   Mmmh From The Inside looks way different to what my childhood remembers.
   Papercut is exactly like i remember tho, how peculiar.

   There is a reason why Fort Minor was made, but they took all that was cool from linking park when it happened, Bleed It Out was probably about the last things i could enjoy from them, even if they got more political with more on-point lyrics they also sound so damn soft, is almost like listening to pop, Given Up was a good try but meh.

   Mmm, Papercut left some lasting impressions! In The End was cool and all, with the whales in the sky and spreading greenery... but I think that Papercut video gave me nightmares back then. :P Easy to remember.

   How about their new album? That collab with Rakim? Yeah it feels like they lost their aggression somewhere after feeling Numb and Fainting and finding Somewhere They Belong... guess fame has a way of lifting your hopes. :P

   Man i loved Papercut, it was something of an obsession, didn't really have nightmares with it, i was enticed with all its weirdness, it seemed cool to me, Boiler by Limp Bizkit, that one did gave me nightmares, man did that song got me good, and Beautiful People by Marilyn Manson, that was another one that got me awake at night, oh it took me years before i was able to watch the video without closing my eyes XD, but not Papercut.

   Rakim is a legend and thus he didn't disappointed, but that's Rakim for you, he appears and he saves it, the guy was more LP than LP themselves, definitively better than: We Made It with Busta Rhymes, man was that a wack song fatherhood changes people... (no wonder Ging just dodged the whole deal XD).

   Yeah that new album tried but is far from bringing them back, just the opening "Keys to the Kingdom" was one hell of a stranger, Mike's part was not long enough for me, and then the song finishes, the same happens with the whole album, is like you are expecting them to make a comeback that never happens, and "in the end, it doesn't even matter", actually to be more accurate is like the beginning of each track doesn't matters and you have to skip to the end to get anything out of it "Rebellion" and you miss nothing at all with the jump.
   But talking about disappointments, "Drawbar" supposedly has motafucking Tom Morello on it! how the hell does that happens!? and on a 3 min track nonetheless! and yet not even one damn guitar is heard anywhere, it takes all your expectations and trashes them on the floor, and you ask yourself "W-w-what happened? the hell? was this the wrong song?" but no that was Drawbar FT. Tom Morello, i mean is not a bad song, you probably delete all the expectations, names and links associated with it, and it can even be enjoyed, but that's not something you let a band that seems dead since the 2000 to get away with!
   You probably would have to repeat the album a bunch of times and then convince yourself that this new band is fine, but are they better than their old selves?.

   But credit where credit is deserved, half the album (maybe less) was better than all their other recent pop stuff combined, but that is just accepting a compromise, well half an album is better than no album at all, or just 1 or 2 songs.

   And that is what i think of their new album, they get Tom Morello and create an ambient song, it is a good ambient song? yes as far as ambient songs can go (but nothing on the levels of Cure for the Itch, or Session), does it needed Tom modafucking Morello and Ex-Numetal band LP to be made? hell no.

   Mmm, I probably heard/saw Boiler way after Papercut. Least I was in a different country at that time. :) Only Marylin Manson video I've seen is Sweet Dreams, I think... still a favorite! Gotta post that one too btw.

   lol, *checking out We Made It* Oh hell no, Drake... Soulja Boy?! Oh wait, Busta Rhymes hmm, wrong video... ah I remember that one. I loved the hook, but their musical styles just... didn't sync. :/ I like a lot of Busta Rhymes other stuff though.

   True, it feels like the musical interludes were waaaay too long. Even that Guilty All The Same track takes ages before it starts up. Overall I felt they pushed the music too loud though, been reading up on this lately so that's like the first thing I thought: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loudness_war

   Tom Morello man, who's... oh woah, I've definitely heard of him! Gotta post some Audioslave too, and Rage Against The Machine, can't count how many times I've listened to Killing in the Name (of)!

   Mmm.

   Mmm2. Yeah I can't do other than agree, it's one of those albums I enjoy listening to in the background, but nothing I got a real kick out of. Not like with their older records. Nothing that inspires, empowers; makes me see things in a new perspective! Still gotta listen to their older remix albums though, maybe some gems there.

   I tell you fatherhood changes a man.

   Yeah there is some Loudness War on it, a lot of bands fall on it lately.

   Yeah, it is an album that survives but doesn't sticks.

   I hope you were joking with the "Tom Morello man, who’s…" part, for real.

   I guess so!

   Ah, you knew about it already?!

   True that.

   Eh nooo, I've never been too interested in names until these last years, I know most bands/artist by their band/artist name, sometimes their aliases, rarely ever their real names. LP and LB may be two of few exceptions...
