Nice one! Didn't read the entire text and noticed it's Miami '01 instantly 😀 That read mohawk!

We made it to the book's credits, yeah 😀

That trailer gave me goosebumps! I wasn't that exited about a LP release since a long time.

Unreleased PR04 IEM, can't get much better than this Thanks Felipe!

LOL I came here to post this exactly. Glad to have like-minded persons <3

A 22.62GB torrent of the 4K broadcast is available at rutracker, on it with two webseeds. Let's do that TB! I'll upload it to LP-Bits once it's done (it'll take some hours), if no one else does it.

Thanks! His notes are worth reading as well.

Awesome vid! Could be right from Ozzfest 2001!

As mentioned in the shoutbox earlier, it reminded me of the 'True Detective' intro, visually. http://i.imgur.com/roHWm86.png Yeah, at first I was wondering why the Outro was included, but then it suddenly made sense.

Just had the first listen and I'm positively surprised! I didn't expect them to do such a "hard" record again after their latest albums. I'm not that into Rock anymore, but I already prefer this album over their electro-influenced pop/rock albums (especially ATS).

That reminds me that there was such a "ticket alert" in the latest eventim.de newsletter from about a week ago. It read something like "Does the acclaimed band come to Germany with their new album 'The Hunting Party'? Register for the ticket alert and get informed immediately!" Maybe that was just written on assumption, or they already have some information that's not public yet.

Nice, great interview. Seems like a cool guy! When we too pictures with Chester in Hamburg 2009 (DBS gig) I wanted a Pooch autograph but he just didn't respond... probably because he was there as "Chester's Bodyguard" and wasn't relaxed, lol. http://i.imgur.com/2ecSklO.jpg

Fuck yeah!

Awesome! "Yo what's up? Snipers!"

What a brilliant interview. I didn't expect to be that excited for the next LP record.

Malakian, wooh!

For a fan, a couple of festival shows don't substitute a real tour. I wouldn't want to travel across the entire country just to pay more money than I want to, to be part of a festival I don't want to be part of, just to see my favourite band. I don't think LP has ever neglected Europe, though. So I myself wouldn't dare to coplain. New LP out this year? Sounds awesome! I hope they don't try to completely re-invent themselves once again. Living Things was a step in the right direction imho. No DSPs? Sounds great from a taper/collector's perspective, so recordings actually have some value again and are worth listening to.

"We have a new fucking rock star right here, man!"

Almost every recent LPU CD (if not all) was sourced from lossy material, if I recall correctly. The sound quality between their digital downloads and "lossless" CDs doesn't differ that much. It'll be interesting to see if any of the songs of the upcoming CD are truly lossless - I do hope so! Ready for some new demos! Time to re-listen to the previous volumes again!

"Will you be playing either Reading or Leeds Festivuhls?"

Thanks! 10 years O_O Yeah, I wonder if this is actually different to the copy that's flying around. Need to dig that one out and compare. Also wondering what that "Original master is around 4 GB" comment is about. I know in the very first trade I made for that show all I got was a ~4GB MPG video because the other person wasn't able to do an exact DVD copy, so she (?) did some kind of manual transfer that bloated the file. Dunno if this could be related to the "original master" note... Edit: Just compared them (found my 1,61GB copy), the first .vobs are identical in MediaInfo. I made a screenshot of the same frame and they're identical, too. The DIME upload doesn't have the bluescreen in the 2nd vob. Looks like this is just the exact same copy we had for years. I assume there's only one transfer ever made, and judging by this screenshot that one was made using a standalone DVD-Recorder.

Thanks! Another great find. Yeah, a lot of small skips here and there. Also, the FLACs aren't lossless. Edit: Thanks for the fix! Who transcoded these to FLAC and why all the skips^^

The resurrection of audience recordings?

Across The Line is actually sourced from lossless material this time, unlike the shitty LPU CD version. LPU WAVBONUS AAC So they do have lossless demo versions in their vault. Makes me wonder why they create the LPU CDs from lossy material then. I demand Remasters! ^^
