Hat Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 What I've heard has been dull as fuck. But hey, it had riffs and screams so it must be good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbgunn34 Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 Don't really get this tbh. You do realise that just because it's a b-side, that doesn't make it more likely to sound like previous b-sides than any a-side track? Pretty much was saying i want extra tracks on top of the album tracks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hopix Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 I'm actually baffled at the amount of people who like/love the latest LP album. I gave it a listen. It's pretty generic. I think many people are worshipping it simply because it follows a similar vein to their early career. The quality of the music itself comes secondary to this.

Alec Ferris Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 ...Is that some kind of sick, twisted joke?!?! Their new album is the best thing they've done since Hybrid Theory and Meteora! The fans are all rejoicing and finally got what they wanted. Chester's scream is back and the band worked the hardest they ever have on an album! The drummer had to take fitness classes and nearly got put into hospital he got worked so hard! Each to their own I guess...but I loved the hunting party and think it's possibly their best release yet. The riffs are stale, the songs are devoid of ideas and the performances really aren't that heavy or impressive. Bourdon's drumming doesn't come close to the most active I've heard from bands in that scene. Plus the shift itself is a cowardly one- if they'd built on the successful experiments from the last couple of albums (though there were certainly failures too) it'd be a much better album, but they've reverted to the extent that it sounds like demos for Hybrid Theory. For me the bottom line is that if you set it beside the best music from the music it draws from, it isn't anything like as challenging, inventive, exciting or emotionally involving. I feel a need to lay down some "I like heavy music credentials" so people don't start saying I couldn't take the br00tality. Worse than Minutes? Fuck off. I thought Minutes had some good points, and was more memorable for better and for worse. Though arguably THP was just more disappointing. Chevelle influence pls Muse They're already influenced by Tool and Deftones, so I'd say Chevelle influence is rather pointless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like you are speaking Chinese right now... I can't even fathom such comments! It was the most inventive guitar work they've ever had on one of their albums and...actually I can't even be bothered debating this. It's probably their best yet anyways and how someone could find such an explosive album boring is beyond me! The people they featured on the album was also a great touch. The heavy Darren Malakian track was amazing. Coming back to muse... Will Muse feature anyone on album 7? They really should! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LewisF Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 Will Muse feature anyone on album 7? They really should! Depends who it would be I suppose. If Tom Morello made a guest appearance doing a solo or someone/something along those lines, I'd be fine with that, but too many artists nowadays have too many "featuring *insert artist*" songs on their albums.

PlugInYorkie Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 and... It's not inventive at all! I disagree. Inventive for Linkin Park is what I meant...they haven't had guitar work like on THP before. It was a breath of fresh air and a step in the right direction.

PlugInYorkie Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 After the rubbish him and linkin park made together he can stay well away thanks! Agreed. I was really excited when I heard he was going to be on the Linkin Park album...then I heard the song and I was immediately disappointed. Maybe he should stay away based on that effort!

It's probably their best yet anyways and how someone could find such an explosive album boring is beyond me! The people they featured on the album was also a great touch. The heavy Darren Malakian track was amazing. Do me a favour, and look up songs off Jane Doe by Converge, Relationship of Command by At the Drive-In, In On The Kill Taker by Fugazi for starters. Then you'll see what I mean by The Hunting Party not being that powerful or interesting in comparison. It borrows liberally from thrash and post-hardcore bands, which other acts have been doing for decades. The track with Malakian was like a System b-side. Actually, I've heard some System b-sides, and they were better- it lacks the fire and/or weird edge which characterises System's best material. As for Morello, I've never heard such a pathetic waste of a guest. Agreed. I was really excited when I heard he was going to be on the Linkin Park album...then I heard the song and I was immediately disappointed. Maybe he should stay away based on that effort! If Muse actually have him do something other than go-nowhere noodling, it'll probably be good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And he could make something really good with Muse, I'm sure they could create something amazing. I'd also love to see Jack White do a solo possibly, although blues may not really suit heavy rock.
