letdownagain Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 Linkin Park “More The Victim” and Naked Gypsy Queens “Down To The Devil” bring ALL the rock and roll shout-along power – and then some! You need to pick up this new DLC debuting Thursday in the Rock Band Music Store! As the first new album since May 2017 from one of the most celebrated rock bands of all time, the 20th anniversary reissue of Linkin Park’s Meteora on April 7th of this year already had fans excited. However, when it came to light a few months ago that singer Mike Shinoda had unearthed a few previously unreleased tracks on his hard drives, longtime supporters of the six-piece were absolutely salivating. “More The Victim” mines familiar sonic and emotional territory for these legends, but takes on greater weight in light of the passing of co-frontman Chester Bennington six years ago. A reworking of fan-favorite instrumental “Cumulus,” which Linkin Park released in 2013 on the LP Underground XIII CD, Shinoda says the cut is, “basically the furthest we got with it, in terms of a demo.” After a brief instrumental intro, at the 7-second mark, “More The Victim” snaps to life with vocals over an assertive, trademark Linkin Park drum beat delivered with Rob Bourdon’s typical authority and power. Lyrically, Bennington offers a scathing rebuke of “More The Victim”’s antagonist. The attention-seeking one-upmanship of anyone who can’t simply lend a sympathetic ear to an individual in crisis and instead raises the stakes by pointing to their own struggles is squarely in the crosshairs here. At 39 seconds in, it’s a prime Linkin Park refrain: emotive, muscular, impactful. Shinoda is an effective MC throughout “More The Victim” and Joseph Hahn’s DJ work provides the “special sauce” that made this legendary band equal parts hip-hop and rock and roll. Meanwhile, Brad Delson’s roaring guitar and the throaty, muscular bass of Phoenix steer the whole affair towards metal territory. It’s a singular alchemy that nobody perfected like these fellas. If you find yourself picking up on the early-aughts vibes of the song’s production and mix, that’s entirely intentional. As Shinoda has explained regarding the newly discovered tracks, “I really wanted to keep it true to the initial intention, because I didn’t want to taint this time warp. What I love about the three new songs is that all of them represent a different facet of the band, as it was in 2003.” Whether you’re a longtime, die-hard Linkin Park fanatic, or new to what this group brings to the table, “More The Victim” is an emotional, rewarding ride. Don’t miss out! Linkin Park “More The Victim” and Naked Gypsy Queens “Down To The Devil” are available for $1.99 each.

YRQRM0 Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 Sick, that means we'll get some multitracks right? Also I'm very glad they're putting some effort into promoting MTV because it deserves at least as much as Fighting Myself, if not as much as Lost Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thigolpbr Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 vocals, guitar, bass, drums and extras. if the band provided the multitracks, then we will have Stems coming from the multitracks. this is perfect! A Linkin Park only rock band game would be amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solidss Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 absolutely amazing, this definitely means we will be able to get all the individual stems for the tracks like the rest of the music that end up on the Rock Band video games. looking forward to it!

DLC isn’t released yet, so all talk is related to potential stems, not multitracks. Pet peeve by multitracks is the wrong language to use here. https://www.izotope.com/en/learn/stems-and-multitracks-whats-the-difference.html#defining-multitracks-and-stems Edited April 12, 2023 by letdownagain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have the Lying From You RB4 stems, so there shouldn't be any reason we can't get these as well. It's just a matter of someone with the means to do it sharing them.

I found a YouTube video of "More The Victim" by Linkin Park being played by a YouTuber by the name of Sloth Demon Dump on Rock Band 3, for some reason (maybe he imported it into the game or something, I don't know). Fellow YouTuber LACG, of whom I'm pretty sure everyone here is very familiar with, especially with his mashups with Linkin Park and stuff, asked him if he could share the stems. Sloth Demon Dump replied with this: "Sure, here you have it So, apparently this song has been, like, forgotten a long time ago that LP didn't find all tracks so them with Harmonix kinda isolated the song but at the same time used some existing tracks of the song (or well that's my guess of why the stems sounds kinda weird)" EDIT: link removed I don't think they are the official stems, but they sound very cool. Also, here's the Harmonix site that he was talking about: https://www.harmonixmusic.com/music If you click on the "go" button, it leads you to this site: https://rbdb.online I think that's where he isolated the stems that you can find in the Google Drive link.
