Per this post on Jeff's Instagram 6 weeks ago:

 

Someone commented asking "Sooo how come nothing ever came of this? Legal issues?" and he responded "no just time and family stuff just when I was starting the LP stuff. But I’ll get to it soon. Thx !"

 

Still not hoping for much, but at least there's an update.

Seems smoke and mirrors to me

I don't see this coming out specifically but it would be a shame if they didn't take advantage of all the wonderful live editions in some way. Grab the best of PMA piano, BTH with it's extended intro/outro, the ballad medley, Rolling In The Deep and stuff like that and you have an awesome release

PMA Live from Soundcheck would be great

Imagine next year would be WB releasing another compilation called LINKIN PARK: THE BALLAD COLLECTION

 

1. My December (Piano Version)

2. Pushing Me Away (Piano Version)

3. Shadow of the Day

4. The Messenger

5. Robot Boy

6. TINFOIL+POWERLESS

7. In Between

8. Final Masquerade (Acoustic)

9. Valentine's Day

10. I'LL BE GONE (Primo rework) - this could be their lead single

11. Burning in the Skies

12. ROADS UNTRAVELED

13. The Little Things Give You Away

Pretty sure they would include the album version of Pushing Me Away 

Fingers crossed that they don't fuck It Up in MTM20

I remember @Astat saying that Avenged Sevenfold had something similar to the Shadow Of The Day situation happen to one of their songs on Rock Band or a similar game. One of the guitar tracks simply disappeared from the song's project.

 

Stone Temple Pilots had a previously unreleased extended version of Press Play randomly pop up on a vinyl re-issue of Tiny Music. The company who did the vinyl said that was the version in the master that they received.

 

Julien-K released an instrumental version of Death To Analog and later realized that the instrumental version of Dystopian Girl was never mixed, so they had to mix the instrumental from scratch to replace it.

 

The Mer de Noms vinyl by A Perfect Circle had extended versions of Sleeping Beauty and Over when compared to the ones in the CD.

 

Thirty Seconds To Mars had different versions of One Track Mind released on America. Some fans randomly received the album with a shortened version of the song without A$AP Rocky's vocals.

 

The We Made It single by Busta Rhymes with Linkin Park (technically not a Warner release) had a dirty acapella version released in Europe mislabeled as clean version. The dirty acapella wasn't meant to be released anywhere.

 

That's the ones I can think from the top of my head. I'm sure there are other examples.

Evanescence had a mislabeled track on their Fallen 20. Not to mention that there were b sides missing.

Unless the band has their hands really on this, this kind of things are very usual 

What I've understood so far, this is messier than the HT20:

The idea of the band was as it follows: Instead of just taking the single versions of the tracks (just your regular songs without the 2, 3 seconds of album transitions), they decided to take the album tracks and make new transitions for this tracklist (like Papercut going to BTH instead of OSC), but somewhere along the way, with too many people involved with no clear indications of what they had to do... We had this.

Yeah. This has zero to do with the band and is a label issue. The more removed we get from LP's peak of their career, the more errors that pop up on releases. They learned with HT20 because Meteora 20 was quite well done in my opinion, but this Papercuts is again another mess. At the very minimum they need to fix the versions on streaming/digital to match the physical (even if the physical versions are also wrong....).

 

How can anyone at the label listen to this and not notice the Faint intro is cut, things like this?

Because only us care about this. And we're a small minority

 ha! now that you mentioned that. I haven't opened my HT20 since 2020. I don't even know what copies I have. What error does HT20 have? is there a misprint? 

Well, there are to many to enumerate them so... https://linkinpedia.com/wiki/Hybrid_Theory_(20th_Anniversary_Edition)

HT20 part 2

Like HT20, no quality control whatsoever 

What's the difference between the WID single and album editions? Needless to say that I agree with all of you that this release was lazy

Same here. This is more my thing:

 

 

I don't care, I love both stuff

This is the new LP vocalist

If this is an April's Joke, I've never seen one received with so much disbelief 

Would it be cool but... I don't buy it

I'd never had the LP guys for greedy persons (which is very different from stand your ground when necessary), I'm glad they could put an ending to all of this in amicable terms. 

Speaking of unreleased stuff. Anyone remembers the Butterfly Caught remix? I hope that sees the light someday, I fucking love 100th Window

No disrespect but, aren't you overthinking this a little bit?

If Metallica can't tolerate a joke about Burton but sells his actions figures, I think we can get a pass on this.

Spiritbox are my favourite “new” band. Been a fan since the first EP, their career is so great, loved them in iwabo, but Spiritbox is miles ahead of anything they made in iwabo. Mike is a beast on guitar and you gotta love Courtneys vocals. 

IWABO was great, but a very niche band and very misunderstood. With Spiritbox they've learned from their mistakes and make a music much more accessible

Says the guy that uses Chester’s voice in AI tracks 🐸☕️

No holds barred

Watching Chester die over and over again is the darkest piece of humor I've seen in a long time. 

Am I the only one who thinks that, if they come back, they should do something completely unexpected? Not a nu metal revival, not a mixture of sounds... Just another reinvention.

I don't mind an old-school LP album with Shinoda as a lead singer as long it's in the style of Nobody's Listening, High Voltage (HTEP), etc. Give Joe Hahn something to do beside pressing the MIDI. Let him scratch like he used to.

Thata would only work if they play small venues.

 You have to exactly replicate the 2000-2005 sound, can't be too Carousel or else people ain't gonna like it.
