It's great that you were given this opportunity to get a sneak-peak of THP, Derek! Was this the first time you did this for any band? Hopefully the songs will sound better and will be thoroughly mixed on the actual release, as you said this was an unfinished sampler, right?
Derek just wondering, does Paige's vocals on All for Nothing add anything significant or impactful to the song like Rakim's verse on GATS or is it just like a complement to the song?
Derek, what does the rolling stone magazine mean by "A robotic yelling in the beginning of Keys to the kingdom"? Someone remember when everybody said victimized will be Lps most brutal song ever? Do you think that there is a song on the hunting party thats actually more brutal than victimized and qwerty? I guess war would be the track because it is giving me the feeling that its brutal And they said that The wastelands features drum and bass, i ask myself "DnB on a brutal album? " And they said something about a breakdown, is there actually a real breakdown like in deathcore i would shit my pants if so
On a serious note though, Derek,based on what you have hear and how you know the LPA members, will the LPA in general recover it as positive you think?
The LPA will never be pleased, actually nobody except for very few people like me, i think Living Things is their Best Album and i like the Videos to the Singles hahaha
I don't think it's fair to make a baseless assumption that the LPA will never be pleased. Obviously some albums will be regarded higher than other albums because that's how music goes. Just because a lot of the fan base on LPA did not enjoy living things doesn't meet they will never be pleased. If the band never pleased them they would not be on LPA. However with that being said, I agree with you that living Things is their best cd.
I'm not Derek, but yeah, there are members on here who don't like hard rock, and I honestly doubt those will enjoy the record. Now, as far as all others are concerned....Future will tell.
You do realize that people don't complain all the time. Usually they complain or voice their option, which they are allowed to have, on one certain matter. People who do complain 24/7 generally become unliked. Most people here voice their opinion on a certain subject matter. I mean we don't have to like everything the band has done ever
The members on here who love LP's softer more introspective side probably won't like the new music, no. But then again they've had months to prepare for this as the band has been stating it's an aggressive record.
I agree with this. All music is noise but not all noise is music, however all noise can be used as music
I have one final question Derek, from this: [video=youtube;824rsfor6FI]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=824rsfor6FI[/video] to this: [video=youtube;mGu8uGPenu4]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mGu8uGPenu4[/video], how heavy is Keys to the Kingdom?
