I just bought the CD, from an actual store! The first I bought since A Thousand Suns!! I am now starting the countdown. Listening to Hybrid Theory, Meteora, Minutes to Midnight, New Divide, A Thousand Suns. Which clocks just under 3 hours. Should give me the chance to listen to this twice. And then boom! LIVING THINGS! here we come!! Excited much!?
What've you guys done or what're you planning to do to make your first listen-through something special? I know some of you will be joining Shinoda on Twitter - anyone getting up to anything else?
I'm just going to be here in my room, maybe with something nice to drink and pizza. And as I said listened through to all the previous LP albums back to back
Does the album booklet come with lyrics? Cuz then i will be sitting in my room, listening to the CD and reading along with the lyrics.
I am getting so pumped!! First I was like Whoa! Hybrid Theory is more amazing than I remember!! Then I was like Whoa! Meteora is more amazing than I remember! And now I'm like Whoa! Minutes To Midnight is more amazing than I remember... Next up... A Thousand Suns. And I know how amazing that album is!!
I had to go out so I wasn't there on the Listening Party on Twitter until POWERLESS, but I did listen to the album at midnight last night, nothing pompous, just me, my computer and my headphones, nothing less, but it was damn special as I was extremely focused on the music. I had only listened to BURN IT DOWN and LIES GREED MISERY until today. Great album.
since my country only sold it in the 27th (the others pre-ordered so maybe they got it in the 26th, idk), i wasn't able to attend the Listening Party as well. i held out and took the challenge until i got my hands on the album which i bought in the 27th and listened to it by myself. lol
