He has been in the top5 for years, he knows his target is not top5 crowd, he built his own fanbase and doesnt need Billboard to tell him he is succesfull.

If he wanted to be in the top5 he would just drop an LP song using remixed Chesters vocals, say this is his legacy and what he wanted and milk it as much as he wants

 

preach bro. preach. this sums up everything. haha

this is great! thanks for sharing this. really loves when Mike giving a talk like this to public.

I meant that... if he can't listen to Chester's voice... how is he working with HT20?

imo, when he's working for HT20, that album, he's involved with the recording session since Day 1. and i'm sure he already knew some of the track will gonna be. that's why for GD, he said he can't listen to Chester's voice since he's not working on those tracks. it feels weird and tough for him.

just my opinion.

To me both FM and MS solo stuff Fall pretty flat. As I said, I don’ t even remember many of the songs on TRT cause I never really cared, on PT I was on board when it came out, but it hasn’t got high replay value. The only songs I consider BAD are PYW and Ghosts, some others like CAL or MUAIG are pretty meh to me. Promises and OA are really good. 
Oh his rapping on IOU and About You is siiiick 

so, you making a comment/judgement based on something that you never really cared at the first place? it's like making a review for a movie that you didnt even watch at the first place.

TRT and PT is totally different. TRT is hip-hop based album while PT is the mixture of what Mike did in his entire career. whatever suits you dude.

Gosh, OD sounds fresh with the added fan vocals, liked the rough early version but the final product feels alive.

 

And yeah, please ignore the obvious Geki clones.

it's great that we have 2 version of "Open Door". the demo and of course the official release. can't stop repeating it.

hahaha. clones. totally dude.

Starting to add the new stuff to the wiki. http://linkinpedia.com/index.php?title=Dropped_Frames,_Vol._1

i saw a tweet on twitter suggesting that which song is taken from which stream (date, title). that will be great. 

Example: "Osiris" (created on Bollywood theme session)

Amends has a God-like status to my eyes and ears right now, but I don’t need to attack Mike’s work to enjoy it, and I admit I did it a couple of times but that was the wrong way to defend it ☺️

that's good for you to think Amends it's God-like status while i'm thinking it's not. it's just my opinion. if you can have your voice, so do i.  btw, you do attack Mike's work previously (Disney songs) but i'll pretend you didnt said it. 

btw, for Dropped Frames, i'm so fkin excited. Hopefully there's a demand for the album to be release in physical like CD, Vinyl, Artbooks. 10th July just next week. for now, enjoying those 3 tracks, repeated heavily.

Shinoda latest memorable track was Over Again

 

Most of his collaborations are shit, Open Door is forgettable.

 

PT replay value is awful, One More Trend was horrible. 

 

Mike needs to stop messing around and go back to produce the next LP album make it epic as fuck dude. 

While the majority people in here or LP fans totally opposite with your opinions. Especially when it comes to Amends. 

Spin exclusively shared the latest news regarding Mike Shinoda's new solo album, "Dropped Frames, Vol.1" set to be release July 10th, 2020!

“Dropped Frames is just as much about the live channel as it is about the ‘album’,” Shinoda says. “The collection of songs is a highlight reel of the tracks I make on the channel, but a big part of the experience is the stream itself. When I start, I usually have very little idea of where it will go. What comes out is a product of the viewers’ suggestions, my spur-of-the-moment ideas, and whatever inexplicable magic is floating in between.”

The tracklist for Dropped Frames, Vol. 1 is as follows:

Open Door
Super Galaxtica
Duckbot
Cupcake Cake
El Rey Demonio
Doodle Buzz
Channeling Pt. 1 (feat. Dan Mayo)
Osiris
Babble Bobble
Session McSessionface
Neon Crickets
Booty Down

Check out more on Spin.

Mike's raided the  Dr. Deimos Twitch and Dr Deimos was really flattered about it. He said he met such nice people, so he did a remix for LINKIN PARK's "LOST IN THE ECHO" and released it for free download. He shared the link on Reddit.

I am not sure what made you think this, but honestly that opinion is completely false... literally not true at all. And there has never been 1% of a hint in any direction that WBR is forcing them to make a certain style of music. WBR has no control over what LP does with the style of music they make or even what song they release as a single now, listen to Mike's comments literally this week how WBR was strongly opposed to Catalyst as a lead single for ATS but LP makes the calls and Catalyst was what was happening. Same for GATS, I'm sure.

 

The most "WBR pushes LP to do something" move we have ever seen is when MTM was finished, they thought it would be good for LP to have a big lead single as a comeback, so Mike and Chester quickly wrote What I've Done... one of their best/biggest songs. It's truthfully Mike is the master of everything with a nice dash of Chester and Brad, and WBR says "ok" to what the band does. I just watched an interview with Phoenix where he said the label fully trusts Mike to produce the LP albums now because his track record is so good with the band. LP made OML because LP wanted to make OML.

I'm surely thinking that way because i've seen other artists/bands out there that have to follow the specific requirements for album release. everything is in contract. for label, they wanna make profits. for the band, they wanna an art to be creative, delivered to fans. sometimes, both will not goes for the same way.

just wondering, why THP marketing worst than OML? i might think the label playing around with THP releases while OML, they pushed it futher because that's what they wanted. but maybe it's kind of nature thing in music world. to say WBR has no control, i dont know bout that because LP needs them instead of WBR need LP. they have a longtime deal.

just like how Metallica created St. Anger, getting backlash from the fans and they comeback with Death Magnetic but wasnt fully enough. finally with Hardwired, they back to the roots. maybe for LP,  they have plan to release a contrast album style after OML (could be rock album, electronic, idk) but eventually the plan has to be scrapped.

this is just my opinion. i love OML but it's not up to THP. if LP can go on their own just like Blackened Records, that will be fkin amazing.

THP is their worst record by far, the first half is Empty and dull, it recovers from Wastelands on. 

THP always better than OML. that's my opinion. OML is like an album where the label really wanted/force the band to do it after THP didnt do so well in the commercial market. gotta say WBR is the mastermind of everything. they literally make THP failed so badly by having worst marketing, tour and more. so, the band had no choice by following the order to make this pop rock record which most of the fans really disappointed. personally, the album is good but not better than the rest of their catalogue.

My question now is: Do we think the rest of their albums will have a 20th anniversary release of some kind as they start coming around in the future? Or is this only a thing because it's Hybrid Theory?

I got a feeling METEORA might get this kind of release since it's not far away to their 20th anniversary but for the rest, still long way to go. For Metallica, they didn't care much bout anniversary. when they start out with Kill Em All & Ride the Lightning, it's for the 33rd and 32nd anniversary respectively. maybe they'll plan to release it earlier than waiting till 10th or 20th anniversary.

Remember guys, they have asked fans for everything HT related, from ticket stubs, magazine clippings/cuttings, photos etc. to live video footage! I guess these images will be used in some sort of an art book?! and promotional posters!

i imagine it'll be like Metallica releases. pages of collage with posters, ticket stubs and more.

Can't wait to hear she couldn't in better quality 

i know right? proper releases of "She Couldn't" will be great. once it release on streaming platform, people worldwide will listen to it for the first time (not for hardcore fans obviously).

When do you think it will be released or was possible release date 03/2020 postponed because of covid-19?

most probably closer to the original release date for Hybrid Theory. Maybe Q3/Q4?

Swear mike said Chester didn't sing over those tracks 

Hmm, nope. Chester did record his vocal on those tracks and send the tape right back to Mike and that's the reason why he come for audition later. the rest is history.

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

i'm 99% sure we will get it soon. imagine the vocal. omg.

The one thing they have never released from that era that would be cool to see is them in the studio recording some songs. In the End, Papercut, etc vocal sessions, guitar tracking, anything. Did they think at that time to film that stuff? Or only Meteora onwards?

if i'm not mistaken, they do shot behind-the-scene but maybe it's not much as the other album forward. Example: there's a shot where Mike & Chester recording vocals for "Points of Authority" in the recording booth. I'm sure there's more of it.

Surely it will be available on Spotify. Just like how Metallica did.

Second that. Also hope whatever they release isn't like 1000 exclusive copies

Since "Hybrid Theory" is masterpiece album, it won't be 1000 exclusive copies. But, the limited edition/bundles might have limited copies.

Gotta save up my money from now on. Never know what's the price gonna be.

I'm always excited whenever Mike release something. Bring it on!

Thats the same rip like mrfox did ?

nope. i did my own rip. download the entire show from youtube and convert it into mp3 without changing anything/mixing. the audio for the show is not really in good quality. blurry sound. but the video is good. there's other 2001 shows that's better sound than this.

Not sure if you guys need this. I've compiled the entire show into one file and rip it into audio files, split it and tagged with cover art.

Here's the download link: https://www.sendspace.com/file/g3wx78
