In an interview in Romania, Mike mentioned something interesting. I saw this on LPTimes - so thanks Jas!
"On a last note, Mike said, "Soon we will prepare a surprise and we will release an album with the best songs of Linkin Park in the last decade."" Or do you think this simply means he thinks LIVING THINGS contains the best LP songs on it? Regardless, it's worth a discussion! EDIT: Mike confirms there is no Greatest Hits. "@lplive-maybe a bad translation or something; there is no greatest hits album in the works, only LIVING THINGS" Thanks Mike! -------------------- QUOTE Victim of the 2011 Atlanta plot twist!

I always thought this might have been a "lost in translation" moment.
Like, maybe Mike said something about how Living Things "use all the tools" or "everything they've learned along the way" or something along those lines and it got misconstrued into a "greatest hits album." I just find it weird that Mike would randomly say this in some Romanian interview, but nowhere else. -------------------- the proud new admin at fuckyeahlinkinpark.tumblr.com follow us!

Or hell maybe he said it in a different way and this means just that he thinks LIVING THINGS has the best LP songs on it from the past decade, as in it's his favorite album.
You never know. Things in foreign interviews are translated from English (what the band says) to the local language and then translated back to English in an online translation so it's possible that is what he is referring to. Or there will be a greatest hits. But I think releasing that the same year as a new CD is pretty stupid and will take away from LIVING THINGS sales. So that's why I think it's translated slightly wrong. -------------------- QUOTE Victim of the 2011 Atlanta plot twist!

Very end.
I'm 99% sure he means Living Things. This is also not the "surprise" because you don't say surprise and what it is in the same sentence. -------------------- 2007: Berlin 4/28, Hamburg 5/27, Rock im Park 6/2

If they do a Greatest Hits album, it would be cool to have them rerecord them in their current live renditions or something like that. Make it something special for the fans who already have all of the albums.

well if it ends up being a "greatest hits" album... i guess it'll bring a b-side.. or something... if not, it would make no sense calling "surprise" of just everything that we already have. a bonus dvd could be another option.

No, it doesn't seem like something Mike would do, so that probably means the "surprise" and the "greatest album" statements are separate.
If there actually is a surprise, I'm curious as to what it'll be. As for the "greatest hits" statement, I think it's just Mike doing his usual new-album hype, referring to LIVING THINGS. They do have enough singles to put out a greatest hits album, though, even without Reanimation and the radio singles. Just pointing that out.

Not sure if this really will be a ''Greatest Hits'' album for LP. Time will tell, I guess. They're bound to make one sometime, just didn't think it would be so soon. Hopefully we get some cool b-sides or live track if this is true.

A Greatest Hits album makes sense at this point but I obviously wouldn't be interested.

Now i was thinking this...
When a band leaves a Label, the Label creates a Record called "Greatest Hits" So, maybe this a clue, Linkin Park will leave Warner ? -------------------- My Twitter My Facebook Youtube

Greatest Hits albums are pointless these days. It wouldn't even sell because most people already have all of their hit songs on their computers or iPods.
If you wanted a compilation of their biggest hits, you could just make the damn playlist yourself in less than a minute. Back in the day, all people had were CDs, so having a greatest hits album was a convenience for the casual fans. |
