Hey, guys! Welcome to the site. Always cool to see new people join around album cycles. Hopefully we get another clip today. I like what I've heard so far from the lyrics and piano videos. More excited for this than I was for The Hunting Party.
I remember being more excited for the "MALL" soundtrack than "The Hunting Party", before either one had dropped I was tentatively excited for this new album after the Theremini video on Facebook but I'm properly hyped now.
Ye, those times. This album cycle got me more excited than either of them though. Linkin Park is all that I'm listening to these last couple of weeks. First new album, then I will be seeing them live for the second time.
I've heard songs on the radio that are simple (in terms of songwriting) which I think are good, so I look forward to hearing what LP offer on that front. With help from the kind of writing muscle they've employed, they stand a chance of writing something that stands up to other good stuff that's charting today. Honestly, LP's lyrics and vocals don't often hit home for me the way they do for so many other fans. It's pretty much the main reason I don't hold any of their albums in especially high regard. That's a focal point for this album so I'm particularly anxious about being disappointed.
Welcome to the jungle! Welcome Daniel, hope you stick around! Hey what's up man welcome yeah it's very exciting to have new members and stuff a new LP album is coming and there's a lot of discussion around and the information goes so fast it's hard to keep up man there's a lot to say and no time for punctuation but that's cool man maybe punctuation keys are broken I don't know but stick around I am sure those dots and commas are on their way k thx bye
I'm more hyped for this album then I was for The Hunting Party before the first single. But when "Guilty" came out, it got me in a fucking frenzy. And then I started to dislike the song through April and May 2014, but when they started playing it live I realized how fucking amazing of a track it is and it got my hype through the fucking roof again. It's in my top 3 LP songs right now. Also, why isn't it just called "Guilty"? :/
"OUT OF REACH". New song confirmed. (0:12) It also was in this image, first in the left side (from April 16' in the studio):
From where was this taken? BTW the 2nd verse looks pretty long to be just a sung section. Rapping maybe?
I don't know. I like "One World" and "One Dream". Although I also like the album name "LIVING THINGS", not sure whats really wrong with it.
Yeah, I agree. I was very hyped for the Mall soundtrack and am pleased with what we got from it, however how little there was. I enjoy the melody based on the video. The lyrics don't exactly feel inspired. I think they should have tap into whatever they were feeling when they wrote the lyrics to Devils Drop, and Waiting for Tomorrow. Though, many people will probably disagree with the later.
I listened to this clip once, and it seemed alright. Not knowing what the instrumentals are like only gave me a vague idea of what to expect melody-wise, but who knows how the final product will actually turn out. The minimalist approach that LP has taken in regards to releasing information for the album is different, but a little frustrating. I can't be the only one who thinks that there's too much teasing going on in this album cycle, especially compared to the last few. The band can do what it wants when it comes to presenting information about a highly anticipated project, but being more direct with the fans and newcomers alike may help build more hype. That's the way I see it, anyway. Also, I did get somewhat of a "folksy" vibe from the way Chester was singing/rehearsing/improvising (not sure which, really), which of course reminded me of the Living Things era.
