Also, this will be released on June too with some LP music.

It's good because that's the only vinyl record I could get with Paramore's 'Decode' and 'I Caught Myself'.

DBS, LP, MS, FM vinyl records making me broke with these represses. Jesus!

I hope Rob is still part of the band, in some capacity.  If not, I am happy with Dan Mayo to fill that void. His work on PT Tour era was amazing. He's capable of complex chops and drum solos.

I hope that Joe at least will be a part of this. We all know Rob is not available for past seven years so we might see a new drummer, might be Zummo tbh

 Zummo is tight but Mayo has more coverage.

Hahn will be always be Chairman Hahn!

LINKIN PARK, The Album

Releasing 2025

Let's go SELF-TITLED era LINKIN PARK. 

STILL WAITING FOR THE COMEBACK ALBUM. Let's go LINKIN PARK! 

There will be a time that HT will be dissolved and that vocalist guy would want to audition for LINKIN PARK.

Pretty sure they would include the album version of Pushing Me Away 

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

I have a strong feeling that the band will have something in the future, which is not related to album anniversaries. maybe in 2025, they will back to touring (without any new album, it's possible, just like SOAD)

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.

HT20 part 2

 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.

I do not rule out the possibility that the female singer will perform only new material. Except for a few LP songs. It is also possible that they will perform under a new name.

What is it? LINDSAY PARK?

Here's what I did with Chesters Acapella

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.

Why replicate the sound of 20 years ago ? That’s not what I would find exciting TBH

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.

Exactly man

Everything on HT and M sound like they were recorded yesterday.

 

Even the synth sounds that they used they dont sound like something outdated, the drums and guitar sound really nice too.

 

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.

I've always said it, people didn't wanted a "heavy" LP record, they wanted Meteors/HT all over again

 

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?

It happens. There are plenty of artists who got sued for not paying for the samples used in their songs. Black Eyed Peas, Jay-Z, Limp Bizkit, ...

 

There are plenty of so called "legacy acts" who haven't released an album in over 10 years but still tour on a regular basis. You really only need to want to play shows, which Mike has stated that it's off the table for Linkin Park at the moment. The way things are going, it seems more likely for them to release new songs than to tour. Basically what Mike has been doing with his solo career, releasing random singles but playing no shows at all.

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?

Yes this would be nice. And anthems like Faint or In The End, Mike can do his parts and let the crowd sing Chester’s. Or if they have touring bands, maybe guest vocalist? Would be cool. There is a lot of stuff they could play with Mike as main frontman too. They also don’t need to do 2 hour + shows if they don’t want to. 

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.
