It's so fucking cool to finally hear this song. And to hear the "Be Yourself" jam in context is just...wow! Been listening to that thing for literally 19 years and been holding out for Pictureboard since we first heard about it (was it like 2005?). Nuts that it's been in the wild for over a year. lol Mike was right when he said it wasn't really anything special but man it feels good to finally hear it. Looks like we're getting the Chester vocal version in a couple months too. Can't wait!

I would love to hear this. Crazy that it's been in the wild for about a year now.

i preordered via amazon

Could I get a link?

Why can't I preorder the box set?

Linkin Park has never officially released any of the Mark tracks so I see no reason why they would start now.

What all was on the leaked tracklist?

Squeak squeak

Reception from who? reviews from who?

 

One More Light has a 46/100 on Metacritic (which for anybody who doesn't know is an aggregate site that collects scores from several reviewers and averages them out). It's fair to say that it was critically received very poorly.

Just on YouTube. Download the audio and track it. The band paid Ethan Mates to mix the entire show professionally and they reuploaded it in place of the original audio. The audio on there is as good as a live release, same guy who mixed a ton of LP's live releases.

Still not as good of quality as an actual physical release or even a digital lossless release would give us.

It was. The entire show. lol

Outside of YouTube?

I would love to at least get the Hollywood Bowl performance of LFAA mixed, mastered and released.

Can we stop with the death anniversaries and just celebrate Chester's life on his birthday or something?

About the topic; black and white it a 100% DMCA thing period. Thy should had left it like that, just a legal thing. But now they made it a political thing. Musicians should try to stay away from politics for the sake of their fanbase.

This is an outstandingly shitty take. Musicians are people and people are allowed to express their political beliefs however the hell they want. They should just stick to music to appease their fans. Taking that stance even if it will upset some fans shows integrity. For the record, I'd be saying this even if I supported Trump.

I found weird the story behind "Debris". I mean, the song has gang vocals on it. The way as Mike said, gave me the impression that we wroted the whole demo by himself.

You realize that he can record layers of his own vocals, right?

That first answer up there is fucking heartbreaking.

Talking To Myself would have been a great lead single since it's kind of a bridge between a more traditional Linkin Park style and the pop sound of One More Light. Heavy would have been a great single to release a little later to push more album sales after they began to dwindle.

Is Ricochet the working title for What Are You Worth or is that another song that leaked?

Cool that Mike also sees The Hunting Party as A Thousand Suns with metal on top of it. That's how I've always viewed that album.

I saw "Short Album Update" in the news feed and got really excited for a moment. lol

I'd love to see the SOAD, blink and Korn stuff too.

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.

Mike said in a promo video or behind the scenes thing around the time of the album's release that Chester and him would brainstorm ideas for songs and then take those ideas and go from there. I really think that Chester contributed ideas and themes for songs that he doesn't have a writing credit on because none of the actual words on the song actually came from Chester. I don't know if I'm wording what I want to say correctly. I just woke up and I'm kinda tired still. lol

Definitely the worst album by the band. I hate all the songs. They didn’t even write the songs. It also sounds EXTREMELY outdated in 2020 after only 3 years with all that pop sound and style it had. Like Anthony Fantano said when it dropped, the style of pop that was OML was popular in like 2013, not 2017, and by 2020 it sounds ancient. It’s sad this was the last thing released with Chester. Should have been THP. If after the tour cycle for THP they felt burnt out and didn’t want to write their own songs anymore they should have just never did a new album and toured for years on end. 

Mike has writing credit on all the songs and Brad has credit on 7 of 10. They've always been the main songwriters in the band so I'm sure that's pretty similar to the actual writing of previous albums (though they've always been just credited as written by Linkin Park). They worked with other songwriters but it's exaggerating to say they didn't write their own songs. They wanted to make a modern pop album (for some reason) and part of that process is working with other songwriters.

Out Of Ashes had horrible production for the songs. I totally agree that a more raw sound would have fit the songs better.

I like it about as much as when it first came out. It's not my favorite Linkin Park album but it's got some great tunes on it (Nobody Can Save Me, Invisible and Sorry For Now being my favorites).
