Jack, Thanks for that. I didn't even know about that one quote until now describing BRUISER for what it is. *EDIT* I just saw that post in the Dell announcement thread. After LT leaked, I shyed away from the boards on here until the official release, which is why I didn't read that. */EDIT* It was my understanding about what I wrote earlier. If I was misinformed, I was misinformed. Not like I made it up... I wish I remembered where I read what I wrote earlier... *EDIT* This is where I saw it: http://www.lpassociation.com/forums/showthread.php?t=37024 */EDIT* Haha! Thanks.
I actually loved The Messenger and feel its the perfect ending to that album. I don't think Powerless would fit at all.
Maybe and maybe not, Just the way the albums were made and the songs chosen just are perfect and fit that way , but good point you have .
LT makes all 4 albums come together. Powerless has only the ATS-style. But my opinion is that LT is something different to the other 4 and perfect the way it ist (the best album of LP yet)
I feel like Powerless would have fit on any of LP's previous albums except for Hybrid Theory with only minor alterations. It definitely feels like a hybrid of Meteora/MTM/ATS to me. I would have liked it to close A Thousand Suns more than I like The Messenger closing but A Thousand Suns is my second-favorite album of all time so I can't really complain.
