So.. like HT and Meteora but in 2017?

That happened to me with The Catalyst. Didn't felt it the first couple of times until I heard it play it live, holy shit, it sounded so good. It became one of my favorite songs to hear live during the ATS tour cycle.

So it's MTM/ATS all over again? This is it? Don't assume they're gonna do something really shitty just because you don't like the guest artist (wich is fine if you personally don't like it) but I wouldn't let my expectations go before time, in my opinion.

No more SA dates? I hoped for more suprises, like Colombia, Venezuela or even Ecuador, but sadly isn't the case. Now likely they will focus on all of those cancelled US shows, Asia, Africa (who knows) and Australia/New Zeland.

I don't remember 2008-2010 being as stressful as how it has been 2014-2016 to me. Like you said, we had a shit ton of material, new album, songs, demos, singles, live shows/audios, beside other things. I didn't live that era as much as I would've loved, I just discovered LP around 2004 after Collision Course came out, maybe a few months before the end of the Meteora World Tour, but yeah, seeing how many things happened between late 2004 to early 2007, that was a hell of a ride, specially the label dispute and the inminent musical change for MTM. Yeah, it has been a weird year to be honest. I don't mind waiting for the next album next year, but I would have loved some special show for the LPU, anything, but it didn't happened. Maybe they're actually taking this really seriously, wich is a good sign somehow.

This. And I even "hate" more this type of stuff seeing the Linkinpedia page and how many unreleased demos and songs they have and I'm sure they wouldn't waste so much time putting some bonus tracks on the CD or else, maybe Warner doesn't let them release it (?) I don't know, I don't think they're THAT lazy. I honestly don't felt it's taking too long, same with ATS, I was excited and by the end of 2010, I loved that album to this day. Not saying this is gonna be something similar, they said it's something we've never heard before so, I can expect anything.

As Astat said, you got it wrong. The one you're thinking of is more of an unfinished version of the final song from the album just before they released it as a single, while the demo has clearly different lyrics near the end. I think everyone knew that the moment we could be able to hear both, song and the "Medal of Honor" version, in 2010 lol

I hope I will. It's on thursday and I'll have to be at work the next day, so not sure if I will go or not. There's only the 2-3 day tickets out, I expect the 1 day ones to be out soon.

Gave it a listen. First impressions are kinda mixed. While I found interesting some of the 2014-2015 demos and how weird and creepy they sound (Dark Crystal and Air Force One), I expected more from other demos. I was suprised by the end of The Catalyst demo, interesting take, similar to Robot Boy's LPU11 demo as someone said above. Can't Hurt Me seems more like a late random demo from THP, nothing special for me. As always, when I hear an unreleased demo and Mike has completely different verses on it, I get excited, I get bumped, and I wasn't disappointed with BIO. I dig the original song, I dig this one too. I'll pass Consequence A/B cause there's not much to say, two instrumentals with a cool Hip-Hop beat on track B. VERY disappointed I was with LGM, I expected some cool verses or even vocals overall, but instead we get this. Shortened version of Space Station with Burberry, nothing new, next. Wow, this short demo got me hyped, expected to be longer but it was short, cool different version of The Catalyst, reminds me of The Radiance played live during 2010-2011. Overall it isn't in my top 3 (LPUX, LPU9 and LPU11) but hell as I'm sure it is better than LPU15.

Is it just me or the LPU back in the day wasn't as expensive as it is now (at least the more expensive memberships)? Aside from that, I dig the tracklist a lot, there's a bunch of ATS demos and that BIO demo.

Another exclusive? I don't think we've should have anything from their new album at this point. Hopefully some more unreleased instrumentals or demos, or better, shit like New Jersey 2004, that should be cool. PS: Let me see you nod ya head.

As Astat said, this could be easily a quick demo that Mike did before the album was released in march of that year. As far as the demo itself goes, not bad, nothing like how we've heard Meteora demos before made between 2001-2002. It's something that could perfectly fit somehow between FM-MTM era. I highly expected another vocal demo but I see Mike doesn't like that era that much in terms of vocals that he only releases instrumentals with the exception of Breaking the Habit from LPU XIV.

HURRY was better than this for sure. Guys, why you can't just release a demo featuring Chester's and Mike's vocals for the sake of our ears? Or I don't know, cooler and longer tracks maybe?

Not bad, I dig it. I think it's likely that Mike has some memory problems as Astat said haha, but who knows. That song or at least, the main idea, went through Hybrid Theory until the making of Meteora.

Song is ok/solid to me. No disrespect to Martin's music or Mike's decision of liking EDM more lately, but I miss collabs with artists such as Busta Rhymes or Handsome Boy Modeling School, not just Hip Hop but with different styles.

The file apparently is MPEG-4, commonly used for iTunes, right? And the number "3-06" on it. Likely an official release? I don't know.

I REALLY really liked HV on this, a new and refresh thing from Mike through FM, I can't say the same for LP, sadly.

Dammit, dead link.

+1 I thought the same, really NIN 90's style, better than some material from THP imho.
