Ah my bad. Sorry about that. But what also plays a part is that rock gets nowhere near the mainstream success it did back in the early 2000s, and with things like internet, pirating, and the ability to buy individual songs, rock music can't possibly sell nearly as well as it did back then. I'm also bothered by the fact that no "Making of..." for THP got released. The band definitely showed interest in releasing one before THP released. At least we are getting these LPTVs.

Embarrassing sales? Are you forgetting both ATS and LT were the best selling rock albums of their respective years? And THP was the 36th most sold album of 2014 (not sure if that's only American sales or World Wide). Which, considering the albums they were up against, was pretty damn good for a hard rock album. I definitely would not call their sales "downright embarrassing." I also remember reading this one article that stated that this is a good way for the band to stay relevant in this world for years to come. I mean, so many rock bands from the early 2000s struggled to keep their popularity (many of them didn't). Linkin Park has always been good with being able to adapt to the world around them while pursuing their own dreams and ideas. To me, this isn't the band selling out. It's what I believe is a step in the right direction. We'll just have to wait to find out if it really is.
