I have no words, but it will be a perfect way to start 2018 with new music from Mike. I bet one of those songs is ‘Looking For An Answer’. Also I think this could be the beginning of a new cycle for the guys, and I’m really happy for them that they are moving forward and doing what they love (like Dave and Mike).
This was completely unexpected that I can’t even believe it’s real. Tomorrow’s just gunna happen and I’m going to be at work then BAM 3 new songs from Mike. Right in the first month of 2018.
This is some wonderful news to wake up to. Truly hyped for this, can't wait to hear what he's been working on. Loving the supposed EP title.
http://www.mikeshinoda.com/ is updated and http://www.fortminor.com/ now redirects to http://www.mikeshinoda.com/. I wonder if it will be released under Fort Minor or Mike Shinoda.
I wouldn't count on that. LFAA has been marketed as a Linkin Park song since the beginning, and in one of the updates on the song, Mike said that Rob had sent him drum parts. That would mean that it couldn't possibly be on there, cause all the music on this EP is by Mike. I'd love to be proven wrong though, as I've been waiting to hear the studio version. But yeah, I wouldn't count on it.
I don't expect anything until at least 12:00pm PST (US West Coast), 3:00pm EST (US East Coast), 5:00pm/17:00 GMT (UK), 8:00pm/20:00 UTC (India) 9:00pm/21:00 CET (Croatia, Germany, Sweden), 5:00am/05:00 JST (Japan). I don't have any evidence other than recalling Mike lives in LA and that usually LP release music in the afternoon. For what it's worth I have a long wait if it releases after 12pm PST. As it's 7:41am EST where I am. Meaning PST is 3 hours behind.
No. That's Mike's artwork. His artwork isn't necessarily trademarked as Fort Minor. He's been drawing the skulls and figures in that art style before The Rising Tied was even a thing.
I'm going to assume its going to be just singing. I'm assuming this off of the presumption that these songs are going to be released under the artist "Mike Shinoda" and not Fort Minor. I think this considering most, if not all of Fort Minor's Discography is Hip Hop influenced. If this is Mike doing a solo thing, this would mean that it would have to be different sounding from Fort Minor, right?
I feel like he might offically change "Fort Minor" to his own name. I mean, it would make sense kinda. When Fort minor first started i always thought of it more like a collaboration with SoB than Mike on his own with all of the features on the album and today Fort Minor is really just Mike in all his glory.
This. The little skull sometimes is signed in autographs too. It's just a little doodle that Mike does and not 100% tied to FM.
