9 years ago today the tribute concert for Chester Bennington happened.

There's just something about these 2024 shows that is special to me.

First post here, ello!

Wanted to share some art that was hard to make at the time as this had been a hard month for me since I restarted a medication and Linkin Park is one of those things in my life that has helped me through the toughest times in my life and forward. Plus Gundam is absolutely amazing and im glad I started watching it like two years ago.

So heres a combo of Reanimation and A Thousand Suns with some Hybrid Theory aswell 🌑🚩

For those who don't know, it came out on November, 15, 2024.

Would you like to see Eminem and Linkin park working on a project together? I think that Eminem and Mike raps, and Emily's screaming would sound great. What are your thoughts about it?

Hybrid theory 20th anniversary disc 2 is under rated in my opinion, especially krwlng and Enth E Nd, let me know what you think about this, also if you haven't listened to it, please do and make sure its the remixes. But i will say, some songs i don't really like

pulling in numerous numbers of people everyday still.

If this is not allowed and deleted, I completely understand. I wrote a book about nu metal and the beautifully chaotic era that gave us the bands we love.

It’s part nostalgia, part music history, and part comedy about why this music meant so much to us and why it still does.

I hope you check it out.

Hey guys! Any idea about what the next LP album could be about? Emily posted herself in the recording booth, and I was wondering if you guys would want to put in your guesses about the theme and genre. I really want them to go back to their old traits and talk about the situation of the world like they did in MTM and ATS. I really want that they experiment new structures and try new genres and have a restrained feeling rather than the usual stuff they do (but they have mastered tension build and release perfectly)

Idk why only a few LP soldiers knew about this demo or have heard it before.

Who's going to be on board Friday?

It's been a while since I've done this, but I'm back at it. Last time it was LIVING THINGS, now it's The Hunting Party which is my 2nd favorite album from them behind Hybrid Theory. Just know that this is my very own opinion, so let me on what you think. Here it is:

1. The Summoning (NA/10): This is one of their interludes, nothing too special.

2. Drawbar (8.5/10): I know this is just a longer interlude, but it's in my opinion one of their better ones. It sounds cool and atmospheric, and has a nice vibe to it. That piano is great and i think adds a lot of depth to it. Cool interlude.

3. War (9.5/10): Now I am not kidding when I say that this is my 2nd favorite album from them, and even the song at the very bottom which is War gets a 9.5. I LOVE the energy in here, and i think this aggressive, punk rock vibe is really cool. It would be a 10 if it was longer, but that can somehwhat be solved by just playing it on repeat. The guitar is really good here, Chester's fast vocals pair perfectly in here and I think this song deserves to be higher on most lists. Great song.

4. Mark The Graves (9.5/10): I actually did not like this song as much, but it grew on me a lot. At first I thought that this was just a song that was just good enough to be in my playlist, but every time I thought that I did not give this song enough, I listened to it. And I slowly began liking and enjoying it. I love the way this song blends aggressive guitar riffs, melodic verses, soaring choruses and epic drum solos. Great and interesting song.

5. All For Nothing (9.99/10): I really really wanted to put this track higher, but the songs that are above this and Wastelands are just simply… too damn good that it overshadows this track. It’s really underrated in my opinion. Helmet’s Page Hamilton does one heck of a job at the guitar, Mike’s rapping is as always never disappointing and excels in this track and Chester even though he doesn’t do much in this track does a good job at supporting the chorus though I prefer the chorus of Wastelands. Amazing track that’s only one step closer (yes that’s a reference) to becoming a 10.

6. Wastelands (10/10): I know it seems like I’m giving a lot of high ratings, but this song does really deserve it. Great guitar work, insane drums, good raps and an amazing soaring chorus. I do wish that there was a verbal chorus but the instrumental bridge still works great in my opinion. Just a nice track.

Huge Gap from this point onwards

1. Keys To The Kingdom (10/10): My god, do I just relish this track. It also grew on me, but it had a much harder hit than Mark The Graves for me. Insane opener, is all I can say. Chester’s performance here doesn’t need to be explained (it’s so good), but what really makes this track so good that barely anyone mentions is how it’s atmospheric and airy in some moments which makes a great contrast to the aggressive choruses which I think is straight up genius. Mike’s great here, the guitar is superb here and is really eargasmic in the bridge before the final chorus. Just an incredible masterpiece.

2. Final Masquerade (10/10): I actually really love this song. In fact it even was #1 off this album when I first listened to it, but it’s gone down ever since I gave the other songs more attention. Chester leads this track and does a killer job at setting the tone of the climax of the album. This song isn’t as aggressive as what’s in the album and the intro of this song is so so so good with the drums before transitioning into that beautiful melody. I do wish this song was longer, but it’s still perfect the way it is.

3. Rebellion (10/10): This song was #2 from this album for a while, but I kinda overplayed it. Regardless, I really love this track. Daron does even a better job than Page imo on the guitar, Mike’s verses are brilliant and what makes me just straight up cum is the first chorus where it’s only just Chester. My god it’s so goood. The bridge is great and does well to end the song with a final chorus. I love this track, I really do.

4. Guilty All The Same (10/10): This track definitely stands out from the rest. There’s almost no explanation needed, but I’ll keep it short. Great intro, great verses, amazing chorus, and an insane rap bridge from Rakim. Not much to say, just amazing.

Huge Gap For These Final Tracks…

1. Until It’s Gone (10/10): Now when I said I loved Rebellion, I did mean it, but my love for this track and the last one are on a whole another level. I honestly think this track deserves more love and appreciation for what it is and I really love the vibes it has from Living Things with that little electronicness. Chester does even a better job on this track than Final Masquerade, the way he sings the chorus especially when he’s like “Until it’s GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNEEEEE” is enough to make me come and get goosebumps if you get what I mean. The way this track also builds up is also a standout.

And For The #1….

1. A Line In The Sand (12/10): Imagine if all the songs on this album got put into one song. This is exactly that. This song is just… insane in my opinion. Starts off with a quiet electronic murmur with quiet vocals from Mike, builds up slowly throughout the song and becomes more faster and aggressive then ends with easily one of their most powerful and amazing climaxes of all time especially that final chorus from Chester. I actually didn’t like this track as much, but it grew on me massively. It’s just so damn good. The final few riffs of the last chorus always give me goosebumps.

Let me know what you guys think!

I’m just really proud I was able to pull this off and wanted to show it to some people who might appreciate it!

Newer to Reddit so I apologize if this isn’t the proper thread to post!

Here is a link to the song: https://youtu.be/9MFI9dMMXf8?si=19hwwttKv10hHmYI

Still wild they went with this one for NBA2K. Still cool can we get more of this love to Linkin Park in game soundtracks!

The Catalyst is with LOATR my favorite from the album, Emily's vocals are amazing.
