LT era filler, imo: SKIN TO BONE, UNTIL IT BREAKS (loved Brad's part tho), VICTIMIZED (does not fit to the rest of the album, track could fit in THP)
THP filler tracks: War, The Summoning, Drawbar.
That's how you kill a hype. LP knows how to build that hype. Once it started, there's no slowing down. Just like last week, That's good that I watched the livestream first before listening to the studio version of TEM. I got chills listening to TEM (live), you know it's LP but it's a mystery, you don't know what to expect and that's perfect.
I LOVE THE ALBUM HYPE AND PROMO. I think this is the best era in terms of album announcement. new single then album in 2 months. Unlike other bands like Coldplay, you have to wait four months for the album to drop, announced first single in June and album in October? that's a long wait.
I kept saying this before that this could link to Transformers One OST.
Transformers: Rise of the Beasts (2023) came out in 9th of June 2023, the OST was announced and released on 1st of June 2023.
This animated film is called Transformers One (2024). Remember that day when the IG post caption, "IT'S A MATTER OF TIME" which is taken from the song In the End. First line of the song - "IT STARTS WITH ONE". hinting possibly to the title Ø (zero) XERO - what's next after zero? ONE - LINKIN PARK
Boom! This^
LINKIN PARK is definitely felt like a B(R)AND. The name is huge, there's no way they would abandon that name. The synergy between the name and music really defines LINKIN PARK as long as Shinoda is steering the ship.
