While im slowly slowly starting to accept the reality of a Linkin Park without Chester, i think people are setting their hopes too high for this new LP.
Too much emphasis is put on Mike and Brad being the masterminds behind the scenes and forget the fact that they had the legendary chester to work with.
This new band ill enjoy because its Mike, but I can never get hyped for it because it will always be a second rate LP, no jaw dropping previews with Chester doing some insane screams, it will be just another band. Im not even trying to be negative, i mean thats just the reality now.
If we must have another vocalist I really hope its a female.
