Hearing a "new" song with Chester...man it's both amazing and bittersweet.

 

[HAYA8U5A]

Much better than a lot of their other unreleased songs they have eventually released and you could tell they didn't make the cut for a reason. Even if they don't record new music I hope one day they find somebody to tour with in the same way Queen did with Lambert. Like Freddie you won't find another Chester and they shouldn't even try to find another Chester but finding somebody like Lambert that works in their own way would still be nice. Or they are in a different position than Queen where they still have one front man so the band and Mike could do their thing with new music and guests.

 

[CortexVortex]

Good song but man, it still hurts that Chester is gone.

 

[LordOfChaos]

Wow, amazing to hear a new song from Chester. And from around my favorite era of theirs, some of their later albums weren't grabbing me as much but Meteora/Hybrid Theory are forever GOATed

Cool visuals too. Reminds me of watching these mashups as a kid

 

[Tokio Blues]

Incredible song.

 

[F0rneus]

Damn that was great. So glad to have another LP song with Chester's voice.

 

[EverydayBeast]

Linkin Park are on my music Mount Rushmore.​

 

[Deleted member 1159]

Wasn’t really prepared for how hearing Chester again hit tbh

 

[Rentahamster]

Sucks that Chester is gone, and so soon after Chris Cornell, too.

Fucking legends.

 

[Deleted member 1159]

I know it’s kinda silly that people get upset about celebrities but this one is always gonna get to me. I know I know, LP’s lyrics always seem a bit emo or cringe until you read about his life and see it’s actually coming from his tortured heart. RIP.

Yeah that was a perspective change for sure. A lot of us probably thought it was just music targeting teen angst because that's when it peak hit us, but then after his suicide and note you realize those were the words of a tortured grown man.

 

[tusharngf]

holy shit.. this is a good song

 

[keraj37]

That reminds me that almost a decade ago I worked as a lead in project for them

 

[Codiox]

Good song, but this sounds much more like minutes to midnight then Meteora. Its much more streamlined than the rawness of Meteora.

 

[baphomet]

Definitely got cut for a reason

Same, it made me think of a Transformers movie. Nothing wrong with that though as the song is still good.

I dont think it'll happen. Its been close to six years now. Does the band even want it?

 

[TGO]

20th Anniversary.....

Still sounds fresh as it would of been 20 years ago.

[TheInfamousKira]

Great song, very radio friendly, very melodic, super fucking catchy with simple and clear enough lyrics that it quickly becomes an earworm. Totally sounds like thawed cryogenically frozen 2003 music, which makes sense.

 

[EviLore]

Banger. RIP Chester.

Meteora was "raw"? Meteora was the same as self titled, no filler, tight songs with no BS and short runtime. Minutes to Midnight is the raw one when Chester started swearing and screaming to his limits. Meteora is as if not more radio friendly than Hybrid Theory, its a beautiful album and I think this song fits the era perfectly and could of been included. Song is awesome, takes me back to high school days when I bought the CD.

Maybe raw is the wrong term. English is not my native tongue so please forgive me, I try to explain again:

Meteora has more ups and downs in the songs, like a bigger range if that makes sense. This song just like MTM is more linear, most of the songs are on the same level, like on a monotone level.

It's hard to explain for me, that's just the way it feels to me.

The Meteora remaster is out. Live in Texas now has the full playlist, there's a full Live in Nottingham set and enough new material for at least one nu-metal Linkin Park album.
Tons of new stuff on their Youtube channel:
