days! Concert in 7 days!!

So Warner ruined things for me (take that as you will). But I heard up to Blackout. I was super impressed with the album so far. The clips were choosen by a moron. There were better parts to choose. Whatever. The only two songs that kinda made me pause were Burning in the Skies and When They Come For Me. BITS (lol didn't notice till I typed it) was too close to In Between for Mike's vocals to me. I need to relisten to it whenever I get my ditigal copy. (speaking of which do you guys know when we get it?) WTCFM was different. Mike's lyrics had me loling too much to really get the song. (mental image of Monkey Mike) and I need to relisten later, but Chester, wow. In fact Chester REALLY impressed me on this album (what I've heard). He sounds vocally better then ever! My favorite song by far was Waiting For the End. AMAZING!!! Chester...wow just wow. Blackout really surprised me. I didn't expect the ending at all. I wish they would have just kept Chester's hard vocals without the electronic sound. It was too...happy to go with Blackout. Despite that I really liked it! Though from what I heard I have NO IDEA how they're doing this live. Poor Brad will just be chilling during the ATS songs. lol. Joe however will be super busy. I can't wait to see what songs they do at NYC! (7 days baby!!!) Also great review by Lauscho.

LMAO! I totally thought the same thing! haha

The only thing that really worrying me is how the heck they're going to play these songs live!

I get what you're saying. I just went to amazon to look up MTM's 30 sec clips. I think the big difference is that LP was still using their old style then and it was easier to judge, but now we really don't know. Here's the link http://www.amazon.com/gp/recsradio/radio/B...mg&volume=4

I totally agree! I think this song would be better without the electronic influence, but once again can't really judge after 30secs. Another about the album is that everyone said that ATS would be way more Mike centric then Chester, but the previews are Chester filled(not that I like Mike being more involved, but these clips don't reflect the reviews). So I don't think we can really judge the album until we've heard the whole thing, like its supposed to be heard.

I lol'ed so hard at Robot Boy. I guess its because its NOTHING like I thought it would be. Most looking forward to BLACKOUT!!!, Waiting For the End, Iridescent (though I wish it was just Chester, Mike makes it worse to me), and Messenger. Really don't like Mike in Burning in the Skies. :S And I'm a bit nervous about the rest of the songs, but I'm not judging until I hear the whole album.

THIS! It sounds a bit to mellow to me too, but I do like it.

I think a LPL lunch before the show would be a GREAT idea!!! College loan money I'm flying from Dallas too, but I'm flying into Laguardia. I'm taking a bus outta there. lol Same. Worked out best for me but I wish it was another day. :S That's a great idea. Very sad but it should probably be done.

Agreed. I wouldn't have become an LP fan without Meteora. Numb is their best song to me.

Thanks for all the help guys! THIS! lol it seems to be happening that way. I wish there was more Chester.

I'm having the same problem and its driving me nuts! Plus I've got the lags in there too. I'm not tech savy so any help would be appreciated!!!

I love it! Great job by the band!! So excited for the album. This has the energy that the Catalyst lacked.

13 more days, but these reviews make me want it RIGHT NOW!! Very excited to hear that they liked Blackout (I really did in the LPTV vid). That was a great review and I'm so pumped for A Thousand Suns!!

I wish Chester could be in a normal movie that I'd want to see. I heard that his trap is supposed to be the worst in Saw History. :/

LOL +1
