My December and High Voltage are both pre-Meteora. This thread is specifically for post-Meteora songs.

I think it was inevitably going to sound different with the change in the lineup, but I think it sounds good even though it's different.

I love RTN in the set. I wouldn't mind some rotation on that part of the set though. Either different verses worked in or entirely different songs would be cool.

The clean guitar on GTG sounds so unlike what we've gotten from Brad in the past. It makes more sense to me if that was Colin.

Two months later, I still absolutely love this album. The Emptiness Machine is easily one of my favorite songs the band has ever done, and Overflow and Casualty show two opposite sides of the band that I love so much. I'm so glad we not only got a new Linkin Park album, but we got one that kicks this much ass. I still get choked up from time to time thinking about Mike's "it's good to see you again" at the comeback show. This band means so damn much to me. It's been full go since that show four months ago and I don't ever want to get off this ride.

Back when it released, there was a lot of backlash from existing fans around the lack of rapping and other numetal elements. It was still undoubtedly successful, but it passed off a lot of fans. Source: I've been a fan since 2000 and have been a part of the larger fan community since 2005/2006. I personally know several people who completely stopped listening to Linkin Park after Minutes to Midnight released.

I love In Between, but I don't think it's a good live song.

Since this year is the 25th anniversary for Hybrid Theory, I would love to see a couple of HT deep cuts like Forgotten or With You back in the set. Maybe they could have a rotating "Hybrid Theory Anniversary" slot in the setlist with those songs and maybe Runaway? I would also love to see some more stuff from The Hunting Party. I feel like Emily could absolutely nail the bulk of that album. I think Final Masquerade could go into rotation with some of the other ballads like Leave Out All the Rest and maybe Shadow of the Day. Finally, I would love to see more A Thousand Suns representation in the setlist. Blackout would especially be cool to see. As for completely unrealistic choices, I would love to see them bust out Reading My Eyes or anything from Hybrid Theory EP. It's a new beginning for the band, so let's take a look back at the original beginning!

Since I mostly listen to albums as complete albums, I actually love when bands put transition stuff like that in even if it's not really "connected" to the track it's transitioning from.

Would have been a tie if I made it in here in time. Damn.

IGYEIH

IGYEIH

IGYEIH

Well the rest is going to be hard. I know TEM is my favorite but that next tier is the other five songs here. I guess I'm voting IGYEIH.

Heavy is the Crown

Stained

I like Cut the Bridge too. I just like the other 9 songs more.

Cut the Bridge

From Zero

Uh...you forgot a headliner. Korn is headlining one day as well.

It has a similar vibe even if it doesn't really have anything directly comparable. I even had that it reminds me of By Myself in my notes I took at the listening party. I agree that there are songs that it's much more directly comparable to.

My current album rankings: 1. A Thousand Suns 2. The Hunting Party 3. Hybrid Theory 4. Minutes to Midnight 5. From Zero 6. Meteora 7. LIVING THINGS 8. One More Light And the From Zero rankings: 1. The Emptiness Machine 2. Overflow 3. Casualty 4. Two Faced 5. Good Things Go 6. IGYEIH 7. Heavy Is the Crown 8. Over Each Other 9. Cut the Bridge 10. Stained

I got an email from Spotify with a presale code but I haven't checked if it works yet.

I love these making the video episodes but I'm dying for some studio stuff
