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).

He'd probably say something along the lines of, "I don't remember." lol

I absolutely love ATS. Easily my favorite non HT album by them but I wonder what it could've sounded like with Trent, Atticus, or Brian Eno. Wow, amazing artists that could've taken that album to totally different places. Really cool bit of info there from Mike!

Honestly even with A Thousand Suns already being my favorite Linkin Park album it makes me a little sad knowing that Trent or Atticus could have been involved. NIN's my favorite band so that would have been pretty cool.

imagine the vocal

Prime Chester doing the RME breakdown? Sign me the fuck up!

If we end up getting studio version of Reading My Eyes with Chester and Stick and Move that'd be fucking dope.

Would love to hear this if it ever is released. Blink-182 is another one of my favorite bands.

I don't see why everybody hates the new B12 so much. I think it sounds dope and is one of my favorites on Amends. I prefer the original version but can still get down to this one as well with its completely different vibe.

I don't think anybody here would be able to share it since it's officially-released music.

Misogynistic songs have been on the radio for generations at this point.

So I listened to the album and it's not bad. Pretty cool to hear these songs in a new style but I'm still not going to buy it because I'm not supporting Sean and company after they handled everything.

but he showed respect to Chester's legacy

You fucking serious right now? They showed very, very little respect for Chester and everything seemed like a way for them to make money.

This one kinda drags on forever without really going anywhere. Some cool ideas in there still and I'm sure if Mike were to actually work on the song more he'd trim a lot of the fat and make something really cool.
