the FM remix is dope af. Wished it was longer!

yeah I wish it had a breakdown like the end of about you, it's great but feels so short

The FM remix is awesome, reminds me of the Skin To Bone recharged remix and About You.

I think the community needs to realize that albums are kinda dead in the same way that mid-budget comedies and generation-defining sitcoms are dead. It's the age of EPs that contain extra little content like remixes and slowed/reverbed versions and Mike and the label are playing to it. At least his extra nuggets of content have cool stuff like new verses

I'm disappointed in the lack of open-mindedness, let's at least listen to some of the stuff. The "finer" part seems like he knows it's kinda a joke, I wouldn't take it too seriously

Latest "mood" post on Shinoda's instagram has a new FM logo at the end

Yeah I thought that was interesting. It would be cool to get some "new" FM music in the form of demos or maybe if it's a Mike song but with a previous FM collaborator that makes him wanna brand it with FM as an artist 

OR maybe it's hinting that the next piece of music has a FM feel

I'm glad that Welcome will get a little more love and Be Somebody/There They Go are super underrated. Hope this edition is also on streaming 

Is it an anniversary? Or is this just more of the Shinoda marketing machine pumping to support the new era? Seems like he's getting tons of resources from the label rn

Like leftshoe18 said before, if that's what MS with friends means, I'm on board with this. We're never going to see some songs live ever again like BTH or Crawling since they were too close to Chester. But it would be such a waste that Mike by himself and a tiny band could only play a handful of LP tracks live. I'm pretty sure that he's gonna have plenty of musicians ready to play wherever he goes.

Just because they weren't at the Hollywood bowl doesn't mean we won't get them imo. There was a lot there I thought we wouldn't get, including bleed it out for its "noose" lyrics...

Yeah she killed BIO. I would go to a tour with her so fast.

Mike is clearly hungry to bring LP songs back to a stage and keep their legacy alive between this, the evolution EP, the sound of AO, all the M20 promo...all the way back to him trying to figure out a produced version of LFAA

Nice, he seemed to confirm there's more music on the way even though it's not an album on his discord post. 

I would have really expected an ATS or LT track, there are a lot of sounds there not really represented by these picks

This song actually rules, it would be a big shame if there's not at least one or two followup songs on the way of a similar energy to really make the mood come alive 

Pretty interesting new campaign on Mike's website that teases a "next phase of adoption" a week from now after you play a little interactive game, I wonder what it could be

yeah well, some people are saying that it's just beat saber collaborating with them

Seems likely with the sword emojis. Damn, I thought for a sec there was gonna be an LP angle but it's probably just more LP going on the game along with Mikes new song as a way to promo mikes music

Mike would never be so crass as to reveal any information about the future of Linkin Park, let alone confirmation that the band is over, in a solo single.

Does it have to be a "reveal"? It could just be about his feelings at a certain time. It could be about a few months ago, a conversation when working on Looking For An Answer years ago, etc. Saying this is some kind of reveal is like saying that "Can't hear you now" is an official press release saying he's only gonna have good days from now on

I know convos around the future of LP get tiring, but I don't think it's unreasonable to speculate about his lyrics being about that. It's not like anyone in these forums is saying they are for sure about that or spreading it as misinformation. He called out LP as his "life's work hanging in the balance" in Post Traumatic, and had "Crossing a Line" as a whole promo'd single. I see no reason why he can't revisit those motifs in a new song in 2023, though I also acknowledge that he's not the type to want to dwell. We also know he's had double entendres in the past too

Idk what the lyrics are about but I can't help but interpret them as him trying to make an LP comeback work but having to accept that it's over, which is a big bummer

Anyways, excited for new Mike as always. I hope there's more tracks than just this single

His site has a new glitch thing going on, maybe there's a release date for the single in the HTML or something?

Idk if it's new or not but his Spotify banner is updated and so is one of his thumbnail playlists, tho idk if it's actually new or just the IMH branding

Edit: JK his banner is just the IMH branding. I wonder when the single will actually drop? Been quite a while of promo now 

On the unreleased songs page, both Sir Sly and Pvris are mentioned, but we now have both of their songs:

Sir Sly: Are We Having Any Fun?

PVRIS: TAKE MY NIRVANA 

Ah I must have missed that. Yeah no doubt we will never get, say, a song with him in the verses and Oli Sykes in the chorus/bridge, it would be too similar. But I could see him doing stuff with someone like 100 Gecs who have very aggressive vocals but are doing it in a fresh way (outside of Billie Knows Jamie which is basically nu metal) 

I thought Lights on Last One To Know was great, she added a brightness and energy that Mike couldn't do himself but it didn't feel at all like a Chester replacement.

There's a full vid on YouTube here: 

Mike is clearly eager to keep LP material alive on the stage, and G Flip sounds great. I hope this new Mike era includes a lot of this and eventually, he does recorded music with guests like this who can elevate his writing beyond what he can do vocally. I wonder if that comment about is new stuff not having guests is limited to the next song or the entirety of whatever he's planning to release next

What about the BMI entries, I think I saw something about a couple of new entries with Celph Titled? In any case I'm excited, seems like it might be a rougher and angrier sound than stuff like Happy Endings or In My Head 

Are there any high quality downloads for Dead and Bloated with Chester? I love his voice on that song

Nice catch that the lyric sheet includes Lost lyrics, I don't think I ever noticed that. Shame we didn't get that version with M20

Fighting Myself page says it didn't make the board at NRG, but it did. It's "Shortcut", which the article says later on

KROQ interview about M20

Nah here we go, June 2022. I thought it was even earlier but I guess I'm thinking of Sir Sly

I remember this being talked about quite a long time ago, when was it? Nice to finally have it
