    Not that it's a huge deal compared to the other stuff we got in M20, but...I remember "Attached" coming out in 2016 as a part of LPU 15. It was right around my last year of high school & I have a lot of feelings attached to this demo for some reason. I'm so glad it's on streaming now 🤍.

     

     

    100% - Also, maybe a controversial take, but while the 2003 mix is great for nostalgic purposes (it matches the Meteora mixing more)...I think the new mix was definitely a part of the reason the song popped off so much recently airplay and streaming wise.

     

    Both mixes sound great, but it's not like the new mix was something the label did unilaterally. Mike, Brad and much of the rest of the band were likely involved in the new mix and it really helps breathe new life into the song.

    How is it controversial? People just can't move on when the band clearly has, I'm glad they did. The new one is far superior and fits the idea they had behind the album. This new mix is massive and I'm excited what new roads the band will take, I was wondering what the 2002 would be I thought it was a acoustic or a rough idea. As for those still living in the past let them. Who cares honestly.

    Actually, I find the new mix of Lost a lot better than the old one. I think Chester's vocals in the bridge seem to be more powerful in the new mix. And I don't like scratch samples in the verses and the clicking track in the bridge of the old mix.

    Exactly, 2002 feels empty, whoever made this new mix really Nailed it.

    Cuidado was such a headache to listen especially with the electronic beep boop that reminds me of epileptic techno strobe music. 

     

    Apart from that the album was good. But it'll be forgotten (zing) in a week or so. 

    I retract my last statement. Apart from the completed songs, A6, easier to run and Faint are probably the only demo songs that are good, the rest will get old. I get what they meant when they said most of it was crap, and I agree, although this just shows that the diehard metal head fans are just a otp and their poppier and mellow songs like resolution and massive deserved more but they couldn't do much in that time. Ya know cus their fans are metal heads who want hybrid theory 1 2 3... What a waste these songs are awesome. 

  4. Only people who truly feel like Mike at the time could've sang like him, on this song, being a natural is one thing, words that mean to you. That's the core of singing. Although the breakdown could've been better (sounds like another average nu metal solo) the bridge and the chorus, the melody of it is phenomonal. 

     

    I was wondering where I could find tracks like no roads left and this is it. And easier to run, the instrumentals is mental its Sooooo fucking good. But like limp bizkit their demos are too mellow oriented and pretain to their future selves and I guess they had to dumb it down for the label or record. I'm leaning on the label.

    I'm not the world’s biggest fan of meteora myself (ATS is my favorite), but Christ you come off as an incredibly miserable person. Lighten up. 

    Yeah that's true lmao.

    It's almost like this is a fan site where people discuss the band, and part of the discussion of said band is unreleased music, and Meteora is the current topic considering they're releasing a boxset. As for people wanting a joke song, get over yourself and let other people enjoy things without you whining.

    The only guy who literally wants that one joke song that the band showed once in that one making of is the same guy who I don't know, doesn't need to say it every chance they get while also shitting on the bands actual good records like a thousand sun's for being "poppy shit" so really I have no idea what you're talking about. 

     

    Actually now that an old article came up saying "nocturnal" is an eclectic track like breaking the habit, I really wonder what that is like. 

  6. All these wild assumptions, just wait 4 more days ffs and Y'all see what you're chipping in. 

     

    Personally and I'm interested. Someone should ask after album launch what nocturnal and serpent is really. 

     

    And to be honest people wanting a joke song as a holy grail.... My god. 

     

    Oh yeah before forget to mention, someone should definitely get the stems from Meteora and apply them to the demo songs, for example easier to run. It's edgy but good, I'll never understand why hit the floor and nobody's listening got the privilege to be on the album. 

     

    Yeah Meteora is a meh record, somewhere I belong, Faint, breaking the habit were all solid songs, the rest is just to appease the fans and is a continuation of what they did. I'll never understand why they dropped off healing foot. 

  7. It's not about going against Mark, they have similar tastes but it all comes down to consistency and vocal talent is just another way of saying being able to let out the repressed thought and emotions, obviously it's a natural born gift but it doesn't match up to emotion. And yes Mark doesn't have that. he sounds like a mid 90s philly alt-rock band vocalist. 

     

    Next holy grail? Shit we'll just wait and see about lpu first. I'm more interested in the demo CD's Jeff blue had. Those look complete at least, we get deftest and it's gonna be forgotten (zing!) the very next day. I mean seriously, how briandead do you have to be when even the band themselves think they're trashy "Look here's the rapping part, here's the rock part" like I said, Jeff blue showcased those CDs and they more to offer to us. Since nu metal bands at the time had more mellow pop oriented tracks but scrapped in favor for the trends at the time. 

    But I'll admit p o i n t I l l I s m 

    Is very peculiar. Definitely interesting.

    Literally don't care about the NFTs, have not followed it at all. Thought it was so weird Mike sold a 37 second clip of One Hundredth Stream for $36,000 and all of us thought he was selling the actual song in full lol

     

    There isn't any real downside to him doing NFTs for the LP community. He's releasing music and has made everything available musically to everyone that he's sold as NFTs. So why does it matter that much to us? He pissed off the gamer community but that's their problem they have with him about coming up with hypothetical futuristic situations. He preaches all the time about like, "don't get into NFTs if you don't know what you are doing" to the LP fans. In that regard, he isn't being careless about being a "leader" for some folks in that area.

     

    Just don't see it as such a huge deal when he's always been interested in new technology for pretty much the entire history of the band. We don't pay it any attention since we aren't interested. Some people may like it, so that's fine.

    Agreed. Who gives a rats ass? Obviously people who spend 70 hours a week online spewing out their bullshit when no one irl would care to listen. Besides it's only a trend, a month from now who cares? 

    As long as Mike keeps making Linkin Park it's all good. 

     

  9. Well the only question remains is what is the next holy grail? And its the rest of the xero Chester songs we don't have, I don't know bout yall, mtm would be awesome and I would definitely want to hear chicken basket in its full form. The way mike describes it. 

     

     

    Shit wrong thread

    Which two bands do you mean?

    Bands like Coldplay or fallout boy

    Never listened to them but I see them everywhere

    Interesting take, but in my opinion 2004 was the year that they were the biggest band in the world, it's the image that any person you ask randomly has of Linkin Park. 2007 onwards they were big, but not so much. I agree that OML was a conscious attempt to sit in the throne again, and if Chester hadn't killed himself they might have achieve that, but it's an eternal guessing name. LT was a false step, half of the record was commercially appealing and the other half too weird for not hardcore LP fans. Instead, following the ATS / THP was career suicidal. 

    They would appease the hardcore fans who can't move on with lpu demos but the problem now is I don't think there is 1 person in the world who could fill Chesters shoes not in the meaning of replacing him, someone they could feel unity with, lp has always been a melancholic band their demos reflect this. 

     

    They will definitely start touring again. But a new vocalist? I don't think so, its just too much for him, no matter who it is. Just like Fred durst who got the group together at first they did more poppier demos later on but scrapped them just like Linkin park and he always talked about the pressure of trying something new, either breaking through the mold or failing. Failure was my biggest fear and it came to be true, but look at them now they're still making songs they wanted to do at the time they couldn't but they're still relevant and they're good

     

    One more light had okay moments, I liked mikes collab in good goodbye, heavy and of course talking to myself. But the rest felt like a drag, they should've bought in someone like travie McCoy who mixes all the genre lp likes into digestible pop songs which btw all his songs were legendary 2010s songs shadowed by his collabs with giants of the time, yeah he faded but he made killers no doubt. 

     

    I don't think no one could blame them if their album flops which I highly doubt it would. No sugar coating it they have the excuse to do one more album in any style they want but I have a feeling it'll be like minutes to Midnight if they decide to do it. 

     

    if you guys want someone who sounds the closest to Chester, Jeff gutt fits the bill and his tastes and compositions are phenomenal, nil difference to Linkin Park. 

     

    I still can't get over the diehard South american fanboys wanting Mark back and finally finishing off lp. 

  11. Yeah bringing in a new singer is their best route to continuing Linkin Park but turning to songwriters would be their best bet, they already had a 6 year hiatus and we have no idea what musical style they're going towards now. 

     

    And those who ask Mark to return are obviously joking, I mean I hope they are. Thing is, One more light would've been their new foundation at getting back in the mainstream, they had a lot of scrapped collabs. but I don't think the band wants that anymore. Will they have a limp bizkit moment where when wes leaves and they make a killer album which they ultimately scrap for one of the worlds worst albums, or would it be like oasis which they all matured and  make their two last albums that is the pinnacle of everything they strive to achieve but has no revenue because let's be honest. If Chester was still alive people wouldn't give two shits about one more light or Linkin Park.

     

    I mean they won, they just want to continue as long as it takes and I think like the band said, doing live shows are their best choice I mean seriously they're all middle aged now. Rock scene is only big enough for 2 bands and we all know which those are, and for people who want a new singer you should know the biggest pressure and weight would be on him. I'm wondering about the label to be honest, will they force Linkin Park or drop them. 

  12. I'm curious we all assumed resolution would be the piano drum track but turned out to be healing foot. 

    I wonder what became of broken foot. Hope we get it soon,because lost was 7/10 fighting myself was your average nu metal band track but healing foot is the epitome of Linkin Park, this is the only track where I think should've definitely made it on the album

    I think with the amount of songs we have that were left off of MTM (including stuff like Pretend To Be and Not Alone that were finished later) it could have easily been a double album if the band wanted it to be.

    Yep! But Linkin Park doesn't roll like that. 

    Anyway, while fighting myself was a let down 

    Healing foot is the song we all were waiting for.

    It is infinitely better then what we got.

    Fighting Myself is a great song. Fight me.

     

    Apparently an opinion out of left field, but Lost, Fighting Myself and probably More The Victim could definitely have made the album. Let's not pretend as if some of the Meteora songs like Nobody's Listening (a song nobody is listening to anymore), Hit The Floor (which sets the floor for LP song quality) and Easier To Run (which is indeed easier than listening to this song), none of which were ever played live much, are S tier songs that couldn't have been traded in for these 2023 songs. 

     

     

    I mean, Meteora definitely doesn't contain 12 Numbs, so if people liken Lost to Numb (which I personally don't really agree with either though), then Lost certainly must have been on the album. The fact that the song is doing so well proves the point that Linkin Park omitted an S tier song for some random non-musical reason.

     

    In fact, apparently also a controversial opinon, but there's no fundamental reason why an album has to have a certain amount of songs. If a song's great, then why not do the effort to turn it into an album-worthy song? All this talk about songs having to fit into an album is overdone. A song is just a song. No one would have ever complained about Meteora with 16 songs.

     

    The only album they would've EVER done more then  12 songs is Minutes to Midnight which Rick and Chester did vote for it but the whole band declined. Because the album was the most massive effort by the band really, its like... Too much for a conceptual type of album and cramming it with 12 songs is just a lot of esoteric tastes despite being rock oriented, they definitely should've added the other 5 cuts and minutes to Midnight would be their best album to date.

    Not my cup of tea too tbh and somehow even with the albums up to OML in my mind, this doesn’t sound like LP for me lmao. This sounds like a song from another nu metal band from that era that would be long forgotten by now.  Or like an old Xero song.

    Exactly

    I'm so glad they matured and moved on.

    It would be super good and the band would gain more success than they have now.

    It would make 1 or 2 Russians happy, yes.

    Imagine buying something for yourself, only to be told by random online strangers that you're an asshole for not sharing it with them, even though you're under no obligation to do so, nor are they entitled to have it.

    Damn... you're right. thx for the advice. decided not to share it, the shipping is fucking outrageous here though. almost half the fucking tape and the tax Sheeeshhh. btw what a fucking let down.

  17. Times change bo. Especially with the ghastly last album, they had a good run better then most rock bands and lp was very original and at times dark, truly the best band of the century. Rip 1997-2017
