alright I'll stay with over each other

can i vote for the same song as i did the first time, or do i have to choose a different one?

(not counting the intro...) honestly it's hard to choose but i'm gonna with over each other

damn 😅 germany is on FIRE with this tour

ah, thanks. found it from the insta link now

i don't use spotify either, i use an offline app so i can listen whenever with mp3 files i've downloaded anyone have the video for non-spotify users? i'd like to see it, sounds very sweet

realized a bunch of you were ranking the albums again...i hate hate hate ranking lp albums because it's so damn hard to decide 😂 but here's my personal decision. probably going to change again in the near future. (trying not to go into detail mostly for myself, because i'll overthink my decisions again and again if i do, haha.) 1. ATS 2. FZ 3. meteora 4. LT 5. HT 6. THP 7. MTM 8. OML i'm restraining my fingers from typing more. yes, i put hybrid theory at 5. yes, i prefer LT (as a whole) over HT (i'm sorry i know that's so controversial) but it really depends on mood, you know? LT and meteora were the first albums that i truly got into/loved the entirety of. then it was ATS, obviously now it's FZ. ATS still remains my favourite. if i'm being honest, the reason i don't prefer HT over the four i put above it is probably because i don't have that authentic experience with it "all being the start of linkin park". of course i know this, but as someone who found the album twenty four years after it came out, it doesn't have that significance for me like it might for some of you 😅 i hope that makes sense. and yes, i'm not that big of a fan of MTM - i REALLY adore TLTGYA, though.

i can't watch this show without crying. i remember sitting on my bed watching the recording of the livestream at 11 pm and just sobbing, because i had never been so happy. i remember so much about that day, it's incredible, that show will always been one of their most memorable.

the feeling of having them up and running again like this never stops feeling so amazing to me every time it pops into my head

mike's laugh👌😂

he nailed the beginning IGYEIH 🙏

"mike, do you have a favourite song from the album? if so, why do you like it?" mike: "i like my babies all the same" hahaha i love that so much

now that i've been listening to the album on repeat for almost a week, i figured i'd finally gather together my ranking of the album as well. first things first, fucking amazing album, i'm beyond happy with this one. while it is short (too short imo), the fact that i wouldn't skip any of the songs makes up for that. the whole album has been a constant loop in my ear this past week, and i'm not sick of it whatsoever . it does a great job at mixing around several albums, and at the same time, it has a completely new feel. it's been tricky to decide how i'd lay out my choice of the songs, and obviously overtime it may still change. i'll also be able to see them live for the first time next year, (which i'm majorly excited for) and that too could alter my decision. here's what i've chosen for right now: 0.1 good things go (my absolute favourite right off the bat) 0.2 two faced 0.3 overflow 0.4 IGYEIH (overflow and IGYEIH are very close tie to me at the moment, though) 0.5 HITC 0.6 cut the bridge 0.7 stained 0.8 TEM 0.9 OEO 0.10 casualty 0.11 from zero (intro) (obviously the intro doesn't really count) final note: honestly, HITC has more meaning to me than TEM. mainly with the release of the rest of the album, i prefer quite a few of the other tracks over it. when TEM was released, i full-on loved it, and of course i still do. however, HITC was the song that really knocked the full picture of lp being back into my brain, where i didn't have that at first with TEM. i don't know, that's just an extra bit that makes the song stick with me more. lastly, i know, i know, with casualty, i feel like people either love it a lot or don't like it much at all. that's what it's seemed to me, anyways. (please don't come for me if you're in the middle of that spectrum 😂). after i began to listen to the song more, i have liked it better, but it just isn't a song i vibe to all that much. mike's vocal style also sounds very different than it ever has in that track, which i can't decide if i love or dislike. in other words, i think i still need more time to adjust to casualty.

oh good, they finally released more merch. every apparel-related item they originally had (that i would actually purchase) for the past few months were sold out in my size

good to know. i'll probably just end up tuning in on the youtube livestream so i don't spend forever messing with the the globo stuff, thanks for verifying!!

"Linkin Park's stream can be accessed via their YouTube channel", so are they going to livestream it through youtube as well, or will it just be linked (the globo stream) on their channel?

the MV is so silly...mike and emily are adorable

that's amazing, made my day 😭😭😭 fourth song that they released before the album - man, they can't wait any longer for the official release 🤣

I'M BEYOND FUCKING EXCITED FOR THIS!!! i'll definitely be at the raleigh show, so so so lucky that they're going to be right where i live. (great to see that grandson is the opener for that show too!) going to be an absolute wonder of a tour

FACTS

mike's little laugh when he got the jacket stuck on him 👌 it's sick how they've been incorporating physical "items" or effects if you will into the album art and photos, i really enjoy that

damn damn DAMN the list keeps growing. i'm literally under twenty minutes away from the arena in raleigh... lost my freaking MIND this afternoon when i saw that posted on the list!!! never attended a lp show, so i'm really hoping it'll be on a day i can go to. should be easier to get a ticket (all things considered), mostly because the US shows don't normally sell out completely or quickly. can't put into words how much it'd mean to me to go 😝

i remember two months ago when they announced the album, now here it is, here we are listening to it. in my opinion, the fact that the album is so GOOD makes up for how dang short is it. it's incredible, and has gone over my expectations as far as comeback standards go. i listened to it late last night by myself - cut the bridge, casualty, and two faced had me going strong. loving the energy, though, i'm really not the biggest fan of casualty. i've never had a problem with the more screamy and loud lp songs, this one just didn't really hit well with me. i don't like it all that much...however, two faced has been playing in my head all day today, emily's chorus is so catchy. meteora is practically radiating off of the whole song. HITC and TEM, of course, they require no explanation. while i do prefer some of the other songs in FZ over TEM for instance, it was still such a solid start, i'm beyond grateful that they chose it as the lead single. honestly, two faced could easily have replaced OEO as singles go...but i don't mind it now since the entire album is here. i went through it in order, and considering the fact CTB was the first song i hadn't heard yet, i had a good feeling right off the bat. before listening to it though, i knew i was going to love it either way - linkin park has never failed to please me. i'm not picky when it comes to a majority of the songs throughout the entire catalog, and i've been flexible with all of the types of songs they've experimented with. so in this way, i immediately had no problem with the album. i love love love LOVE the vibe of overflow and stained. overflow is a nice change/mix up to follow after casualty. stained mixes well with their more pop-sounding style. sort of like living things in a way. about that, LT and ATS have always been my favourite albums, but i've got to say FZ is teetering in between the two. i mean, what an album. i don't know how to describe how much i adore it. good things go has been the most outstanding for me. i knew before listening to the album that i was likely going to be be an emotional wreck afterwards, which is partly why i chose to be secluded when i gave it a listen 😝. mike and emily vocals on this one...they're so outstanding. GTG is a spectacular finish - probably my favourite song on the record at the moment. the style of the song is just wow, it sounds so unique and settled so well with me. lp can nail any style kind of song. it quickly adopted a sentimental feel, which isn't bad, i like the mix of loud and soft songs in the lp world. (additionally, it's funny to me how the whole album technically loops, since the end of GTG transitions back to the intro. i've always got a huge kick out of their song transitions. the intro is kind of cute in a way, whoever is asking about the song title just adds a funny little start to the album.) gotta end it by saying how lucky we are to have emily in the operation. she's not chester, she's emily. i will always absolutely love chester, chester is lp and will always be lp, and emily fits right in. never had a problem with her, and when all of the hate and controversy was circulating about her, i simply ignored it. same for colin - i've easily welcomed them. everyday i'm beyond grateful to have linkin park in my life, so this new era has meant the world to me. and kudos to mike...come on...the man is still killing it out there and has been for what, twenty five something years now - additionally with fort minor and his solo projects. (he's my favourite part of lp 🙃) so much respect to those guys, to mike, chester, emily, phoenix, brad, joe, rob, and colin...linkin park is so so so fucking back, i really appreciate everything their music is and has done for me. all i've got left to do, hopefully, is attend a show

nashville is the closest location to me as any of the shows have been so far, let's really hope the tease is true! 🫣 EDIT: take that back, the SC show is actually closer 🙏🙏🙏 EDIT #2: haha nevermind, the raleigh arena is sixteen minutes away from me. the list keeps growing

let's go all for nothing! i'm ready for a change in the setlists not going to lie, so hopefully we get to hear that me too 🖐️
