I think Mike's post is more about the hype than about getting us buy the record. He know that most of the people who read his blog are hardcore LP fans who have already preordered LT anyway, so listening to the leak would not make them not buy the record, it would just makes them listening to it earlier. The way I see it, he's just trying to make Living Things release more special to some people. It's like the longest you wait, the bigest the excitement will be. And there's a weird feeling when you get the physical record in your hands, but you don't know how it will sound. Of course, it can sound like a "buy the record" argue to those who haven't preordered. But to those who have done it, it's just about the surprise/hype/.... I fully understand it might sound a little over-the-top to some people however

Don't jump up the guns on Crawling being dropped, I'm almost sur it will be played again at other shows Anyway, Blackout + Lies + APFMH + Given UP ...wow, I bet this set won't last long, good way to break Chester's voice

Personnaly, I have never said I judged LP perfomance. Seeing the youtubes videos, I'm sure it was great. Energetic, good Chester vocals, ect. I think people are disappointed of the lame crownd, not of the band. Because it wasn't supposed to be a lame crownd, it was supposed to be a freaking rocking crownd. Seeing all thoses guys standing silent while they were all going insane in the past of RAR performance, it sucks very hard I'd say. You can't compare that to the early 2000 shows. LP wasn't famous back then, hardly anybody gave a shit, but it was more "logical". Back then, LP was just a little opening band that had everything to proove. Yesterday, they were headlining one of the biggest festival in the world.

I knew it. As soon as LP announced they would have a new record out this summer, I knew people who wouldn't like the album would say this. Exactly this. The whole "It was too soon to make a new record, they rushed the process, they should have taken more time to make something more awesome". First, if LP members think this album is good enough to be released, I don't see why they should take more time to rewrite songs again and again. It would just lead them to "overthink" a song for the sake of it, and THAT would be dishonest. Second, you're being negative about the whole record while you have only heard 2 songs (well, 3 with Tinfoil). 3/12. The 9 other songs must be irrelevant.

WTF Rock Am Ring?! That crowd was so shitty I feel bad for LP. And it's even more lame for a crownd who used to be great during LP shows. I'm not even interested to see proshots of this anymore.

I can now officialy say : FUCK YOU, warner! Good night.

I like them too, but I don't really know a lot of their stuff. I personnaly prefer MH though.

F*ck this, where is that promised LP 3 song stream? Wow, we all got f*cking trolled on this one. ***btw haters can hate whatever they want, but Machine Head is great

Rock am Ring insane crownd + current setlist.....it's gonna be a freaking rocking show! I would have loved to go there, it's not that far away from where I live but stupid exams period didn't allow me to do so.

The guy who trolled us with the forgotten rumor.....need to be...destroyed. Great setlist anyway

With You That's was a difficult choice, Bleed It Out, the Medley, and even Lies Greed Misery were awesome too!

If this setlist is being played at Rock Am Ring..... The crownd will not survive. Seriously, it will be mosh pit after mosh pit Such an awesome selist.

Freaking rocking fabulous great setlist!!!!!!!!! So much energy. New intro. APFMH. With You. POA. LGM. Medley. Sabotage. = mind blown I'm so happy they didn't dropped the old songs after the show at House Of Blues. Also, it's impressive to see how they managed to play the oldies with 99 % of their singles! The medley is the best idea they've had for a setlist since years. I mean, it's very beautiful, and it let them play 3 soft songs in 1 song, which leaves more place for energetic songs in the setlist. Congrats, LP. And thank you. EDIT: and also, Chester singing face to face with that guy during Crawling was funny and awesome!

I just feel like a lot of people hate this song because of how electro it is...Like you know, the common "it's not rock, it's pop electro bullshit, and where are the GUITARS????". Or close-minded things like that. That's where most of the complaints on youtube are coming from at least. Sure it has its bad sides, but it's nowhere that terrible or "worst lp song ever".

Great great track!! I wasn't expecting it to sound like that at all, but what a killer song! Also, it was nice to see this connection between Mike and the fans during the BBC show:)

Chester hates this track, not the band. I think someone in the band has to really like it and really wanted to play it again, since it's certainly not Chester who came with the idea. Awesome that they did it btw

WITH YOU!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm like jumping alone in front of my computer lol....I'm so glad they played it again!! Also, Tinfoil, Sabotage, POA, Blackout, BID, POA....this setlist is freaking great, seriously

Curious about the WTFTE intro

I was going to post about those same 2 songs

I like what I've heard, even if it sounds very dancy so far. Need to listen to the full song for judgment. Also....I just have a weird feeling, as I'm both happy and dissapointed at the same time. Happy to have finally get a snippet, but....disappointed to have listened to it! After those 2/3 weeks of waiting, I should probably have wait until monday for the full song. Oh well....ahah

Yep, I had the same feeling some days ago. And this feeling was empowered by the poor quality leak and the super-catchy chorus in it. Guess it's good news for LP if it turns to be true

Seriously, I think I have never been that excited for a new LP record since I'm following the band, around pre-MTM era. All of what has been said so far regarding the new record (more up-tempo, mixing old and new, heavier electronic elements....and the descriptions of 5 songs right here) have really got me pumped. Can't wait !!

Yes, I think there's a secret conspiracy behind all of that. My bet...LP has gone illuminati.

Agreed Not agreed. Too easy and too generic judgement. If distorted guitars are used the right way and in the right moment, they can be very pleasant.

But maybe THEY want the guitars backs. Just saying... And more guitars doesn't necessarily means more heavy guitars. LP could experiment with tons of guitar pedals to get weird noises /original guitar textures. See what bands like Joy Formidable do with guitar pedals, it's pure awesomeness.
