    Jeff Blue also told us it was Pushing Me Away.

     

    A lot of people have pointed out that the strings at the end of Cure For The Itch transits into High Voltage. Mike said it's because he used the same keyboard and sounds on those two songs and By Myself. Jeff Blue actually owns a CD that has all 3 songs and High Voltage comes right after Cure For The Itch in the tracklist, so I believe that was the new version of High Voltage. It would mean that this version of High Voltage was created in the same period as other Hybrid Theory demos, not after the album was finished.

    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.

    New Linkin Park music is new Linkin Park music.

     

    I love the song too, but I don't really see it ever getting an official release. Mike doesn't seem very fond of it and he was really upset about the song leaking and blindly blamed Brian Howes for the leak even though it leaked among a bunch of other Linkin Park material, meaning it clearly came either from Warner or directly from Linkin Park's camp. Releasing What Are You Worth would mean giving Howes money and Mike made it clear he never wants to work with him again.

    But really was him?

    probably some of the tracks in the playlist is the single version (eg: LOATR). if only 20 tracks selected, could end up just a 1-disc. what if they made CD/DVD contents with both CD for audio and DVD for music video collections. LP never had proper DVD for all of the music videos.

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

    This discussion is what's awesome and unique about Linkin Park.

    The band has such a fusion sound that some of the hardcore fans are EDM influenced, some are HipHop influenced and others are Metal influenced.

     

    And obviously each one will think album X or Y is waaay better and the "true Linkin Park peak"

    Absolutely, I've seen discussions here about latest Ariana Grande music and then some BMTH. You can't find that in another fandoms which are more genre based

    My dislike for OML is well known, BUT I do respect it for the same reason I respect THP: The band and/or Mike had a clear vision for it, they did what their really wanted without caring about the consequences.

     

    Where I do draw the line is that THP is more akin to my personal preferences.

     

    LT, on the other hand, I've always felt that a sonic Frankenstein, trying to please everyone but archiving none. 

     

    What do you want? A big hit album, a electronic folk record, another experimental output...?

     

    THP and OML seems a reaction to me

    Only BID? what about LITE and COG? It was even weird they made a POWERLESS a single but only international.

    BID was made to bring back people who only liked their two first records. In other words: What people expect LP should do. I hate that song, but they did a great job.

    I think it's disappointing..

    But tbf the promotion of the album was underwhelming. Seemed like an underground record. GATS was the lead and didn't even get a proper music video. UIG got two and then Joe didn't want to participate in directing them anymore. OML got the promo THP needed and even though Heavy was played over and over again, it didn't appear to me that the album was promoted that well either besides that stripped-down/unplugged + interview format that mostly Mike and Chester did. I think the reception came with the passing of Chaz. I wonder how TTM would've ended up charting if it were released as a single.

    THP seemed like a "Mike only" wish and the rest of the band and the label weren't big fans of it. 

     

    Any possible marketing for OML was overshadowed by the vitriol received.

    ALTNC is fine. Idk if It's Goin' Down is going to be part of this release.

    If we count all the LP singles by LP, excluding collars, they would fill an entire CD, so maybe neither Steve Aoki single is feature.

     

    PS: Wouldn't that be funny that, we're all here debating and in the end nothing happens?
