Never thought that I could say something like this about anything LP did, but... this whole Album is just bullshit! The only track that doesn't sound like crap is "I'll Be Gone". Just my opinion...
Probably love the Castle of Glass remix the most right now. That 8-bit style synth in the verses is just hot.
Thafuck did I just listen?! Too much *badumptbadumpt*. And I never expected to hear a salsa version of Linkin Park (Rick Rubin Reboot)… I'm still confused
I wasn't expecting much of it and it has surprised me as well. I actually enjoyed it as well.. Salsa? There are indeed some caribbean-like elements on the track but you're exaggerating when saying it's salsa. Nowhere near that.
That's kinda normal for the hardstyle genre though (which is what that remix is). It's meant to pretty much rape yo' face with bass and drums. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hardstyle
What I was going to say. I'm still shocked Mike made something from this genre actually. That's one of the things I least expected from LP...along with other things. Next, Polka and Tango remix?
Mike's really been into EDM lately. Yeah a studio album from the band (non-remix) would never be straight up EDM, but I wouldn't be surprised if some unexpected influences make their way onto the next album.
The two I'll Be Gone remixes are pretty good along with the second Until It Breaks remix and Mike's remix of COG.
I'm trying not to listen to this album until tomorrow cause I should be studying (then why am I here reading this thread ._.) but I have to say that it seems pretty interesting. I'm especially looking forward to hearing the hardstyle Victimized, haha.
This albums a mix of Dubstep, hip hop and dance, I guess there will be conflicting views from people, which is fine of course. I however really like the album, minus Burn It Down, major hate for that seeing as it was overplayed I love how it makes the songs feel "recharged" in the sense that the songs have way more energy.
Oh damn! I am loving this so far! This is just what I needed to fill up my LP needs. Re envisioned versions of amazing tracks! I kinda wish Chester had additional vocals on this too though. Nonetheless, another sick Linkin Park album like always! They don't disappoint
Finally listened to the whole album, not my style, but I'll say I did enjoy it more than I thought I would! Good stuff.
