  1. neither do I it just sounds weird when I listen. On another note, anyone like the sublties thrown in throughout the album like the synthesized voices in the very very background of In My Remains, or the way that Victimized sounds like a record. Or just how layered the album is in general
  2. If you buy the CD read the thank yous....especially Joe's its fucking hilarious lol
  3. Itunes is 256 kbps, so is amazon. Getting a CD is better since you can get flac quality, which is what I'm doing since listening to 256 with my headphones doesn't sound nearly as good as flac. Also it was probably the player or equalizer that was causing clipping. With studio headphones you shouldnt need an equalizer or volume enhancement past an external amp and a DAC. I mean it all depends on your headphones as well. I've listened to ATS so many times from straight CD and I notice different nuiassances in the music each time. /audiophile lecture
  4. Ahhh Album release time.....When everyone on here shows their true colors to everyone else, and you get bitched at if you say you don't like HT/Meteora or ATS/MTM. Then there's the undeserving people who bitch no matter what. Personally Like I've said I feel like this is the album that should've been where ATS was. Granted I think ATS is a masterpiece. MTM will always be my favorite album by them with ATS coming in a close second. This is as good as ATS or slightly better. There's only three or four songs I don't like on here. Burn it Down, Lies Greed Misery, I'll Be Gone, and sometimes Skin to Bone and sometimes Lost in the Echo. My favorites are Roads Untraveled, Castle of Glass, In My Remains.
  5. Like I said before, what your hearing in the during 00:53-00:56, and 1:43-1:45 is all single bass. Rob is hitting the bass on the upbeat rather than the downbeat. Like think of it this way. count to 4 but go 1and2and3and4and (For simplicity purposes). Rob is hitting between the number and the and. Like as his snare hit starts to come up the bass hits half-way between the beat and the next snare hit. This makes it seem like he is hitting during the snare hit as well, just because how heavy he is hitting the snare and how heavy the music is behind him. Like I said ALOT of punk/hardcore/metalcore bands use it if they don't have a double bass. LP has dabbled into hitting on the upbeat on In Pieces. That entire guitar line is hit on the upbeat, which is a huge characteristic of Ska music. During 00:27-00:29 That might be sampled drums like I said, but again sounds like the bass drum in alot of the other songs on the album. If Rob did actually play that, it can be played using a single. the Double just makes it easier, since playing 8th notes at that speed with a single bass actually takes a tole on your leg haha, plus there are quads and triplets, sometimes back to back which is possible but extremely difficult.
  6. Are you talking about during the first singing part where it sounds sorta sampled. and there are quads and triplets every few beats. It sounds like the same bass thats being used on In My Remains. If that is played on a bass pedal it could be either double or single. There are plenty of drummers talented enough to play that bass part with one pedal. The second pedal would just take the strain off their leg. It would be something to ask at a M&G The bass in the rest of the song different. What you're hearing in the rest of the song is the bass being on the up-beat which makes it seem doubled when it's played correctly. It's a common thing in hardcore punk music, when someone doesnt want to use a double bass but still wants it to sound aggressive. As well Rob is doing some quick doubles which sound like it's a double bass as well.
  7. You think a song, that references an army dying one soldier at a time is a better fit for a war game.....
  8. I'm wondering something....it looks like this song was played live.....wait.....was the whole album played in berlin???
  9. I'm right there with you MTM all the way....this might beat it though
  10. Shouldn't this thread be renamed "It Leaked Living Things Edition"
  11. This honestly looks like clips from a documentary I honestly love Castle of Glass, it's just so upbeat and happy and sounds so good. The final snippet before Burn it down sounds pretty awesome too
  12. These sound so good, does anyone else think I'll be gone has a similar melody to When they Come for Me?
  13. I think that it's played at a normal speed the sped up recording I think is done with a slo-mo camera that makes things more fluid.
  14. I wonder how they did that, it almost looked like a variation of tilt shift photography
  15. Does anyone else notice they look like they are having a blast in that video?
  16. well looks like I wont be seeing LP again. I have no way to get to Cinci, and thats the closest venue.
  17. For a sec I thought that was the US store and I was like holy shit Warner is a money grabber that album is 18 bucks?!? Then I clicked the view in itunes button and It yelled at me for being in the wrong store xP
  18. can someone give me some details about the 2nd puzzle? I read Cipher which is a mathematical tool used to decode some sort of encryption. Thats what I'm studying. So if someone gives me some sort of details, I can try to figure shit out, my school has had tons of bomb threats so I'm kinda bored with no classes I need something to make me think.
  19. Great band there, if LP made roots in folky/acousticy songs then adapted them, they will be really upbeat songs that will have meaningful lyrics.
  20. This is really really good i really want it lol
  21. I donated!! I have followed this site for awhile and wouldve donated sooner If i had the chance.
