It's like they're pushing more away their fanbase, literally.

Imagine next year would be WB releasing another compilation called LINKIN PARK: THE BALLAD COLLECTION 1. My December (Piano Version) 2. Pushing Me Away (Piano Version) 3. Shadow of the Day 4. The Messenger 5. Robot Boy 6. TINFOIL+POWERLESS 7. In Between 8. Final Masquerade (Acoustic) 9. Valentine's Day 10. I'LL BE GONE (Primo rework) - this could be their lead single 11. Burning in the Skies 12. ROADS UNTRAVELED 13. The Little Things Give You Away

No album but EP would be plausible. Testing the waters with few new materials with Shinoda on vocals or sprinkled with BBB vocals too.

I think only streaming and digital versions are the only ones using the album versions. However, CDs and LPs are new altered cut of the album versions without the transitions in order to segue to the next track smoothly.

ha! now that you mentioned that. I haven't opened my HT20 since 2020. I don't even know what copies I have. What error does HT20 have? is there a misprint?

lemme check mine. I haven't opened my CD yet. I'm still waiting for the cassette and the splatter vinyl to arrive.

What is it? LINDSAY PARK?

Damn, it's like fast food. Instant delivery.

Another shitty cashgrab by WB.

who?

No one does it better than LINKIN PARK. They master that sound and no one will be able to replicate that sound other than LINKIN PARK themselves.

Because it's their true SIGNATURE sound? why pretend to be somebody else when you have the starpower of HT and Meteora. Heck, LP could've had been bigger than Coldplay or Taylor Swift today.

I don't mind an old-school LP album with Shinoda as a lead singer as long it's in the style of Nobody's Listening, High Voltage (HTEP), etc. Give Joe Hahn something to do beside pressing the MIDI. Let him scratch like he used to.

Nailed it. Those sounds defined LINKIN PARK. MTM, ATS were cool experimentations but HT/MET will always be their SIGNATURE SOUND. It's 2024 but it's still sound fresh and unique for a 20+ year old albums.

What about Mike Shinoda's Post Traumatic orange vinyl that was rumoured few months ago?

Fair enough. Are bands supposed to comply their contracts? and part of that is that, every new song, you go on tour, promote the hell out of it. I know, we are currently living in a dystopian LP era because of what happened, so WB probably amended their contracts? or did I miss something?

A tour is possible if only and ONLY if they make a comeback. A comeback tour means there should be a comeback album to promote. Unfortunately, for a comeback album, it needs to be a universal album where the music, the lyrics, the production should be catchy and anthemic with MS doing the lead vocals. It needs that familiarity of CLASSIC LP sound but also a bit of experimentation here and there.

With LINKIN PARK shows moving forward, they will have every opportunity to dig deeper into their catalogs. Mike could revive the HIP-HOP medley, High Voltage in full, heck even majority of Reanimation because it's been re-imagined HT as hip-hop/electronica. Mr. Hahn can have 10 minutes of highlights with Rob Bourdon (probably Session). Bring Phoenix to showcase his cello skills or let him play the violin part of In Between. Each members have their own moment to shine.

how did you know all about these information?

Totally messed up. I can't believe that they are booked for Rock in Rio for festival show.

This is a sign that LINKIN PARK is still missed by many. A comeback album would be even bigger if the time is right. P.S. - What will going to happen to the HYBRID THEORY band when the real, legit LINKIN PARK comes back?

1. Stopped working with Don Gilmore - With third release, they can go bigger than HT and Meteora combined. Could even bigger than Rick Rubin's Minutes to Midnight. If we got, let's say BRONTICUS as their third album with Don Gilmore, easy commercial success. 2. Worst decision for stating that, "We don't make albums like we used to, We check the list of collections of songs and release it as an album" - They should've had take risk after ATS. Go crazier with their sound. Releasing LT was a total regression from ATS and I was disappointed when it came out. 3. Self-producing THP - God, they couldn't even get someone to guide them with that album. They should hire an external producer. 4. Decision-making in choosing songs that ended up in OML (album) - FF is the pure definition of pure LP sound. The drums are crisps and articulated, the production is top-notched and no trap beat sounds quirking in the background. 5. Mike being avoidant with Hybrid Theory and Meteora sound - It's clear that they were exhausted with those sounds. But Mike should remember that they are on top above everyone else with that sound. No one can do better with that sound beside LINKIN PARK. He got cocky lately with his statements that revisiting that sound is not challenging anymore. He added that it's gonna take him 30 minutes to write an album with that CLASSIC LP sound.

That's why Rick Rubin sucks. He ruined the song. I miss Don Gilmore so bad. Everything he touches turns into instant CLASSIC.

We just want a new CLASSIC LP Record. No gimmick. just pure CLASSIC LINKIN PARK.

I would've love LOST if they saved it for HYBRID THEORY, part 3. Meteora was Hybrid Theory, part 2.
