Coming Soon - The Catalyst Contest Page

I downloaded the stems and here's my opinion on 'the catalyst' from what i've heard...

The keyboard part reminds me of 'Coldplay - Fix You'... Its ok... It maybe the intro...

Don't quite like the Electric Drums...

The Piano part is cool... I like it!

The Outro drums are killer... Rob's the man! I think i've heard a bit of those beats in
one of the LPUTV videos during the making of 'New Divide'...

Chester sounds good on the vocals but Mike's part is not at all sounding good... They must have given it effects just for the contest version... This maybe coz they don't want it sounding similar to the original... That's just my opinion, but i hope im right...

 

This has crossed my mind a couple times as well, but I'm not so sure of that. But they have definitely grown on me since the first listen. I really like them now. And like you said, it's possible they were made this way just for the contest. We also don't know how they are going to sound in the actual full track with all the other layers added. Just something think about.
