To add my 2 cents in. History and fame speak for Chester at this point. Is there REALLY a need to mention Chester at this Pheonix show? Chester is a goat. EVERYONE knows who he is, and where he is from as far as LP fans and even casualties (my name for the casuals). However, the possibility that haters LIKE JAMIE BENNINGTON attending new LP concerts to start crap, is VERY possible right now. Do LP want Emily to get boo'd on stage? Do LP want to spark social media posts about Chester's mention, effectively causing more combative behavior in every comment section related to every post about this mention? I swear, some of you need to fucking think deeper before acting like no mention = disrespect. It's not about forgetting Chester, it's more about crowd control, and media control for the sake of the current health / mental well being of it's newest members. It's only been 1 year, go anywhere online and look at the comments. It's just TOO SOON and unfortunately, we live in a world where honoring a past band mate will actually cause more problems and fuel fires because a new one now exists. Now, with all that being said, LP might still do it... good for them and I hope it satisfies you whom are concerned about it, but the consequences of doing that are still fact. It's up to the band if they want to take a few hits or not right now. They already had an entire show dedicated to Chester, and apparently some of y'all haven't accepted that. There was a BETTER time and place, and that was the Hollywood bowl show.

LMAO! I see now. xD

For me it felt like I was jabbed with a revive stim after the countdown took me out. 😂 I watched the whole thing with speakers blasting in my home studio. I had the LPlive chat box open and experiencing it with many of yall. That epic return was some emotional shit. It was funny watching the speed of their YouTube chat 😂 holy crap.

I’ll be there!! 😎🤘🏼 Also, pretty crazy to think I was also at their last show here in Florida in January 2015. That was a solid show inside a big indoor Arena. Now, I get to see them outside at night 🔥🔥

This song def sounds like it was written for a closer, similar to Good Things Go. I mean, I don’t know if they band actually think like that (to intentionally make a song that sounds like the last song) but obviously when picking out the tracklist order, one of them feels like the best pick. It makes sense why this is now officially the last song on the album. My absolute favorite song on the album to.

I really love the part at the very end with just the bass and the melody you did there. It’s very fitting and the vibe it gives reminds me a lot of Hybrid Theory era demos, songs like Could Have Been come to mind.

The album cover is sick right!? It’s been my phone and desktop wallpaper for a while, even when it was just the sketch version in all white. But once the version with colors was finished I had a major LP nerd moment lol!

I'll be featured on ''By Myself'' and '' X-Ecutioner Style'' As well as having mixed & mastered ''Ntr-Mission'' on this record. I hope you all enjoy the new vocals!

imagine living in that corner house and peeking out the window and a wild linkin Park appears across the street lmao

LMAO

I can totally see them releasing an acoustic ep of some FZ songs. It would work out great, just like TEM acoustic. I LOVE final masquerade acoustic, it sounds so damn good.

Yeah this sounds about right. Very intentional and strategic marketing. I can’t wait to hear this banger premier in the car radio

the original trilogy is currently for free on YouTube movies and i binge watched them and it's sooo nostalgic seeing how they fused LP's music within certain scenes. It was so cool hearing and seeing that in theaters at the time. It made the music feel even bigger than it already was. I agree, they fit with transformers flawlessly.

It makes perfect sense to release a Deluxe FZ... It's simple marketing. Who wouldn't want to increase the longevity of their album's release and relevancy ESPECIALLY when it's already doing well to begin with? Sure, they could do a double album (a new complete record) but i think their genius for putting together FZ with that quick and snappy track list and make it a short fuse. And then extend the album to a more complete picture a little later on with extra singles that I bet are going to be bangers (assuming it will be more than one song). It feels like we're still in the middle of the album's release this way, and not something of the past anymore. I love that personally. Anyways, still don't know exactly what it actually is, but it's a safe guess at this point, and kind of obvious to. We might get more music videos this way! Maybe another video game collab, or a return to transformers a bit down the road with one of the new tracks.

Lol 😂 I really want to try Mike’s families Chicken Wing recipe now. Wings are my all time favorite thing to eat 😋 too bad that recipe will forever be a family secret. It’s probably made with 10% luck, 20% skill, and some salt.

Great news!! Can’t wait to hear it premier on my local rock station wjrr 🔥🤘🏼while I’m out and about.

I seriously love the authentic and actual approach to this album Art. It’s an artwork that stands out amongst the rest of their discography. Not only in the way it’s created, but the feeling it gives off. It’s almost unidentifiable, it’s weird, it’s different, it makes you wonder…. That’s how you introduce a new era with a new album. Something different and unique. The digital feel is now becoming the new old, while the older way (using real sources) is becoming more innovative with our current technology, thanks to the example LP set in this LPTV and overall album design.

After a few listens. It’s now a song I’m obsessed with but trying to take in and savor it with fewer listens until the album. I noticed something though… that something felt familiar about the song in a stylistic sense that reminded me of another band, and finally they came to mind. Oreo sounds like a beta state song kind of. Just more up to date. https://youtu.be/K2QAQ5ZsEKw?si=wa03Ri7mqe0LH8WO

The cool thing is, you're still showing up here with the rest of us and giving the new music a very graceful chance in this new Era. You're a true LP fan. I had to go into ATS album knowing i wasn't too excited about their drastic style change, but i stayed and learned to appreciate the different music over time, and it's still growing on me! ATS of all albums, is the one I won't ever get used to. All in all, we have our fav eras and our least fav Eras, and that's part of being a genuine fan of any band.

Well said, all of it. That's all i can say. I agree completely.

Though I know you feel strongly about LP moving on without Chaz, it’s cool to see you around here. I feel like you haven’t frequented here for a while. Anyways! Everyone opinion is welcome 🙏🏻

The only thing that came to mind was that it looks like some sort of “growth” 🤣🤮 I guess it’s a Linkin Park growth. 💀

I think, this is going to be one of their new hits. I loved it on first Listen. Like i mentioned in live chat, Emily's melodies feel super Linkin Park, and we all have the ear for that when we hear it, and it's what makes us love an LP record. I think the mixing is great, very big sounding. The song reminds me of ''What are you worth'' in places, as others have also mentioned. It has a good blend of all there era's while delivering a new era to our ears (Emily's vocals). Overall, i can't decide what song i like the most out of the 3 so far. That's how i know this record is shaping up to be one of my favorites.

What's going on in that artwork? I can't tell what I'm looking at lol.

lmao
