I think it's both. First off I'm pretty sure you don't sing in to the particular vocoder he was using. You speak into it monotonously and when you play the keys on the vocoder it turns it into a sung effect. So I don't think he would really have any reason to really lip synch because it wouldn't be that hard to recreate the song. With that being said you do have to have someone playing a keyboard if he was to be using a vocoder like that. And from what I can see there was no one playing the keyboard to adjust the pitches.

i like how much of a "fuck you" to the ats/m2m haters the track was.

i'd rather go to the dentist then listen to robot boy. worst linkin park song I've ever heard. smh, they should have just extended empty spaces by a few seconds to cover that space.

i think if anything they should have had more album songs on the setlist. but it wasn't a bad one all around. guys sounded a lil rough on stage, but I guess after such a long break and probably rushing to practice the songs it's not gunna be perfect just yet.

the line "all i wanna do is trade this life for something new" is ALWAYS stuck in my head. I love the way he sings it, especially at the end during the [climax?] of the song. i definitely got your back on this one lpf4e

looks like reddit is LP friendly. they new a good few of the songs.

I lol'd. please tell me you're not serious?

The member that people gravitate to or that they wait to see a reply from. I think Legend is that guy. I think every thread I visit has his mark in it. Whether he's proving a point or just cracking a joke he always has a solid entry. I see he's a VIP. I'm assuming he paid for that title but it almost feels like his contribution via posts alone earn him that title. He gives the site so much, and wether you hate him or love him(i really hope your a HIM btw) he does whatever he fights for tremendous justice. I don't think I've ever had any sort of contact with Legend, which might be a good thing, but he seems mildly cool and with a 1041 post count (and growing)[epicnessosity] I feel its safe to say that his seemingly obsessive dedication shall not fade into the threads of yesterday, he shall forever remain...a Legend.

a dvd with 3 random spongebob episodes, a package of moist towelletes and a bag of weed?

lol is joe singing?

they look pissed as freak

its time!

definately wished they'd perform wrteches and kings and waiting for the end

i don't think you guys need to be worried about the bands future. Sure, they were arguing but i think that's soemthing that's happened with every album. it has to be, people get annoyed after a while. i think moATS was the first time we really see them getting pissed. i just think they went from OH MAN I LOVE MAKING NEW MUSIC to Oh shit wb and ea want us to make a single and we've got nothing it's blah blah blah's fault, everyones angry... chester says something smart and the end. major let down. lol. oh well, album is still banging

i actually really love this song a lot. it was like an unexpected one for me, but i really feel like it's my favorite Linkin Park track. Lol just last week I said that about wretches and kings too.

i'll say this. black out is not hardcore by any means. chester doesn't belong on the track and thoes who say the ending is weird, the ending is the part that feels like it belongs the most. all the intermission tracks make the album sound like its restarting. they all sound like intro's rather than interludes. first two tracks should have just been one. To me, the messenger was ALMOST epic. but i think chester oversang it. it pushed his vocals to far and it kind of hurt the track. it wasn't bad, but i felt like it was too much. fall out and iridescent are basically throw away tracks. the album is super soft. if you want hardcore you'll get about 2.5 tracks worth it. best songs? Burning in the Skies When They Come For Me (Brad yelling in spanish) Waiting for the End Wretches and Kings Catalyst biggest let downs? Black Out Messenger i can't tell you if this album is bad or good collectively because i don't know how i feel about it. you just have to decide for yourself. all i know is that I am let down a little.

+1

its funny. if all the 30 second samples sounded excellent, like in a way that everyone could agree, people would be like hell yea judge the 30 second sample. but since a lot of people don't like it, there is sort of like a cock block on the lp bashing train. i mean i get it, it's annoying to come on a site dedicated to the band you love and people are just bashing it left and right, but i think its safe to have a little bit of opposition here and there. anyways, in general the 30 second clips are supposed to display some of the strongest moments in the song, or parts that reflect the song as a whole. with that being said i feel like who ever edited out these clips didn't do that very well. and if these are the best reflection than lol the outlook isn't that good. honestly i don't like what I've heard so far. There are a couple of good tracks but I haven't heard anything thats given me the rush that the catalyst, wretches and kings, or even waiting for the end gave me from their 30 clips. Oh yea, and I judged thoes songs by their clips and I loved them afterwards still. I know there are a lot of changes in the music within the album tracks themselves but I'm hoping these clips are a failed representation of the album. Especially BLACKOUT. That synth totally undermines the entire "alleged" hardcore vibe of it.

eh, nothing to lively from the clip. kinda boring. not my favorite doors song either.

just about every recording artist(singing wise) in the industry uses autotune or some form of it, and im pretty sure linkin park does too.

lol it seems to me, that we're starting to get more people getting mad that people are getting upset over the change than people getting upset over the change.

^you had me going and believing in you gradon. then you dropped that tasteless vending machine joke and i just wanted to belly flop on your existence.

lol, did you assume somebody on this site would just know what you said? especially after seeing all the english posts? i don't want to see the movie, because it's saw... but i do wanna see how chester dies lol

smoke the blood out the clot for a few toddlers shalln't splurge the language of pantech. aka good ish man. can't wait.

i'd say he sounds like he's from trinidad and tobago. his accent is much more refined and elegant like the the trini accent. the jamaican accent is just so rough and-- oh wait I(you) haven't even heard the whole song yet so how would I(you) be able to truly tell what he sounds like just yet? stick that in your pipe and smoke it!
