Mark the Graves is probably my favourite LP song and thank you for comment (before and after editing: "It really makes the whole thingy [album] drags"). I agree with you. This is such an underrated song.
So based on a streaming website's credits, we have the official writing credits for OML: Nobody Can Save Me - Chester, Mike, Brad, Dave, Rob, Joe, Jonathan Green Good Goodbye - Chester, Mike, Brad, Dave, Rob, Joe, Jesse Shatkin, Pusha T, Stormzy Talking to Myself - Mike, Brad, Ilsey Juber, JR Rotem Battle Symphony - Chester, Mike, Brad, Dave, Rob, Joe, Jonathan Green Invisible - Mike, Justin Parker Heavy - Chester, Brad, Mike, Julia Michaels, Justin Tranter Sorry for Now - Mike, Brad, Blackbear, Andrew Goldstein Halfway Right - Chester, Mike, Michael Keenan Leary, Ross Golan One More Light - Mike, Francis White Sharp Edges - Mike, Brad, Ilsey Juber
Strange correlation here, but for me it seems that Chester's songwriting is kind of a song-ruiner I wonder if that pattern will continue with the rest of the album.
It's kind of fun if you have some spare time to look at the Wikipedia pages for some of the writers and producers on this album. I found that Jesse Shatkin who wrote on Good Goodbye and I believe co-produced Invisible (maybe? Might be Sorry For Now) also co-wrote and co-produced on my other favorite band, Tegan and Sara's newest album. Coincidentally they also recently made a major switch to pop music from guitar-heavy indie.
They're mainstream pop writers, except maybe Keenan Leary who produce & co-write for Melanie Martinez, more Alternative/Indie pop and btw she's great and her album Cry Baby is fantastic
I heard! I remember Melanie Martinez from The Voice . Interesting to see what the other songwriters' inputs are to OML.
Speaking of great Mike vocals, I wonder when Martin Garrix will release this song. It's been a few years :/ Yes
I just received a email from Ticketmaster saying that I get a album (cd or digital) with my ticket? To my knowledge I got a normal (not any of the experience tickets) for the Toronto show during the presale. Anyone else get one of these emails?
I like that "Minutes To Midnight" simply had a B-side for a bonus track. We haven't had one of those from the band since then
Yeah, I did. I think it said anyone that buys tickets gets the album. I already pre-ordered the album during the presale so I could move up in line (but turns out that didn't even matter), so I guess those that did that can get 2 copies of the album? I don't need another copy, so I probably won't bother.
It seems the guy exaggerated a bit because although Chester did say those words I think they came out harsher than it was intended. Yes, HT came out like 17 years ago and there are so many people who want that sound and have been whining for months, it's all over facebook and youtube. When you constantly read sth like that it must go on your nerves. Was I offended a it when they released that studio practice video with 'here's your HT, kids!'? Yes, at first but quickly came to my senses and realized how stupid it was.
I mean I can understand it feeling like that given we're in the midst of the Trump presidency, but it's only been one year.
I guess he dont know LP "fans". While i agree with him i know people shitting all the time about LP when the topic comes up.
I think I'm more generous and open to LP's drastic changes in music because I hopped on the LP bandwagon and had my angsty LP phase with A Thousand Suns. A lot of my friends were fans during HT/Meteora when we were in grade school. I wonder how things would've been differently had I started in their nu metal days.
