Very cool! Thanks for putting it out for us. Would be so fun to have a light-hearted episode about "worst choices" in their career, like the GATS music video and such.

not having a new modern mix for QWERTY was a wasted potential. Anyways, many casual people will have their minds blown.

i bet he heard someone talking about Mike's Already Over Sessions and got all mixed up.

Oh, nice! The band does deserve a big biographic material.

Is there any sign of QWERTY turning out into a single?

There's a whole genre right now that's basically early Linkin Park. All those new "post-metalcore" bands are clearly heavy-influenced. Just play the playlist "The Core" on Spotify and you will basically hear modern-faster-Linkin Park.

Isn't it a bit sad how we hype so much for a new release, then 1 week after it's realeased the magic is gone? It's a bittersweet feeling, like i'm taking things for granted. Best example of this was Pictureboard, i think. 2 decades craving for it, and after the release it all just gets behind like it never happened or meant much.

Everything feels rushed, really. The MS Already Over campaign felt like it would last longer (the first Studio Sessions had a 1month interval between them, and the 2 or 3 last ones had 1 week). The Critters thing (his website game) also ended abruptly and some prizes are still to be acknowledged and delivered. Definitely something odd happened here. But hey, let's enjoy! Thank you so much for releasing one more song with Chester ❤️ that's all that matters.

FF is a good song, good energy there. Feels redemptive. Will probably be a mainstream success.

Qwerty was a surprise. I'm curious to see how a heavy song will perform within the mainstream. Would be cool a new Qwerty mix! About the artwork, the album cover is ok. A little bit lazy, but fine. The Friendly Fire one we have is weird. Weird color, weird type that don't seem to harmonize. And the ugly elypse element thing (that i totally remember Maddocks tried some stuff like that in the past, in those scrapped logos and elements for the past album cycles) About the THP missing, i can totally see a 10 year deluxe edition celebration incoming with a proper release and better marketing campaign than the original release.

would be cool to have a 10 year re-release of THP. Since the original marketing campaign was awful, they have an opportunity to reissue the album with 2 or 3 b-sides.

Band members, management and label are fully aware that leaving this blank space in the 14th track would create some mayhem in the hardcore fanbase. Do they have something to live up to the hype they are creating? The artwork in all of this feels so amateur it doesn't indicate anything big coming up. But we already have the confirmation of Friendly Fire. Odd stuff.

1. Announce a Greatest Hits collection - people remember what the band was and sounded like. 2. Insert a never-released song there from the last album cycle. 3. Promote it everywhere, generates a lot of attention (Lost-like). 4. Beautiful homage to put an "ending" in the old era. 5. Release a brand new song, promoting the start of a new era. Single out everywhere. 6. "Mike Shinoda and Friends" was all along a placeholder for Linkin Park coming back.

The supposedly new song being #14 on the tracklist seems so off. Right in the middle, between two randon songs. Doesn't fit even with the start/end of a vinyl side. Odd choice.

And this message right here gets buried in the middle all the non-sense. So expected release is Feb 22?

As I recall, RU was on Need For Speed (flopped movie), not FF franchise.

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"

A Brazilian fan page called Road To Revolution BR is saying the Singles Collection is coming apr 12, and Friendly Fire os being release this month

Hm, a big Brazilian fan page is saying Frank Maddocks and other visual artist were involved and it's a new OML single.

I'm trying not to get excited over a random forum post. But i'm god damn hyped.

It's not about us dividing it the way we think we should. THEY (Mike/Warner/Management) divided it into all that many tracks. That's canon. As just as all LT songs being in ALL CAPS is canon too.

RTN rock version is freeeesh af. We need the full song. Great musicians and good AO version for a one special take for fun, but i agree it would bee too much for a real studio recording.

Go to japan, weird shit happens. That's a rule.

These session were such a great marketing idea, an almost genius strategy i would say, but it didn't brought the amount of result i bet they thought it would. Pairing up with big influencers of different medias (youtube, tiktok, instagram), knowing all of them would make lots of content about the session. Amazing potentially viral idea. The session are getting no more than 200k on youtube and AO on spotify hasn't even crossed the 10 million mark. Weird. They're probably releasing all of them faster now just to get it over and done. I think TOKYO is the one we know is still left, right?

i would blindly guess all of the Sessions were made with different takes.
