This x10000000000000

These are some pretty good ideas, but they won't happen. It will be mostly singles, new songs, and ballads. Which sucks because they have so much great material to work with at this point. I just really hope they stop doing partial songs. And please stop playing BID....please.

This is funny and all, but honestly, what's the difference between Heavy or BS and a Bieber song? Not much really.

This makes sense considering what the new album sounds like. Heavy and BS could easily be Bieber songs.

Yes, Heavy is getting plenty of play on pop radio stations. As for BS, I disagree, what song on ATS does it remind you of? I really like ATS, but to me, it doesn't resemble anything I've heard so far from OML.

They wrote 80 songs, and somehow Heavy and BS made the album ?

Look man, I have zero interest in what you think about my criticism. Do me a favor, and don't get involved with what I have to say. I'm going to say whatever I want about the music and the band....you don't like it, skim over it and move on.

Another fanboy, who can't accept that people don't like everything LP does. If you like bad hip hop and boring pop music, good for you. I don't care for it, and am allowed to hate it. Get over the fact that not everyone goes crazy over everything they do.

This Stormzy dude sounds awful. I like a lot of hip hop, but this is crap. Every bit of news that is released about this album makes me less and less interested in it. Pretty sure it's fake....which sucks because it sounds better than anything they've actually released.

I agree....I never have had a problem with them trying different things. Actually, I enjoy it. However, these songs are too generic and seem a bit uninspired to me. They've released plenty of "pop" songs before, most people didn't freak out when they did. There's a difference this time. I'm not sure if Mike doesn't hear it, or he just doesn't care. It's his music, his band, obviously he and the guys can do whatever they want. I will never understand why they chose this route though. No, people complain because the music is crap. Release a well thought out, inspired, catchy pop song, and people will dig it. Release this garbage, people will complain. Just my opinion. I get that some people like it, I don't know why they do, but I understand that it works for some.

He doesn't understand why people are upset with the music they've released? It has nothing to do with being different....it has everything to do with being horrible.

I don't care what people like or don't like.you like this, cool. I think it's pure pop garbage. Both of these songs are huge steps backwards for the band. Why make crappy pop songs? Why bring in outside writers? You can hear the influence of these people who are typically writing songs for Katy Perry and Bieber. Why would they want to go that route? People can say what they want, but this is all Mike and Brad. They're so obsessed with each album sounding different, that they don't care what that different sound actually is. These songs will be awful at concerts. Who knows if they'll even play them. They don't play much of their current album on tours these days anyway. Whatever, I'm done with this topic. Enjoy the music.

Whatever dude....moving on. I don't honestly care that much. Used to love this band and this site.... now the music is garbage and the site has become a bunch of little kids freaking out every time someone unearths some horrible demo. LP could literally release the worst music ever and somebody would tell you how epic it is.

Yeah, so like I said....Astat can say whatever he wants because you know him, but that doesn't apply to others....seems logical. I've never insulted anyone on here, other than Astat. And the only reason I do, is because he always has some wise ass, I'm smarter than you, thing to say to me. So do me a favor, spare me the bs about my behavior.

I love how Astat can talk crap to me, but when I reply, some moderator decides they have to remove my post. What's the deal here? Astat has free reign to talk crap, but I'm not allowed to reply to him? He acts like a know it all dickhead 90% of the time, but I guess that's ok. This place has become a joke. I guess as long as you love everything LP does and agree with the higher ups, you're all good.

Oh weird, you skip over all the other criticisms, and choose to quote only me. Shocking. As usual, I don't mention you, but you just can't help being a douche, and have to mention me. I'm sorry that my opinions bother you so much.

These songs are embarrassingly bad. Just pure shit.

What the hell happened to this band? Seriously, what happened to making original songs that made you want to listen to them over and over again? This sounds like pure garbage. I've lost any hope for this album at this point. Mike saying that everything he was hearing on the radio sounded the same, and then releasing this crap a few years later is the definition of hypocrisy.

These clips have given me hope for the album. Talking to Myself sounds like it would have been a great first single.

If they never play BID again...ever...that would be great.

I'm sure you're right, but that wasn't the case where I live. Either way, I find it hard to believe that they weren't thinking about reaching a broader audience with this record.

Not liking this song has nothing to do with nu-metal. The song is embarrassingly simple and generic. It's nothing more than a radio friendly pop tune. And whether they admit it or not, after THP, this is exactly what they were going for. THP got zero radio exposure, and even though bands say they don't care about things like that, they do....and more importantly, labels do. I just find it all to be ironic, since Mike trashed exactly this type of music leading up to THP.

Not hating, just find the song boring.

This song will be perfect for a bathroom break at the live shows.

Chester comparing Heavy to the songs he mentioned is ridiculous. Obviously, I don't like the song, but I'm pretty amazed that they don't think it's a pop song. Mike denied it, and now Chester is saying this.
