r/LinkinPark

Just saw Unshattered yesterday. Loved it and cried at multiple places!

One question that kept coming to me - why where they recording themselves in 2022-23? I'm not talking about parts in the studio when they were making new music, but the stuff before that. Specifically, the conversations with Mike, Phoenix and Joe, where they were talking about getting back to together and just hanging out and making music. The recordings are also clearly a professional recording setup.

Why would they be doing pro recordings of these conversations before they even decided to get the band together?

I didnt see an official discussion thread, so thought I would make one. What were your thoughts, takeaways, favourite moments, criticisms, questions, etc.?

Ive seen Unshattered and it definitely made sense as to why Emily was chosen. No open audition or anything, just straight up referrals.

For some reason, I remember Rush wherein Alex and Geddy shared that shortly after Neil"s passing, many drummers messaged them saying they could be the next Rush drummer, in which turned them off. True professionals wouldnt do that and I wouldnt be surprised if its the young guns who did it.

I wouldnt be surprised if the same thing happened to Mike and LP as well.A bunch of amateurs messaging them saying they could be the next LP singer

I’m 13 and my favorite band is Linkin Park, but there’s one problem.

I’m a part of a Christian Family who think my favorite music is worship, but it’s not, it’s Two Faced, Crawling, QWERTY, and Nobody’s Listening. I want to tell them that it’s my favorite band so I can buy albums and merch but I don’t know how they’ll react, mainly because of songs like Given Up and Bleed it Out( My #1 song from Minutes to Midnight)

Should I tell them that I listen to this or just secretly keep listening to it like I’ve been doing for the past 3 1/2 years

I always show it to my friends before and they’d be blown away. But I think they didn’t cause it would blow so many ear drums in the cinemas 😂😂

The clip at the end Chester is shouting his familiar shout but what the was shouting, the words, did they sound different to anyone?

I couldn't quite tell (I was absolutely sobbing at that stage) it sounded like "I won't clean my room" or something like that.

Did it sound like that to anyone else?

Was The Hunting Party and Living Things always this good?! The songs in those albums evoked an emotion I didn’t know I had. Is it because I’m more mature? Is it because my taste evolved? Those were peak LP and such a shame they didn’t get the recognition that they deserved. 10/10 albums through and through.

This was just a question that I had been wonderings
