The melodies are nice, but I guess this song doesn't really have anything "special" that would make it different from other OML songs (it reminded me a bit of Halfway Right) so it makes sense it didn't make the album cut (Lost/Numb situation). As far as the collection release, it seems kinda odd/rushed so I wonder if Mike and the band are really fully on board with this. I mean, Mike has been pretty active on social media in the last few months promoting his stuff but has barely said anything about this upcoming release. Anyway, if it's just a vinyl release, I guess I'll just save money lol don't care for vinyl. Also, no THP is a disgrace (it's my favorite LP Album). If it had been a "greatest hits" I would have understood it, but if it's a compilation of singles, put at least one song there.

Just based on all the press the LP guys did during HT20 and M20, my gut feeling is that Mike, Dave and Joe are 100% on board on continuing with LP, Brad is cautiously optimistic about it, and Rob may be the one who does not want to continue as LP. Anyway, good for Mike for continuing to do music but I honestly have no interest for any of his solo stuff.

A couple of new interviews with Mike: Lou Brutus / HardDrive Online Radio: Zach Sang Show:

I ordered from the LP store on August 13, literally within an hour of pre orders being available. Package hasn't even shipped yet.

Same eagle shirt at HotTopic for $17.52 https://www.hottopic.com/product/linkin-park-eagle-t-shirt/11410812.html#q=linkin%2Bpark&start=2. Sure, probably different (lower?) quality, but still a better deal.

Check your PMs. I have two codes (LPU and Ticketmaster) to give away. I can't attend this show but I'd be happy to help members of this page.

This is such a conflict for me. I'm a huge LP fan. I'm a fucking huge Chester fan. I would even go as far as to say I'm a bigger Chester fan than LP fan. One part of me wants them to just call it quits because Chester cannot be replaced. But another of part of me thinks it's just no fair for the rest of the guys. I mean, they have worked their butts off to be the band they are now, and it's just not fair for them to "start over" with a different name just because of what happened. Anyway, I'll support them no matter what they decide to do.

I'm devastated and speechless. I'm still in denial. This is so fuckin sad

It´s waaaay buried in the back, but I think it´s a high falsetto like he did it in the first couple of live performances. I wish the higher pitch backing vocals (done by Mike live) during the chorus were more present in the studio version though.

I've listened to the album a few times already. To sum it up, I like this record more than I thought I would (thanks LP for releasing the weak shit earlier?) but it´s definitely on my bottom 3 (with Meteora, and Living Things) While I enjoy listening to most of these tracks, a common denominator for me is that a lot of times I feel like the songs end up going nowhere. What I mean by that is that they start slow, build up, get louder, and then right after the 2nd chorus I just kept on waiting for the "oh shit" moment that never happened. It´s almost like they are incomplete. 01 Nobody Can Save Me: I like this song but the chorus sounds like a verse to me. I wished it had a stronger chorus and a better breakdown/bridge. 02 Good Goodbye: Not a fan of the features. Mike could have just had his own verses. Chorus is catchy. 03 Talking to Myself: Great song! I wished the production was better. I feel like it lacks the energy we´ve seenon the live performances. 04 Battle Symphony: I still like this song, even though it´s one of those that sound flat since it just never "explodes" 05 Invisible: Not a huge fan, but after listening to the official instrumental, I really like the subtle details in the background. 06 Heavy: It's catchy, I'll give you that, but it´s definitely my least favorite on the album. 07 Sorry for Now: I really like this one. It has a great vibe, although I wish those chipmunks weren't there. It´s probably the only song that develops and takes you to different places until the very end. 08 Halfway Right: I also like this one, but it's another example of a song that I wish had a better bridge. 09 One More Light: Probably my favorite song on the record. Beautifully done, even though I wished that last chorus had a full band and some strings. Still solid. 10 Sharp Edges: Another song that I really like. And just like most of the album, I feel it lacks a better bridge at the end. Overall a decent collection of songs (I don't see any of them making it to my top 10 or 15 LP tracks of all time though). Besides the chipmunks, and the lack of surprise on these songs, I still wonder why in the hell Shinoda can´t just have a real acoustic drum sound on these songs. What is the point of having a drummer track songs if on most of them, it{s going to sound like they were made on a computer. I feel like a lot of these songs (Battle Symphony, Invisible, Sharp Edges, to name a few) would have an extra "punch" and energy if they had Rob´s original drum track.

I'm not sure if this is officially the "first" review for OML (I think a scan with Kerrang´s review was uploaded today), but Heavymag from Australia has posted their album review here: https://heavymag.com.au/album-review-linkin-park-one-more-light/#.WRTuUfk1_IU

Another meh song. Don't hate it, but I'll probably only listen to it whenever I listen to the album from beginning to end. Also, I'd like to know why Mike hates a real snare sound so much. As a drummer, it drives me nuts that everything that Rob plays on an acoustic kit ends up sounding like a beat Mike could have just programmed.

I got pit tickets for Charlotte. I have been trying to get pit tickets for Cincy, but even though I'm from Lpu and was 140 in the list (didn't even wait until 2pm since I saw that time or spots didn't matter), there are no pit tickets available unless you buy their $250 premium bullshit package.

I just listened to Talking to Myself with headphones, and as Astat pointed it out, you can clearly hear Chester singing on top of the studio vocals pretty much all the time except for the verses.

Good show. I´m very impressed with Talking to Myself, I like it a lot more than any of the other songs released so far. Obviously we will never be 100% satisfied with their setlists, and unfortunately with a 7th album now, we´ve reached the point in which 95% of their live show will consist of singles. Now, if I had to make changes to the current set (without being one of those idiots that like to post their top 22 LP songs including b-sides or stuff we know they'll never play again), I would suggest two realistic changes: -Get rid of the Castle of Glass mix and replace it with Final Masquerade (if they want something mellow) or one high energy song (APFMH, No More Sorrow or Wretches and Kings) -If they are only going to play ONE fucking song from THP (my favorite album), I'd be happy with GATS, Rebellion or ALITS instead of Wastelands.

Linkin Park presents their "Let's ignore the southeast tour". Anyway, I'll try to make it to the Cincy and Charlotte shows.

It´s fixed now, but the way the original post was written was misleading. I'm surprised Atlanta is not on the list.

I doubt they will be playing all those cities. I´m sure they are just trying to get people interested around the country and email when the band is somewhat "close.". I just don´t see them playing Memphis AND Nashville, for instance.
