Edit: Sorry for Now is such a FANTASTIC song and it kills me that they overdid the electronic elements >.<

I actually think that's why I love Sorry For Now so much. The electronic elements add so much to the song.

LPA is trash. No thanks.

I don't want to start a war. Why can't both websites get along with each other?

One is clearly better than the other but I won't say which and let you guess.

But why does their have to be a war.

Hint: LPA doesn't blindly dick-eat everything LP does like you are making it seem.

The Hahninator summed it up best. A few good moments, but lots of okay and bad moments as well. A 4/10 is a fair evaluation of the chipmunk album. Time to regroup or take a break (forever?).

I think MInus summed it up way better than that. Go check out his review on LPA

Just did with OML.

Highly doubtful.

Trust me, the worst Linkin Park album is better than a lot of cringeworthy stuff you can find out there.

I feel like Linkin Park did an awful job of promoting their new album One More Light. I urge all of you to give it a listen before you judge. Amazingly enough, the 4 songs they released before the album came out are the 4 worst songs on the album in my opinion. And I did not overplay them because I barely played them at all. The album is actually very, very good. Sorry for Now is also a top 10 Linkin Park song ever. It has Chester rapping in it and I never knew I needed that until now. Probably my favorite thing the band has ever done. Please give their new album a chance!

SS: Nobody Can Save Me, Sorry for Now
S: Halfway Right, One More Light, Sharp Edges
A: Good Goodbye, Talking to Myself
B: Battle Symphony
C: Heavy
D:
F: Invisible

Overall Album: A. Album is great! It's not the best LP album but it's still great. It's better than I was expecting and also WAY, WAY better than The Hunting Party!

Album rankings:
1. Living Things

OVERALL: 9.5/10

Great review! I shall give you a hi-five!

Nobody Can Save Me - 4/10

Good Goodbye - 7/10

Talking to Myself - 9/10

Battle Symphony - 3/10

Invisible - 5/10

Heavy - 2/10

Sorry For Now - 6/10

Halfway Right - 6/10

One More Light - 10/10

Sharp Edges - 8/10

 

It gets a D (60/100) rating, which is passing, but BARELY. Please, LP, get away from the 'Clap/Snap' drums and stop using the Chipmunk Vocal Effects.

I think you overreacting. I agree that Heavy is one of the worst songs on the album but 2/10 seems harsh.

Want to hear a 2/10 song?

Listen here:

Sharp Edges and Halfway Right are awful....just pure garbage. Haven't heard the entire thing, but what a piece of shit effort.

Funny, those are two of the best songs on the album in my opinion. Linkin Park really nailed it with those.

That's so cool that you guys met each other

You're welcome for the stream y'all. That was me

 

Goddamn could barely see but that was epic. Got (blurry) pictures with the guys too! https://instagram.com/p/BULGoa_jwnk/

Thank you so much for broadcasting it, the band sounded great

This might be released as an ep

That would be really cool!

I watched Crawling and In the End, plan to rewatch the whole thing when I have more time. They sounded great!

I get the feeling that most of the band werent really as into THP as Mike and Chester were.

 

If nothing else I feel like theres no way Chester could keep up with more than a few songs off that album in one set. A song like mark the graves would really beat up his voice. Just look at rebellion, he had to tone down the screams a lot when playing that live.

 

It really is such a shame that Keys to the Kingdom, Mark the Graves, and War weren't played. I fucking love those songs so much.

Actually I'm good with the 4 songs I go, thanks.

Would have loved Mark the Graves though.

So they play 6 songs in one set from OML but never did that for THP?

Catalyst is a more iconic opener to me than a 3 min poppy song. I think it takes away from the whole Fallout > Catalyst thing. Lmao the thing I liked the most about Buenos Aires was the show opener.

Honestly both openers are pretty bland as openers. Both great songs but shouldn't be openers.

I think One Step Closer should open the set. They should always start the set, start the encore, and end the encore with energy I think,

The person on Periscope is the real MVP!

Seems like different order so far but might be the same setlist, maybe longer. I hope they throw a surprise in there.

I think you made a typo, then. BTH is already in the set.

Breaking the Habit is a top 5 Linkin Park song.

 

Are you kidding me? Easier to Run is the most underrated song Linkin Park has ever made.

Excluding The Hunting Party (because that album changed everything for me), It's a probably a bottom 5 LP song in my opinion.

However, I still love ETR. Great song, LP doesn't really make bad songs I think for the most part. But ETR is the second worst on Meteora in my opinion. Hit the Floor is the worst.

Easier to Run*

Slow down there, we don't one of the worst two songs from Meteora, we want the best.

So last night I saw a band called Real Friends and they threw a curveball by playing an old EP song "Floorboards" on this tour.

I know this will never happen but I really hope Linkin Park throws in a surprise and brings back "Don't Stay"

Always been one of my favorites from Meteora and would add a more energetic song to the setlist.

I think it's inevitable they change it and play more new songs. They ALWAYS change the sets, they won't keep this all year. The USA tour is 29 shows, they have to have different setlists.

The one LP song I haven't seen live that I NEED to see live.

I thought MGK was the entire tour. West Coast is just plus Snoop. Right?

When the tour was first announced all the October dates said support to be announced.

Pooch isn't sound engineer anymore and now they play setlist like this, totaly without any order. Interesting. If it isn't important playing songs in same order over and over again, maybe we can expect more setlist variations. New set looks interesting, maybe should be a little bit longer, 7 studio albums and 21songs/85 mins playing? c'mon LP.

 

Bring back Final Masquerade, Rebellion and swap BTH, Papercut with Invisible and With You.

NEVER EVER EVER GET RID OF BTH

Bleed it Out only started closing every show in 2014. Before that, it was rotated with One Step Closer and a few other songs (Faint during MTM and What I've Done for a few shows)

Thanks!

Nobody Recorded Roads Untravelled?

The full song wasn't played.

Also, has BIO been a closer for 10 years now?

Seems like that's the only 100% certain staple in an LP set is Bleed It Out always closing.

Fck.

Literally Fck.

I hate this so so so much.

I'd rather have MGK!

I literally can not stand Snoop Dogg one bit. One of the most overrated artists of all time.

Where's an up and coming rock band? Or an up and coming rapper who LP could bring more fans.

I was happy when I hears the West Coast dates got someone other than MGK but now I'd rather have MGK back!!!!

Agh!

LPL's definition of what is and isn't a single has always been complete bullshit TBH but I've unsuccessfully argued this way too many times to bother anymore, lol.

 

If it doesn't get released to radio, it's not a single. Period.

Singles get released to radio.

You sure about that, buddy? You've been saying a lot of things that just aren't correct tonight. Might wanna check your facts/take things into consideration first.

I know what I'm talking about.

Technically Battle Symphony isn't a single either, it's a promotional single.

Surprised no one has complained about the only non-single in the setlist being 'Talking To Myself' yet. Fine by me, I think it was executed awesomely.
