GATS = something that sounds like A7X Rebellion = of course it's SOAD sound War = punk rock style like Sum 41 AFN = it does sounds like Helmet All those bands are different to each other but you can claim it as "same rock band sound".

RYG4R Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 THP will turn 10 in few months time. I'm not surprised if WB doesn't promote any THP 10th anniversary merch, materials or demos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KiddIsAlive Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 (edited) There is no chance that either Final Masquerade or Wastelands (or both) don't end up in the Collection. The former still enjoys occasional radio plays internationally on rock/alternative stations, the latter was the one song from THP they kept in the setlist for the OML Tour (and I'm gonn say that's a shame, to balance the THP hate a bit :P).

Somebodyangry Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 If there’s something from THP, it has to be Final Masquerade, in a GH mindset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alee Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 If anyone remembers Backstreet Boys Greatest Hits - Chapter One. It had one New single at that time Drowning. The rest were their hit singles. By the looks of discussion so far, feels like LP are doing the same thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no need to be this disrespectful towards an album. Or I guess you can be, but as a reminder: there are people out there who do enjoy the album, and have great memories linked with it - and that'd include me. Like, OML is a record that doesn't appeal to me as much as the rest of LP discography, but I know some other enjoy it, and I can respect that and simply say "well yeah, this specific record wasn't my thing".

Trumtram Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 I quite like the sound of THP. Guitars and drums sound really cool on stuff like GATS, KTTK or ALITS to me. I can see why people dislike Chester's vocal sound. Overall the album is rather good than bad IMO. It lacks identity and cohesion and does have weaker moments but also strong ones. But I agree that Mike's way of promoting the album was hella cocky and shitty with calling out all the "pop" artists only to come out with OML a couple years later. I'd probably rank it below average on LP's discography. Their first four albums had the most quality to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chazy987 Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 Among other things, since the last live on Twitch Mike has gone completely silent and has never posted anything again, even and especially after the explosion of the Rumor of the possible Singles Collection. A signal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leftshoe18 Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 The Hunting Party is dope as hell. It’s like heavy A Thousand Suns. I think the production could have used a little work, but other than that I absolutely love that album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chazy987 Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 Exact. However, I find Mike's marketing for his work strange. Especially the AO Sessions. I didn't understand if they were sped up - along with Endel's junk - because they weren't having the success Mike expected, or because of this "return" of the band. By the way: I can't understand if this possible "SINGLES COLLECTION + UNRELEADWS SONG" was planned or came out at the last minute. I can't really understand Mike's intentions with his solo career, nor the path of the LPs nor the other guys. It's all an unknown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vinifeijo Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 (edited) This discussion is what's awesome and unique about Linkin Park. The band has such a fusion sound that some of the hardcore fans are EDM influenced, some are HipHop influenced and others are Metal influenced. And obviously each one will think album X or Y is waaay better and the "true Linkin Park peak" Edited February 13 by vinifeijo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bloodbath Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 My dislike for OML is well known, BUT I do respect it for the same reason I respect THP: The band and/or Mike had a clear vision for it, they did what their really wanted without caring about the consequences. Where I do draw the line is that THP is more akin to my personal preferences. LT, on the other hand, I've always felt that a sonic Frankenstein, trying to please everyone but archiving none. What do you want? A big hit album, a electronic folk record, another experimental output...? THP and OML seems a reaction to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lpliveusername Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 The Hunting Party could have used some better production or direction. This was a band that has always followed trends trying to self-produce something they were not familiar with. The album could have benefited with an outside producer perspective. Still, the result was fucking awesome. Way better than One More Light or Living Things. 1 hour ago, RYG4R said: Only BID? what about LITE and COG?

Gold and Platinum as you can see here: https://lplive.net/forums/topic/15299-new-lp-music-on-the-horizon/?do=findComment&comment=323873c Saying Living Things didn't have successful singles is either straight up lying or being in denial. 41 minutes ago, Chazy987 said: Among other things, since the last live on Twitch Mike has gone completely silent and has never posted anything again, even and especially after the explosion of the Rumor of the possible Singles Collection.

Kirstie Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 This thread has gone on a real journey. If you have a greatest hits album (why would you even bother in a would of streaming/playlist based listening) then surely you HAVE to have at least one song from each album? To just ignore a whole body of work would be crazy! It'd be an interviewers first question to Mike! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YRQRM0 Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 18 hours ago, Arslan said: iirc, lost was teased 4 days before it got released But I mean the M20 campaign with the "BBB tape" thing came out a lot earlier, there's nothing like that right now Also yeah, greatest hits will most certainly include songs from every album and probably a few from left field that Mike is really proud of or something, like Rebellion. I think RU will be there too since the band seems to really like it and it also had a moment after being in Fast and Furious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
