Such a good album, easy contender for album of the year for me. Hard to rank and this isn't definitive by any means, but right now my ranking is: 1. Good Things Go 2. Two Faced 3. Heavy Is The Crown 4. Overflow 5. Casualty 6. The Emptiness Machine 7. IGYEIH 8. Over Each Other 9. Cut The Bridge 10. Stained

Omaha show the day before my birthday! Hopefully tickets aren't egregiously expensive.

Cool bro. I also have friends in the music industry who, sonically, would fit in Linkin Park pretty well if the goal was to replace Chester, but instead of bitching, I'm celebrating "the chick singer" as you call her. Is she Chester? No, and neither are any of my friends or your "friends." But she has a powerful voice of her own - like Chester had - and fits well within the band's chemistry - like Chester did - and that's far more important than simply having "the guy that does the thing the same way the other guy did the thing."

Yeah they can go low! In fact, With You and Runaway off Hybrid Theory were both played on 7 strings in B standard. Don't Stay is in Drop B, I believe Somewhere I Belong is actually in A# standard on a baritone, and the new song, Heavy Is The Crown, has rhythm guitars in Drop A, which I believe is their lowest tuning thus far! That being said, Dave seemingly isn't tuning any lower than Drop C# on this tour and his part on Heavy Is The Crown is largely in the same octave as the rhythm guitars. Also, little fun fact, speaking of tunings and key changes: Lost in the Echo is being played in a higher key live - two full steps higher than the original - but where the original was in Drop D, Mike is now playing it in Drop A!

Also Mike Elizondo's name is there, the guy who Mike Shinoda said was their top candidate as a bass player when Phoenix left. But Phoenix is on there too. Really interesting that Colin and Emily aren't there, either.

The key is changed, in other words the pitch of the songs is different. Emily's vocal range sits higher than Chester's, so she can't hit the lower notes that he can. Some songs have a drastic change, like Somewhere I Belong, which was originally their lowest tuned song at Drop A# (I think, someone correct me if I'm wrong) and is now being played in Drop D or Drop C#, about 2 1/2 or 3 full steps higher than original. Some are less drastic, like Faint, being played a half step higher than original. That being said, some songs are played in the original key, like Lying From You. The benefit is that Emily can sing the songs easier, as the vocal melodies fit more comfortably within her range and she doesn't have to strain to hit the lower notes that are out of her comfortable range. A lot of bands do this, however they usually lower the key of their songs so they don't have to strain to hit higher notes. LP did this at the tribute show when Oli Sykes did Crawling. This is a rare instance of a band raising the key of the songs, hence why people are so thrown off by the changes.

No way. The rumor is that it's Healing Foot ft Twenty One Pilots. The full screenshot shows how fake it is.

Per this post on Jeff's Instagram 6 weeks ago: Someone commented asking "Sooo how come nothing ever came of this? Legal issues?" and he responded "no just time and family stuff just when I was starting the LP stuff. But I’ll get to it soon. Thx !" Still not hoping for much, but at least there's an update.

There are tons of ways to make actual tributes, people have been doing so for years. Throwing a song into a website and making someone else sing it is lazy and morally questionable at best. Like Wilderness said, is deepfake porn okay if you call it a "fan tribute"?

Lost was released in 2023 and is the newest single on it minus Friendly Fire. That's where the 2023 comes from.

That green art is the single cover for Friendly Fire, the album art is seemingly the white one that everyone hates that's on the FF snippet.

No, they're referring to what was recorded during the Hybrid Theory sessions, which they're correct about, according to Jeff those three had at least live drums recorded. High Voltage didn't have live drums and as far as demos having live drums, the only demos that did have live drums to my knowledge were the Xero songs Esaul, Rhinestone, and Pictureboard (which Chester recorded over as well), Fiends, one version of the In The End demo that was excluded from HT20, and "Part of Me", "Carousel", and "And One" off of the Hybrid Theory EP.

I'll take anything at this point from a band that's only released anniversary boxsets over the last 7 years. Plus it's almost gotta come with some news about LP's future and I think that's what people are most looking forward to.

In case you aren't aware, there is a short clip of a Xero live show with Mark here.

Foreword isn't a song that would be mixed on its own.
