Soooo I've been listening to Reanimation again and holy fuck what an album. I used to think most remixes on the record were worse than the Hybrid Theory originals but now... it's the complete opposite.
Reanimation is by far one of my favorite works of the band. I play it all the time. Hell, I've been playing it all the time since 2002 when it came out. It never gets old to me, and it's the perfect CD to play while driving, I'm not sure why, but I always love listening to it while driving. I feel like it's grossly underrated amongst the Linkin Park fanbase and it also was way ahead of it's time. It came out in 2002 and it sounds better than most music made in 2017.
It's definitely not a main album, but yeah, it's an album, technically. Collision Course is as well in that regard. Reanimation really is epic as hell, though. I love it.
I miss the arguments about Sharp Edges being in the Hurt and Heal I miss everyone bickering over whether OML was too poppy for Linkin Park I miss the discussion about if we will get the proverbial HT Part 3 or ATS Part 2 I miss things the way they were I miss Chester
In today's bittersweet news, several Linkin Park singles reached Platinum accreditation (1 Million shipped/sold copies) by the RIAA this week. https://www.riaa.com/gold-platinum/?tab_active=default-award&se=linkin+park#search_section Numb - 3x Platinum Burn It Down - 2x Platinum New Divide - 3x Platinum Leave Out All the Rest - Platinum In the End - 4x Platinum Bleed It Out - 2x Platinum What I've Done - 5x Platinum Waiting for the End - Platinum Shadow of the Day - 2x Platinum One Step Closer - Platinum Numb/Encore - 2x Platinum
I don't know whether to post a thread, but I wanted to say that Chester was cremated, according to Find a Grave. https://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=181595572
I can't imagine it not being aired. I look forward to it and the Lamb of God song he recorded. It's gonna suck when there's truly nothing new left to hear of him, besides the mountains of demos there must be. Those might come for years in the LPU and even special releases from Warner. If there was a time to make a mega best-of LP album with really finished versions of favorites like Across the Line, now is the time.
I'm wondering how they could shape up their setlist post-Chester era LP.. If we count some old LP songs with Mike-centered songs, it's just only few though except if he incorporates some Fort Minor stuff, as well. Joe Solo needs to comeback, Welcome, Devil's Drop and It's Going Down too.
