Gotta admire Mike for doing this. Loved the reactions. Especially when he says that whatever they are going to make, people are going to love and hate it. And if he made something which he himself didn't love, he would be pretty sad. Although I am not the biggest fan of the newest sound, I have to give credit to the band for having the guts to stand by their vision.
I love how he can laugh at their expense when he was talking about their earliest videos. But putting inserting the word "like"' in each sentence for 2 or 3 times makes it so annoying for me to listen to the interview.
It depends, if it can convince new and old fans of LP to buy this album. THP sounded like "old-school LP but lacked the promotion in the media. Unlike this time, with YouTube collab videos, TV and Radio Presence. And the more "radio-friendly" tone. I don't like to say this but, yes due to promo tour it will outsell THP.
They should release SORRY FOR NOW as a single This songs has potential and it will give a boost to OML chart performance
So my "just give me everything" package I preordered a couple days after all the packages were announced has been backordered... What's the point of preordering if you're not even gonna make enough if the 3 months you gave to make them?
I can only imagine the difference in positive reception they would have gotten had they released Sorry For Now in place of Heavy. Of course, perhaps they didn't want to alienate the casual LP fan with a Mike on lead vocals. That and it would have spoiled the best surprise on the record.
Just watched Chester and Paul McCartney sing Yesterday together, fucking hell Jay-Z was infuriating during that, they should have cut his mic. ''Yesterday ugh ugh uh huh! yeah! huh that's right! all my troubles seemed so faaaar away''. A nice moment completely ruined.
Holy shit I realized the biggest competition LP has on release day is not only Paramore's 2nd week, but Harry Styles' second week. Fuck.
I was just thinking that the problem with another release full of joke songs is it won't be unexpected this time. When LPU8 dropped, it was a curveball that shocked everyone but, now, it's something everyone's begging for
So Linkin Park's taking over the Depeche Mode page today, and Mike is back with the recorder. https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=10156106788250329 https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=10156109003515329 I really want a recorder smilie and a Mercedes smilie.
Am I the only LP fan that don't know the words for In the End? I mean yes I know that cheesy chorus but not the whole song That makes me proud to be a out sider, somehow
So after my deluxe box being backordered, Linkin Park also failed to send me an email to download One More Light. I sent a message/complaint to their customer service about not receiving my download, but I have yet to receive any sort of reply. They've really fucked up my ordered and I'm honestly starting to get pissed off about it, especially since I preordered it one of the first days it became available. Also, anyone know how long it'll be until they finally ship my package?
