bloodbath

Well, it doesn't sounds crazy. Wouldn't be the first time that some marketing campaign comes out late

Selling 1000 variants of a vinyl months few months after Chester's death Selling posters of Chester during his time in LP despite being a GD album Implying that Chester wasn't happy with LP and his true band was GD There are HUGE difference between what LP and GD have done. Please, don't fucking compare

Remember when OML came out? Many people saying "Linkin Park doesn't make metal anymore, what a bunch of sellouts". Same people who haven't heard of THP and repeat the same arguments from 2007 when MTM came out. Where have you been that decade?

Same here dude. It’s crazy to me. Tons of LP fans were begging for a more hard rocking album from them and when they finally delivered, nobody bought in. I thought the album was going to be huge in the rock world. Feels like I’m the only one who dug it sometimes. They didn't want a harder LP album, they wanted a Meteora 3. Nothing else.

The band played it safe with Papercuts. 90% of the tracks scream "you know us for this". Rather to try to impose their own tastes. ATS is the band's favorite record but they know casual fans still doesn't like it, it makes sense that WFTE is included, since it's very amicable. Even though tracks likeCatalyst and WTCFM are GREAT, somebody used to "classic" LP might find it weird. WFTE is a good teaser for those who really have curiosity. The saddest part, of course, is that they even don't trust in THP. I don't think they hate it, but everything related to that album was a trainwreck. It makes sense that omitted it. But the biggest oddball is Qwerty. I have the theory that, thanks to the success to Lost, LP knows that casual fans crave for that heavy-yet-catchy sound. Giving them an obscure track that reminds to the Nu Metal era, makes some sense.

Hope so!

I always had my suspicious that the Berlin 14 DVD was scrapped because maybe the album cycle wasn't being as well received as it expected.

That's it, we usually speak of music like it's an ongoing civil war. If you stream music, you don't have digital music on your computer. If you collect vinyl, CD is the most absolute evil. There's no valid rules to listen your music, and you know what's best? All can be complementary.

Here's the deal: LP has two main audiences. The hardcore fans, aka: lurkers of this page, and casual fans. The boxsets were meant for us, even the success of Lost was totally unexpected. But now isn't the time for us, is for the casual fans who haven't heard of Qwerty. Yes, there are people who in 18 years haven't had the time, the occurrence or whatever it is, to discover the song. You have the right to feel disappointed, but this isn't meant for us.

If that's a song I don't have on physical format, like Qwerty or Across the Line, I'm happy with it. I don't mind if it's 5 or 10 years old.

B Sides and Rarities? Wild guess

Track 14 is Carousel No, seriously, I'd love they include a HTEP track.

We're OLD.

Anything but another OML track please

Some of you are disappointed with Friendly Fire. I don't get it, it's an outtake from OML, you know what to expect. There's no room for surprise.

Yes! Very easy for them to pull it off the rest of their set. Must be already mixed and mastered

Seems like somebody leaked the 14th track. Just a demo from the MTM sessions https://youtu.be/khFFIWg4WCE?si=yXWzmAERlLLvs-YM

That version is even great than the actual track!

That miscommunication between fans and artist sounds more like it.

I've always found Mike's answer quite... vague. "It's sound the same because I use the same keyboard". Well, you could use the same keyboard for a whole album and still don't "magically" create perfect transitions from the end of one song to the beginning of another.

But really was him?

March the first? Just guessing

SOTD would have been more interesting, the radio edit cuts the entire transition to WID,

Perhaps because they can spill all they can't in their daily lifes

Forum might be shit, fandom might be toxic... But we all keep coming back. Birds of a feather flock together they say.
