Joe's posted this just now on his Instagram with caption: "...I am not that animal in the woods. #mallmovie"

Few photo for the "Final Masquerade" music video

I'm going to get it in, like, 5 minutes, so I'll let you guys know if it's any good or not.

so, how was it? great?

The band tweet that "Until It's Gone" is features in the upcoming video game, "Transformers: Rise of the Dark Spark"

i dont know what are you guys argue about. all i wanna say is this show is one of the best show from them. those backdrop, with LP logo, reminds me when they touring during HT and Meteora where there's no visuals on the back. i love it. lorenzo said they recorded the show but not sure if they will release it in nearest time.

Joe's posted this on Instagram. Looks awesome.

Joe Hahn's "The Mall" movie has already been released in France and as you guys know, there will be songs from Linkin Park (technically just Mike, Chester, Joe, and Phoenix) and Alec Puro of Deadsy. LPA managed to dissect the movie and get the clips out - kudos for being so fast! There will be 4 songs from the movie which are:

1. "Warm Spell" (from "LIVING THINGS" recording sessions)

2. "Luna" (one of the Dell's "LP Stagelight" sample names)

3. "Ammosick" (from the "MInutes to Midnight" sessions but was worked on for "A Thousand Suns" session)

4. "White Noise" (possibly a "LIVING THINGS" demo)

10/17/2014 EDIT: White Noise has been released! Free download here.

Here's the full song credits: http://i.imgur.com/6zxPs8O.jpg

And here are the song clips from the movie:

"Extended Opening Credits Song" (Note: If you remember the "TERRIFIED" lyrics from the video of "The Hunting Party" trailer, this is the song!)

"Third Act"

"Trailer Music Feature"

"Extended Closing Credits Song"

Here is a recap of the listening event for The Hunting Party, created by LPFanCorner! Mike joined in and this year the event was under the "official" status (promoted by the band). Congrats to LPFC for this accomplishment! Like he did with Living Things, Mike gave a lot of background information on the songs.

1. "Keys to the Kingdom"

"Of all the songs, Keys to The Kingdom was my favorite to open the album because of the constant sonic surprises"

"The chorus vocal was a stream-of-consciousness vocal (and lyric) by Chester. He didn't write it down, just sang whatever came to mind."

"That's me saying "Try and do the other thing"--I was talking to Rob when we were recording drums"

"The "I'm not allowed to say certain things" was a clip we put here because we originally had another clip..."

"But we weren't allowed to use it because of legal reasons!"

2. "All for Nothing (feat. Page Hamilton)"

"All For Nothing features Page Hamilton from the band Helmet. Helmet was one of the bands whose aggressive / melodic sound was..."

"...one of my inspirations while writing #TheHuntingParty"

"If you listen, you can hear my vocal mixed with Page's in the chorus"

"The music behind the interlude before "Guilty All The Same" is an original piece. That's me singing "ohhh""

3. "Guilty All the Same (feat. Rakim)"

"Guilty All The Same was the first song on #TheHuntingParty Rob recorded drums for. He worked up to this performance for about a month."

".@ask_brittany The artwork was a collaboration between @JamesJeanArt, us, and Ghost @gtmvfx #TheHuntingParty"

"Rakim is one of my favorite rappers of all time. His verse here is a perfect example of why. #TheHuntingParty"

"To me, Rakim's verse is the perfect mix of technicality, content, and emotional expression. #TheHuntingParty"

"HOW REAL COULD REAL BE"

"The album began with a series of demos that were more electro/indie/alt. Then I realized I didn't want that."

"GATS was one of the early demos that helped define the direction of the album. #TheHuntingParty"

4. "The Summoning"

"The Summoning" was a sonic experiment that we added late in the process, to give the listener's ear a palette cleanser before “WAR"

5. "War"

"WAR was a demo that Chester brought in. Very little changed between the demo version and the final. #TheHuntingParty"

"If you listen carefully, Chester actually says "1, 2...1-2-THANK YOU""

"There was an alternate version where he said 1-2-1-2-F*CKYOU"

"Rob recorded the drums to "war" in one take"

6. "Wastelands"

"My verses in "Wastelands" were written before the music ever existed. Just words on my computer. #TheHuntingParty"

"Actually...just the 1st verse. The 2nd verse, on the other hand, got re-written during the final month of recording. #TheHuntingParty"

"The last chorus in "Wastelands" completely changes chord structure (it's not the same as the rest of the song)."

"I think that was the first time we ever did that on a song."

7. "Until It's Gone"

"The structure of "Until It's Gone" is based on building to a DROP; got the idea when working on "A Light That Never Comes" w/ @steveaoki"

"Although it can be about regret (the usual meaning of "don't know what you've got until it's gone"), UIG has an alternate meaning"

"As a parent, your child won't grow into their potential until they leave the nest. You don't know what you've got until it's (your're) gone"

"There were more trap elements in the album at one point, but we thought they ended up being silly, except this UIG interlude"

8. "Rebellion (feat. Daron Malakian)"

"REBELLLIIOOOON!"

"Trivia: our first show EVER was opening for @systemofadown"

"We've run into those guys many times over the years. Daron joined me in the studio and brought the guitar riffs that became Rebellion"

"One thing I love in "Rebellion" is the cheekiness/sarcasm in the lyrics. We usually have a hard time pulling this off, but it worked here."

9. "Mark the Graves"

"Mark The Graves was one of the earliest demos on the album. At one point, I wanted it to be the 1st song on the album. #TheHuntingParty"

"We recorded all the drums on the album to tape instead of computer. I think you can really hear it on this song."

"We also set up a really unique kit for this song. In particular: we balanced a couple tambourines upright on Rob's snare, with duct tape."

"Chester & I usually do all the lyrics on the albums, but Brad helped too on #TheHuntingParty"

10. "Drawbar (feat. Tom Morello)"

"Tom @tmorello came through to hang/write. The conversation and experience was the best part. We included this jam as a reminder of the day"

"Tom's writing style is alien to us, ha. Very "jam" oriented, while ours is more "writing into the computer.""

11. "Final Masquerade"

"Final Masquerade was one of the last songs finished for the album. The original vocal was me singing all the way thru. CB sounds better!"

"Rob saved this song, too. The original beat I wrote was more complicated but had no soul. Rob improvised this drum groove & it felt perfect."

12. "A Line In the Sand"

"The opening vocal part on A LINE IN THE SAND was written years ago, while we were making A THOUSAND SUNS #TheHuntingParty"

"It didn't work back then. But when I was working on this song, I sang the vocal and it (finally) fit.#TheHuntingParty"

"There are lots of different guitar tones and amp setups on this song, giving each part its own flavor, and holding attention over 6 minutes"

"LINE IN THE SAND is one of my favorite #TheHuntingParty songs. It feels like it does everything that LP does, in one song."

"MOSH PIT"

"Brad's solo and Rob's drums at the end of LINE IN THE SAND are one of the best moments on #TheHuntingParty"

"The fill that ends the song was an improvisation. I didn't know Rob could play that fast, ha"

The original uploader recommended VLC or Media Player Classic since this seems to be a common problem with webcasts. VLC worked just fine for me.

Oh i see. it's okay. found the show on YouTube (same quality).

i've downloaded from the MEGA link and the video has no audio. is it me or anyone else facing the same problem too?

"Until It's Gone" just hit 1,000,000 views on YouTube in less than a week. Amazing!

I've heard so many complaints about this album, not particularly here, but a few places. Some say the guitars are too similar, some say chesters voice is too distorted, some say mike raps too much, some say the songs are too heavy for no reason.

 

Are these people really making those complaints about Linkin Park? Those sound like phrases that are key traits to their sound since they started. Similar guitars, rapping, heavily produced vocals, heavy songs. I just find the complaining a little too much. You can't create a fantasy football band that makes everything you want. Sit back and enjoy the creative-awesomeness that is every album from Linkin Park.

THIS! I dont understand why people keep complaining bout this album. I bet if LP makes another HT, people still keep complaining bout it. If the band changes, they said the band getting worst. If the band stay with their style, people will said they're not creative. As Qwerty18 said, "Haters gonna hate"

If that's important - Emile Haynie is credited in the BMI database.

Read on Wiki, he won "Best Rap Album" for Eminem's Recovery at 2010 Grammy Awards.

One of my favourite song from the album. During "Listening Session", I rate this song 5/5. lol

I remember a thread about a "game where you can unlock new songs from Mike" started here not long ago. I guess this is the game. So, it's basically a version of Recharge for iPad where you can unlock new songs from THP? Sounds nice.

Yeah! totally forgot bout that. hopefully there's someone already played this game.

Started to listen to them on 2000. Before them, I used to listened to Limp Bizkit but then, one day, my brother showed me a new band in the magazine which is Linkin Park. since then, i've started to collects all their stuff till now.

Thanks lpplus!

Nice review man! I like it!

Glad you like it man! i've typing those review while i still remember. now,started to forget little bit. lol

You say Mark the Graves had footage and imagery of whales and ocean?

Yup. it's a footage that shows a bunch of people who's hunting whales on the sea and killed them. nothing to do with Linkin Park actually. that random guy at Warner Music Malaysia find those video. haha

It's like a rebirth of LINKIN PARK

 

Best line i've read from a review, awesome! what kind of visuals they used during the songs?

Already replied on chat but it's okay. haha. They used lots of footages based on song titles. Example like "War", they using footages of World War, and more. For GATS & UIG, they used lyric videos.

Thank you Stranger

My pleasure.

Wow, nice review Stranger! Thanks for sharing!

no problem Geki. it's not accurate cuz i'm having problem with my left ear. so,it's kinda hard to listened to it. sigh.

One of the lucky people to be selected for Listening Party in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia! Here's my review. Not too details i think.

1. KEYS TO THE KINGDOM: It's heavy. It's not like what I expected but it's great. Heavy. Chester's keep screaming. (4/5)

2. ALL FOR NOTHING (feat. PAGE HAMILTON): I must said I love Page Hamilton voice. The chorus part really catchy. Mike's rapping as usual. (5/5)

Final Masquerade cover was accurate. So, maybe they all are?

I think "All For Nothing" and "Keys to the Kingdom" is fake. the rest it's official.
