Phoenix says in that new (pretty bad) interview from the Asian press that Emptiness Machine has existed for quite some time.

It's in the rock press to some extent already. https://www.alternativenation.net/chesters-mom-in-trouble-for-attacking-linkin-park/ https://www.facebook.com/altnationnet/posts/pfbid02ng7c2CpxvZFBPBHMhwP1fg7zK3zZpPRsXY4N3SHv3upq4mqges4BTNPjYR2BADR5l?__cft__[0]=AZWvr0Oz49F5IjdNgbKy20xlP7PdS3ndQZ_lv1wtDp8o0hi3L6WiQdy6mmQni-6KChSVMzjjmBDVX8kniEnmGUdfWxDOJFhUsDTXQMxlHhQ5bi7FZlVnz6Ll2CSCWaI3YUrg0plaZNdMU851iDHemNatx7f2SMZJQKh83_Bhb_2vZa2wRywhcvyDBsbOkYLUdgjDcUGLSSWsBiAgDnTCs9j2&__tn__=%2CO%2CP-R https://www.facebook.com/altnationnet/posts/pfbid02mdcTwvhpc4tTQkv5Qs3Jj2NSzHWxa8Z35HqP9y2nNLBs43tEKa18TCyH3kADb4ijl?__cft__[0]=AZUwUIHJX4wyfOlAJMt3l0yi3oBYGQaafdR2RGkhRaybD8LmhW0ilq0amBjo61sYouq3rWwxx6lLuEaYHtiOilW9Bgo-bkDxlLdj9iCeOFYA4YvmFvOWWxzQhJ1FkL8j0e6NWON5s_n268OCVBorBU9NSMyx4IMPEnGQzTozHN1iPHoDPp2ss29N8mDC7D_Jvl9Cr3FG8Q7XGSsofZ_NkJ5t&__tn__=%2CO%2CP-R

Good Things Go is from 2020 (at the latest) so it's not unreasonable to think a lot of these songs could be from any time 2019-now, including parts from collaborators and other songwriters they were working with in that entire timeframe. Honestly since Rob didn't leave the band until at least late 2022 or early 2023, what's surprising is there is no Rob credit on anything on the album since he was actively involved in the band in 2019, 2020, 2021, etc.

Linkin Park appears set to release the third song from their upcoming album From Zero soon. "Over Each Other", track 5, was recently delivered to digital streaming platforms for a release soon. Fans will recognize credits on this song as including collaborator Jon Green (Hollywood Bowl MVP and One More Light album collaborator, as well as Friendly Fire). Matias Mora also has a credit on the song. It is rumored that Joe Hahn may have directed a video for this song as well. There is currently not an exact known release date, but it could be as soon as this week.

To celebrate the 15th anniversary of Dead By Sunrise's Out of Ashes and the release of the digital deluxe edition, LPLive sat down with Ryan Shuck and Amir Derakh of Dead By Sunrise, Julien-K, Orgy, etc to discuss the band, album, and much more. Tune in to hear stories about recording the album with Chester, how "Let Down" was chosen for the inaugural 2005 acoustic performance on television, more about the Las Vegas 2009 show, performing in Linkin Park's encore in 2009, and a lot more. A sincere thank you to Ryan and Amir for being so generous with your time!

Absolutely incredible work. Thank you so much. Will get all of this added.
-
Exciting announcement about this coming from us shortly for Friday.
-
Watched this show in full a couple of times and it's unbelievable how good they are right now.
-
Mark was filming something else at that exact moment, hence this: Check the YouTube description, it's in there. Adam was asking for footage on Twitter.
-
MTM20 box set maybe.
-
The band is doing everything right currently. Releasing a ton of live footage. Releasing new LPTVs which people have wanted for eons. Love to see it all. Would love a digital live EP or something.

It's pretty difficult to do 360 in a stadium - U2 did it with an endstage in a stadium (still 360), Metallica is doing full 360 and Ed Sheeran is doing full 360. You also have to sell way more tickets for that and specifically in the USA that's going to be a problem for LP. Mike said in the Zane Lowe interview they have 3 stages - launch stage (Warner show), 360 arena stage, and the stadium stage. This production should be pretty cool. What would be nice is if the big boxes remain on stage above the band for these upcoming stadiums (and Bogota arena show). In 2025 surely the 360 stage returns in some capacity. No way they did all that work to only use it 5 times, right? They aren't big enough in the USA to play stadiums in every city so they can use the arena stage in 360 to compliment that in certain smaller markets across the country when they tour. Europe, Asia, South America may be stadiums and festivals the entire time because LP is MASSIVE in those markets. Australia - not sure what demand there would look like.

Following Emily Armstrong's recent comments that the band would rehearse this month to add new songs to the setlist for the November shows, Mike Shinoda echoed these comments on Discord on October 3. Emily said in an interview in Korea, that "Two Faced" is really fun live, as well as "Casualty" and "Overflow." She said, "Those three, I think, were the ones we've kinda been talking about… like, really wanting to explore live. Ihink we're gonna do some rehearsals when we get home and, you know, put it into our live set.” Mike said on Discord, "Right now, it's quite a bit of effort to put a new song into the set. Not just the band working it out, but the production (lasers, lights, content). We're working on adding a new song or two." Let's see what they end up playing in Paris, Texas, and South America! Any guesses?
-
No matter what the band's feelings on this are, the press is picking up on it. My point is that this is something people will notice because it's their first tour back. https://www.kerrang.com/live-review-linkin-park-london-o2-arena-emily-armstrong-mike-shinoda "Despite LP not acknowledging their departed singer at any point – which is an interesting decision for their fifth show back, but perhaps understandable considering the online discourse – he has been in the minds and hearts of everybody here"
-
Those are all songs, including Somewhere I Belong, that disappeared from the band's live touring sets for extended periods of time. Entire album cycles - multiple for some of them. Anytime we can get songs like that in the show, including a full Lost in the Echo, is great. The live debuts added on top of that is just the icing on the cake. They nailed it with these sets to start out. They could have easily taken the easy/safe way out with Papercuts/greatest hits only + Emptiness Machine and called it a day.
-
We will get way more album interviews and surely some go into that. Zane Lowe's interview looks like it ends abruptly, aka a part 2 for the album may be coming.
-
Unlikely they play the album in full as others have said but likely they add 2-3 new songs right away as Emily said they are hitting rehearsals shortly for new songs in the set. So, that's already 4-5 From Zero songs for November. Let's see what happens. Unfortunately they just have too many good songs and rotating even Keys, APFMH, and Echo is almost a shame because all 3 songs rock. But, more rotations would be welcome for sure. Play as many songs as possible.
-
They said Brad had a hand in the shows. But as we know before, some members of the band (Rob and Brad are the speculative members) didn't want to play a lot of deep cuts. Well, there are quite a few in the show right now, so the "Brad/Rob factor" (if you call it that) is not that strong. For example now they are playing Keys, My December, Lost in the Echo in full, Points, Lying From You, APFMH, etc. Even in 2017 much of that wasn't played. They rehearsed a TON of songs so we are about to see the sets get pretty wild in 2025.
-
There are backing tracks all over the show - it is what it is. Lying From You, Emptiness Machine, Lost in the Echo, Heavy Is the Crown, etc. Just how it is. LP has used playback in certain scenarios all the way back since 2010. The show sounds great, it isn't a big deal because they are sometimes adding extra vocals on top of some of the sampled layers too by band members. You can't tell at all at the show, only in the videos.
-
Putting it like that, it's definitely the best since 2010. The ATS ones are great. They were very jarring at the time due to Catalyst being SO different (love the song now), so it took a while to grow. The Wretches reception by people was massively positive. But LT, THP, and OML... phew, some bad songs mixed in there (LGM, UIG, etc).
-
The most noteworthy thing here is the setlist is about to change again for the November shows. New songs added in... wonder what all will be rotated. 2025 needs like 3 distinctly different setlists (different openers, closers, songs, etc).
-
A back-to-back album cycle would be really fucking cool like you mention. Coldplay is doing Music of the Spheres, the world tour (years long) and in the middle of the tour releasing Moon Music this Friday. Today in the Zane Lowe interview they said they always intended for it to be a "part 2" album. Two albums from the same creative sessions is a nice idea and one LP hasn't ever done before. They SHOULD have had an EP in 2008 from the MTM sessions, what an absolute shame No Roads Left, Across the Line, Blackbirds, What We Don't Know, Chance of Rain, Pretend to Be didn't get their time to shine.
-
Definitely prefer the rasp on her voice especially in the older LP songs. But totally understanding that performing 2 hour shows, trotting the globe doing so, etc, is not an easy task on someone.
-
Would not be shocked to see this pop up for sale on the LP store or LPU store soon. They surely produced way more than they had for 7 shows.
-
This song is striking a cord with people outside of the LP fanbase. There is an amateur fan video from London with 1.5 million views on it. That is fucking wild even by LP standards. It's also performing well on the radio, like REALLY well already.
