    The LIVING THINGS Leak

    in Newswire

    Posted

    At first I thought it was Spanish. But now I think it's either German or Russian... It could be something totally different. I wanna know what it says and who is saying it. It's driving me insane! It's probably something awesome.

    no way it would be spanish! i'm from south america and i can't even manage to get what is it. XD so i could assure it's neither spanish neither portuguese.

    I liked a lot the album, but i disagree with someone, i don't think listening the album from beginning to end adds something to the experience or anything, i mean, there are barely some loose links between songs, the only two that are really meant to be heard one after the other is tinfoil and powerless, wich is pretty obvious.

    I'm using my friend's account to listen to it. I really wish I had it in my iTunes though.

     

    well, you can just make it yourself... just pick the same songs from DSP and add a fade-in and fade-out effect in each song, it isn't that hard, isn't it?

    Maybe because it's "just" an european tour? We might get that cover in the LT world tour i think. Hopefully with the merch booth cause there is nothing atm :|

     

    RiP @ usual place:)

    maybe but the asian leg of ATS 2011 tour didn't had cover either. that's why I pointed it out :P

    LIVING THINGS Release Day Challenge

    "Living Things leak" search on Twitter is bookmarked on my computer, but I guess I shouldn't listen to the album if it leaks because Mike wants it to be special?

     

    Helllllll no.

     

    I'll tell you what's special to me:

     

    Being a fan of a band I enjoy so much that I ended up finding and loving this site. A site I care so much about that I texted Mark at 3 AM a few months back just to make sure we'd break the info about the Linkubus tour before anyone else.

     

    Winning a ticket to the LP show in NYC through THIS SITE, I don't want to get emotional here, but I'm sure some of you remember the circumstances, and if not you can look it up.

     

    Skipping lunch to get Minutes to Midnight from Target the day it came out and annoying the crap out of the employees there to make sure it had the presale code so I could see LP for the first time in concert.

     

    Being so nervous at 9:59 AM the day tickets go on sale, refreshing constantly, so I can spend a couple paycheck's worth on seeing Linkin Park play for 90 minutes.

     

    Checking my phone constantly during dinner to see if Linkin Park has played "Tinfoil", a song I've never heard, in a concert halfway across the world.

     

    I'm far from the most dedicated Linkin Park fan. A lot of you on here are better fans than me, and I have no problem admitting that. What I will say is that this band means a lot to me. It means a lot to us in a lot of different ways. I've heard a lot of people say that "Hybrid Theory" helped them through a tough time. I was in middle school when it came out, loved it, and yet had a lot of trouble relating to it. "Crawling in my skin, these wounds they will not heal" yeah, I'd sing along to it but was like, "odd lyrics." On the other end of the spectrum, I don't think ATS is the masterpiece a lot of hardcore LP fans think it is, but yet I still really enjoy it, and it's the CD sitting in my car right now, and definitely the CD that got my girlfriend into Linkin Park. If that album doesn't come out, she's probably not driving alone 3 hours to Philly to meet me for the concert (I'm going early for the Summit).

     

    I find it difficult for someone, even Mike, to say what's special for one person and not another. To me Linkin Park is so special that I want to hear that new album now. If it does leak, I do plan on listening to it in the right order, as Mike has suggested with previous albums. But the thing is, as Mike pointed out, times change. Albums are available for listening before they come out in retail stores, be it on Spotify, MySpace streaming, or leaks. I wouldn't say this is necessarily a bad thing. What Mike didn't address is that a lot of times, this can open up a band to a wider audience. I understand Mike's frustration towards not having full ownership regarding the music he created. In fact, I can't even say that because I've never been in his situation. But what I can say is that to me, this band is so special that waiting for their next album can be agony. I love Linkin Park, and I love sharing how much I care about the band. When the album leaks, I will play it for my friends, and it will be special, regardless of whether it happens on June 16 or June 26, or whenever. I've purchased every Linkin Park album and will be purchasing Living Things on Day 1. I admire those of you who have preorderd the album twice and are still willing to wait until release day to listen to it. I applaud those of you who are dedicated enough to follow Mike's note and actually have these listening parties on release day.

     

    I respect and admire Mike Shinoda. I find the guy truly inspirational, and I don't think he is wrong about this issue. But the notion of listening to the album before it comes out being an experience that isn't "special", that's ridiculous to me.

    If Mike read this forum per any chance... I just have to say C-C-C-COMBO BREAKER!

     

    completely agreed on this. music isn't special just because a date, it's because the emotions it brings, it's about sharing with others, it's about a freaking catharsis with what you're hearing... because it belong as part of you too.
