    nobody knows. At this point though, considering we hardly got any BTS footage I think chances are pretty low.

    LP should get Rick Rubin as their producer again and stop featuring other artists on their studio albums. That's when they really shine.

    I didn't bother reading the 13 pages of comments, so I will just post my thoughts as fresh and spontaneous (and stupid) as they can be.

    With the obvious radio sound of the album, this kind of videos, and the 300000 pop writers intervening in the writing process, it's pretty much impossible for me to take the album seriously anymore.

    Just thought i'd share that today was the first time we had the whole family in the car as we took care of some Saturday errands. Wife and 2 kids ages 2 and 4. I've been a nut for LP since March 2001 and of course had "One More Light" in the CD player. I not only caught my wife bobbing her head to some of the songs, but actually saying "this is a really good song" on multiple occasions. She's never been much of an LP fan but she was into this new CD. Then my 4 year old was begging me to replay one particular song over and over again. That song was "One More Light" and after about the 3rd time she heard it, she was singing along with the song and it brought the LP nut in me a smile to my face. Just wanted to share as I know there is a lot of mixed reviews on this CD and while it's not my personal favorite of theirs, it seems to be working for my family when we're in the car.

    Album outsold THP first week and is currently tallying over the original first week projections (it's at 117k and growing) without final figures in.

    So much for this album being a flop and the "worst debut for Linkin Park in a decade". Take that Ultimate Guitar :).

    Well no wonder, if you bundle it with a ticket purchase. (unless they don't count)

    As far as we know, there will not be an accompanying selection of video footage like there was for A Thousand Suns. The band seems to have moved away from that since then, and instead offers a variety of behind-the-scenes clips through their YouTube channel and through LPU exclusives videos.

    This video basically reinforces my sentiment that the band made this album to get back into the mainstream, so to speak. An intention that I personally have no problem with; in fact it's what I've been wanting for the band for a while. I WANT to hear people talking about Linkin Park, I WANT to be able to go to a Linkin Park concert and not be the only person who's singing along to the new songs.

    People had to claim their copies for those to count. They didn't just automatically count in the total, so while yes that did help, the bundles were actual sales because people redeemed it to get their copy. It wasn't like they were automatically sent the album and counted as part of the total by default without their choosing/consent.

    Discrediting the totals because the band did ticket bundles (when that's actually a common practice - Metallica did it as well) isn't fair to the band. This is a #1 the band earned fair and square.

    I love the album.

    Im just confused when Mike said "lets not waste our time with that". Waste their time with what? Trying out new things and making the music they want to make? I got the whole THP was niche thing but i get really mixed feelings when he says that. Anyone care to simplify?

    It flopped, as far as I can see it didn't go anywhere near gold. They're talking about whether or not they're going to continue not to sell a lot of copies no matter what they do, and if they don't give them "what they want", they should do what they want anyway.

    That was my takeaway from it, anyway.
