Mike Responds To Fans Questions About The New Album

and it needs to be at least 17 minutes long.

 

And it must have extended solo sections. And the album must have some strange concept that doesn't actually make sense to anyone other than the band members.

 

I hope that the new album will be more like Hybrid Theory and Meteora. Each argue that I read can`t make me think that HT and Meteora represent the true LP band.

 

also Mike and Chaz should sing/rap in elven!

 

Apparently you haven't heard the Leave Out All The Rest demo yet

 

Agree for both

 

to tell you the truth guys,i cant stand another MTM album..that alternative sound doesnt represent LP at all.there are so many bands out there that can create an alternative record so much better than LP(see Muse)..my only hope is that we ll get an album based on the experimental sound of Reanimation..they need to create again this fusion of different styles with a new way and paralyze us again like they did when we heard HT for the first time.

 

I agree with you Derek. LP are capable of creating a beast of an album as long as they are free from labels people put on them and stuff. MTM was an attempt to try and prove to the label and fans that they survived even though numetal was dead, so they decided that it was better for them to move into an alternative sound and still have success. LP are on the way to becoming legends but with MTM they seemed like bad U2 wannabes. Anyway I still believe in them and I hope that this record will showcase to the critics, labels and fans the true talent the boys have...and im sure you all know they DO have great talent when it comes to music.

 

Exactly! that's what LP should hear. Alot of my friends that even don't listen to Rock music and LP when i told them back in 2007 how i was little bit disappointed about M2M they was like" owww relax every band & artist in the world does that thing ... changing their style in music to feel the new style and then they go back to their origins again". but clearly LP doesn't wanna go back ... they just want to discover something even newer.

Thank you Darek. You are right there was nothing so special & unique about it.

 

I'm very excited to hear the new album from them. I know that whatever they do, I'm still gonna love it, haha. But it's going to be awesome to hear the new sound that they're coming out with.

 

maaan i never typed ur name in the right form, dunno why lol

 

The next album doesn't need to be prog just that it needs MORE of everything. It needs more raps. Needs more hard driving guitar riffs. Needs alot more Mr. Hahn and electronic elements. Needs more beats that you find yourself hearing in your head hours later. Needs more songs at a higher tempo than the last album. Needs more song structures than V-C-V-C-B-C. Needs more songs that don't sound like they were written around Chester's vocals (hopefully out of ashes took care of that tendency for Chester). Needs more lyrics that don't sound like a whiny teenager wrote them.

If that ends up sounding in a somewhat progressive direction, that'd be awesome.

 

I hope it's more like Mikes remixes cost, dammit he's good at that shit.

 

I am confident that, if nothing else, they're past the point where they'll make an album that's as similar to the previous one as Meteora was to HT. I don't mind much what they do as long as they don't do that and as long as I can enjoy it for whatever it is.

 

Yup, though the thing is there where starting to do that again on MTM (Vday, TLTGYA etc.) so hopefully the'll follow suit. and like you said about Reanimation, it was probably their most creative effort.

I listened to Rem recently and I seriously forgot how damn good it was.
