AUDIO: LIES GREED MISERY MP3 + FLAC

You joined here just to bash them and threaten to leave if the next album wasn't up to your standards.

Yeah, that's sure sticking by them, alright. Instead of trying to enjoy a single thing they put out, I'm willing to bet your mind just says it's shit because it's different, and not "Hybrid Theory". You haven't gotten over their style shift, thus creating a mental block preventing you from enjoying both M2M or ATS--- it's either that, or you were just in it for rap/rock, HT style. You're entitled to your opinion, of course, as I am entitled for mine, and my opinion is that I find this ridiculous.

Try revisit Minutes and A Thousand Suns, and chuck HT and Meteora out of the window as you do. Listen to it with fresh ears. Listen to it without comparing it to what came before.

 

Basically what I want to say to every person that listens to their new stuff and goes "Man they've done a lot better in the past"

Makes me want to rage


Well said Derek. Bravo.

 

No seriously, this is the truth. I had a hard time accepting A Thousand Suns actually, I didn't know what to think of it at first. When The Catalyst came out, I was really thinking 'what is this shit?'. But I sat down, and listened to it for days until I found something I liked. And well, the more I listened to it, the more I liked it.

Now, ATS is my favorite LP album, go figure. They really pushed me in a way to evolve with them. And because of that, my music taste evolved too. I'm not that guy anymore who just listens to rock and hip-hop. I now listen to Industrial, Electronic, ambient, experimental and a bunch of other crazy stuff. And that's why I still love LP, they helped me evolve along with them.

You don't have to like every song they put out but at least have respect for what they're doing.

 

Clearly u havnt read my previous posts thoroughly...

 

Clearly, you haven't read ours.

 

I think that the "Nu-metal" lovers don't know what they want. It's that group of "fans" that is always complaining about how the new songs sound.

For me, Linkin Park is like a road untraveled (get it? ). Like Derek said so well, you never know what to expect from them and that's why it's so freakin awesome to hear a new LP song every single time.

@wut/has/happen/2/lp: I really don't know what you're doing on a LP fansite. If you don't like the new LP, why are you wasting your time here?

 

Oh , great ! Thank you Derek .

 

thank you guys all for that high quality song

 

Totally agree with you, Derek

 

Derek is awesome for that , and it's all true.

 

thank you sooo much for this. Joe, you are awesome!

 

Anyone else wanting an anime video with this song like they did for breaking the habit? Wont happen, but how awesome would that be?

 

I suppose so .

 

I'd like to wish you well
But you just cannot spell
My opinion of you fell
And now I'm like, "No way"

You know I really do wish
Meteora fans weren't like this
But your word is dismissed
I could rebuke you all day

Your word's invalid, "more raps, fuck the ballads"
The band has you feelin' abandoned
Are you still denying change daily?

Hey, I just met you
And this is crazy
Nu-metal's over
So grow up maybe

It's hard for you, right?
Little baby
Expand your worldview
And you'll learn, maybe

Nu-metal is all dead
I know it's crazy
Your wish for "old skool"
Is quite vocal lately

You ask for substance
Which is crazy
'cause you like Meteora
Hypocrite, maybe?

You're fine with HT 2
You only want metal that's nu
Change is hard for you
But still you complain all day

You say you personally relate
To LP songs from that date
That's because the lyrics were vague
But still you feel that way

Boring powerchords, bland lyrics, structure's boring
Corporate success story
You still think Meteora's crazy?

Hey, I just met you
And this is crazy
You say you want change
But want HT3

It's hard for you, right?
Little baby
This experimental
Phase of LP

You want the vagueness
Lyrics are lazy
I heal feel real now
THOSE LYRICS ARE CRAZY

You think MTM is bland
And corporate playing
But it was a new sound for THEM
That's all I'm saying

When they were rap/rock
You were so glad
You were so glad
You were so so so glad

Now they want to explore
And you are so mad
You are so mad
You are so so so mad

"it didn't matterwut
they put out"
But you're still complaining
So what's that about?

"they seem to be more concerned
about what will sell
as opposed to what's different"
WHAT THE HELL?!

Changing doesn't sell
Just believe me
Just look at Gold Cobra
AND YOU WANT HT3

You say you want cutting edge
But say ATS is so bad
You say it's so bad
You say it's so so so bad

Your arguments are shite
They are so bad
And you should know that

So grow up maybe

 

So...how long did that take for you to think of? lols

 

I played it for the boys at the office, first thing they said was "Katy Perry". First thing that came to mind when they said that was "Katy Perry - E.T. (Futuristic Lover)" sure it's 2 different artist but the similarity is definitely there between those 2 tracks. I can see where people would say it's pop / mainstream. I personally don't think Burn It Down shares that same atmosphere but this song for sure.

As for Chester and his screaming? It's "meh", it's like the screaming finally happened just not to the melody many were hoping for? But that's just my 2 cents. Call me crazy but I think I would've been happy if it was Mike did this track by himself. Compared to ATS, as someone pointed in the BBC thread, I think we were spoiled.


Finally, lossless didn't make it any justice as I had predicted. It just sounds like background music you'd hear on the radio, it doesn't stand out or stick out for much of the matter, then again it is just a short song.

Still hoping for the rest of the album to pull through.

 

In that span of the last 25 seconds or so, Chester screams more than in any other Linkin Park material for that same amount of time, and the song goes into crazy berserk heavy land. And some people have the nerve to call it "pop"...
