LPFreak64

The new LP is WB's clones!!!! This is WB killing the real Mike Shinoda with gas!!! Oh noes!!!!

For more insight to each song, I went back and grabbed the 6-song sampler review to cross review each song. Link: http://lplive.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=4869 This is what I could guess from each review. Ana's #2 = Sampler's #5 Ana's #3 or #10 - Wretches and Kings = Sampler's #2 Ana's #4 = Sampler's #1 Ana's #6 = Sampler's #3 Ana's #12 - Iridescent or #13 - Fallout = Sampler's #4 Ana's #14 - The Catalyst = Sampler's #6 - The Catalyst This is all, IMO, so if you think otherwise, please point it out.

Thanks for the review. I can't wait for the new album!!!!

Review is here: http://lplive.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=5165

I was gonna try and condense all this new info into one post, but it is everywhere and there is no telling what is real and what is just somebody throwing in their two cents. We'll just have to wait for someone who went to the party to give us a written, good recap. I know AnaPHX and m03pchen were there so I'll be waiting for their reviews, not patiently.

Good news for fans in Newcastle. It'll be great once we finally start hearing info on US dates.

Thanks for the heads up! I didn't know there was a stream. Link? EDIT: NM, I found it. Only for Germans, though.

Ana, what time will you be at the listening party? When can we expect a review?

OMG....that is soooo funny. Chester and Brad rule!!! Also, here is a Youtube video of this:

I love the new pics so much, I put them in my signature!!!!

Those pics look amazing! I can't wait for this video!!!

I think I am in 2010, but I don't know about 2011 yet.....I'll have to check my schedule. It might be full of supporting 10 Years, MCR, and A7X. All joking aside, with their new direction, it'll be really hard to tell who would support them on tour outside of the US. If the CD leans more toward the rock heavy side, then it'll be more like the bands they have toured with in the past. However if over 75% of the new CD is SynthRock, then I have no clue who will tour with them in the US....maybe The Used? Julien-K again? Angels & Airwaves? The Offspring? (I have heard several people make references to the "New" LP sounding like The Offspring)

Ummm. I know your probably trying to be the fastest so you can get your news posted, but a link and some more info would probably be more helpful next time. http://mikeshinoda.com/2010/08/13/yo-gabba...sic-for-relief/ New Mike Blog post about MFR and HFH. Yo Gabba Gabba Makes a surprise visit too!!!

Good luck to you, Ana! Hopefully you'll get in there and be able to give us a good preview of the album from a LP fan.

This.

Holy triple post, Batman!!! EDIT: So I'm not spamming, great for LP!!! The better the rankings the better for the band.

I'm excited to see this. Hopefully this means a World Tour and US Tour would be Late January - Early March.

Also, that has got to be about the craziest pit I have ever seen for Papercut. That would have been fun to have been in!!!

That was pretty sweet of Chester to do that. It would have been easy to back yourself in a corner and cut yourself off from the rest of the world after something like being overseas on 9/11, but he was reaching out to other countries to come together and support each other and that is what makes it epic!!

Wow. Never saw that. Thanks. You made my day!!! Edit: New pic for 08/11 entitled "Taking Notes": http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash...6_3847053_n.jpg

Website Fret12.com is having a sort of contest where fans can ask three questions to their favorite guitarist and possibly have them answered in video response!!! Brad Delson is on the list as well as several other well known guitarists. The link is below. You have to scroll up a little to put in your information. Submit Your Questions Here What would you ask Brad? Discuss.

Here is another new pic put up today!!! http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc...0_8255464_n.jpg I hope they use the Hello Kitty guitar in the background in concert!!!

I like the app. Pretty sweet design.

Don't forget "Angry Birds"!!!

OK. Time for some words and that will be the last I say of it. While the CORRECT lyric "Will we burn inside the fires of a thousand suns?" might not be the deepest thing I have ever read, it is a whole lot deeper than "Everything you say to me sends me one step closer to the edge and I'm about to break". There is nothing to think about with that lyric. It is just all out on the table. Nothing to chew on. Linkin Park HAVE grown and evolved since HT and Meteora. And anyone who says they haven't just wants to start drama in an LP Fan Forum. That's great. And even if you can play acoustic guitar, it is already clear that you do not like "The Catalyst". For example, if I learned how to play "Fifteen" by Taylor Swift (A song I hate) on the guitar and played it to a Taylor Swift fan, they would love it. However, I would feel nothing because that is just not my kind of music. You don't feel any heart or soul from "The Catalyst" because you obviously do not like the song. The "walls of sound and noise" that you hate so much, is Linkin Park trying to experiment and branch out from the "Nu-Metal" tag that they have hated for so long. We are making fun of you because your making yourself look like someone who dropped out of school in the 2nd grade (maybe 1st). In order to make a valid argument and have people take you seriously, you need to spell check yourself so you at least look somewhat educated. However, we cannot force you to do this, so you decide on how you want us to see you as from now on. I'm not saying they weren't mature before, but stating that they are more mature now. "Breaking the Habit" is a very mature and deep song. So is "Pushing Me Away". "Emo" by definition, however, is "a style of rock music typically characterized by melodic musicianship and expressive, often confessional lyrics". You cannot make me believe that nearly all of Hybrid Theory and Meteora doesn't fall into the category. MTM was better in pulling away from that demographic and LP started talking about the world and not just them. And lot of people, myself included, view this as maturing. I probably will. Thanks for reading!
