  2. "Posted 1 hour ago"
  3. The teasers are literally coming from Linkin Park. No way it's a solo thing from Mike.
  4. They actually had to do that in China.
  5. We are digging deeper just to throw it away.
  6. Today we have something special for Fort Minor and Styles Of Beyond fans: a demo titled 'Flight Path' by Ryu. Before we get to the song, here's a little history: Junkyard Scientific was a name created in the 90's by a friend of Styles Of Beyond's MC Ryan Maginn (aka Ryu). The members of Styles Of Beyond always thought it was a good name for a hip-hop group and actually considered changing their name to Junkyard Scientific prior to the release of their debut album "2000 Fold". However, as Styles Of Beyond had already earned some recognition in the underground scene, they were advised against doing so. Despite this, several songs in their debut album make references to the name, namely 'Dangerous Minds', 'Muuvon', 'Part II (Endangered)', 'Survival Tactics' and 'Marco Polo'. The latter was originally an Emcee 007 song featuring Ryu with production by Mike Shinoda of Linkin Park. References to the name are also present in the early Linkin Park songs 'Fuse', 'Closing' and 'Fiends'. Fast forward several years, around 2011, Ryu, DJ Cheapshot and producer Vin Skully got together with composer James Katalbas in order to create a few songs for The Math Club, a music composing company founded by Cheapshot and Vin Skully. A total of 3 songs from those sessions have been legally registered under the band name Junkyard Scientific (a nod to Styles Of Beyond's early history) for media (TV/film) licensing purposes: 'Animal House', 'Flight Path' and 'Til Next Time'. This was prior to the official reunion of Styles Of Beyond and the release of their long delayed album "Reseda Beach". 'Animal House' was eventually featured on Phil Lord and Christopher Miller's 2014 action comedy film "22 Jump Street," but not included in the soundtrack album which means you can only hear a glimpse of the track exclusively on the film. In the credits, the song is attributed to Ryu as a solo artist. This was the only song of those three to ever be licensed and over the years Ryu has declined offers to release this or either of the other two tracks as they don't represent the kind of music he usually makes and were not made for release to the public. Recently, with the help of our friend Jay Sinkie from SOBCentral, we were finally granted permission to share one of those tracks with the community. Listen to 'Flight Path' by Ryu below.

  7. The quote is translated from Linkinpedia. We list the source there. It was a post in a Facebook page that no longer exists.
  8. Nine years ago today, Linkin Park played their third and final show in Mexico City. This was the band's fourth show in Mexico overall and was followed by a show in Monterrey, their final performance in the country. This show was part of a short run of North American Summer Shows following the cancellation of the North American leg of The Hunting Party North American Tour early in 2015 due to Chester's broken ankle. Back then, the band was playing their infamous DJ style setlist with a lot of shortened songs that transitioned into one another. For this new series of shows, Linkin Park ditched the format and started performing mostly full-length songs again. The first few shows were festival appearances, which forced the band to play shorter setlists, but in Mexico City they were able to debut their new headlining set in full. This show saw the return of 'Points Of Authority', 'Final Masquerade' and 'Crawling' and the addition of Fort Minor's hit single 'Remember The Name' and the project's most recent single 'Welcome' (both replacing 'Mike Solo'). The latter had been debuted at Conan O'Brien the day before this show. 'Rebellion' was listed on an earlier version of the setlist after 'Papercut', but was dropped for an unknown reason. Today we're bringing you a great video recording of this Mexico City performance where the taper got a steady shot of the screen on the venue, making it almost a proshot recording (if it weren't for the audience audio). This video had been on YouTube for a while, but this is the first time we're making it available for download. The DVD includes the commercial for the show as well as the MTV World Stage broadcast of the Monterrey 2012 show. Big thanks to Biel for obtaining this show and allowing us to share it. Enjoy!

  10. 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.
  11. 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.
  12. 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.
  13. 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.
  14. 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.
  15. Sepultura had just announced the end of the band. There would be nothing for him after they finished the tour.
  16. 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.
