I really hate how defensive everybody gets here if somebody doesn't like a song/project/whatever that a member of the band is putting out. It really stifles any sort of open discussion. And news flash: saying "this song is awesome!" adds just as much to the conversation as "this song is shit!" does yet nobody ever complains about the former. I've liked the other two collaborations the band has done with Aoki so I'm optimistic that I'll like this one too but people are allowed to dislike a damn song.

Yeah Post Traumatic has some pop vibes to it but it's pretty much a modern hip-hop record but with more singing. Even most of the songs that Mike doesn't really rap on have a hip-hop vibe to the beat.

I'll reserve judgement until I can actually hear it. lol

I guess I was just trying to say that none of the pre-Hybrid Theory (album) songs really fit the style of Hybrid Theory. The closest would be the remixed version of High Voltage (since it was actually intended for the album at some point) but I feel like even that would feel very out of place on that album.

I really can't see She Couldn't or any of the HTEP songs fitting on Hybrid Theory.

That clip is dope. It's got that same "Nine Inch Nails meets trap music" vibe that Fine had.

I think he might also be remembered for briefly fronting another mega-popular band with STP but I agree that the first thing anybody is ever going to think with Chester is Linkin Park.

Head did apologize about his comments.

But it's not like anything here is actually new and all of Chester's contributions can be heard already through the original versions of the songs. I'm still curious about hearing that stuff in a new context but Chester didn't actually contribute anything new to this project.

Yep. It's absolutely not "lost" music. It's remixes of songs that were released and have been available for over two decades at this point.

It was still their choice to put that quote on the CD.

Because of course it does. lol

So looks like the bonus tracks are acoustic versions of songs.

Wasn't the original name actually "The Down Syndrome?"

Oh damn. I got excited for a second. lol

Wait like Linkin Park?

I would honestly love a version of Out Of Ashes that's more in line with those early demos that leaked. The production on the final product is too sterile for the type of music Chester and the guys put together in my opinion.

Honestly everything about the way this project has been promoted screams bitter cash grab. I was super interested in this thing when I heard some of the guests that were contributing but now I'm not even sure if I'm going to listen. Sean is presenting his own revisionist version of events to sell records and it's disgusting.

Yeah but Hahninator was calling Kiiara "completely unknown" and that's what I was responding too. Probably should have quoted him since there were a few more responses between his post and mine.

I hadn't heard of her either but that doesn't mean she was a nobody. She had a number 13 billboard hit before working with Linkin Park.

No. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reseda_Beach

Just because something is a tribute doesn't make it good. People are allowed to voice their negativity if they want.

I'd rather Linkin Park remain a 5-piece at this point but I won't be hurt if they add another vocalist. It would definitely take some getting used to for sure.

Used yours as a base but had to replace a couple songs that weren't on Spotify.

It's really cool to finally have this little piece of Linkin Park history.
