  1. Now that I've heard a tease of it, I'd love to have the entire ATS demo "Chicken Basket". Mike said back then that this demo made him feel like he was on drugs.

     

    And damn, listen how awesome it sounds (0:46 onwards)

     

     

    And also, some of the super heavy songs from the MTM era, about which Mike still talked recently.

  2. Ah, it's pretty cool to see some people talking about this song! :)

     

    Vocal-wise, it's one of my favorite performance of Chester (including LP-stuff) . It sounds so raspy and evilish! I guess Condemned is the only other song I can think of where he uses that singing style.

     

    Unfortunately, I doubt Chester can still sing this way nowadays. Maybe he isn't even interested by it anymore. Anyway, facts are there :from ATS onwards, his raspy voice have been getting worse and worse live. And studio-wise, the amount of raspy parts have decreased a ton in their new material. ATS had WAK chorus. LT didn't really have one big raspy part, except for some lines ("...to burn it down!", "one last lies").

  3. Seriously? There is SUCH a sing as musically immature. I don't even want to get into this argument to be honest. But there definitely is such a thing as musical immaturity.

    Yep, no need to get into this argument, you wouldn't convince me anyway, even with all caps ;)
  4. As far as lyrics go, MTM and ATS were a lot more mature lyrically then LT is. I remember an interview with Chester back in early 2012 saying the lyrics in LT were about relationships. In Pieces was an example of a song about a bad relationship that still remained mature lyrically. Lyrics like ''I wanna see you suffer all alone in your misery'' or ''This time I've finally let you go'' don't seem very mature to me. But it's not just about lyrics. It has to be lyrically immature and musically immature, much like the music on early LP work was or kids like that won't listen to it. LP could make a song that lyrically was about having a temper tantrum and have a ATS style backing it up musically and it wouldn't do as well for those kids as a heavy guitar and drum oriented rock track about having a temper tantrum. For example, Blackout in a way could be about throwing a fit (the first half). One Step Closer literally is about throwing a fit. But the music for the songs are drastically different. Which IS STILL a bigger hit with those kinds of people? OSC. LP made the mistake of making the same album with Meteora and that just branded it into non LP fans minds that that is the only kind of music they can make. MTM was a good attempt at breaking away, it did the job. Remember how mad all those kids were in 2007? Then ATS was the perfect attempt, it killed off whatever nu-metal kids were still hanging by because of MTM and New Divide. They accomplished what they wanted. But then in 2012, they released fucking BID and LT. Which is like a huge step back. LT to me has always sounded like the album that came IN BETWEEN MTM AND ATS. It makes sense to me, the songs sound more like New Divide. New Divide was in between MTM and ATS.

    You've been hanging around on LPA too much...:lol: Just kidding, eh.

     

    But, there isn't such things as "musically immature". Lyrics can be immature, but not the music. Kids like heavy guitars? Good for them. That won't stop me for also liking them, even if I'm not exactly a kid anymore.

     

    And "accomplished what they wanted" argument is funny, since I guess, they accomplish what they want with each album release. They did wanted to make reminescent from the past music this time, and so they did.

  6. guys, don't get excited too much, everyone has the right to express his opinion and then shove it up his a$$.

    it feels like only 40% of this article talking about LP. and it's wierd.

    Yep, this.

    Just another rock purist that hated Nu-Metal and and never gave newer LP albums a chance. I doubt that he's even listened to anything post Hybrid Theory.

    Well, yes, since he said he liked The Catalyst and Burn It Down.

     

    To me, it sounded like he basically hated all LP stuff, the "old teeny nu metal stuff", and the "new pretentious stuff".

     

    Not that I care about what some random critics says btw. It's not the first time someone is bashing on LP, and it will not be the last.

  7. I don't see anything negative about LP renewing their contract with Warner. The band seems to be free creatively, and the fact LP still is under Warner allows us to hear those old LP demos each year. And also, I'm pretty sure LP would loose a lot of popularity if it was not for Warner promotion.

     

    Honestly, I think that a lot of the people who want LP to leave Warner think that way because they assume LP will become much more creative if they go indie. Especially those who believe Living Things was made because of label pressure. This whole argument sounds artificial to me; I really think LP is doing what they want musically nowadays.

     

    So yes, if LP wants to leave, it's fine, and if they don't, it's fine. It really doesn't matter to me as long as they deliver music I enjoy.

  8. I love all the tracks. The only ones I did not know about before this mix were Trust Company, Snot and Kittie.

    Yeah, Kittie was one of the few I didn't know either. Well, I knew the band, and I remember Mike saying a while ago (during the HT or Meteora days) that he liked it, but I had never heard that particular song... the riff in it is seriously awesome !
  9. Ah, it was nice to hear those songs again! And as I said earlier in this thread, who cares if a genre is "dead" or not? The main thing is, some people are still enjoying it, deal with it :)

  12. you cannot decide what is dead... if someone still loves that, it lives for who listens it. okey?

     

    you dont have to listen what you dont like..

    Yep, I agree with this. Telling people to stop listening to a musical style because it's supposed to be dead is ridiculous.

     

    Personnaly, I love nu-metal, 80's new wave music, 90's grunge and other genres that aren't really trendy to do anymore. But who cares, since I still enjoy listening to that music :)

  13. I'm too lazy to make an entire tracklist, but here is how it would have begun....

     

    1. Annoncement Service Public

    2. Qwerty

    3. Across The Line (with the heavy intro - acetate version)

    4. What We Don't Know

    5. Asbestos (a completed version) + Wake transition into..

    6. Given Up

     

    I have this tracklist in my music library, and I love the tone MTM could have had with such songs.

     

    For the other tracks, I'd have included Blackbirds, In Pieces, TLTGYA, No More Sorrow, HHH, and NRL, but I don't know the order. Maybe WID and BIO. Also, maybe Pale as an interlude, but in a shortened form. 5 min instrumental would have broken the flow of the record :lol:

     

    Exit : LOATR, SOTD, Valentine's Day, In Between.

  14. I'm getting suspicions that Debris could of been an early demo of HHH..

    Not possible. The BMI repertoire don't mention demos titles of released song (Bang Three, Drum Songs, Fear are not on it for example).

     

    Debris and HHH are both listed in that repertoire, so they're totally different songs.

  15. I love this new release!

     

    Pepper, Ominous, and So Far Away all have that old LP vibe I'm a fan of (and I'm not even talking about the heavy guitars, it's more about the samples, and Mike melodies in So far away). So far Away might be my favorite on the CD. So fucking happy we're getting a new unreleased HT-era track!

     

    Now, the MTM material. First, I have to say, it was a nice surprise to see that much material from that era. But some of those are the less good stuff on the CD I guess... Homecoming and Asbestos are really amazing though! Nice to finally get some MTM heavier demos. :)

     

    The only thing I missed with LPU12 was 1 or 2 ATS demos, which would have been a better addition to the CD than POA and Forgotten demos I think.

     

    But anyway, I just have to thank LP for giving us the opportunity to have an insight in their music process. That's not really common in the music business, and the simple fact we're getting those demos is awesome. :)
