  1. I've seen the "a female singer is the best way to avoid comparisons to Chester" argument a lot in the last few months and I just don't think that is true at all. No matter what they do next, there will be comparisons to the work they did with Chester. There's simply no way to avoid that. Also, everything Linkin Park has released since 2004 (yep, many people hated Collision Course) has caused a big shitshow in the community, so I don't expect their next move to be any different.
  2. As a customer, you shouldn't accept this in any way. Regardless of how much you spent on the product. CD isn't the only format for this album. They're selling various vinyl variations which cost a lot more than "10 bucks". Add shipping costs and (if you're from a different country) customs charges to that. And keep in mind that not everyone lives in the US. Paying in dollar can get pretty expensive. Anyway, can't wait for Linkin Park to comeback with a female singer and release their first studio album of this new era with parts of songs missing or with the wrong songs included in the album.
  3. Yes, some of the album tracks are exactly the same as on their respective singles. What bothers me the most about this is that they had chosen to use album versions and edited them specifically for the compilation, removing album transitions and creating new transitions specific to the compilation as evidenced by the not-fucked-up CDs and vinyls. However, now they suddenly decided that the previous product they had created and shipped to the entire world wasn't good and replaced some of the tracks for single versions exclusively for the digital release. What are they planning to do about people who purchased the physical album? If this new digital release is what they consider the correct version of the album, it means no one in the entire world received a physical version with the correct versions of the songs. I wouldn't really mind if the problem was only a small vocal effect on Waiting For The End that no one even noticed for 12 years, but an entire album being wrong is ridiculous. Even more frustrating after all the mess that was the Hybrid Theory 20th anniversary box set. You'd think they learned something from that, but it's pretty obvious they didn't.
  4. It segues into Breaking The Habit in the CD (at least in the ones that have the correct versions of the songs). The entire compilation is supposed to be album versions, but edited to remove the album transitions or to make new transitions like on Papercuts -> Breaking The Habit. Now it seems that digital platforms have mostly a mix of unedited album versions and unedited single versions. Waiting For The End is a new version because we didn't have the 2010 version without the transition to Blackout at the end.
  5. What I get from this is that now we have a 3rd version of the compilation on digital platforms and it's different from both the correct physical release and the faulty physical release.
  6. Sepultura had just announced the end of the band. There would be nothing for him after they finished the tour.
  7. For those familiar with Fort Minor's 2005 album The Rising Tied, you might know Skylar Grey as Holly Brook, the singer who was signed to Linkin Park's Machine Shop Recordings and recorded vocals for the Fort Minor songs 'Where'd You Go' and 'Be Somebody.' Last year she revisited what she called her first hit by recording a lo-fi version of 'Where'd You Go' in collaboration with lonelyboy for the deluxe edition of his "lofi chill vibes with skylar grey" album. Listen below: Now she has started teasing another Linkin Park-related project. This time, it's a cover of 'Numb,' one of the band's most successful singles. The track was recorded in collaboration with producer Tommee Profitt and it's coming on May 10th.
  8. The Cambridge dictionary defines impostor as: Their definition of deception is: The Merriam-Webster defines it as: For them, deception is: Now let's take a look at what Hybrid Theory and other cover bands are doing: Thank you for coming to my TED talk. I hope you have learned something today.
  9. So the LPLive community consensus is that lyrics about kids = good and everything else = bad. Got it. What does it have to do with Warner royally fucking up another Linkin Park release? While we're in the topic of lyrics about family, let's take some time to appreciate this beautiful song by blink-182:
  10. Some fans who ordered the zoetrope double vinyl received only 1 zoetrope disc and the other is a dark grey recycled one: https://twitter.com/DemetriParides/status/1780410769785368807 https://twitter.com/BIONICPRIME/status/1780633341231812770
  11. 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.
  12. While the digital edition of Papercuts contains album versions of the songs, we've been seeing reports (like in this Reddit thread) from fans all over the world about their physical editions (CD and vinyl) having different versions of the songs. It appears some countries got the album versions while others got the single versions. We ask your help to get to the bottom of this. If you purchased a physical edition of the compilation, let us know which edition you have, where it was manufactured and which version of the songs (album or single) is included in it. We've also heard about the center of the vinyls having the wrong lengths for a few songs. If you have noticed any other manufacturing errors in any edition of the compilation, let us know about it.
  13. Agreed. That's pretty shitty and gives them impression of their team putting the lowest effort possible on this compilation. The album transitions completely ruin the listening experience. The only thing they did right was QWERTY, which seems to be newly edited.
  14. I never realized people didn't know that QWERTY was a working title. I remember when the song was debuted we were waiting for an official release to see what the final title would be and when LPU 6 came out, people were saying the studio version was "obviously a demo" and that the final version would sound different and have a different title. Before the Minutes To Midnight tracklist was announced, some sites had "Behind Your Lies" or "Lies" listed as one of the potential songs on the album because that's what they thought the final title of QWERTY would be.
  15. Welcome to the debut episode of the LPLive Podcast. In this episode we'll discuss Linkin Park's greatest hits collection 'Papercuts', the tracklist choice and the impact of these songs.
