So I've had the new album on repeat yesterday and must say IT IS PHENOMENAL. Just so freaking good, I know they always say "we're trying something new" but they really did, it's such a diverse album it's hard to describe. There's even a song with Brad (guitarist) singing. Ahhh I loved MTM and ATS but but this both of the last albums out of the water.
Do yourself a favor and get this album AS SOON AS IT COMES OUT, you won't regret it.

I just received the new album in the mail yesterday, love it!

Also had a few very Linkin Park ish weeks, went to two festivals and met them through a radio contest and the LPU at another show.
Their live show was so good as usual
I also made LP rubic cubes with my NickyToons instead of the colors. It was funny how they remembered them!

[Speedynek]

I saw them 2 weeks ago and show was just epic! Their sound and visual things were really great!

I listened to their latest album 2 times in a row and it isnt big fail as ATS and I love "Victimized"! They should make more songs like Victimized! Its just my opinion!

I liked MTM and loved ATS but I feel like this album took the best of both added something new and made something 10x bette rthan both

Ive been a LP fan for about 12 years more or less
I was in high school when they first release their demo online and they were not even signed back then
I followed them ever since, helped building their official site and community in Israel and last year we finally brought them for a show
(Ive seen them before in 2007 in Germany)

But I gotta tell you... I really don't like the new album.
I feel like they have changed so much as artists and it has been a rollercoaster with them and their music, even when the last album came out it took some time but most of the songs grew on me, but this album is so different than everything that I used to love about them... I'm really disappointed...

[NickyToons]

I know their style kinda changed with every album lately. With MTM and ATS I had to get used to most of the songs, this time I don't. I really like this album. Maybe not every song, but I have that with most albums. Like the Messenger and Robot boy.. I always skip those.

Many LP "fans" keep complaining about their albums, I know they changed, but I also know they can't please everyone. If they would have made 5 albums exactly the same like Hybrid Theory, people would complain to. So I guess they can't satisfy everyone.

[Nicky_Angel]

they need to do what they love, and if this is what they love good for them, but it does not mean that I need to like it.
Of course I don't want 5 albums to be the same, although there are a lot of bands (such as Sevendust and Deftones) that change and grow from one album to the other but still keep to the same style.

I love them, I will always love them, but the last cd in my mind is not that great, it might grow on me, but I feel they drifted too far from what made me fall inlove with them in the first place thats it a bit hard for me

Thoughts on "The Hunting Party"?

[sum1special]

I am a big fan of the Hunting Party, especially since my favorite LP album is Minutes to Midnight, so I'm glad that they were willing to be more organic sounding when it came to instrumentation this album cycle. But my problem is when I listen to it, especially because of the way they've been promoting it, it feels more forced than any of their previous albums.
