Phoenix, Rob, Joe & Chester were like studio musicians, they weren't involved in OML at all
It was all about Mike's control obsession.
Also watch the promo performances, the rest of the band was nowhere to be found.
To me Mike & Brad used LP as a brand for OML
No respect for the rest of the guys.
Idk why they didn’t just list ‘’Linkin Park’’ as the writers next to the other people. On every other of their main 7 albums, they listed Linkin Park I’m pretty sure, instead of individual members for every song. But it’s weird that you have interviews with Chester talking about what TTM is about, about relating to how Talinda must have felt when he was battling his demons, but yet he doesn’t have writing credits. I think the entire band did contribute. Especially Chester. In fact, I’m almost positive that Mike always ran lyrics by Chester, it’s been shown in like 1000 different LPTV’s and LPUTV’s. Mike and Brad have been the primary writers forever I’m pretty sure, even more so Mike. You also have examples of Joe suggesting they get a female artist to feature on Heavy, etc. I’m not saying OML is my favorite album but it’s not fair to specifically say the rest of the band didn’t write anything. I mean Chester did contribute largely to Heavy and HW. It’s only a 10 song album. Chester sings on literally every track, even Invisible which I think he does backing stuff.
and BTW, Post Traumatic is amazing and isn’t only about losing control. Mike talks about grief and tons of other emotions. And yeah losing control because he’s also a human too. What’s wrong with this guy Jz
