I rather they change the name and get new vocalist instead of using "LINKIN PARK" name and went downhill as fans hate the ideas of new vocalist in LP. The idea of using playback for them to continue touring, it will be cool but only temporary. the excitement will not be the same.

Continue as 5-piece under the new name. Let the name "LINKIN PARK" become legendary. As I said, Joy Division is legend but the bandmates remain as New Order yet still success. It's the music keeps them alive.

I only can think Jeff Gutt from Dry Cell. He voice used to be similar like Chester but now, he's getting better. Check out his audition when he joined X-Factor. and this is his recent photo, he shaved for Chester.

1. If they're using XERO, it's not a bad idea. 2. I think the idea of someone carrying the mantle is great. There's tons of powerful vocalist and i'm sure one of them can nail LP songs. 3. We're starting to become STP fans back in the days where Chester replace Scott and their fans rage and against it, while LP fans are happy with it and totally support it. 4. Let's FORT MINOR, stays as FORT MINOR. I don't want the bandmates merge into that. 5. As I said earlier, they can change their band name into something else and let LINKIN PARK remains as legend. LPU can continue, i dont think it's a problem for them to release it. 6. MOST IMPORTANT, they must keep continue making music cuz that's what Chester will ask them if he's still around. Music connecting all of us. Without their music, I dont think i'm gonna be here now typing this. PS: Just my 2 cents. thanks.

I kinda agree with this. they can start fresh. as a new band. LP still exists for fans but this new band, gonna do music that something different. Mike's on the vocal and rap. Anything as long as they're making music for fans. New Order proves that even changing name, they still success.

Just the last chorus. Chester too excited (i think) until forgot the cue to sing it. Stormzy killin' it! It was DOPE!

Looks like we gonna get the official release soon? Hopefully it'll make it to the radio. Follow up for his current radio single, "There for You". http://www.youredm.com/2017/06/14/martin-garrix-provides-update-collaboration-linkin-park-waiting-tomorrow/

Interesting news! Hopefully there's something for LPU17!

NCSM and Sharp Edge really good in live version. Hopefully we can get a pro-shot or SBD audio for both. I'll bet they gonna play SFN and Halfway Right in the upcoming show and voila!, they played entire album!

Nice poster!

You mad? Hahah. Is it wrong to call you both "greatest" fans? Seems like you guys knows more bout the band than the others. *big clap*

Listening the entire album now and it's totally different records that previous but I'm enjoying it. So, I don't give a f**k bout those negative reviews/comments. Btw, castro78 & spraypaintandinkpen is the" greatest" LP fans of all time.

Not exactly 3 years.

I didnt ask you to do something if you dislike the album. i'm asking "for what"? check the post again before mumbling. your opinion is yours and vice versa. maybe they gonna release bonus track later? probably demos for LPU? gotta admit, 10 songs is weird but at least we got full song instead of Interlude.

For what? So they can head to studio and making new album that probably will disappointed hardcore LP fans? I rather they touring longer and take time for another records.

+1

Can we get a proper tracklist for these track? Some fansite name the first track "Product Is Hot" & "Caution".

For us, maybe we can differentiate it but others, often confuse between LP & LB. they thought it the same band because of nu-metal and rapcore. RHCP is a legend band IMO and i'm sure in between 30 years, they have done lots of experiment and they end up to keep the DNA for the later album. while LP, not even 2 decades, that's why they decided to keep trying and doing something they never did. It's better they did this pop album now than later. but yeah, i'm totally understood your point man and I respect it. it's a good discussion.

I'm sick and tired of word "generic" and "forgettable". Maybe you'll forget or not gonna listen to the record forever but for others (including me), I'll keep jamming to this record over and over again because I like it. HT is unique but during that era, there's tons of music like that. Limp Bizkit, Static-X and more nu-metal band, same just like this era that Top 40 fills with pop songs.

I grew up listening to them since HT and never miss anything that the band released. the first 2 album using the same recipe, while the rest has their own style. Same goes to OML. it's different than others because they decided to open up their creative door to different people/songwriters. LP aim to be different this time and yes, they achieved it. this album have LP unique sound but it just that you guys have taken the "songwriters" term too much and overlook every single songs that has been release is colaborators touch, not LP style. what if they didnt say about songwriters at the first place? i'm sure the comments will be different. if OML is THE MALL soundtrack? heck, i still love it. Even The Mall OST also different musical style. not even close to THP. but in the end of the day, it's everyone choice. For me, I believe in what they did.

You're really confident! I like it! *slow clap* I think you should just go listen to "spraypaintninkpens" all over again. That's SO much better than OML for you isnt it? That's what people said when they're making MTM, ATS, LT, THP. In the end, they'll listen back to those album. So, it's about time. Not surprise if people gonna say OML is great/awesome in the upcoming years.

Just because you hate it, doesnt mean it will flop. it's like 1 people hate it, but 9 people will love it. We will see. Totally agree!
