Don't get your hopes up.

That won't happen sadly.

I'm ok with QWERTY being #14. 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

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. 

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.

Hardly confirmed, Joe is just teasing the title, and it's not really a tease as much as it is the word QWERTY so idk

 

But it does make sense to me since it's probably their most popular LPU song. I could see them saying "the compilation deserved representation from the LPU, and QWERTY was always a standout" or something like that

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.

Lost was released in 2023 and is the newest single on it minus Friendly Fire. That's where the 2023 comes from.

Yeah so, I’m being evicted for filing a breach of duty and requesting urgent repairs - my head didn’t process Lost being on it aha

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.

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

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.)

I'm wondering if we'll get a music video for Friendly Fire like the one we got for Lost last year?

it will be, now with the Mike using AI to generate videos. they should just use footages from studio sessions / behind the scenes instead. It feels a lot original that way

 

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.
