Believe Me released

[Hahninator]

Well sorry I couldn't get it to you guys first. It's hard when I'm at school. I still couldn't have done it because LPFuse put it up before the player even had it.

Anyways, go on over to lpfuse.co.uk to download this.

Hahninator's review:

Chorus: C+
Verses: A+
Bridge: B-
Overall vocals: A

I love the entire song. The beat and verses are AMAZING! :D I actually like the chorus now!

[UnhingedMouse0]

MY EARS ARE BLEEDING!!!! :(

THAT CHORUS IS HORRIBLE... I KNOW YOUR NOT SUPPOSED TO USE ALL CAPS... BUT IM JUST LIKE NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! O_O :(

Sorry... The beat and the rest of the lyrics are pretty good...
But In all seriousness... Mike can NOT sing normally very well [if that IS him] and the lyrics are just cheesy. It reminds me of some horrible backstreet boys singing. Definetly NOT first single... or any single material. >.<

Im being honest here... completely bashing this just proves that I wasnt exaggerating when I said that RTN and Petrified where the best thing this side of pluto!!?!!! :D lmao

Well, the chorus fucked this up. I love the entire song. The beat and verses are AMAZING but I totally hate the chorus >_<

i totally agree with you. this song is sweet but the chorus sucks horribly. it sounded like nsync did the chorus when i first heard it.

btw hahninator, aren't you supposed to be off your computer until the weekend, lol. ;)

[Hahninator]

Yes but this is urgent O_O I checked the site like all day at school lmao.

I think I said what everyone else wanted me to say by stating the chorus is gay , while everything else pwns *learns Mike's verses*

*sticks song onto my Linux iPod*

BTW, get Mike to tell us who sings the chorus. Is it John, Mike, or who?

[UnhingedMouse0]

Yah... Nsync is probably a better comparison... although they are basically one in the same...

Yah Hanh... why are you on? I am cuz we get off for Roshashana(sp?)

Yes but this is urgent O_O I checked the site like all day at school lmao.

Haha Linux iPod lmao

Could be both even...

[[LP]GotLinkinPark?]

Yeah I can agree. The chorus might be better if they had a good singer with a different rhythm to the lyrics at that part. I think RTN and Petrified are waaaaay better and hopefully the rest of the album are too. Sorta a disappointment. -_-

A GIGANTIC DISAPPOINTMENT! >.<

Sorry... Im just pissed... I expected great things.. and got let down hard. :mad:

[Stenners]

Chorus is bad but I sadly feel like this track could be the unit shifter, sounds like something the mass market would purchase.

[Hahninator]

Well just found out it's Mike and Styles of Beyond on the song >_<

[Hyper]

*turns on slipknot to stop the bleeding*

[MysteryLpChick]

Um... when I heard the chorus I kind of died laughing. I had tears in my eyes, and I fell off the bed. I love everything else, but the chorus brings me back to the days in 6th grade and boy bands ruled the world. I think that type of song where you have to keep listening to it over and over again, maybe that's just my opinion.

Anyway, I just thought it was funny.

[Hahninator]

Well now I'm addicted and think it's the best thing ever.

FM Song rankings (based on what I have):

[o0SugaxNxSpice0o]

I don't know if anyone is allowed to upload it, but go on the official Fort Minor website (http://www.fortminor.com) and stream it from the player! :thumbsup:

[Vash_the_Stampede]

No Jen, you're not. I really like it too.

[Vash_the_Stampede]

Oh, & Shadowfax, PM me. <.<

[Brkng_Th_Hbt]

gosh people. It's not that bad.... but it is pretty bad ^^ It's a pretty cool song.

Nope, you're not alone, I like it, I even liked the chorus, although I've forgotten how it sounds lol
But I've got to say that Petrified>RTN>Believe Me

EDIT:

Screw what I said lol, Ryan, I agree totally :p

[Stenners]

I like Petrified the most too, that track REALLY grew on me :)

[Brkng_Th_Hbt]

I actually didn't like it at first believe it or not ^^ but yeah, Petrified totally grew on me o_0

[Friðbjörn]

Yeah I mean Mike doesn't have to work lyrical miracles (woah what a rhyme rofl) to win me over.
And well, the lyrics are great truth be told, although they're very unoriginal. But hey, Mike had to have at least one shot-out song.

Petrified all the way.

[Brkng_Th_Hbt]

w00t for Petrified!!

wow.. Believe Me's chorus freaks me out...lmao. the song i have is low quality (got it off limewire) is this the only version?

[azemkamikaze03]

RTN has the best beat best lyrircs best every thing

Heres the version I ripped (I like it better)

LYRICS (if they havent been posted):
Credit: LPFuse

Like that that that that that n that

I guess that this is where we've come to
If you don't want to, then you don't have to believe me
But I will be there when you go down
Just so you know now
You're on your own now, believe me

Ryu:
Yo, I don't wanna be the one to blame
You like fun and games, keep playin em
I'm just sayin
Think back then we was like one and the same
On the right track, but I was on the wrong train
Its like that, now you gotta face the pain
And the devil's got a fresh new place to play
In your brain like a maze you can never escape
The reign, every damn day's the same shade of grey

Mike:
hey, i used to have a little bit of a plan
used to, have a concept of where i stand
but that concept slipped right outta my hand
now, i dont really even know who i am
yo, what do i have to say, maybe
i should do what i have to do to break free and
whatever happens to u, we'll see
but its not gonna happen with me

I guess that this is where we've come to
If you don't want to, then you don't have to believe me
But I will be there when you go down
Just so you know now
You're on your own now, believe me

Mike:
back then, i thought you were just like me
somebody who could see all the pain i see
but you proved to me unintentionally
that you would self destruct eventually
now i'm thinkin like the mistake that i made doesn't hurt
But its not gonna work cause its
Really much worse than I thought
I wished you were something you were not
And now this guilt is really all that I've got

Tak:
]you turned your back and walk away ashamed
all you got
empty memory and pain, nothing makes sense
you stare at the ground, like hearin my voice inside your head when no one else is around
what do i have to say
maybe i should do what i have to do to break free man (not sure about the man)

I guess that this is where we've come to
If you don't want to, then you don't have to believe me
But I will be there when you go down
Just so you know now
You're on your own now, believe me

(drums and mike saying YEAH, lets go)

I'm guess that this is where we've come to
YEAH
If you don't want to, then you don't have to believe me
But I will be there when you go down
YEAH
Just so you know now
You're on your own now, believe me

I'm doin what I have to do
You're on your own now believe me
Whatever happens to you
You're on your own now believe me
What do I have to say
You're on your own now believe me
Its not gonna happen to me
You're on your own now believe me

[evanescencefm]

It's definatly Mike singing it then? o_0

Yeah - apparently they synthed mike's voice for god knows what reason...imo - just leave his voice the way it is, we've already heard it on lit, there's no need to be embarassed lol... i like the chorus lyrics though...and for some odd reason (maybe i'm thinking way too deep on this), i think mike might be having some regrets about doing his whole lp thing...that's just what i've gotten from teh song....

I dunno, I like it. I see most everyone's complaining about the chorus. I don't think it's that bad.

[Hahninator]

:P Mine's higher volume lol. I like Agent's better though - quality pwns

[Hybrid Soldier]

Dude, I like the chorus, what are yall bitchin about?

[MysteryLpChick]

My cousin just broke the speakers off my computer because I keep playing Believe Me over and over again, and now I can't listen to it no more. Thanks for the link though, guys once. Now I have to figure out how to fix my speackers now.

LOL...i'm sorry to hear that. It's a good song. Just put it on your iPod or burn it to CD or something.

[azemkamikaze03]

Thats what I did.

[UnhingedMouse0]

Im still not too fond of it... It hasnt quite grown on me.....YET :p

Although Agents version makes it alot better... that first version was horrible >.<


No matter what... I still hope thats not the single... even If I start to like it.

Its like the end of In The End at the beginning...
Whats this bout Mike saying something at the end?

EDIT: Ok, Now I hear it...

[4everLP_Shinoda]

OMG!!!I haven´t been in here the whole day and now I found this!!!!!Thanx to Agent and Hahninator for uploading the song,and thanx to Hahninator for posting the lyrics of the song!
I´m gonna listen to it RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!:D:D:D

[4everLP_Shinoda]

The song is pretty kool,I like it,the chorus sounds kinda pop lol but other than that the sog is pretty kool:D

[LP186]

i like it :D
i agree wit Vero, the chorus has got a bit of pop in it
but over all its all good

[meteora500]

When I fist heard it I was actually quite surprised at the chorus, definatly not what I had expected. It is kinda poppy, but I guess it does grow on you after a while. But Petrified is still the best so far.

[linkinrapark]

To me its very different ,
different can be good

[acdcrules04]

oh god oh god oh god..... it sound's like the backstreet boys AHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!! no, bad mike! wtf...

[Vash_the_Stampede]

I love it. I'm with Mark when he says,
"Believe Me > Remember The Name"

[TEcHNO]

It's like...N*SYNC....with...rap...and...Mike Shinoda.
Grow on you? I think not. I cried when I first heard this song, what kind of horrible nightmare is this song stemmed from? PLEASE, take it back!!!!
Sorry, Mike. I tried, I really did.

[_de(\)emy_]

exactly right.

[Stenners]

At least we got a cd quality version now lol

[Friðbjörn]

Someone said something about ITE at the beginning, yeah there's definately this piano hook that play in the beginning, I think they flipped/reversed/sampled or something they piano from ITE.

[Heart_LP]

yep, it's from ITE, It sounds like the ending piano solo in the song.
I love the lyrics!! :D
but the chorus thingie is not so good

[o0SugaxNxSpice0o]

Yeah I think Fribs is right about the ITE bit at the beginning. I didn't hear it on the first version because the quality was kinda poor. Thanks Agent for the amazing quality of that song xD! I heard it now lol. It's going on my ipod promto. I'm still liking the chorus though. It's catchy :)

[4everLP_Shinoda]

oh god oh god oh god..... it sound's like the backstreet boys AHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!! no, bad mike! wtf...

OMG OMG OMG!!!Yesterday when I was listening to the song I was thinking the same thing!!!!:eek:I just didn´t want to posted in case any1 started to bash me,lol but yea it kinda reminds me of BSB XD.
But other than that the song is pretty kool :)

[Friðbjörn]

Thanks.

And about the chorus being soft, come on, Mike's been soft with LP, fx. in Numb, why can't he be a little soft in one song on his own?

I clearly remember that almost everyone was like omg! numb is totally da kewlest roflmao!!!!111oneone

And when Mike goes soft on a chorus in one song, so many people get so crazy.

[Stenners]

No its cause it sounds like a pop group lol.

[o0SugaxNxSpice0o]

Anyway a lot of us said that we wanted to hear Mike sing when we were discussing Live In Texas where he sang a little, because he has a great voice :) Well there you have it there and I like it lol.

It doesn't sound like BSB's lol. I like BSB's anyway :O

[Friðbjörn]

Well Mike does have a great voice, and voila! we have him singing.

Ok, very well Matt, but this song pwns Numb fx. if you ask me. Numb's IMO way too soft and sounds so poppy, this is not poppier than Numb.

[UnhingedMouse0]

Yeah I think Fribs is right about the ITE bit at the beginning.
That was meeee who originally said that! >.< lmao :p


Anyway... Its growing on me, I kinda like it now... Its still my least favorite of the 3 songs weve got.

[Friðbjörn]

As I mentioned, I just didn't remember who, sorry

[4everLP_Shinoda]

Like I said b4,the song is pretty kool.

[o0SugaxNxSpice0o]

That was meeee who originally said that! >.< lmao :p


Anyway... Its growing on me, I kinda like it now... Its still my least favorite of the 3 songs weve got.

SORRY Dave! All the credit goes to you for that! My bad lol.

I'm glad it's finally growing on you, a huge change from your first reaction eh lol. :D

[Hahninator]

I got ISS today at school O_______O

Noone prolly cares why but I took a small speaker with me and plugged it into my iPod and was blasting Believe Me during lunch O_O

[azemkamikaze03]

LOL i always do that!

[UnhingedMouse0]

I got ISS today at school O_______O

Noone prolly cares why but I took a small speaker with me and plugged it into my iPod and was blasting Believe Me during lunch O_O

aww... sucks for you... but...

YAY!!! WAY YO GO!! REPPIN FM! :D

[NoEnd]

i think the chorus is actually pretty good?

[ForgottenKid]

Noone prolly cares why but I took a small speaker with me and plugged it into my iPod and was blasting Believe Me during lunch O_O
Yay im not the only one... lol.

Belive me sounds kinda rap/pop-ish to me. Ermm the chorus sounds pop-ish, and according to the pop/techno loving brother of mine its "catchy", which in turn means its not good to me.

[azemkamikaze03]

Yeah its one of thoes songs that you hate but then it keeps playing and playing then its like awesome

[FadedBlue]

LOL!! What the hell is up the chorus,Lmao. I can't stop laughing!

Everything else is really good. The chorus is on again..lmao!!
*cries* I cant stop laughing.

[ForgottenKid]

lol Faded you must really find the chourus funny.

[brokenangel]

oh em gee!! double you tee eff, mate??!!! i don't like it. what's that...conga drums?? nooo no! BAD first single...BAD BAD!!! but then again...first time i heard RTN, i hated it and then i fell inlove with it, so i guess i'll have to give this a chance.

i gotta admit one thing though...if it IS Mike singing...the guy's singing voice isn't half bad. Much better than what he does in LP (when he sings crawling and numb sometimes...blech). *sigh* I would really, really prefer Petrified to be the first single, but meh..shit happens, birds fall (gotta quote Vash on that one :p)

[acdcrules04]

it just sounds so corny "you don't have to believe me" lordy. the rest is the song is awesome... but the chorus just... bleh

i like the congo drums... their []D [] []V[] []D :D

[ForgottenKid]

The guy who sing the chourus, is....scareing me. LOL no i still think it sounds a little popish...whats up with that?

[meteora500]

Yeah its one of thoes songs that you hate but then it keeps playing and playing then its like awesome

Exactly! Although its still my least favorite out of the 3 that we currently have

[Brkng_Th_Hbt]

I got ISS today at school O_______O

Noone prolly cares why but I took a small speaker with me and plugged it into my iPod and was blasting Believe Me during lunch O_O

o_0 if I even took out my MP3 player at lunch, I'd probably get suspended or something.

and if I played it on a speaker? O__O

[Hybrid Soldier]

The guy who sing the chourus, is....scareing me. LOL no i still think it sounds a little popish...whats up with that?
Then I guess mike scares you, thats his voice synthesised.

[linkinrapark]

after hearing it yesterday and today its fucking tight!

[DJ BloodFrost]

OK, If I hear one more person complain about the fact that Believe Me's chorus sounds like BSB/N'Sync, I'm gunna go fuckin' apeshit.

STOP IT ALREADY!!!

If you don't like it, then say you don't like it. I'm sick of seeing these people bitch about the track because it doesn't sound the way they wanted it to. Just stop, OK? If you insist on basing it, go create a "Believe Me Bashing Central" thread. And make sure you do it in LPF Games so it doesn't boost your post count.

[Hybrid Soldier]

and then ill make a "believe me bashing bashing" thread, lmao

[Hahninator]

Holy crap go to the FM Forums or something.
There's this Garage Band program or something that has Orchestra loops for songs and its got the effing Believe Me loop in it LOL. It's AWESOME :P Shows Mike isn't always original, eh?

Go see.
