The lead single of an album is meant to be the song that captures the attention of fans (wether diehard or occasionals) and a way to present the record. With our fav band LP, we sometimes faced great choices, weird ones and simply not convincing picks. I personally think it this way, going on for each record: 1. OSC: this falls in the middle, it's not a bad choice IMO, presented the band with that aggressive/nu metal sound that was super popular, but on the other hand I think many will agree that OSC is one of the weakest songs off the record. 2. SIB: Good choice, radio friendly for the time and displays the band's highlights. It may not be the best song on the record but cool choice. 3. WID: perfect choice to display the change in sound, very representative of MTM philosophy (more rock, less nu metal) and a major hit for the band. 4. The Catalyst: super risky move, one of my fav LP songs, but they took a high risk picking a song that's not radio friendly at all. WFTE as a 2nd single was very appropriate to balance that. 5. BID: not the strongest song on the record IMO (I'd put it just above a couple of other songs off LT) but it was a massive hit, so I guess it was the right move. I'd have picked IMR as second instead of LITE, looking at things from a "commercial" POV. 6. GATS: disastrous choice IMO, the song is good and I know the band wanted to drop it as 1st single going VS the label, but the song sound and that Project Spark video made it the least succesful first single of their career. Another risky move, but managed in a less "clever" way than Catalyst. I'd have picked Rebellion as 1st single, still heavy but more radio appealing. 7. Heavy: this is the weird one, in its studio version the song is easily one of the weakest songs on the album (even tho I like it) and even hardcore fans always put it in the weak side of the record (with stuff like GG) but I think it was a quite good choice commercially, because it entered Billboard and stayed there for months and got pretty good radio play. What's your opinion you guys? Disagree with me? Show me your thoughts;)

Lol

I exactly thought this, let’s keep posting little updates that are basically not new-post worth until the bigger news comes out (first single release date/album name/album release date...). Dave Navarro working with them is great yeah, I love how they keep working with rock artists from the 90s, they keep the vibe of the original music.

He’s Geki

Didn’t know that 😊

UAAAA AAAHH AHHHA AAAAH AHH (I didn’t know how to mimic chipmunk sound)

I want you to make a SFN night core version make me happy 😂😂😂😇😇

That Powerless remix ... yikes

Ok I listened for the 1st time in like 6 years to the abortion called “Lies Greed Misery” Dirtyphonycs remix, and I changed my mind: it’s less terrible than these remixes for 3 reasons: 1 the original song is better; 2 it’s not done by Mike but by a fan that happens to be a Dj; 3 at least it tries to do SOMETHING with the song and not just slow/reverb or faster. It’s A LOT MORE, the difference between a 3.5/10 and a 1/10.

This would be dope, absolutely dope, instead of a standard Greatest Hits

Agree with you, in fact my post was not “I wish they dropped a greatest hits” but asking an opinion 🙂 I agree with you that a CD with standard versions of ITE, OSC, Crawling, Numb, SIB, BTH, WID, LOATR, BIO, SOTD, The Catalyst, ND, WFTE, BID, COG, FM, Heavy (arguably) would be quite pointless

I was asking myself, as a fan, would I enjoy the idea of a LP greatest hits, would i buy it ? It’s interesting because in a “collection” perspective it’d be cool, but would feel somehow strange (independently from the fact that Chester passed away). What do you guys think ? Share your opinion.

The deluxe boxset is 70€, you can order on Loma Vista site or on Amazon . 😃

Agree.

At least some ways to do a cashgrab (if that’s cashgrab) are not shitty TikTok things man 😄

Is that you JZLP ?

The joke was to release it a day later. It’s Mike, he is genius in trolling

ShinodaLive

Definitely agree on this. This release is clearly made to widen his audience, like it or not, that’s the purpose.

God the night core version is terrible, but the slow/reverbe one makes me feel dumb while listening to it lol

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

I accept your fucking apologies 😂😊

The night core and the slow + reverb remixes are terrible, I mean we got bad official remixes of LP songs like the ALTNC EP or stuff like LGM, Powerless on recharged etc... these 2 remixes fall in the same cathegory IMO. Terrible things I didn’t want to be associated to artists I love and respect.
