OKCrew Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Do you guys think it’s safe to assume that on the Double LP, each side will include 5 songs? So Side 1A starts with Crawling, Side 1B starts with In The End, Side 2A starts with One More Light, and Side 2B starts with New Divide?

Hybrid1988 Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Per Mike: "From our first release ‘One Step Closer’ to the brand-new ‘Friendly Fire,’ this tracklist spans all our chapters so far."

Vinescence Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 I just had a silly thought: any chance this release was planned for late 2023? This would make more sense for "This will be a good year for Linkin Park fans", and also the incorrect name, Singles Collection 2000-2023 Quote Link to comment https://lplive.net/forums/topic/15564-friendly-fire-papercuts-singles-collection-2000-2023/page/6/#findComment-325007 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alexonlyalex Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 (edited) I am completely pulling this out of my ass, so I am probably wrong...that being said, I got the feeling that the LP/Warner contract is ending soon and Warner wants to squeeze the cow as much as possible. AFAIK they renew the contract every 10 years or so. I have no idea what would happen if LP won't renew...there might be a shift in royalties, merch rights, distribution rights etc etc. as I said, no idea what would actually happen if they dont sign, but it fits my cow-milking theory.

As mentioned here, the band probably renewed their contract for 5-album deal during OML era. If you count it chronologically; - One More Light LIVE - [HYBRID THEORY] 20 - METEORA 20 - Papercuts - Singles Collection 2000-2023 - ??? Who knows what would be the 5th release on this deal. Idk, it could be the final studio album, who knows.

This would make more sense for "This will be a good year for Linkin Park fans", and also the incorrect name, Singles Collection 2000-2023 I don't think so. 2023 was a good year for LP fans with Meteora20. I don't think wb would plan two "major" release in the same year, They only did that in 2003 and 2017 with a live album following studio album, and I think that was little different from this. Especially because meteora20 and papercuts have the same marketing strategy (new unreleased lp with chester) so wb would want a little time to pass between the two. I'm honestly surprised papercuts came so soon. The fact that the title says 2023 instead of 2024 I think is delibarate. These releases and their campaign are planned way in advance so they would have had the time to correct to 2024 if they wanted to imo.

Something tells me they omitted 'The Hunting Party' for a reason. We know this year that the album is celebrating its 10th anniversary in June. Maybe they are planning something for the album. Just something I was thinking about out loud.

Qwerty18 Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 About Friendly Fire : after a couple more listens, I appreciate the track a bit more, but it is definitely nothing spectacular IMO. One thing that bugs me is how the instrumental gets no space to breath. From second 1, Chester is singing over a nice but forgettable sonic background. Everything feels compressed into the typical mid-tempo verse/chorus/verse/chorus/bridge/chorus structure. Take the same melodic idea, the same guitar layers, the same synths, but play a bit more with the dynamics, add some short but sweet instrumental parts, experiment a bit more, and I'd like the song a lot more. Nothing against the "verse/chorus" thing in itself. But if you go for it, I feel the song need to have other highlights to really shine, and I don't see those highlights here.

LPLStaff Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 Up to 7 vinyls now. That's not a good look when the band their entire career has been so meticulous about every single merch item and thing they put out. OML had what, 3? A normal and 2 others? Looks very cash grabby to do something like that when you have the press and fans running wild about "unreleased song featuring Chester Bennington vocals" combined with the fact the band and label are both VERY aware the LP fans collect every single item with the band's name on it. The attention to detail here the band usually has on physical releases, including HT20 and M20, is just not there for this. You need some degree of sensitivity when something with Chester comes out, for a billion reasons. There are good aspects of this, of course - the Friendly Fire music video is fantastic. But who was really pushing/itching to do a release here? It sure doesn't look like the band, especially coming after Mike's comments about greatest hits collections. There are some personal notes from the band in this - you have to do SOME sort of press or statement when your name is on a release. But for something that comes out with their band's name on it, the attention to detail/care for this doesn't look even remotely comparable to anything the band has ever released previously. Even RECHARGED was significantly better.
