If they do anything with the 25th anniversary I would hope it's something a lot smaller than the HT20 box set. Maybe a deluxe edition with a second disc of unreleased demos or something. Next big box set should definitely come no earlier than the 30th anniversary.

But really what I'm hoping for next is a Meteora 20.

I think the bigger reason is simply that the band doesn't believe they're worth releasing. Mike obviously knows that fans would like to hear them but he's constantly mentioning that the songs they don't release are nothing special.

This sounds really fucking dumb.

Personally I think it sucks.

I read the title and thought that LP is back 🤦🏽‍♂️

Same lol

Neat. Regardless of the drama around Amends I did like the product. Looking forward to more recontextualized early Chester recordings.

Plenty of people use the DVDs and CDs though (including myself). You aren't the only person who ordered the box set.

In The End

It was a perfect blend of everything Linkin Park was at the time and would become over time. It's not my favorite song of theirs but it was definitely the most important song they ever wrote as far as their careers go.

Well this gives me hope that they may in the future do something about the LPU Rarities CDs.

What do you guys think the chances of getting anniversary box sets for the other albums down the road is? HT20 was a huge success considering it put Hybrid Theory back near the top of the Billboard 200 so I think Meteora is a given but do you think they'll continue after that? I think these box sets are our best hope to get more unreleased songs with Chester singing on them since Warner is probably going to want to hold on to those tracks and not really let the band use them for LPU CDs (if that even ends up happening ever again).

What I'm curious about is how many album sales each box set sale accounts for since double albums are treated as two sales per unit and there are several CDs and vinyls in each box set.

The only thing I'm really missing on here is the Part Of Me with the prechorus screaming. Besides that (and some technical issues on the LPU disc) I'm super happy with the box set we got.

Does anybody know if they're doing anything about the LPU CDs with the wrong versions of Hurry and Chair? Or even how the hell that happened? lol

I love Chester's vocals on the Linkin Park version but Mike has more energy in the Xero version.

Mark Wakefield sounds amazing on Esaul.

The distorted scream in the breakdown made me jump. lol

Did they play Reading My Eyes on the radio as well? Because they could very easily just be mistaken about the source of the songs if Mike/the band said Rhinestone is from the demo tape and then they played the Zomba version. I'd be a little surprised if anything from the Xero tape is actually on this release considering the quality of that tape.

Isn't Stick N Move with Chester though?

the PR02 DVD is from San Diego 2002 show and Las Vegas 2002 show or only Las Vegas 2002 show?!

and someone please record this Q&A.

Pretty sure it's the Las Vegas show on the DVD. San Diego was uploaded to YouTube and they did the reaction video for it as well.

Yeah I would have preferred blu-ray as well but I'm just pumped for unreleased live content. I really hope we get a Meteora box set in a few years with a Projekt Revolution 2004 show. Or Summer Sonic 2006.

I've made a lot more than one at this point. lol

Got two full albums of them and I'm working on a third.

Chester sang a line from the chorus from The Morning After at the end of the Bristow show in '04 but that's it lmfao

 

I think a big part of it is just that it's a lot harder for Chester to incorporate sung parts of DBS stuff since the melody needs to fit and stuff. Rapping over different beats is much easier to make fit well.

It's probably the Zomba version (or similar). I doubt they put anything actually from the Xero tape on there.

My fucking box set just changed the expected shipping date from the 9th to the 13th. What the hell? I got the day off of work to enjoy the thing! Now I'm just gonna sit around and do fuck all next Friday.

At least the songs will be up on Spotify but I was really looking forward to listening to Hybrid Theory and Reanimation while paging through that art book and then watching the concerts and behind-the-scenes stuff.

Don't understand why we're having two carousel demos

One is the HTEP version and the other is probably from the 9/8 track demo or whatever leaked demo we have it from.
