Mike Gives Details Regarding ATS & Album Length

Best post I've read on LPA, Derek. I honestly didn't know fans were disappointed with Meteora, I wasn't a huge fan yet.

 

definitely! What I'm expecting from artists is to make good music mixing different styles, changing from album to album, and that's what LP do I can't wait to hear ATS, it's going to be legen- wait for it - dary!

 

Same way for me, I liked them before, although I only became a huge fan when I heard Breaking The Habit.

45-50 minutes is not short for an album, I still don't know what to expect from all of this.

 

I bet we get it hours before the trailer debuts, and not any earlier than that.

 

But Derek im pretty sure that mike meent that it would be around 50 minutes if you get the best buy version, and if you get the normal version it will be around 45
Anyway no matter what, it's there longest album

 

I defended it too in the second half of my post. I basically said the same thing .

For Meteora, I know that it's a HT duplicate but I personally don't care as much. Maybe it's because I'm still younger than a lot of people here. I like to think of HT being 24 songs of awesomeness. But I do NOT want part 3. I loved M2M and I love where ATS is going. Bring on The Catalyst!

 

I already pre ordered the album. i'm downloading a ZIP folder they sent it to me, probably the album ?

 

Listening to Meteora now, it makes me wonder why they even made that album. I like it too, but man, Somewhere I Belong is seriously the worst song they've ever recorded.

 

Megadeth have experimented, albeit briefly.

Honestly I can't imagine listening to the same album over and over for years on end, let alone writing the same one over and over again.

Megadeth & Slayer along with Metallica & Anthrax are the pioneers of Thrash Metal, they created that genre.
Now I'm not sure if by "genre-breaker" you're referring more to evolution over time, if so sorry. I just thought I point that out.

And I agree with pretty much everything you said in the res of that post.

I also loved Meteora when it came out. At that time though LP was pretty much the only band I was into (I was heavy into soccer & art), I had been getting to know Metallica for a few months prior and would come into contact with Tool just a few months later. As my interest in music strenghtened and my tastes broadened I like Meteora less and less for seeing other bands experiment with styles, structures & lyrical content. I stayed with LP though & MTM proved to me with that they could do more than one thing well.

 

You wish lol. Probably the first single they said they'd send, pre-release. Let us know.

Speaking of Meteora, you remember that piano driven song Rob was drumming to in the making of dvd? God, that was eargasmic!

 

Somwehre i belong is an amazing song dude !
and i KINDA blame Don Gilmore only on 2 songs (Faint & Figure 09)

 

Musically, it's interesting, but it's obvious they were trying to re-create an In the End. LP aren't really known for the lyrics on any of their songs, but Somewhere I Belong is about as bad as it gets, lyrically. Heal/Feel/Real? Really?

....really?

 

Sometimes it's not always about the lyrics. SIB can be a very beautiful song emotionally when the mood is right. It's ok for the Lyrics to be simple...they're straight to the point and personally I don't mind.
