I'm guessing Joe and Rob aren't interested in a reunion if this is true. Or at least not at this time. The band would almost certainly bring on a new drummer to fill Rob's spot (either a new official member or simply a touring drummer). Joe would be a little harder to replace in my opinion.

Last I saw of Joe, he created a fire sword.....so, I think he's fine just doing his thing 

Tho seriously regarding both, I think the article could very well just worded it weird. 

If Rob doesn't wanna do shows, I vote Jess Bowen tbh

Just throwing it out there that you forgot about Lights working with Mike.
She also recently left her label to start her own so she's a bit of a free agent, can hit the range needed for a lot of LP, has been on metalish and rock songs, and has always had an experimental approach to her music that I've thought resembles LP's vibes.

I know it wont ever happen but i seriously thought the singer from sum 41 was a great fit after that faint performance with shinoda. He has a great tone for Linkin Park moving forward but even he knows he's no replacement for chester which i agree, but still his tone is very fitting IMO for the band's music. 

He does have that similar vibe in his voice that makes him a nice comparison.

They actually just dropped their final album this past Friday. Half is very classic sum41 anthem type songs and the other half their later more metal infused style. Nice send off and a bittersweet but well deserved close so Deryck can rest instead of running himself ragged.

Gotta love Spotify acting up and claiming FF isn't available

It did used to hit for me, a few years back. But listening now... for me Linkin Park's 'Jesus of Suburbia' is The Catalyst. THAT track has a story to tell. I wish I still liked ALITS like I did but it just doesn't hit these days

That's fair

Also, since you mention Catalyst, check out Don't Need Nothing by Aly and AJ. I like to joke with friends that they're the same song bc they follow similar progression from single voice and simple music to overlapping repeating voices with drums and full band killing it

Y'all, remember when Mike said "New Era" before starting promo for Already Over? Didn't he also say in subsequent posts about each chapter being different themes and colors, starting with red bc it's his favorite?

Red - Already Over
Green - Friendly Fire, Greatest Hits
????? - ??????

For me strange that Mike or other guys not talking about upcoming song. Just posted about song and still massive wall of secrets why they do this now. Too many questions, but soon we will get some answers 😅

I think you answered yourself lol (to drive fans crazy with hype and generate buzz**)


I'm sure after the album announcement, they'll give some more info. Mike did repost the FF teaser. I think they know this gets us all frenzied, which works better at this stage to get hype going.

I still think it's an epic song with an atmospheric and intense vibe. The breakdown is Metallica-esque and it escalates further and further until it collapses. Love it.

It is epic, has a great vibe, I just think the execution is poor for a track from Linkin Park

ALITS is one of my favorite tracks tbh. It feels like it tells a story similar to how Green Day has Jesus of Suburbia or Sum41 did the trilogy of songs on Screaming Bloody Murder. Yeah, it jumps between styles, but I feel there's an understood progression that reminds me of Wake. In a looser sense, it feels like a mix of THP songs as well as their overall catalog until that album. It's sad that it doesn't hit the same way for others (that's on the song, not a 'you just don't get it' sense).

and where can you spend these reputation points?

 

Can we all just agree as adults not to update Genius the second we have the slightest whiff of unconfirmed information? There is zero rhyme or reason to put things we don’t actually know on there. There is no reward/award for having a water droplet of ‘insider information’ - it’s not a flex, it’s a bit weird, and it misleads other fans of the music.

 

It’s not a show of knowledge, it’s evidence of a lack thereof.

I'm having flashbacks to Tribal Ink songs being spread around limewire as unreleased LP songs lol 

If it's intentional that they left it blank and it's something unreleased, I'm willing to bet it's another OML vault track. They have been having apparent success with the box sets, so they wouldn't want to pull from those wells when they can go towards MTM20, ATS20, and LT20. I am unsure if we'll get 20 year boxes after that as they seem to have forgotten about THP and OML's timing will likely prevent them wanting to do an anniversary celebration. Plus they'll be late 50s or even 60 by then and prolly focused on chilling.

What is the point of making all this stuff if it is aimed to new listeners? Just release "Greatest hits" album without these riddles, green dots etc. I'm not sure fans who actually can see all movements by LP are waiting for compilation of old tracks

We're on page 13 discussing it. A bunch of LP fans I follow on Twitter and the LPL account are all posting and sharing and joking, so it generates posts that will show in other ppl's feeds, which reaches the target audience.

It's been a simple series of teasers, but it's working. The LP social media crew has always been good at that.

Greatest Hits albums don't make a lot of sense in this current era of music, but if it's a way to get an unreleased song, I'm down.

Being that they'll almost 100% have a vinyl release with it, that's what interests me most since it'll allow me to pop it on the player and just have a stream of hits. If it were just digital/cd, I'd grab the CD to have physical copy of the new song and shelve it and add the new song to current playlist and be done with it.

Not the most interesting release, but the new song likelihood and the implications this release may have on the future of LP make it intriguing to me.

Already over sped up version. 

Already Over (Simlish Version) would be an actually great track to include lol

LPU8 level troll from the band

Also, it's fun to be back with hype for a release. I didn't have too much energy for HT20 and was too busy for M20 and now we have some unknown type of thing happening.

I'm guessing they'll do a similar type box set as HT20.

My guess for the big set is:

Vinyl

- Meteora

- Live in Texas

- Maybe Collision Course

CD

- Demos

- Live in Texas enhanced with bonus tracks

DVD

- Live in Texas

- Camden 2004

- Rock Am Ring 2004

Man, wish they had a few more tiers, I can't personally justify the Super deluxe when I wouldn't touch the vinyls. But I would get a $110/$120 tier that didn't include those.

Why do you think we're getting new music 

There are two demos that haven't been heard at all. New to everyone outside the band.

New music

New release

Can we just fucking forget about DVD's? 

 

It's almost 2021 dude. 

I might be old school, but  I like having physical copies of media to ensure I continue to own a copy when streaming or other  digital services remove said content or close up shop. Netflix took Avatar off for 8 years, I still was able to watch bc dvds. I had to transfer my digital movie library to another service or risk losing access in the past few years because Ultraviolet shut down.

As I said before, why are you assuming there’s just one disc? The promo literally just started, there’s way more to this than 12 demos. I’d be shocked if So Far Away isn’t on there. Let’s wait for the official announcement and see what it has. 

The way it's shaping up, it makes no sense for it to be one disc. No matter what, the standard album is going to be included, whether retouched, new disc art, or just standard re-release.  All the songs revealed so far are too much to tack on to the end of the HT list as bonus tracks.

My prediction:
2+ discs
High confidence:
1: Hybrid Theory in some form (whether og, remaster, new art print, etc)
2: The song list from the computer promo

Just guessing:
3: Hybrid Theory demo tape that was submitted for the deal
 

Hoping but not expecting whatsoever

Also, question: do you think My December and High Voltage will be included somewhere?

Has he ever answered if the last song for post traumatic will get some form of video?

20 seems like a great number for LP to do it for each album. Lots of money there to be made, which is a driving force behind it all. I'd buy all of the editions.

*Sean Dowdell screams in distance*

Now that I have disposable income, I'd love to upgrade my collection with really nice 20 year sets

I think the production on Lights's vocals don't really add much in this song like it does in say, Love Me by Felix Cartal. I personally dig it but can see why people only checking it out because Mike appears on it wouldn't really enjoy unless they liked the genre or Steve Aoki already. Think the vocals could've transitioned from Mike to Lights better (maybe she comes in on his last line or something for the verse). Both them together was pretty awesome for me though

The argument of the 'filler' in ATS is as old as the album itself though lol, and MTM not aging well is totally subjective.

 

Just because you give a more cohesive response doesn't mean it should be automatically respected or accepted.

The point was that they give more to a discussion than just "this is shit". I know ATS's filler argument is a dead horse, it was a dead horse 3 days after the album leaked. MTM is completely subjective. Both at least open it up for a response that can progress the conversation.

Let's put it like this:

"How was work?"
"It was trash"
"Well why is that?"
"It's shit"
 

Back to the subject a bit more, I absolutely love Lights and glad she's finally collaborated with Mike. For people wanting to check her music out, I have a list of songs that I feel are more likely to appeal to LP fans, basically working backwards from her most recent to older:

1. Love Me - Felix Cartal ft Lights
2. Long Live - Lights ft Travis Barker
3. Amateurs - Sleepy Tom ft Lights
4. Drama Free - Deadmau5 ft Lights
5. Warrior - Steve James ft Lights
6. Lost Girls
7. Savage
8. New Fears
9. We Were Here
10. Moonshine
11. Magnetic Field
12. Almost Had Me
13. Up We Go
14. Same Sea
15. Speeding
16. Oil and Water
17. Slow Down
18. Lucky Ones
19. From All Sides
20. Where the Fence is Low
21. Everybody Breaks a Glass
22. Suspension
23. Flux and Flow
24. Fourth Dimension
25. Ice (mainly for the bridge being nuts)
26. Saviour - The Angry Kids FM Mix

I haven’t commented in here in a very long time, so whatever you’re blabbing about doesn’t apply to me. Also, why can’t people say they think a song or album is shit? How is it any different than the people who love every single thing that comes out? 

"This is shit" "This is total trash" - neither add anything to discussion. Nowhere did I say you aren't allowed to do that, but maybe add value or even just substance. Your opinions on anything content-wise could be replaced with a bot coded to switch between canned responses.

I think anybody can say he doesnt like certain song and album but its always good to say WHY you think something is shit. Also saying something is shit about every single song doesnt make sense to me at all. When i think someone’s music went downhill for me i dont visit their forums just to say they are shit now. It is not directly to you cause i dont know you but in general.

^^^^you can criticize something, but at least provide substance to back it up.

i.e. ATS as a whole front to back album is fantastic, but the fact it was toted as being 15 new tracks but only 9 actual songs and an instrumental with 5 interludes that seem thrown in is kinda bullshit. The non singles on MTM did not age well to me, I think it's due to how stripped down everything was that makes them sound unfinished/unpolished.

ATS is trash, MTM is shit

I remember how this works now. Someone dares to dislike a MS/LP song or project and the resident fanboys get all worked up because the hyperventilate over everything the guys put out. The music being put out over the last few years is vastly inferior to what came before it. That’s my opinion, and I think the opinion of a lot of LP fans. Doesn’t mean you have to agree with it. 

Do you want a martyr card stamp or tiny violin. Nobody's getting worked up over people not liking a song. People are pointing out edgelords repeating the same exact insufferable phrases for the past 13 years. Each album's had good and bad tracks and people have different tastes in the music they prefer, but if all you ever are going to say is "this is shit" to every single thing for years, then why are you still here? I've had other bands where their albums stopped appealing to me, but I don't sit with a plate of chicken tendies squawking about how anything they do is awful.
