I think the biggest bummer is just that One Step Closer with the modern outro isn't on there at all. Including this would have taken care of that. I know it's basically just a repeat of the bridge but it adds so much imo. The extended intros are nice as well.

Do y'all think we'll get another full track ahead of the release to promote it? Since they gave us She Couldn't, I think the next one would probably be something like Carousel or And One that is much closer to the final HT sound. I'd love for it to be released not just so that we can enjoy it before, but to give more exposure and capture those who might have brushed off she couldn't but would be captured by that sound.

Yeah exactly. Pretty much how I feel about certain political leaders too lol. The childish demeanor should cross a line with any rational person.

Why? There are multiple things in the box set that people may already own, and multiple things that you can't get with the other bundles.

Late to add this, but one of my holy grails is whatever STP material exists out there. I feel like we heard a few times that Chester was working on an album with them right? I'd love to hear any songs they had, the EP they did will always be something special in Chester's catalogue to me.

Just realized one thing that's sort of missing - Reanimation's 5.1 mix. That would have been cool to have in the big pack if we're getting it on vinyl and disc anyways. I've always said that if I bought reanimation it would definitely be the 5.1 DVD.

So I know this is not LP, but I was trying to prove it wasn't and can't find much info. Is there somewhere where the mislabeling of this track as LP is documented? Such as how it came to be labeled that way, who actually performs it, LP being asked, etc? I can't find much actual info about it. I wasn't deep enough in the fandom to be on sites like this at the time but I figured it must have come up here with the popularity of What I've Done/Transformers

I've been wrestling with cancelling my pre-order. But I think I'm gonna get it, enjoy it for a moment, and then sell the pieces I don't want (book, lithographs, Cassette). I'm sure someone out there would be down to buy it who didn't want the whole thing

That is a good point. It would sound dated only in the same way that "Blinding Lights" by the weekend sounds dated. But ti would be harder for most people to accept because we're really deep in the 80s revival stuff, but scratching and sampling from the likes of She Couldn't hasn't really been brought back in the same way yet.

I'm interested in acoustic versions of OML songs, since they talked so much about how the songs initially existed only as acoustic demos. Also whatever Mike's cowbell sound ended up on, as well as "Locked outside" since it made its way onto the board in that one photo along with friendly fire.

Good list of missing items. I'd add 2014 Download performance, but remove the remastered version of HT. It really doesn't need a remaster imo. Also, as much as I'm a stickler for having the best quality possible, I'm not sure blu-ray would offer anything for these, unless it was upscaled (which would probably be a waste of money)

Yes, it is currently online still. I'm not sure if we're allowed to say what site, but it's out there.

Wow thanks for the tip, I'm doing the same! EDIT: I'm not sure that's how it works actually, the info seems sort of incomplete. The picture is the super deluxe, but it says 1 disc, has an option to go with CD instead, etc. I'm not feeling confident that it's the boxset...

Man, I guess I'm going to pull the trigger on the big set but I really wish there was just the 5 CD collection subset of merch. Also, do we know if High Voltage/My December are here? I'm guessing they're on LPU rarities? It would be funny and tragic if they're nowhere to be found among all these songs.

Can someone break down the track list on all the discs/vinyls? I'm so confused lol. Mainly, I'm not sure what's on the "LPU rarities" and what's on the HT EP. I'm guessing HT EP is all the stuff we've seen on Mike's computer and on the campaign, and LPU rarities are other songs like Step Up, So Far Away, etc.?

No it wasn't hard to figure out lol. But we were slightly biased having seen the tracks when Mike accidentally shared them anyways. But yeah, it's crazy how people are like "are they gonna announce a new singer?" and all these wild guesses.

That's why I'm thinking we'll definitely get that, or POA, during the promotion for the release for sure. Fan favorites that everyone can enjoy hearing some new verses to.

I'm thinking they just renamed it to indicate that the in yourself jam was a short "edit" of the full song. But that we're not actually going to get an edited file of it. Also, just heard the song. Definitely sounds real, definitely sounds like Mike, Mark, Joe's scratching. Sweet! Also some of the grooviest bass I think I've heard on an LP song

Agreed. I'm thinking they'll release something hardcore fans already know but is a totally new song to casual fans, like Carousel. And then they'll probably release whatever versions of Points of Authority, Essaul, etc. on the way to the release date to keep the general audience who knows the real versions of those songs intrigued. I'm curious if it will actually be on Spotify though or just a download or YouTube video. I hope it's an all-out disc + streaming + vinyl etc.

I was hoping for the same. But also, I'm guessing that the song is a lot more than the short jam they played live, vocals and all. At least I'm hoping so. So it's not like we really already have the song. And that would make sense as to why the file in that folder is another "edit" of the song.

I think if Hybrid Theory is part of the release it will most certainly be the edition with high voltage/my december. One thing I'd love is for them to have it where the transition between high voltage and cure for the itch happens as originally planned. Also, it's got me wondering if there will be some live recordings included as well, especially stuff that might be lesser-known by casual fans like Pushing Me Away on piano, My December live, etc.

Idk how to drop this in but here's today's finding in meme form: https://imgur.com/gallery/71Gmx0q But actually, it would be super dope if it wasn't the case and they're just doing this as a tease

Agreed. I'm kinda bugged that some of the songs aren't making it. Maybe these songs are all the ones that the band actually liked at some point trying to get the record deal for Hybrid Theory though, and those other songs weren't? We know So Far Away wasn't really on any of the discs that have been leaked for example. Maybe they never really took that song's potential seriously so they aren't releasing it here.

So we now likely have the full list of songs. 3 that we've potentially never heard in any form, and hopefully some cleaned up versions of others we have (I really want She Couldn't to get a nice cleanup to make it a little less muddy). Hopefully we get some previews soon!

Honestly just releasing the album on Spotify with the "missing" tracks would be dope af for that anniversary. I'm sure all the casual LP fans who are big enough fans to have listened to the whole album would love to hear No Roads Left, Chance of Rain, QWERTY etc. for the first time. They're all great and as much as I appreciate the desire to edit down the album to the absolute best songs, Chance of Rain and QWERTY would add a ton of color and variety to the album imo.
