Coizu Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 Copying from what I wrote in the shoutbox: I was debating with myself a lot recently if I should just not post anything here anymore to not just vent negative energy, but I guess I just want to get it out of my system once. At this point I am glad if LP is not going to do anything anymore. It seems like Mike lost all of his artistic vision and direction. All of his recently released songs were very mid, he got lost in all of this NFT/Web 3.0 non-sense and now this whole Already Over stuff. It's almost as if he slowly turns into a caricature of himself. Stuff he did was very inspiring and motivational to me, now I just roll my eyes and cringe when I see what he is up to next.

Somebodyangry Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 I liked the Crimson EP, but this is too much for an OK song who came out 4 months ago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bambitt Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 This is getting ridiculous. There is no point in stuff like this. It’s just clutter. I don’t get what Mike is doing anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YRQRM0 Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 Pretty cool tbh. You don't have to click on new AO stuff if you don't want guys. Mike is not rehashing the song for us hardcore fans, he's doing it because he can and to spread his reach as a solo artist. In the digital marketing age, you reuse content as much as you can to maximize engagement with your brand. It's not any different than LP doing gimmicky music videos like GATS or LITE, the 360 Welcome video, putting out "Live around the world", teaming up with Mercedes, 8-bit rebellion remixes, recharged remixes, remix contests, releasing acapellas and instrumentals etc. All of these are just maximizing the life and reach of the brand separate from new original pieces of music. We could either sit in silence between AO and the next original Mike song, or see stuff like this that makes us say "neat" and move on. Or, you can choose to be upset and complain, but why waste time like that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chazy987 Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 For me, the problem is not these experiments/methods to get more exposure/make money. Mike, alone or with the band, has always done this kind of thing. The problem is: what is MS NOW? Is he still an artist? What does he want to do with his career? And the thing that as a hardcore fan really doesn't sit well with me is the state of the band. On the eve of the seventh year, I'm fed up. Mike and the guys can do whatever they want. Always grateful to them. But one answer is mandatory. Stop being vague--I don't understand the point. Is there some problem that we don't know about? Music rights, internal situation of Chester's family and members' family? Does anyone in the band (Rob?) not want to continue? Fear in the search for a new vocalist? Guys, too many questions. It's frustrating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JZLP-NaughtyNottingham Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 Kinda like @Coizu It's concerning that Mike is still trying to find new ways to shove this song on everyone throat. The song was never amazing it was just decent 7/10 Right now it's disgusting, boring and specially annoying. I would rather have one thread for every news about Already Over. The front page is starting to look like spam. I know that news are a bit slow but anything is better than this. Fuck this track, fuck Mike mindset. Shinoda destroyed this song.

Also, JZLP I have seen some of your messages where you were answering on the same topic on the LPL's twitter and you were definitely more polite there!

That's kinda depressing and my point exactly, why turn every forum into a space full of complaining? What ever happened to "If you don't have anything nice to say"? Criticism I don't mind seeing: "I get Mike wants to maximize his reach and market his new song, but these remixes aren't very musically interesting and I wish he'd hold a remix contest or something to get more sonic variety" Criticism that I think is more annoying than 10,000 Already Over remixes: "The front page of a site/forum dedicated to discussing MS/LP releases and activities is littered with MS activities that I happen to not like. I'm sick of listening to every version of AO when, in fact, I am choosing to do so. I could just not listen and wait for the next original interesting track from Mike but instead am coming here to complain and critique the mere existence of these releases, even though he and his label are just following best marketing practices today" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is not a cult, some fans tend to have that mindset and praise every single thing that a band does. I just hope that Mike does something creative, he has what it takes to do something amazing. Thats why i am a little bit sad of this route. 27 versions of the same song and counting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OKCrew Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 You guys just aren’t getting it. All of this is a big performance art piece. It’s a metaphor for conservation in a time of late stage capitalism, and mankind’s tendency to waste resources even in the face of impending doom. Mike is recycling over and over again, and showing us that this plastic water bottle can still be a water bottle, even broken down and reused 40 times over Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats why i am a little bit sad of this route. 27 versions of the same song and counting. not really. i dislikes some of the LP stuff and something in the LP universe too (eg: i hate Grey Daze cashgrab albums). people are getting annoyed with your negative comments because you simply dislikes Mike Shinoda. fullstop. if it's not him, you might praise the releases like hell. GD can recycled their stuff over & over again and you're acting like it's holy grail. that's sick you know. sad to have a fan like you keep complaining and whining without having real discussion. whatever you said after this, i'm just taking it as a joke.

LPLStaff Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 It's funny because in every era there is something to complain about. Remember when we complained about LPU 8? Or Breaking the Habit (live) on so many LPU CDs? lol This type of sentiment has always existed. ATS era setlists in Europe to start? People were freeeeeaaaaaking out they weren't changing sets. lmao Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lpliveusername Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 We should host a Linkin Park community Purge event. You guys would go an entire year of being nice to each other and to Mike's overused song in exchange of 24 hours of going at each other's throats and posting all the negativity you want.

Other fandoms HATED LP with passion, then MTM made them lost a big fan base, ATS polarized the fans, LT, THP and finally the biggest shitstorm was OML damn that one was huge to the point that even Chester confronted fans. This situation of releasing 27 versions of the same song is completely nuts. I dont see myself as complaining it's just my opinion. I love Mike and i still believe that he has the talent to create the best LP album or a fantastic solo album im a hardcore fan i freaking love Shinoda, 23 years of my life dedicated to this band dudeeee what the hell there's no hate in my heart for anything that they've done.

Best marketing practices? Oh yeah every version is blowing up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trumtram Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 It goes both ways, though. People can enjoy what they want and just ignore those who don't? I mean there are 9(!) new versions of AO out now, so go and have fun with them. You now have 1 single version, 5 live versions and 15 remixes of one song to go crazy to. But just spelling that out should emphasize why some people (myself included) just can't anymore. It's the same as with BTH (live) and BID all these years ago (as Mark pointed out). Also, I find it funny that YouTube comments are now a thing to go by, apparently. Again, "THE CRIMSON CHAPTER" is cool and I loved the live sessions (although 5 is enough to my liking) because both have interesting concepts behind them. But I'm not ovulating just because an artist I like drops ANYTHING "new". Also also: Shoutout to JZLP: The nu metal hate from back in the days certainly connects us :D. I remember reading on pushmeaway what other artists thought about LP and there was so much bashing, it was hard for a 16 year old hardcore fan.

deanowardust Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 it's gone from him creating a song a day. to him using 1 song over an entire year and milking it as much as possible. We've seen both sides. I prefer him being prolific and showing how quickly he can turn around a song and finish it/get it in a decent structure. I'm not sure what the aim of milking Already Over is, it does feel like song abuse at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
