linkindan Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 It’s already on repeat It won’t win any awards, but this is the direction I wanted so fucking badly 1 hour ago, martinez said: Added full lyrics, song credits and HQ artwork to the main post.

Mike really feels like he's reinforcing that idea not to keep prying at the band, because that return simply isn't in the cards. And honestly, good on him. The band is, obviously, going to be sorely missed, it has been, but if that's what this is about, I'm glad we have at least something. I love Mike's solo work just as much as I love Chester's. Mike's going to do just fine and I'm more than excited to see where this new era goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qwerty18 Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 The song definitely has "some" LP vibe. This is a bit reminiscent in style of songs like What I've Done/Pretend to Be, but much more upbeat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YRQRM0 Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 Pretty interesting new campaign on Mike's website that teases a "next phase of adoption" a week from now after you play a little interactive game, I wonder what it could be HTTPS://WWW.MIKESHINODA.COM.

Somebodyangry Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 Song is nice ! It’s like a Mike’s song with MTM instrumentals, i like the second part more than the first, it’s fun, super repetitive but fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andros Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 I love it, if there is a new album, I hope it has this direction with this kind of musical style, PT was good but I miss so much this type of music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hybrider Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 Awesome song. This is what I expected from Mike. Using guitars in songs. Typical LP guitar sounds. If it's mixed by Andy Wallace it would have louder guitars and it would sound more heavy than it is. Mike should do more songs like this. 👌🏻👍🏻 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like he’s going the “drop a single whenever I feel inspired, make a song, and that song is ready” route rather than crafting an album and releasing that. I wish he would drop an album and tour, as doing a single once every whenever is not going to sustain his popularity in the mainstream, especially with no touring to promote his music. I still regularly will recommend his music to people, but it’s been 6 years and he’s dropped one album and a few singles. Not to sound dramatic, but with Mike insisting that there are no plans for an MS album or tour it’s starting to feel like he’s semi-retired at this point and is more comfortable working as a producer/writer with younger artists and just dropping a single of his own here and there.

Rokaito Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 (edited) 22 minutes ago, lp921x said: I hope Mike reunites with Ryu and maybe Tak for The Rising Tied 20 Anniversary in 2025. No new music but imagine even a small tour or something for it. Mike has to do something for it. His first solo album turning 20 and The Rising Tied was pretty big in underground hip-hop at the time. He worked with a ton of great artists during the Fort Minor era of late 2004-2006. I wish Mike could hook up with those guys again for the upcoming Fort Minor anniversary. If there's a way for then to make up,them hopefully Edited October 6, 2023 by Rokaito Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's... really strange. He's hyping too much up to just be one song and then... who even knows what else. Definitely one of the weirder hype-ups we've gotten.

RentEznor Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 (edited) The music video is pretty cool, no AI goofy looking shit. Song's cool even if I personally prefer the Hip Hop vibe, either way, can't wait to hear more random releases from him. 9 hours ago, Rokaito said: If there's a way for then to make up,them hopefully I believe they already did years ago over that 'Welcome' unreleased remix misunderstanding, but the feeling is that their relationship hasn't been that close for a long time now. And he's more into making music with new people and not already established artists so, unlikely. 4 hours ago, martinez said: That HT t-shirt looks good.
