I just got my special deluxe of their website, love the booklet

It feels on one side odd that they do it now, especially around the album release, considering the fact there is stuff to download. On the other side I gte it since they want to use the new host for launch of the album etc.

BY MYSELF!!!

Fuck Yeah! Awesome performance!

Awesome! so glad to see this songs being performed, cannot wait for the official audio

Great interview, I like the Rick Rubin question was answered.

The Netherlands not far away from Germany. Cologne is always a possible date by the band and this city is really near to the netherlands. But I know what you mean man, you don't want to travel in other countries you want to see the band in your homecountry. I understand this.

yeah exactly I hope in the long run I will find the money to travel either Germany or Belgium if they play there if they don't come to Holland. I am already grateful though that I was able to see Chester with DBS here.

I don't know what I was thinking, sorry.

It's one of their best albums, not sure if it is in the third or second place of my list, HT forever.

No biggie

wow pretty sick setlist

 

That's sad.

Thank you I have to work until late, so yeah it's pretty sad I wake up a little earlier to have some good music to get me through the day

Can't believe it is officially out tommorow in my country! Tommorow I will get up early to grab my iTunes copy!

Great video, enjoyed it better than most of their recent videos

I wish they would come for a concert to Holland for once

 

Honestly though, Chester does a good majority of the vocals on this album anyways. He sings basically every chorus and there are more songs that he sings the entire song on than there was with LT. He sings all of GATS except for Rakim's part, he sings all of War, he sings all of Until It's Gone, and he sings all of Final Masquerade. He also sings basically every chorus for each song. Mike needs to do some vocals, too. I love Mike's vocals on this album.

yeah you are right though, I think I just needed to get used to it. SinceMike is more prominent this record and even hold himself together on the heavier sons

If Chester did all the singing, people would be complaining that we didn't get enough vocals from Mike on this album. I think Mike stepped it up on this album with his singing.

yeah you are probably right about that.

After listening also to the itunes stream, I still think it needs to grow more on me as a whole. Sometimes I feel that Mike's singing parts would have sounded even better with Chester handling certain portions. But oh well Mike does a great job and with probably 3 more album listens I am sold completely.

Chester vocals on Mark the Graves are giving me life

iTunes Stream for the U.S. is out now: http://search.itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZContentLink.woa/wa/link?path=linkinpark

also on the Dutch one, listening now

One thing I noticed though is that Mike seems to be more prominent this record overall vocal wise than other records. I do not know how to put it!

I can't really post much thoughts, since I listened it in one long run together. I can only say that what I heard is great, but I can't give proper judgement until I played it like 5 times. But I will save that for Friday.

I like that the album already hits with a punch!

I am so weak, I told myself I would wait for friday, but I already gave in. I started with Keys To The Kingdom and I first thought I got tricked, even though I read the reviews, the disorted vocals were not like I am expected them to be

THP just leaked

that was fast

Just listened it two times, great track, will save it for now, to listen it in good quality on Friday

...

Great post, I agree with a lot of your points, especially rotating GU and NMS

beautiful song

Guys, we don't actually have to wait for a leak this time, the band will just release the entire album by next Friday

It is actually pretty smart on one side for the casual buyers to make a descision whether to invest in the whole album

About time LP got a #1 single for this album. There was a lot of hype for this track in particular, though, featuring Daron from System and all. It's a great song and deserves the #! spot.

yeah I def. agree.
