Acapellas + Instrumentals out now: https://www.qobuz.com/nz-en/album/from-zero-a-cappellas-instrumentals-linkin-park/yikplpgrdc6jc

The site was updated. This weeks update refers to links and releases on Spotify. But, before I will mention what was updated, few words about that service. Spotify is in my opinion one of those with-big-mess service and that's because, it doesn't work as other streaming services or digital stores in terms of "Available release" vs "not available release" mainly because when the label removes a release from digital stores, Spotify doesn't remove it from their database, the only thing that Spotify does is removing only the link to that release from the discography that's on the artist page and that's all. It doesn't remove or block that release and doesn't remove or block the songs on that release. Of course there is no needed to say that if you still have a link to the release that was removed, it will still work and you might be able to listen to it without any problems. Also, if you don't have a link to it, that's not a problem either, you can easily find it via google and you can find stuff like the whole BITS single or LITE single (both releases) etc. So how you can see it's a mess. So with this Spotify issue, it's hard to tell whether something was removed from that platform or not. So we already know that when the label is removing any release from all digital stores and streaming platforms, stupid Spotify does nothing and just removing the link to it from the artist's page but, the next question is why you can sometimes still listen to the songs if the release was theoretically (at this point on Spotify not technically) removed from all platforms? First of all Spotify still has all the info and the audio files in it's database, second of all is like I said - Spotify doesn't block entirely the release or the songs in any way. The key here is the ISRC codes. When the label register the song under ISRC code, not only all the info about the song including credits is attached to it but also all kinds of restrictions, if the song was meant to be album only etc. When the label wants the song to be available in only one specific country, it sets all that information to song's ISRC code, then the streaming platforms reads it from the code and sets the availability of that song in that specific country. So basically if the release which was "removed" from Spotify or it is not available in your country contains the same versions of the songs with the same ISRC codes as the songs from the other release that it is available in your country, the songs in that "removed" release will be working for you as well. Here are some examples of that: Powerless digital single was released only in Japan, well I'm not from Japan so the link to that is not available for me when I will check Linkin Park discography on Spotify, however I had the link on the site, so here it is - the song on that single is working for me, I can listen to it, and that's because the Powerless single has always contained the album version of the song with the same ISRC as the song on LT and LT album is available for me on Spotify so that's why I can play it on the single too and I guess anyone else can play the Powerless single unless LT album or the song Powerless is not available for you. As for another example, let's check the release that was removed from all digital platforms long time ago and it is not available in all countries - Papercuts (093624846031) - if you can still play all or some songs from it, it means those songs are available in some other releases that are available on Spotify in your country. OK, now is there a way to check in which country any specific release on Spotify is available? Yes! And it's very easy - all you have to do is view the source code of the link to the release you want to check (for example by adding "view-source:" before the url) and in that source code look for the word "allowed" and then the case is pretty simple - there is a word "allowed" - the release is available, if there is no word "allowed" - the release is not available in any country. Here are few examples: Powerless single - available in one country and in the content="JP" you have the code of the country in which is available; Papercuts (093624846031) - not available in any country; this release - is not available in my country, but it is available in 61 other countries. The site was updated over the 16 Spotify links that I found for various releases and confirmed that those releases are available in at least one country. Some of the links are for the releases that had "Not available anymore" status on my site. Those are: - added Spotify link as main link; - changed the status of the whole release from "Not available anymore" to "Streaming only". It is available on Spotify in 22 countries. - added Spotify link as main link and moved the iTunes link to notes; - changed the status of the whole release from "Not available anymore" to "Streaming only". It is available on Spotify in 43 countries. - added Spotify link as main link (the iTunes link is in the notes); - changed the status of the whole release from "Not available anymore" to "Streaming only". It is available on Spotify in México and Malaysia.

First episode showing behind the scenes of the World Tour 2025.

I think it the all stuff releated to it was only for new Mike's music. Also, the whole "New era of Mike Shinoda music" campaign started with In My Head which was released in March 2023.

In this week's update, I took into account the whole Fort Minor section! Notes in a lot of releases were changed/re-written, I was re-checking all releases if they are still available. Also, I was going through the past iTunes Store and other digital stores via web archive. Here are details about some of the bigger changes that you might or might not notice, I will also add my two cents about some releases. I split the "We Major" album into two separate releases, because it is available in two different places and different qualities and formats. Going through the archived links to some The Rising Tied albums released on iTunes, I found that the censored deluxe version of the album was also having the interactive booklet, so I updated the "The Rising Tied (Deluxe Version) 093624992165" with that info and added the iTunes link to the notes. At this point I was trying to confirm if the censored bonus version of Collision Course was having the booklet too just like the same but explicit version of it, but the earliest archived links I found was only from 2011 and Apple's withdrew the interactive booklets by that time. Added the alternate names for both deluxe versions of TRT that were released in 2005 on iTunes and years later they appeared on other platforms, the alternate names will be included when you will export the info to text file and you can also use the search bar type the alternate name and it will find the release. All necessary releases have a sentence in notes that in early years some tracks on them were the single versions that few years later were updated to album versions. Added to notes of all "Petrified/Remember The Name" releases that's a maxi single. The maxi single is the singke containing at least or no less than 3 tracks and those 3 tracks can be various types, for example a release with 2 audio tracks and a video track as a third track (e.g. BTH CD single). As for releases that have 5 or 6 tracks it really depends on how the artist/label want to treat them. "Petrified/Remember The Name" digital release as you could see on the official FM website, from the beginning it was called maxi single. Also, I added the "Petrified (Clean) Radio Edit" and "Remember the Name (Clean) Radio Edit" that you could download for free at fortminor.com to the FM Free Downloads section on the site. Both were mp3s 128kbps, they were having the cover and those tags. The main maxi single of the WYG was available at supraphonline.cz store in the last few years. The release was removed from that store and the release is not available anywhere for purchase. The orther version of the maxi single is available only for streaming on Spotify but it contains the first track in censored version. Thoughs on the [Where'd You Go [Clean] // {1tr, 054391566263} link] release - I think I have never noticed that, until I was doing the re-check now, the version on this digital single is censored in the different way vs the censored version on the album, the explicit parts of the lyrics were just muted. Weird, because if you will check the censored version that's on the physical release of TRT or that's on the censored digital edition of TRT, Mike wrote the alternate version of the lyrics specially for the censored version, for example the line "I want you to know it's a little fucked up" he replaced with "I want you to know it's a little messed up". Where'd You Go [Explicit] // {1tr, 054391573766} link - This release has an issue, it supposed to have the explicit version of the song while it has censored version of it. All releases in the single section have now notes when the info is exported to text file. Also, if it's about the singles, take into account that some stores/streaming platforms can have the album version of the song while some others can have a single edit version of the same song on the same release. For example the 1-track release of Believe Me on mora.jp contains the album version while iTunes/Apple Music and Qobuz have single version. The same thing happening with other singles too. ----- Also, small update on LP releases. Added link to Qobuz to notes on all of those. Added to notes of this release the info and link to Australian Warner Music store, from which of it you can purchase the Hi-Res version of that album in WAV format. Thanks to user @capoofan3 for the confirmation on what release is this, because as you might notice, there is nothing in the product description. All the League of Legends Soundtrack releases were moved from LP site to Side Projects. That's all. If you have any questions about any release, let me know about it!

Be Somebody versions on Linkinpedia, the censored version of the song was released for the first time on The Rising Tied (Deluxe Edition), the one released in December 15, 2023. Previously there was no any physical or digital edition containing the censored version of it, so that needs to be fixed. And BTW the censored version of There They Go was also released for the first time in the same edition, so you can add it to versions of that song too.

Sometimes I'm wondering how some of those random stuff played live vs not present in the studio version came from. Like for example in live version of HITC in the first few seconds of the verse Phoenix plays some stuff that are not present in the studio version. Is the stuff he played are from the alternate studio version that didn't make the cut, or he just played it randomly during the rehearsal and Mike said ok let him play like that.

Added: From Zero: A Cappellas // {11tr, 093624833819} link One thought about the acapella album - for some reasons, all tracks mixed by Rich Costey are in the 96.0kHz/24-bit quality while all others are 48.0kHz/24-bit.

You know I thought there is a very tiny little difference on vocals, but I compared it again and not sure anymore. I would say you're right.

Now we know what it is, the acapella version confirms it, it's: "Let's get out alive" Anyone want's to add that to the lyrics on Linkinpedia?

The "From Zero (Intro) [A Capella]" has just slightly different mastering, other than that it's the same like in the standard album.

Added tracklist and link to the main post. From Zero (Intro) acapella is included.

There was a small update of the site this week. Powerless digital single appeared on Qobuz recently, so I added link to it to notes of the Powerless single. Small update of the notes + added link to Qobuz. + some other small corrections. The main post in this thread now contains links to specific section of the list, you can now go directly to Linkin Park/Music Videos or any side projects with just one click and of course the whole link to this thread with any section pointed at the end of the url address gonna work.
