So weird. A new Linkin Park song was released and there's less tan 20 comments on this thread. We really start to take things for granted, right? it's inevitable.

Damn, North American sales must be going pretty bad. They are doing a offer right now, random seat tickets for $39,50. Meanwhile in Brazil the cheapest ticket is 500 bucks and LPU Pit ticket is the same of 1 month minimum wage salary.

Mike really is crafting for unique bridges.

Brazil got 3 confirmed venues so far. Sao Paulo, Curitiba, Brasilia. Porto Alegre has been removed most likely. So frustrating, it was the one i was able to go to.

Damn, now i'm scared they'll cut off the one i was ready to go. Already had assigned my vacations for november. This means tickets will be avaiable next thursday already?

Yeah, it's def out there in medium quality. This one really feels like old Paramore, i guess. The bridge is twenty one pilots as fuck, veeeery cool. Could've been on the album, it's a "firecracker" sound. New songs released every 3 months? Count me in!

Great finding

Band had released THP First single title is: HEAVY Then it had Kiiara on it. Could've been better with just Chester. Wouldn't make it good, but less bad i guess. I remember vividly in this album cycle Mike posting on instagram that he wanted to make lots of plot twists with this release. We wanted the fans with the surprised pikachu face. He specifically made an analogy to the expectation of opening a pokeball on pokemon go. So i guess all those "surprises" of not being heavy and going for a pop side were very very very intentional, but backfired. They thought Sorry For Now was going to be THE GREATEST LINKIN PARK SONG EVER, because it's supposed to be so unique. But the production choices were already outdated by the time the song was released.

Exactly, it's all about the hi-hat dynamics. https://www.songsterr.com/a/wsa/linkin-park-easier-to-run-drum-tab-s11850

LP drums are not hard. But they never intended to be (maybe in The Hunting Party). Rob knew how to play for the song, or "in the pocket". He didn't have much finesse, or volume/speed dynamics. He's more of a "locked on" player, straightforward. But that's what LP songs are... straightforward. Many LP songs have the same groove/beat through the whole song, just differing on the bridge, the chorus being just the verse with hit-hat open or something like that. Many LP songs from HT/MT era have a 16th hi-hat sample beat, but Rob is really playing 8ths under it. This is one of the "Linkin Park tricks to sound like Linkin Park". About my top 5, not in order: Papercut has a great beat. It's hip hopish, it's metalish, it's punkish... it's pure "hybrid theory". Somewhere i Belong has a very nice groove and some cool licks. GATS was the first time we heard "all his potential". The Little Things Give You Away is weird, i like that a lot. The Catalyst is a little hard to play, the beat seems offtime. The kickdrum pattern if fucked up over that punk beat on the hands. Not gonna mention Easier To Run cause this is the one everyone mentions.

The way the music industry works right now, bands need to keep releasing stuff every 6 months or so. More frequently even. Generally speaking, smaller and frequent releases beat full length albums every 2 years on this industry.

Can't wait for the documentary of this recording cycle! Uncovering how those songs started and built into the final pieces.

The production level in this band is an absurd. Everything is pristine.

Damn, that white paint spilled on the socks wasn't a good idea... there are other things socks are famous four having white stains among teenagers.

Emily forgetting lyrics and having to look at the prompter all the time hahhaha Show note, believe it or not: Emily played turntables in Two Faced intro.
