I gotta give LP kudos for having the grapes to release this kind of content as their album selling single. This song has the energy of an A.06, Given Up, and a latter track from Reanimation. Rise Against, Sum41, and Metallica all come to mind. The track that fans, skeptics, and potentially the haters, never knew they wanted. This makes me wonder if Mike & Joe will sit in the back this time around, with guests rotating shotgun.
This really just sounds like an LPU demo, like someone said here earlier. Sorry guys, not really feeling this one. And I blasted it on studio speakers and a sub woofer. All I get is just "meh."
I can promise you guys that this is the final song. The band wouldn't release an unmastered demo as a single. This raw production is what the band was going for with the album. Simply put. Expect the entire album to be this raw. And the band didn't use any other producers on this. As Mike just confirmed in an interview, this is entirely self produced.
The raw sound will definitely work with Linkin Park. I don't think every band can pull it off and it'll be different at first, but this song has deterred any doubts I had about a "raw" mastering.
this song would be even better with heavier vox from chester, yeah. I feel like the music is begging for chester to scream.
I loved BURN IT DOWN and LIVING THINGS, I really did, really great stuff, but this as a follow up is just nuisdnvibsdbvsdbiv. FUCKING RAW!!!! Definitely can't wait to get this in higher quality!!! Now to just survive the bitching that will come from the LPA once the song has sunk in....
I just start to feel the song definetlynot a demo is even more elaborated than some ATS songs I have realized that the part that dislikes me is rakims rap i definetly had voted for mike instead
For those who think that's Mike on the bridge, I can confirm that it is in fact him! [thumb]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v190/uncle_raj/MIKEISBLACK.jpg[/thumb]
I heard some Joe Hahn parts. There is a synth that sounds like the crawling synth in crawling's prechorus. Also heard other little tweaks here and there. He's def present it's just buried a little under the rest
1. Disappointed Mike changed his stance on guests on studio albums. 2. It's fucking Rakim, how am I to stay upset? Legendary, man! 3. Song sounds like an A7X song, if A7X were good. So, pretty awesome.
I share your sentiments here :/ Apart from iPhone and Android phone users, rest including the non-mobile enthusiasts don't exist *sigh* Hope they release it on the net soon
