so, QWERTY is produced by Rick Rubin & Mike Shinoda. so it will be the Studio Demo version from LPU6.

From that quote, is that mean they reworked the song? Just like LOST. No wonder the sound is different from OML sound. The drum is more live organic, not electronic.

hardcore fans complain but yet, still, here we are. supporting the band but for casual fans, they will notice the band if they making new song (not a new old song). As for now, 2 new old song released by LP and casual fans starts to ask if the band will making new song as in fresh start. Also there’s a negative perception that LP using AI for these releases song. They stuck at that position with the mindset that LP dont have a brand new song. So Mike should step in and making new song/album with the rest of the band! It will be instant blow!

those are collaboration tracks and for Invisible (or any Mike main vocal track in LP album) always been overshadowed by Chester. it's time for Mike to prove that he capable to lead the band with 100% fresh new materials with his vocal lead the song. he should try and if fails, then they know what to do next. but trust me, any materials post-CB era will blown the internet. that's because he released those materials under the banner of "MIKE SHINODA". hell, Mike can ever releases "ALREADY OVER" as LP track if he want to but he carefully not to do that because people will still fkin complain bout it.

it seems like FRIENDLY FIRE a bit different (not much) than the rest of OML tracks. is it because they mix differently? but as Martinez told us, only "Numb/Encore" is new mastering.

understood. thanks for the clarification! i hope this new "Numb/Encore" mix is a teased for COLLISION COURSE 20th Anniversary or something. 🥹

wondering, why Numb/Encore is the only song with new mastering? quick one: will QWERTY release on the album release date or could it be earlier? just like Fighting Myself?

for OML session, Heavy still the shortest. FF is the same length with Sharp Edges! 😂

the animated cover is dope! thank you for the updates Martinez!

is the track length is 2:57? that's kinda short.

im sure it is. maybe this wasnt on the band list for 2024 but if the label insists, well, here we go for the hundredth time..

it's a bit odd but im sure Frank Maddocks has something in his mind. He's the creative vp for WB. look at Mike Shinoda's Already Over art directions. fkin love it.

i dont know much bout Grammy but they dont really like Rock, Metal music. They all planted. They just nominated those bands to make ppl watch the show. I cant recall what year but Lorde won best rock music. It’s a total joke. Eminem already f**k the Grammys because he knows how the system went

exactly! and that's the last one for LP. 🥹 amazing that LP has tons of greatest hits!

Machine Shop should be reviving back as a proper record label for LINKIN PARK only. for Numb/Encore, people treat the song as its own. also, the song is really huge single, it will be crazy for LP to leave the song from the GH collections.

Machine Shop Records still there as you can see in the leaked PAPERCUTS disc, releasing all LP stuff but they're just a minor company. Unlike Metallica's Blackened, they have a bigger voices. if you go through Metallica website, you can see how they managed their contents really well. seems like Metallica will never run out of contents, live music/shows. 😂

this sums up everything. 100% agree. anyway, cant wait for QWERTY on DSP! it's always the label thing. i remember when Avenged Sevenfold wanna break the contract with WBR back in 2016, suddenly the label released a compilation album features A7X greatest hits in a disc. the band doesnt want it but the label said, that's the only way. so yeah, i believe this Linkin Park greatest hits releases most likely label idea, forcing the band, especially after they see "LOST" making lots of profits last year. I really hope LP can make their own label, just like Metallica with their BLACKENED RECORDINGS.

at this point, i can surely said that WBR really hate THP so much. seems like they hold the grudge till this day. based on the cover art that leaked, i’m pretty sure the band were forced to release this Greatest Hits as soon as possible just to follow up the successful of LOST & METEORA20 last year.

Eminem used “Curtain Call: The Hits”, sounds exclusive and great because when it released, people thought he’s gonna quit from rapping.

I was hoping track 14 will “Behind Your Lies (QWERTY)”, not the one that Rick Rubin version. Imagine if QWERTY re-released as single, it will blown away just like LOST. Except LOST is totally new to everyone. QWERTY already well known for LP hardcore fans for years.

i believe there's a point of reputation for making a lyric page in Genius. i did for few lyrics for my local indie band. but it doesnt go anyway much

i'm expecting the song will be release this Friday together with GH album announcement with pre-order and such.

Sorry but why this is not a good thing? do you expecting a track from OML session will sounds like LOST which recorded back in Meteora days? any songs from OML session will sounded like this, pop oriented track.

this! Greatest Hits album is just a gateway to discover the gems of LINKIN PARK discography. I did the same thing for band that I know their hit songs (like 2-3 song), I will go through their "THIS IS" playlist and from there, i will go for albums and voila, that's the algorithm nowadays

LP has tons of great single/promo song through out their entire career. making a cut for Greatest Hits surely gonna be massive headache. SOTD most likely one of the song that have to made a cut from this compilation. IMO, THE CATALYST should be in the CD too. most likely the Side 03 for the Vinyl releases. 5 song for each side.
