BECAUSE ITS NOT HYBRID THEORY

 

Yep, A Thousand Suns is awesome. Have loved it since it came out.

 

I remember the conversation on AP.net in the lead up not being particularly positive, lol, but it does feel like the conversation around it has largely changed for the better. Personally, I was excited from the moment "The Catalyst" was released. "Waiting for the End" & "When They Come for Me" are both top tier LP tracks.

 

The Catalyst is awesome, one of my favorite LP singles

 

i still loathe that album lol

 

I think Chorus needs a dislike button for moments like these ;)

 

needs a like, dislike, and "i agree with half and disagree with half but its ambiguous which is which."

 

i'm hopin it's a live album/dvd from his recent solo tour.
he's mashed lp beats/riffs to his solo lyrics and it sounds quite good.

 

1. A Thousand Suns is far and away LP's best album and I doubt they could ever find a way to top it. It's the perfect mix of just being experimental enough to stand out and warrant discussion but also accessible enough to be commercially viable. The fact that a band with the fame and reputation of Linkin Park put out that album will never cease to astound me. Plus it's a great listen when you're tripping.

2. New Mike song is pretty damn good.

 

I remember some pre-release review of A Thousand Suns said it could be the Kid A/Dark Side of the Moon of our generation, but it will most likely never be taken that seriously just because it’s Linkin Park.

 

I always just thought of Kid A as our generation's Kid A but wow it was a decade before ATS

 

I think my three favs are still Minutes to Midnight, Reanimation, & The Hunting Party, but A Thousand Suns always dances around that tier. Comparing it to Kid A is majorly overdoing it, though, lol; it's not that big a swing.

 

I've never listened to Reanimation. Dumb me

 

I used to jam that album all the time, and it actually holds up pretty well

 

I like Reanimation more than Hybrid Theory don't hate me

 

Don't feel weird ya'll! My top 3 are

1. Meteora
2. A Thousand Suns
3. Reanimation

 

There are only 2 or 3 songs where I prefer the original to the "reanimated" version. It sometimes doesn't even feel like a remix album with how much the band rewrote their own songs. It pretty easily sits in my top 3 behind ATS and MTM

 

ATS is my favorite LP album

 

this whole post is good takes! and yes, I think Reanimation sits in a pretty unique spot between studio album and remix album, it's not fully one or the other

 

So they just released lpu 19 today

 

what's on it? more demos I assume?

 

I don't think there's any music included that I can tell? Seems like it's just a merch bundle.

 

No music. Just a merch bundle

 

ahhhhh ok

 

There hasn’t been new music or demos on a cd since Lpu 16
