I'm guessing they have everything picked out for the album and chose to finalize the rest of it in a new setting.
I like how everything about the album seems very spontaneous and in the moment. It's something the last two albums lacked. - I think "It Goes Through" had potential to be a hit, if it was an album track and felt more... ready.
I'm still disappointed that the version we hear in the "MALL" trailer was just an edit rather than the main v. of the song
I just hope the mixing in this record would be the same quality as MTM and ATS. LT & THP were horrible in terms of mixing.
This is why I'm so excited for another LP album. I feel like everything we've heard from the band over the past few years outside of the two studio albums, which were chasing a very particular sound, has been stellar. To put it another way, I prefer the band's softer side, and while I enjoy LT and THP, I'm much more excited by the thought of an LP album dominated by Mike's lo-fi, chill beats, acoustic instruments, and soulful singing. From the MALL soundtrack, to the acoustic version of FM, to Welcome, I know that they'd be more than able to create a great album around that style, but it just so happens to be that neither of the last two albums were suitable to utilise that type of sound on.
omg he is the one who also mixed Fall out boys Infinity on High. the sound there is also..raw and good.
Oh? Nothing big, but just nice to hear after the last two albums not having these sorts of vibes at all.
"Linkin Park Writing 'Delicious' Concept Album To Follow The Hunting Party' "Linkin Park's Shinoda Had 'An Epiphany,' Now Wants 'Serious Egg Vibes' In The Studio" "Linkin Park's Mike Shinoda Talks 'Poached', 'Runny' New Album" "Linkin Park On Putting Their Eggs In One Basket" "Chester Bennington Says New Linkin Park Record 'Keeps Breakfast Alive' Linkin Park Members Named Suspects In Pokémon Breeding & Abuse Scandal"
At first I instantly thought of Pokémon, but then I realized this looks like a Yoshi egg, indeed. Why should it even be anything Pokémon related? (I don't know much about that, though...)
Man, LP should stop designing tshirts and start to design race car liveries instead. I mean, that fucking GT3 Benz looks fucking hot!!
