Experience

四年了...之前的歌都不知道聽幾遍了 LP終於要出新專輯了
大家都已經等不急了 所以低調滿天飛

真的再怎麼防也沒用
就算華納有人每天盯著youtube
看到LP的MV 看一首砍一首
還是沒用
不只MV
這兩天整張專輯都有得抓了

之前"What I've Done"推出的時候
聽說很多LP迷在地上打滾說"這不是LP 這不是LP"
"LP怎麼開始唱抒情搖滾了 囧"

雖然目前剛聽完一遍
個人覺得沒有那麼糟啦
這張專輯其實很有趣
LP嘗試了很多新的元素
簡單說就把他當一個新的體驗來聽
其實還不錯聽呀
歌手勇於嘗試 求新求變
其實歌迷也應該放開心胸 用一個全新的心情來
這樣聽音樂才有樂趣嘛

好吧
我不是死忠的LP fan
我只想知道他們搞這麼久 想搞出什麼新玩意
而且我覺得蠻有趣的

期待LP今年真的會來台灣

請大家支持正版吧

Mike對專輯流出的想法 (轉自PTT LinkinPark版)

to all our linkin park fans,


we heard today that the album leaked...
so i guess some of you have had a chance to hear what we've been so excited about.
we're both excited and disappionted that you're hearing it right now.
here's why:
今天我們聽說專輯流出的事了，
所以我猜你們有些人也已經有機會聽到我們一直覺得很興奮的這張專輯。
對於你們能聽到這些歌曲，我們覺得很興奮，但也覺得很失望，
因為：


it couldn't be more exciting to give you all new music,
especially after all the hard work we put into it.
this album was almost a year and a half of experiments,
mistakes, inspiration, and careful craftsmanship.
we put everything we had into these songs,
and want you to hear every second of it.
i can't wait for you to absorb all the levels of meaning in the songs,
and the layers of music,
eventually forming your own ideas about what the songs mean to you.
獻給你們全新的音樂是再令人興奮不過的事，
特別是我們經過一番辛苦作成的。
這專輯花了幾乎一年半的實驗、錯誤、靈感以及精心的技巧。
我們已經搬出所有壓箱寶製作這些音樂，
而且也很渴望你們能聽這些歌每分每秒。
我迫不及待，希望你們能吸收這些歌曲、音樂所含的所有境界還有層次，
最後你們再想想這些歌對你們的意涵。


at the same time,
a leak leaves out some very important parts of this piece of work.
we put months of creative energy into the ART of the record,
in thebooklet, special edition, and big book...
almost as long as it took to record hybrid theory.
the album has amazing photos, lyrics,
and notes about how the songs came together--
it's the visual half of the record. on the other hand,
the super-special-edition book is packed with exclusive images,
stories of the making of the songs, gorgeous art,
the CD and a DVD that tells the story,
showing the actual moments of inspiration caught on camera.
for me, it's almost hard to imagine anyone really experiencing this album without that part of it.
同時，流出的音樂，卻也遺漏了一些專輯中非常重要的部分。
我們將數個月以來的創作力灌入專輯、booklet、special edition以及big book所含的藝術作品，
幾乎只要錄製「混合理論」所花費到的創作力，這張專輯同樣也有。
專輯內有驚豔的圖片、歌詞還有關於這些歌曲為何成為一張專輯的筆記。
另一方面，super special edition book附有獨家的圖片，
製作專輯的故事，豪華的美術作品，CD及DVD則利用鏡頭述說故事，
展現出我們靈感湧現的瞬間。
對我來說，沒有這些部分就能真正體會這張專輯的意義是難以想像的。


even the song sequence alone is very important.
it's WAY different to hear the songs in a random order than to listen to this record from beginning to end.
at the very least, if you've already downloaded the songs,
do us a huge favor and listen to them in the right order...
it'll be way more rewarding
甚至光連歌曲順序就很重要了。
隨機聽歌可是比從頭按順序聽到尾要大不相同。
要是你已經下載完所有歌曲，請至少幫我們一個大忙，
就是以正確的順序聽這些歌吧，這樣你會有很多收穫的:)


...that's all we wanted to say.
if any of you want to be patient and hold off on downloading the album,
and get the proper experience by checking out the actual piece in your hands, we applaud you for your restraint! and to everyone else who can't wait: we can't help but understand,
because we're just as excited about this album coming out as you are. either way, thanks for listening, and being a fan of our music.
這些就是我們想說的。如果你們有誰想繼續等待不靠下載，
然後拿到真正的專輯再體驗，那我們為你的抑制力鼓鼓掌。
而其他無法再等的，除了體諒我們也別無他法，
因為我們也跟你們一樣期待專輯的發行。
不管是哪一方，感謝你們聽我們的歌曲，成為我們的樂迷。


thanks for supporting the band, see you on tour!
