TLTGYA? Wow. It's one of their absolute best songs to me from a song (and message!) perspective. The outro is timeless. But that's the thing about them I guess. 

Listened to TLTGYA live yesterday evening, that’s magic, the harmonies are phenomenal

In my opinion, they have plenty of material or demos featuring Emily ready to be reworked - after all, they were already working with her in secret, behind the scenes in the studio, a few years back. They’ll probably take a break now, then start sorting through that material in the spring, and I reckon the new album will drop in early 2028.

 

As for the sound, that’s obviously a mystery. I’d love a From Zero Part 2, but they might come up with something completely different. Shinoda, as we know, is full of surprises!

Hey I just had a question regarding future albums (unsure if asking in the right place) would any future albums be compared to from zero (like how all of Chester’s albums were compared to hybrid theory/meteora)

Is from zero gonna be Emily’s hybrid theory

Any future albums will continue to be compared to Hybrid Theory and Meteora. From Zero already got that treatment.

I'd generally like one more like From Zero before they do something more left field again. (Which I do want them to do for LP10!)  From Zero is an odd album as the record was built as the band was being rebuilt. And I think "doing it again" with the current six members fully involved in the creative process from the start is going to produce great results if Up From The Bottom is anything to go by.

FROM ZERO sound was more like step 1 for the band - LP9 would be more polished, refined FZ sound.

Kintsugi could be a super cool album name and visual theme for everything related to the new cycle. The band likes to refer to this art. Unshatter, Joe's last interview, the name of the interlude from the set. I'm curious if it wasn't a hidden candidate for what eventually became FZ. To be honest, I would like such a theme on LP9. Porcelain band members, broken and glued together with gold inserts.

 

I know, I know, it was supposed to be about music XD

 

I'm curious to see what the dynamics in the band will look like. As we saw in Unshatter/LPTV FZ was produced by Mike with Colin's support. Later, when everyone else was rehearsing, Brad start to be 100% involved in the production, and he and Mike did a lot of work/rework.Three producers in one band is probably not very common. But wait, wait. Since the band was visiting the studios during the tour. It was Brad who was sitting at home again. So the process will be similar. XD but seriously I wouldn't be surprised that when Brad unexpectedly showed up at some shows, they were having some sessions in the studios.

Late 2027 release would be feasible. In terms of musical direction, I would like to hear the band doing their own version of VIVA LA VIDA, SGT PEPPERS, or THE BLACK PARADE. Seeing LINKIN PARK wearing some Marching Band uniforms or....... SOLDIER UNIFORMS. Brown Military uniforms, homage to HYBRID THEORY SOLDIER.
