martinez Posted May 8, 2023 Share Posted May 8, 2023 Looks like the band decided to put out an separated album with all the demos from the Meteora|20 called "Lost Demos". The album is available on various streaming platforms. All the songs are the exact same versions as the ones originally released on April 7. Click on the cover for higher quality. Tracklist: Lost (03:19) Fighting Myself (03:21) More The Victim (02:41) Massive (03:08) Healing Foot (03:31) A6 (Meteora|20 Demo) (03:54) Cuidado (Lying From You Demo) (03:18) Husky (Hit The Floor Demo) (03:13) Interrogation (Easier To Run Demo) (03:40) Faint (Meteora|20 Demo) (03:55) Plaster 2 (Figure.09 Demo) (02:56) Shifter (From The Inside Demo) (03:24) Wesside (03:14) Resolution (04:37) Official Linkin Park link for the album: https://lprk.co/lostdemos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OceanOpera Posted May 8, 2023 Share Posted May 8, 2023 Not gonna lie, I'm incredibly happy with this development. means many more might get the chance to hear these tracks down the line that wouldn't have noticed them otherwise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gorast Posted May 8, 2023 Share Posted May 8, 2023 As dumb a fixation as this is, I like that we get official artwork for the Lost Demos portion of the box with this release. I know there was custom art posted on here before, but I just prefer official art instead when it's available, even if it's just a palette swap and some added text.

Somebodyangry Posted May 8, 2023 Share Posted May 8, 2023 More the Victim barely hitting 5 million streams was due to the bad idea of not making Lost demos a separated “album”. Good decision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they could've done something like add it as a bonus track to the Lost Demos compilation. Edited May 8, 2023 by NJPLP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If someone goes to Spotify and searches for the song, that‘s the version they want that person to hear. Adding the 2002 version only makes that less likely.

vinifeijo Posted May 9, 2023 Share Posted May 9, 2023 Sometimes LP team is outstanding at marketing decision and sometimes they make some incomprehensible moves. Lost was so big, why didn't they follow that up properly with Fighting Myself and More The Victim? Hope this move right now helps a little bit more.

Nezumi86 Posted May 9, 2023 Share Posted May 9, 2023 I'm not worrying, tbh. The M2M anniversary is sooo far away. 😄 The tram could run over me twice till the release date. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there are two reasons: 1. Lost was way more successful than what they anticipated and they didn't prepare anything big afterwards. It was probably never meant to stick around the charts for that long. 2. They don't want to get caught in the nostalgic trip. As much as it is nice that the song is successful, I can imagine that they don't want to be defined by releasing old stuff now. Especially by releasing old music they didn't consider worthy enough to put on the album back then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinez Posted May 9, 2023 Author Share Posted May 9, 2023 I think Lost is one of the most successful song. Fighting Myself wasn't postponed because of that but rather because Mike's new song was on the way.

The album is not available in any country there, it's only on Apple Music, Amazon link does not work for me either. Either it's gonna show up there later this week or it is a bug. It seems this supossed to by available for streaming only. If not the official link from the LP side I would consider this release as a mistake, there were such mistakes in the past. The barcode for this album looks weird, the release date is April 1st (Saturday), both not very typically by Warner. I saw some people consider those as playlist. Check the links to both Apple Music and spotify, the links contains "/album/" instead of that they would have "/playlist/" then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s a really good point, the success of “Lost” is crazy, and M20 charting on Billboard for 4 consecutive weeks in the first 60 places is insane, like, it’s charting better than OML (except for the peak position).

deanowardust Posted May 10, 2023 Share Posted May 10, 2023 this leaves potential for this to be on vinyl for RSD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
majorfort Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 I know it might be a bit "off-topic" but any guess as to why the band omitted to release the Instrumentals for Meteora for the anniversary too? They didn't do it for HT20 either and it's sorta weird, given that they released their Instrumentals since Living Things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lost don't need support anymore, I think Fighting Myself is that much good that can easily defend self, More The Victim needs more support.

OML Instrumentals/Acapellas was mastered and delivered by the band to the label. The label was waiting for the right moment to release them. That's what Mike said.

Somebodyangry Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 Lost will crack 120 million streams on Spotify in like a couple of weeks. Still amazed on how big the song got Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
