Is the iTunes radio stream not up yet for other countries? People check and post links when they go live
Nope not yet :/ I was about to listen to the leak but I would much rather listen to the stream. I am giving it a half hour.
Listened again, same impression as the first listen. Don't like it and found my finger hovering over the skip button. I respect what they tried to do here and many of you will like it. I guess I like the poppier, catchier side of Linkin Park. This is in your face and harsh. Still an LP fan, but this was a swing and a miss for me. Possibly my least favorite album by them at this point.
The album makes a lot more sense when you listen to the songs in order, similar to ATS. I do wish there were some more "poppier" stuff like in LT, but this is definitely different. It'll grow on me for sure.
Give it time . I disliked a lot of ATS on my first few listens. Even first month. That's saying something considering it's my favorite album
Love it! Definitely gives me the same feeling I had after listening to A Thousand Suns for the first time instead of the disappointment that was Living Things. My favorite track by far is Mark the Graves; I can't stop listening it! It's basically the 2nd half of Blackout from ATS, but extended and metal'd up
I can understand if some people dislike this. It's vastly different from what they've done before this and it is a bit harsh and heavy. The production even on the HQ stream is more rugged than what we're used to from them. But there's a very good sense of maturity here. I hope they keep this direction, rock fits them much better than electronic music.
Listening to it on my iphone now. My speakers keep dropping the volume randomly. And yeah, I used to hate ATS the first listen through. Also my favorite album. Worth multiple listen throughs.
Well I'm stuck at work so no listen for 6 hours. Not sure I'll listen to it on iTunes radio. I hate the breaks where they tell you the fucking obvious. You're listening to blah blah blah. Well no shit Sherlock!
