I love that song, I wanted it on streaming for so long and I don't own any of the physical release with QWERTY on it so it's another good reason for me to buy the singles collection. I was just saying that is not sure that QWERTY is 14, it's just very likely
bloodbath Posted February 21, 2024 Posted February 21, 2024 If that's a song I don't have on physical format, like Qwerty or Across the Line, I'm happy with it. I don't mind if it's 5 or 10 years old.
OKCrew Posted February 21, 2024 Posted February 21, 2024 It’s QWERTY!! Joe DM’d us. Sorry, I’m loving this marketing campaign!!
Stranger Posted February 21, 2024 Posted February 21, 2024 at this point, i can surely said that WBR really hate THP so much. seems like they hold the grudge till this day. based on the cover art that leaked, i’m pretty sure the band were forced to release this Greatest Hits as soon as possible just to follow up the successful of LOST & METEORA20 last year.
LinkinPark2020 Posted February 21, 2024 Posted February 21, 2024 I'm wondering if we'll get a music video for Friendly Fire like the one we got for Lost last year?

RentEznor Posted February 21, 2024 Posted February 21, 2024 Slightly disappointed it’s not an unheard song and it’s just a track that has been officially and technically available for nearly 18 years. Also yeah wtf, no THP involvement? As much as I still have many gripes with that album, it is important to acknowledge its existence on a release like this.

I could see them saying "the compilation deserved representation from the LPU, and QWERTY was always a standout" or something like that Edited February 22, 2024 by wesleylpbr
linkindan Posted February 22, 2024 Posted February 22, 2024 Ok, but 2023? Have they remastered Friendly Fire from the 2016/17 master?

Lost was released in 2023 and is the newest single on it minus Friendly Fire. That's where the 2023 comes from. Edited February 22, 2024 by HFL377
OKCrew Posted February 22, 2024 Posted February 22, 2024 It’s so interesting seeing this discussion devolve into the THP “snub.” A few years ago i started a thread about what my Greatest Hits CD would look like, and i was actually hung up on including at least one track from every album. I actually made a poll for ppl to vote for which should get the final spot based on what they felt was most well-known to non-LP fans, and it was out of like Papercut, LOTR, and a few others. A lot of the responses i was getting in the thread was ppl saying that they would cut THP completely in place of some of the other songs.

It seems weird the band themselves would omit an album entirely. They are picking LOATR, OML, Friendly Fire, and QWERTY over Catalyst, something from THP, Given Up which almost everyone knows belongs to LP, etc. The choices are a little odd. Of course they need a song to push sales so they chose Friendly Fire, but they probably should have done more songs for this or at least put one THP song in.
leftshoe18 Posted February 22, 2024 Posted February 22, 2024 I'm not gonna lie. I'm kind of disappointed it ended up just being QWERTY. Like, what's the point of the secrecy for a song we already have? Unless it's a different version of it, it seems pointless to do that.
Hybrid1988 Posted February 22, 2024 Posted February 22, 2024 (edited) I always imagined an expansive 2 cd/record package for a greatest hits. I guess it's an easier sell to just market 1 disc. more affordable and all that. What I expected: Papercut OSC Points (maybe even replace with Reanimation version) Crawling In The End SIB Faint BTH FTI Numb Lost Given Up LOATR BIO SOTD WID New Divide BITS WFTE Iridescent Catalyst LITE BID COG UIG Final Masquerade TTM Heavy OML Friendly Fire Edited February 22, 2024 by Hybrid1988
arcyy57 Posted February 22, 2024 Posted February 22, 2024 (edited) QWERTY being 14 is not what I had expected at all lol. Then again, it leaves us more room for Minutes To Midnight 20th if they were to do so. (Odd though, why leave a very well known track for the last? Unless it's the marketing then sure, still.)

Andros Posted February 22, 2024 Posted February 22, 2024 I wonder if this QWERTY release is the same LPU version or it will be a different version

It feels a lot original that way
bloodbath Posted February 22, 2024 Posted February 22, 2024 Here's the deal: LP has two main audiences. The hardcore fans, aka: lurkers of this page, and casual fans. The boxsets were meant for us, even the success of Lost was totally unexpected. But now isn't the time for us, is for the casual fans who haven't heard of Qwerty. Yes, there are people who in 18 years haven't had the time, the occurrence or whatever it is, to discover the song. You have the right to feel disappointed, but this isn't meant for us.
