"Sing that shit motherfucker"

This is so easily the best one. It's not even close. These feel a lot more realized than volumes 1 and 2 where you can definitely tell they were written in two hours or so.

Why? All four singles from HT were absolutely massive. I'm more surprised that it got 5th and beat POA since I always assumed that was the most popular "non-single" from the album

The EP is on iTunes at the very least, so I'd assume it's on everything

Copped it for ~$140 on Amazon UK. I'll take getting it a week later for a $60 discount

There's a good chance the Stick N Move demo is from Chester's audition tape

There's no way there's not multiple tiers. Bare minimum there'll be a vinyl reissue. From there I'm sure they'll have a version with just the CDs, one with the album + some merch etc. I'll be shocked if the top version isn't upwards of $300 though

I feel about the same about volume 2 as I did volume 1. They're both fine. The context of knowing that he did these on stream and being able to watch his process elevates them a bit, but there's nothing here I'm probably gonna go back to

We never got OFFICIAL confirmation that Warrior was War, but we do know that Warrior was a working title the band used during THP. It was on a songboard with KTTK, AFN, Wastelands, MTG etc., so it's pretty likely that it became War

I've told this story on here a few times I think, but I met Chester back in 2014. The meet and greet rules were repeated no fewer than 5 times and within seconds of Chester coming out, he broke every single one lol. No hugs? "Bring it in man of course I'll give you a hug". No personal selfies? "You wanna take a selfie? Of course!" Don't ask them to sign more than one item? "I'll sign as many things as you brought my man". When he got to me, he gave me a hug and told me my hair was badass. That nobody else's expectations or standards mattered as long as I was happy with who I was. It's a nice message that I feel like bears repeating.

I don't know guys, imagine Linkin Park getting political? They could never

I can get him not wanting to do a proper live release. He said a lot that the shows were meant to be an experience in the moment and a release could dilute that. But yeah, the Soundcheck Sessions release was weird, especially since he said a few streams ago that part of the issue with a live release was that he played LP songs in the set and the rights could get messy... but 60% of the only solo live release he's done is LP songs lol

Nothing Makes Sense Anymore, World's On Fire, Hold It Together, Can't Hear You Now, and Promises I Can't Keep are among my favorite things associated with LP. I'd take any of those over a ton of big "fan favorite LP tracks" any day of the week. RFMS, WAIF, PTS, Over Again etc. are all great too. Throw in shit like Kenji, Slip Out The Back, and The Hard Way from FM... Easily all A+ songs IMO

I don't know, even there I'd still say it's mostly great songs. I'd argue most of his bad/mediocre solo music came from TRT. PT had maybe 3 songs I wouldn't consider great/A+: About You, CAL, and Lift Off. Plus Fine absolutely bangs. Yeah none of the stuff he's throwing together on stream has been A+, but he's making these tracks in less than 3 hours. I'd be SHOCKED if they were lol

You're gonna be waiting a while lol. WID, COG, and ND (the next three closest ones) aren't even halfway there yet

They need to make music with the sound of whatever they want.

You're quickly reaching Jze levels of "repeating the same joke over and over"

You're acting as if people on here never critique the mixing/production of LP's stuff. Living Things suffers from a lot of the same problems as this (the vocals just kind of sitting atop a wall of noise that's hard to actually make anything out of), and probably the most common thing said about that album is how awful the production is (and it is truly bad). I can promise you that if this was Linkin Park - Amends and it was exactly the same, I would dislike it just as much as I do now.

Disregarding all the drama and how I feel about Grey Daze as people, I don't like this album. That's not to say there aren't positives to it. Syndrome and Soul Song were pleasant surprises and I actually really liked what they did with In Time. The instrumental is really dope and the contrast between Chester's aggressive vocals in the chorus and how subdued the track is actually works pretty well IMO. Apart from those three, though, there's nothing here I could ever see myself going back to. For the most part, the production is an absolute mess and B12 holds a special place as the worst thing any member of Linkin Park is attached to.

Saying an album was not one of the worst decisions of the band's career because it was commercially successful is not the same as saying it's good/better because it was commercially successful
