Qwerty18

thats what it sounds like but in the music video you can see him singing, which i found weird

Well, in the video for "We Made it", you can see Mike and Chester saying the "oh!" , which are clearly said by Busta Rhymes in reality. I can guarantee you OSC studio is 100% Chester.

With You

For me, Brad is a weak guitarist with amazing riffs (they're not complicated but they are super-catchy)

But once again, Brad is very good at composing/arranging new songs! Really, he has to be the most underrated LP member ...

That would be cool, nice flow of hip-hop, rock and metal!

Ahah, yeah, I tried to mix bands of different genres, since PR is an alternative festival in first place. Such line-up wouldn't be possible, sadly. Disturbed is coming from a pure metal/hard rock scene, and would never tour with acts like Get Busy Comittee or Crystal Castles.

I would rather have Figure.09 back. That song haven't been played for an eternity, despite the fact it's a fan-favorite and a monster song live. We should show more interest to it, seriously!

 

But anyway, I'm gonna join the petition.

Changing my vote to In pièces.....

you post the most unneeded comment on a post trying to reach out for help, we dont need your bullshit.

But agressivity is needed, obviously...

 

I'm gonna donate a little, BTW

I can see BITS in transformers 3.

 

I don't like BITS and I don't like transformers. It fits well...

I know Mike is the brain of LP, but we tend to forget Brad is also really important in the composition phase. Chester have already pointed it out a few times " ...some of the most prolific writers of our times, M.Sinoda and Brad Delson...."

Main Stage

But seriously, I wouldn't like to reduce my life to 1 song...

in pieces

I lol'd at the first post to vote..

Breaking The Habit

I've listened to most of the tracks....Enjoyed all the Glitch Mob stuff (still wondering why so much Glitch Mob though?). Not a fan of the rest. Some tracks really makes me think of supermarket music....

 

But anyway, the help brought to Haiti thanks of this project is what really matter.

They are trying to not limit their 'creativity' by conforming to a sound... okay reasonable.

 

But by (quote) "throwing out an idea as soon as it sounded familiar", doesn't that limit creativity? Boundaries occur when you don't allow for something to occur - that's a boundary

Well done, I couldn't have said it better. Mike should see this!

 

+1

Wow, last round was such pretty close...

 

Breaking The Habbit!

"The Messenger" and "BITS" are definitely not for me. Especially BITS...I dislike everything about it: Mike vocals, the weak chorus, the weak piano parts, the guitar solo who sounds like I've already heard it 100000 times, and the drums sound. This song sounds very "boysband-ish" to me. The third song on that list is probably "Pretend to be".

 

So, all in all:

• BITS
• The Messenger
• Pretend to be

My 2 least favorite lp track are on ATS...but some other ATS tracks are among my favorite...weird...

It would be such a left turn from them aswell with all the casual listeners thinkin LP have gone 'soft' since MtM.

I though for a while this would be a good reason for LP to make a super heavy album and surprise everyone. But I don't believe in it anymore. If we look at LP music between 2007 and now, if we look at Mike recent music suggestions, if we look at LP web-radio,....it's obvious LP have indeed gone soft. Their music tastes have drastically changed since the HT-Meteora era, and 90% of the stuff they like now is alternative/ballads/rap/electronica. So how could they create something heavy? I can't picture myself Mike listening to Vampire Weekend, and then working on a metal song....

my december, to save qwerty!

LESS BALLAD! Damn, MTM and ATS (and even b-sides) are made 70/80% of that.Not that I don't like it, but if they continue in this direction, live shows will become sleepy.

 

Next record could be hip hop or electro or pop...I don't care much, but more energy please!

 

My secret dream would be a really heavy record though, but I'm almost sure it won't happen...

I lol'd. If it takes a lot of talent to scream well, I guess it takes a lot of talent to shit well. :|

 

And Chester hits higher notes in ATS than he did on both HT and Meteora. Most of his vocals on HT were layered together to make him sound more powerful.

I agree on the fact screaming well is more easy to do than singing well. BUT singing with this powerful/rough/half-screamed voice Chester use in HT is way more complicated than singing "softly". Even if he hits higher notes with the soft voice.

 

I don't need to proove that. While Chester can nail the ATS songs live, just listen to how faint sounds live now. Or crawling. Or OSC. Or LFY. Chester can't do it anymore, the chorus have lost all of their agressivity. Because HT vocals need tons of skills, you can't deny it!

Well of course it's not *exactly* the same, but it's so similar it just gets repetitive.

HT is maybe the album I have listened the most in my life, and for me, it never gets old/repetitive. I guess this is just a matter of personnal tastes....

 

But anyway, if we talk about the musical value of a record, I know ATS is more complex than HT. It's obvious. At least instrumentally-spoken. However, as it goes about the vocals, I'm not even sure. I don't think Chester would still be able to sing the Crawling/With You/...chorus like he did in the past.

It's like I'm paranoid lookin over my back! EVERYTHING YOU SAY TO MEEEEEE! CRAAAAAAWLING INNNNN MY SKINNNNN! From the top to the bottom! It's trueeeeee the way I feeeeeeeel! I wanna be in another placeeeee.

I don't know why, but this made me laugh...

 

As for the rest, I know HT is formulaic, but not as much as you pretend it is.

 

Papercut has not really a final chorus, or at least it's different (with the "the suuuuuun....."thing). And there are no agressive/rough vocals during the chorus.

 

Crawling has no brigde.

 

Forgotten has a pre-bridge intro-thing

 

OSC has loud guitars during all the song, not only chorus...

 

And finally, some bridges are rapping, while other are screaming, while other are both, while other are singing...Some verses are rapping while other are singing....There's a similar structure throughout the album, but come on, it's not exactly the same!

Iridescent!

Intelligent music is good music.

The fact that every song on that album was so rock radio-oriented and pop-structured shows a complete lack of musical creativity.

If you were to just read the above sentence about an album, without knowing anything else about it, you would absolutely have to think it was a pop album. Well, those statements are all true of Hybrid Theory.

Hum...maybe for you, good music = intelligent, complex. But to me, good music = enjoyable. Simply enjoyable. An album can be pretty complex, but not pleasant to listen to.And a pop record can be pretty epic, even if the music is super simple. HT is more enjoyable to me than ATS (better melody, more energy), so I think it's better than ATS, even if it lacks complexity.

 

 

Every song on Hybrid Theory sounds the same. It's the same formula over and over and over again. Give me heavy distorted guitars with rap verses, a screaming chorus, a heavy bridge at the 2 minute mark. For God's sake, every song on this album follows the same exact formula.

There's a little bit of truth in what you're saying, but you're exaggerating. How the hell Papercut, One Step Closer, Crawling, Forgotten, and Cure For the Itch have the same structure and sound the same?!
