And that's why you don't release this stuff on vinyl

I've always thought that Mike was the creative master behind the band and Brad carried on all the legal, marketing, boring stuff... But it didn't ocurred to me to see him as THE leader of the band. Interesting approach...

If the recording was made with analog equipment, like with older recording as you mentioned, for sure it's the best way. Since most of recording nowadays are made digitally, you're paying double for the same shit, just because looks cool.

I wouldn't have said better. Although in hindsight I'm glad that the mellow songs dominated MTM, they had to prove that they're weren't just a nu metal band. I wouldn't have included on MTM but perhaps as a B-Side on a CD single.

Neither do I. Linkin Park is a 2000s band, modern sound, everything digital, vinyl is far from being the best physical format for their music. But, that's the rules of the market. PS: Don't take it as an attack if you like to collect it, I just see it pointless.

At this point their going to surpass Sean Downell

Yeah, it's like they had regular a SBD recording for the majority of the show and mixed it with the already released songs.

Three? HT20, M20 and the remaining?

Maybe they will release the full show before MTM20 since they've decided that it doesn't belong to that era and won't be included. Daydreaming

You can't force LP to get out from retirement, but you can't expect that a tribute band, with their hard work unexpectedly had filled that gap, to suddenly stop because you got butthurt. That's how life works, they fill a need for Linkin Park live shows. I'm not fan of tribute bands, I've seen a couple of Metallica and Megadeth tributes and they were just ok, but not everyone can afford to travel 1000kms to see those bands live, so I get the point of them existing. Some of you so pissed off with a tribute band when there's things worst like awful AI covers with Chester's voice and certain loser using vocal outtakes in reworked albums to revive his mediocre grunge band.

For a greatest hits made for casual listeners...? Don't get your hopes high

Honestly, I think you've just made up the content of the interview just to fit your worldview.

RESPECT

Seems smoke and mirrors to me

PMA Live from Soundcheck would be great

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

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

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.

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

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

I don't care, I love both stuff
