AdamArtz Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 "ON_ _ _ _ _ _ " = "ONE MONTH"? I hope not... Who said it's one word Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fedvr99 Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 I have to admit that this is a suffered but well-studied release. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 "ON_ _ _ _ _ _ " = "ONE MONTH"? I hope not... If this IS it, I wouldn't mind as long as the single drops. That way we would have a single and an album release date. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nesta Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 Maybe they are spelling it backwards so it could be "...NO". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geki Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 (edited) From ATS only the the 8sec empty spaces i find it unnecessary, all the other fillers fitted very well! I was talking more along the lines of other bands and artists, not Linkin Park, since I really don't even listen to Linkin Park besides for their live shit. Some bands put a lot of filler and it makes it unnecessary to me. A long album doesn't always mean it's the best. Sometimes even a shorter batch of songs that are really powerful can be better, at least to me. EDIT: After watching the second clip, I think LP is heading in dangerous territory a little bit. Not musically, but the way they are discussing the music. The way that they have been talking about this album and hyping it, it could lead to disappointment largely when it finally comes out. Not trying to be negative just for the sake of being negative here. Edited February 6, 2017 by Geki Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 At this point he's probably still in the band because they're all buddies and they need a music video director. He contributes little to nothing musically. Somehow I doubt that's true. Even without doing extensive research on their recent output and Joe's contributions to it, I don't think they would keep him around and pay him 1/6 of the royalties brought in just because they're good friends. I would be curious to see Astat weigh in on this lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liontor Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 (edited) I hope the teasers will reveal the new album's name and release date. It's too much hype for just a single release. Edited February 6, 2017 by Liontor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kilmer Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 This video puts down this idea of Joe not contributing musically: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=00FBAdjlF4g Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michelbeats Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 I think Joe is doing sound design Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellomoto170 Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 Can someone fill me in on why Joe's not as involved anymore/for this album? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 There is no evidence to suggest that Joe isn't actively contributing to this album. It's like for MTM when a lot of people thought Mike was easing his way out of the band (or even that he had already left). We all saw how wrong of a perception that was.

Astat Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 Somehow I doubt that's true. Even without doing extensive research on their recent output and Joe's contributions to it, I don't think they would keep him around and pay him 1/6 of the royalties brought in just because they're good friends. I would be curious to see Astat weigh in on this lol. I mean, it's really no secret that Linkin Park could realistically continue to exist with only Mike, Chester, and Brad in the group. Mike's both the primary songwriter and producer, Chester's the lead vocalist, and Brad's a co-writer/co-producer of a lot of the stuff Mike works on, in addition to being able to do stuff with the guitar work that Mike can't. It's not that the other three guys don't contribute, but what they do contribute is a much smaller portion of the overall writing process. Their value comes from a combination of enabling the band to perform their material live, having more people to bounce ideas off of, and being dependable people who have been around the group forever. I think people make the mistake of seeing "valuable" and "expendable" as mutually exclusive things. It's not that Linkin Park couldn't survive if some combination of Rob, Dave, and Joe weren't part of the band anymore, but why on earth would they get rid of them if they didn't have a reason to? I don't really see it as any different from a group like Nine Inch Nails where you have a primary songwriter and everybody else is a hired musician who either helps get the songwriter's ideas recorded for albums or tours with the songwriter as a means of reproducing those sounds live. It's just in this case, everybody's actually an official member of the band, rather than just being relegated to an "additional musician" role on an album or a "touring member" role on tour. Mike very easily could have been to Linkin Park what Trent Reznor is to Nine Inch Nails, he just decided early on that he wasn't going to operate that way.

RickLPL Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 so clip 3 was just released with Chester and Mike and a woman I don't know discussing the lyrics to Heavy. I noticed they're singing the same melody as Mike does in the first piano clip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RogueSoul Posted February 8, 2017 Author Share Posted February 8, 2017 Mike first mentioned Emily Wright's name in November 2016 on the Facebook livestream. Looks like 'Heavy' started to really get worked on later in the cycle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hahninator Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 So Emily Wright is a songwriter and isn't on vocals? It's possible Kiiara is still on vocals for this song? Lmao Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark403 Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 Clip #4 is up, now we have a "onem" URL... Now "onemonth" is more likely.

Justin Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 I like how, post ATS, Mike is like "Ok, now we're at the point where I wanna take risks", as if that album alone wasn't full of risky songs for them at the time lol I like these conversations though. I really hope there's a "making of" DVD with this album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickLPL Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 (edited) I'm also hoping for a making of and I'm eager to see how poppy this album will be. Since they're in Larrabee studios here, this video must have been recorded early on in the making of this album.
