OffTarget Mike wrote majority of the songs in LP and he was the leader deciding which direction the band should go each album. He was the core of the band. Still is and will be eventually when they decide to get a new vocal leader.
@OffTarget Just as you said. Chester's pain and passion along with Mike's lyricism and writing. Plus Hahn's DJ mixing and mastering and the guitars of Brad and Dave, and the drums of Rob. All in that one package to make that beauty of a song we can all appreciate.
I have been listening to Linkin Park for years and nowadays to Mike Shidoda. This has what has gotten me thru the many traumas etc that are experienced in life. I have just turned 70 in 2021. I may be perceived as "old" but this is, and always will be, my go to music. Great to have something to relate to. Thank you so much.
@@carinabaptista9726 it's saying when someone you deeply care about dies, it's not just a single "goodbye". the pain of them being taken from your life keeps reverberating and every time you get reminded of them it stabs you in the heart. hence "sometimes you don't say goodbye once / you say goodbye over and over and over again". you can't stop thinking about what was and how much you miss them, the pain stays with you.
@@Hellothere-kt7ev And this was also released after the suicide of his close friend Chester Bennington. As far as I know this entire album is him releasing all of those emotions he felt after the loss of his friend.
I know that everyone wants that Chester was here but I have to say, Mike is such a genius. He took all the pain and turned into a MASTER PIECE called Post-Traumatic. The lesson I learned is, even the worst moments in our lives can be turned into something good.
Thank YOU for saying this! We all miss Chat & his talent, but this is Mike's time to shine... He is one of the most talented- well, see inws gonna start naming off the myriad different individual musical talents Mike has- but, I'm pretty sure for anyone who already KNOWS THIS- that's not only a nearly endless list, but just redundant to any of us who GET IT... I became an epic level Mike Shinoda faic 20yrs ago when I started 7th grade at 13; and I'll be damned if I won't be for another 20+ years... Cuz I don't doubt he will still be breaking boundaries & ahead of his time when he's 60. I'm fact- .just gonna take the initiative NOW to start a petition to have his head & brain saved in a glass bowl like on Futurama... Er, better yet- for all of the utterly AMAZING people out there who can picture Pierce Brosnan and Sarah Jessica Parker after the aliens on MARS ATTACKS! get abducted by the aliens & SJP's head is surgically stuck onto the Chihuahua's body & Pierce's is just... On its own still?! (Dear gawd, please tell me SOMEONE can picture precisely wtf I'm talking about & gets this so I sound a smidge less nutso? ...I'm just gonna tell myself that at leasy MIKE would get it?!)
Mike Shinoda is a musical and lyrical genius. It hurts to have lost Chester, but we always have Mike and he's more than willing to lay is heart out for us.
Awfully underrated, tragically overlooked; but there’s so much relief knowing that’s not everyone’s state... I’ve never commented anything on RUclips before, but this matters enough. Thank you for this compilation. I have the whole album, but a single upload makes it easier to let other people listen to it, and they really should. Since my angsty early teenage years, Linkin Park has helped me through some progressively maturing struggles, and when that potentially bleak nature of psychological turmoil took another something beautiful forever away from the world, it could have all been over. Instead, Mike Shinoda presses through the aftermath with a whole new level of inspirational genius. I’ll always mourn the way things went and deeply sympathize with those most affected, but words can’t express how grateful I am that we have something like this to turn to in the wake of such grief. The best there is to do now is follow by example, stay strong, and make the most of the time we have left.
Amen brother Amen. Live on for Chester and always be strong to forge ahead for Mike for he is the Man now and a awesome dude he is. 🎶❤❤ 🎤🎸🎶❤❤ Peace ✌✌ Bonnie H in Michigan, USA.
Absolutely agree. Immensely talented musician and overlooked writer. Never by me though, since that first Fort Minor record brought me to tears, I knew what he could do.
Oh he Knows lol. It's rather apparent. He's simply humble nuff publicly to be like: "Naww... I'm jus tryin to express myself. I owe this all to the people around me, and you guys!" - which is True.
I'm 100% a metal head. But this nice. Melodic and listening to Mike brings back nice memories from the early 2000s. Great times! Nu metal was rising! The 2000s were for me how the '60s, '70s, '80 were for our parents. Great music!
It's sad to hear Mike's voice "alone" without Chester by his side. Still, this album is a masterpiece! Thank you, Mike, for sharing your feelings with us! "Over again" is so damn real...
Saw him in october and when he sang Over again live... omg i tried to hide my tears but the loss of Chester still affects me, i can't imagine for Mike ... Still, the show was amazing and we sang Chester's verses in every songs ❤ #MakeChesterProud #LinkinParkFamily ❤
I have no words to describe how much I fell in love with ''The Rising Tied'' as a child and this album is the closest album to this masterpiece I have ever heard. It's pure artistic expression, an album created by an artist to cope with and process the death of a close friend. Just recently, I have read a comment by someone that Mike Shinoda is one of those artists who does not create music to impress others but to express himself. I think this was beautifully worded and I wholeheartedly agree with this statement.
The vulnerability and authenticity shown in this album is what gets me. Mike takes us up down around the ins and outs of all the mental funk, the cognitive dissonance that propels us forward as "a place to start" to our final "destination".
Yeah. Pure expression. It's amazing. This album shows how truly & deeply impacted he was. It's so expressive in emotion that's it's literally impossible to go without crying.
This album was done great. Mike is very talented as a musician. Yes Chester is no longer with us, but I've always been excited to see more by Mike Shinoda.
This a deep record, after tragic moment. I've been in Chester shoes, was one of the lucky ones. LP music helped me recover, after 40 yrs of depression. Music like this helped come back from brink. too many times.
This album hurts. I heard LP for the first time around 12 years ago and actually hated them for a while. I thought they were fake, hated their sound. My son listened to them all the time and I kept hearing their songs even when I didn't want to. I started listening to them several months later but this time I really dug into the music and the lyrics and discovered just how talented they all were. Every member of the band brought their own unique talents and abilities to every song. Chester made me feel what he was going through, with every song. I started liking them, and listening to each new song. Fast forward 10 years and I really didn't know how to feel when I heard the news. I thought it was tragic, and sad that I wouldn't be able to follow the rest of their music career. A lot of mixed emotions I guess. I had to say all this to say I'm glad I took the time to understand them and their music. It sucks that the group isn't together now, and I never got to see them in concert, but Mike was a very strong figure in LP and I'll follow his career. So, even though this album hurts to listen to, thank you Mike, and I hope you find the peace that you seek.
This is the first time after the albums release that I listen to it again. And it's a weird feeling. This album doesn't only remind me of Mike and Linkin Park, but it reminds me of myself a few years ago. In 2017 I finished school, just started a new job, found new friends there and when this album came out I used to listen to this a lot with one of my friends I had back then. We even travelled to a concert to see Mike live. Later on I broke off this relationship and the other friendships because I wasn't happy anymore for personal reasons. In 2018 I started studying, I had a lot of ups and downs and I don't talk to my old friends anymore, but this album actually reminds me of the good times back then. And I'm so glad that the album is connected to good feelings and nice memories. I wouldn't have it any other way.
RIP chester.. my childhood laid to rest. I've never cried over a celebrity/ someone famous. I realize LP was more than that. Over and over again made me pull over to the shoulder and catch my breathe. Been over 3 years and it still hurts like I just found out. bless Mike and the group, words can't describe the impact your music had on my life.
In hindsight, I always liked the Psych angle of the meaning within Linkin Park lyrics. Mike Shinoda carries that brilliance forward in this album. The only thing I'd change is for me to have discovered this is 2018, instead of today!
Im here after listening to hybrid theory and meteora, its necessary to come back here once in a while, love all you guys, thanks for all the good memories... #LPFOREVER
I love this music ,you can tell how much he misses his friend, and how much they were like a family it seems to me they had a lot of love for each other.
❤💔❤🔥💔❤ Сколько грусти.... И не мудрено, год прошёл как Честера не стало.... Всем сердцем люблю эту группу!!!! Майки был солью группы и связующим звеном, гениальный человек, очень лучезарный, а Честер "перцем" группы. LP навсегда со мной!
Oh how i miss Chester..RIP SWEETHEART. 😭😭❤❤😢😢 yes Chester would be so proud of you Mike. I love this CD. I listen to it over and over. I am not a young chickey either 68yrs. Just miss Chester though, but he is always with us all. ❤❤💥❤❤💥😭😭 Bonnie in Battle Creek, Michigan-- USA. 👍👍
For some artists, they use music as a healing process and that is exactly what Mike did here. Beautiful album. The raw emotion is phenomenal. Like the band COLD says, music is like a way to bleed on stage. Fuck phsychiatrists, fuck anti depressents. Pouring your heart out to millions of your fans through completely original music that you wrote and getting the love and support from your fans to help you get through your struggles can be way more theraputic than anything else you can do. It's kind of a type of therapy itself.
Thanks Mike.. I'm so sorry for all your loss and pain. He died on the 20th anniversary of my mom's death. Fk how do I deal w 7-20 every year now? Listen and evolve with your music. The more I listen to Post Traumatic it helps. Thank you! The 53 yoa 28 year cop is kept sane by YOU! I've lost a dozen friends to their own means. Thank you for your music, your kindness, your clothes too. I made this shirt like Chester's red plaid puzzle shirt. I have the red plaid shirt you have with the white art on the back. I cut that out in a square and put it on some plaid that looked like Chester's shirt, plus pieced of 2 other red plaid shirts. The left front part is yours with your sig on the pocket. Cool shirt to honor you both. But now, the road is yours, the path is your choice, and don't worry we all will follow and listen and sing along with your music.
I am 56 an Aussie.I have been following the journey of Hybrid Theory and as it played out Linkin Park, from the beginning, and what a journey it has been, I can't think of anything I don't like song wise from this bunch of mates. I couldn't listen to this until now, reading all of the other comments gave me chills, I like all of you, am still grieving the loss of the most unbelievable voice and person Chester, but you know something, Mike enhanced Chester and vice versa, for Mike to come out and do this album was one of the most courage's things I have seen, I cried when I watched Mike from, my home perform "Looking for an answer" at the Hollywood bowel, his true emotion came oozing out in that song, it was then I turned a big part of my grief to Mike and the brother he lost. This album is an extension of looking for an answer, its heartbreaking and yet helping me grieve, I hope it saves Mike, he is truly a great artist and I look forward to more. Gods speed Chester and hang in there Mike, there is another side, you just gotta dig deep and get there my friend cheers Merv Williams
@@joshualee8051 I don't agree in the way that Chester's sound was so much better with Linkin Park, hence a lot of what Mike wrote for him, when you listen to Stone Temple Pilots or Dead By sunrise, you don't hear the Chester we all love, I do agree Mike's song writing was boosted by Chester's talent, but Chester also fed off Mikes song writing and together they lead Linkin Park to the top I think we can agree "Fuck we miss Chester and Linkin Park" Cheers Joshua
Totally agree on that. But listen to Cross Off. He belonged in metal IMO, and could sing to anything regardless of the writer. The reason STP sounded bad is we all expect Scott's voice. Far as DBS, the band was mediocre. Had they been as skilled as LP or Mark Morton, they would have been better too. @chesterbennington #chesterbennington @markmortonmusic #markmortonmusic
I find it amazing how someone so talented as Mike can still find emotion after the major loss of losing his best friend and he was still able to take his feelings and paint a tapestry of beautiful lyrics filled with raw emotion and feeling and put it into an amazing album
This album was released around the time I moved to a new country, no friends, no money, I was starting from zero on this new place and many times I came back to these songs and they kept me motivated, knowing I had to stay stronger and keep on going. Also releasing this after Chester's death is such a move, of all the ways he could've deal with the grief making an album is an extraordinary thing, the strength that it takes to go to a blank sheet of paper and put your feelings out after such thing just happened, it's just amazing. It has a special place for me as one of my favorites albums!
When this first dropped, I enjoyed a few tracks here and there. Fast forward 3 years later and I just broke up with someone listening to this has been really helpful to help cope with grief. Thanks so much for this Mike and to everyone coping with loss of some form.
This has been on RUclips for almost three years, and has barely six thousand likes, and less than half a million views. There's something seriously wrong with that. This album is fucking fire, and deserves far more recognition than it has gotten.
I was staying at a the Beverly hotel in Hollywood last July because we had a show at the Whisky A Go Go and there was a small billboard outside my window for this album. I've been meaning to listen to it for a while. I just remembered I really like this. It is great.
i only want to say one thing,Linkin park was the best band for me since i was 6,they arrived to me in the worst moment of my life and when chester died... i was crying for weeks,i don`t know how people want songs of linkin without him like this doesn`t happen but this album makes me feel like chester are listening mike and all the people who really love each members of the band. Linkin park forever and this don`t change never and never do it,doesn`t matter the future of the band because all of you arrive to my heart and more of people,i sure of that
So perfectly said...❤️❤️❤️ ALL OF LP ❤️❤️❤️ MIKE SHINODA'S ALBUM ❤️❤️❤️ CHESTER BENNINGTON R.I.P. ❤️I REALLY DO HOPE THAT CHESTER HAS & IS IN ETERNAL PEACE... FINALLY. SUCH A BEAUTIFUL TALENTED SOUL WHO WENT THROUGH WAY TOO MUCH HURT & PAIN (AS HAVE & ARE SO MANY OTHERS IN THIS WORLD) IT'S JUST NOT RIGHT....NOT FAIR, NOT RIGHT...AT ALL....EVER, FOR ANYONE
Ever since ATS, I have had to relisten to every LP album before getting into them. For OML, I never fell in love. I did for this album upon the first listen.
Tonight I mourn Chester after many years of neglect. I don't understand why, but that isn't up to me. My first concert was the Meteora world tour in ATL with Story of the year, Hoobststank, POD and Linkin Park and I will never forget it. May he live on in our minds!
Happy 3rd anniversary to this wonderful album Mike .. Today we celebrate . Thank you for everything you shared while you started your journey ..All the tweets ,, video and snaps Your Important and are loved by me. I enjoy it today.as much as when it was released ''
Wow this is fucking gold M shinoda you are a amazing artist. I saw you and Linkin park in 09 at the fleetcenter with pendulum 10,00 maniacs. Chester would be proud of this art piece.
I began listening to a lot of music by Linkin Park early this year. I discovered Mike's work and listened to this album when it came out. This is probably my favorite album released this year.
Damn after all this time that I listen to this album, I finally manage to write a comment ^^ To me this album is a really helpful to every person that like me it's really hard to believe that Chester is gone... ( including Mike fore sure since he's the one who made this magic album) We can see it even by reading the name of the album. And that's why I'll be forever thankfull to him for this incredible album! #makechesterproud and I would also say #youmakeusproud like we told him when he came to Paris 🙏❤️
I listened to this album it motivates me to practice on my martial arts and work outs I really respect Mike he is strong but to be honest he a warrior survivor thanks Mike for never given up God bless you 🙏
this album,...can't describe how it helped me so much. Missing and loosing someone (friend, family, lover,...) you care so much is one of the hardest thing to face. Something that will hurt for so long.
Their first 2 albums helped me get through the hard times. My favorite 2 albums of all time. I understand why they changed their sound, but the new sound wasn't what most people needed. Music is their to express your self, but it is also their to help the masses get on with life. I hope Linkin Park can continue on, even if i wont listen to their new albums, because its not what i need. Hybrid theory, and Meteora allowed me to channel my anger and focus.
everyime i hear the pain in mikes voice it makes my body crawl knowing his pain is so real that it chould be anyone of us that will deal with the pain that mike is going thro i only wish id met them to tewll them h ow much i love them wit hall my heart
And i thought i was the only one thehe. I listend to ATS now about 4 or 5 times but also other albums, cus at the time the faith in humanity is so bad.
Only bad thing about this album it is ends... & The best thing about this album is that any worrying you go through while you listening those songs ends as well
This is such a touching album, raw emotion in every song. Mike Shinoda was and IS so brave to share his grief and anger and regret as music - I'm so proud of you Mike. I love you
Mike you are so gifted,so sorry for a tragedy that brings out some of your talents at such a time you had to dig deep to show its outcome ..results are positivel, affected so many people and you've been a god send to so many
When linkin park took a break to do side projects, mike was the only one to be highly successful with Fort Minor. And a lot of people didn’t even realize that one of the frontmen for LP was a part of FM. It just shows how far his own original art went without using his ‘LP’ clout. This man was more than just a rapper/singer, he was the foundation to Linkin Park and did more than most people even realize. I mean, aside from all the things he did for the band, he still found time to organize charity projects every year throughout the bands history

Mike doesn't get all the respect he deserves as a rapper and musician. He was the glue to LP. That's what his nickname was
Love you Chester rip
dude he gets the biggest respect.. he was the brains behind Linkin Park in my opinion, and this album shows it
Fort Minor? Mike get's his dues he's awesome.
OffTarget Mike wrote majority of the songs in LP and he was the leader deciding which direction the band should go each album. He was the core of the band. Still is and will be eventually when they decide to get a new vocal leader.

Agree with whatever you said man. LP is life and glad you have good taste in music ♥️👍🏻

Your awesome
Let's go
💜💜💜💜
"Over again" simply made my gut hurt
It so does, so beautifully hurtful :'( if you know what i mean? Haha
I cried for real.
Pavle Milatić What's the meaning or purposal of the Song?

I swear he will never realize how talented he truly is.

The title says 2018...

@kevin pierson yeah everyone’s already corrected me maybe learn to read and find a hobby
This album was done great. Mike is very talented as a musician. Yes Chester is no longer with us, but I've always been excited to see more by Mike Shinoda.

Great album. Much respect for Mike Shinoda...Chester would be proud of him for this.
What an expression of grief for a friend.
Thanks Mike.. I'm so sorry for all your loss and pain. He died on the 20th anniversary of my mom's death. Fk how do I deal w 7-20 every year now? Listen and evolve with your music. The more I listen to Post Traumatic it helps. Thank you! The 53 yoa 28 year cop is kept sane by YOU! I've lost a dozen friends to their own means. Thank you for your music, your kindness, your clothes too. I made this shirt like Chester's red plaid puzzle shirt. I have the red plaid shirt you have with the white art on the back. I cut that out in a square and put it on some plaid that looked like Chester's shirt, plus pieced of 2 other red plaid shirts. The left front part is yours with your sig on the pocket. Cool shirt to honor you both. But now, the road is yours, the path is your choice, and don't worry we all will follow and listen and sing along with your music.
I'm addicted to this album!!
I am 56 an Aussie.I have been following the journey of Hybrid Theory and as it played out Linkin Park, from the beginning, and what a journey it has been, I can't think of anything I don't like song wise from this bunch of mates.
I couldn't listen to this until now, reading all of the other comments gave me chills, I like all of you, am still grieving the loss of the most unbelievable voice and person Chester, but you know something, Mike enhanced Chester and vice versa, for Mike to come out and do this album was one of the most courage's things I have seen, I cried when I watched Mike from, my home perform "Looking for an answer" at the Hollywood bowel, his true emotion came oozing out in that song, it was then I turned a big part of my grief to Mike and the brother he lost. This album is an extension of looking for an answer, its heartbreaking and yet helping me grieve, I hope it saves Mike, he is truly a great artist and I look forward to more. Gods speed Chester and hang in there Mike, there is another side, you just gotta dig deep and get there my friend cheers Merv Williams
Good wishes for Mike, well shared Sir Merv.

Mixed emotions on this. Chester could have done it without Mike. Mike needed Chester to find fame.
@@joshualee8051 I don't agree in the way that Chester's sound was so much better with Linkin Park, hence a lot of what Mike wrote for him, when you listen to Stone Temple Pilots or Dead By sunrise, you don't hear the Chester we all love, I do agree Mike's song writing was boosted by Chester's talent, but Chester also fed off Mikes song writing and together they lead Linkin Park to the top I think we can agree "Fuck we miss Chester and Linkin Park" Cheers Joshua
Totally agree on that. But listen to Cross Off. He belonged in metal IMO, and could sing to anything regardless of the writer. The reason STP sounded bad is we all expect Scott's voice. Far as DBS, the band was mediocre. Had they been as skilled as LP or Mark Morton, they would have been better too. @chesterbennington #chesterbennington @markmortonmusic #markmortonmusic
Admiring mike since 2000.. i was 13 then.. thankyou for the music❤️
I'm sure Chester is very proud of you Mike♥
I agree
Thanks ,so much Mike. Shinoda ,for music and and songs !!!!!!
I find it amazing how someone so talented as Mike can still find emotion after the major loss of losing his best friend and he was still able to take his feelings and paint a tapestry of beautiful lyrics filled with raw emotion and feeling and put it into an amazing album
Goddamn i love this!
This album was released around the time I moved to a new country, no friends, no money, I was starting from zero on this new place and many times I came back to these songs and they kept me motivated, knowing I had to stay stronger and keep on going. Also releasing this after Chester's death is such a move, of all the ways he could've deal with the grief making an album is an extraordinary thing, the strength that it takes to go to a blank sheet of paper and put your feelings out after such thing just happened, it's just amazing. It has a special place for me as one of my favorites albums!
When this first dropped, I enjoyed a few tracks here and there. Fast forward 3 years later and I just broke up with someone listening to this has been really helpful to help cope with grief. Thanks so much for this Mike and to everyone coping with loss of some form.
Love you Chester miss you
Things I can't explain calling out my name... Chester reaching out... Holding every memory close!!! He's telling you he's around when you need him!
Mike is a genius
This has been on RUclips for almost three years, and has barely six thousand likes, and less than half a million views. There's something seriously wrong with that. This album is fucking fire, and deserves far more recognition than it has gotten.
I was staying at a the Beverly hotel in Hollywood last July because we had a show at the Whisky A Go Go and there was a small billboard outside my window for this album. I've been meaning to listen to it for a while. I just remembered
I really like this. It is great.
i only want to say one thing,Linkin park was the best band for me since i was 6,they arrived to me in the worst moment of my life and when chester died... i was crying for weeks,i don`t know how people want songs of linkin without him like this doesn`t happen but this album makes me feel like chester are listening mike and all the people who really love each members of the band.
Linkin park forever and this don`t change never and never do it,doesn`t matter the future of the band because all of you arrive to my heart and more of people,i sure of that
Amen to that man. A-bloody-men. Linkin Park Forever
So perfectly said...❤️❤️❤️ ALL OF LP ❤️❤️❤️ MIKE SHINODA'S ALBUM ❤️❤️❤️ CHESTER BENNINGTON R.I.P. ❤️I REALLY DO HOPE THAT CHESTER HAS & IS IN ETERNAL PEACE... FINALLY. SUCH A BEAUTIFUL TALENTED SOUL WHO WENT THROUGH WAY TOO MUCH HURT & PAIN (AS HAVE & ARE SO MANY OTHERS IN THIS WORLD) IT'S JUST NOT RIGHT....NOT FAIR, NOT RIGHT...AT ALL....EVER, FOR ANYONE
That 'About You' tune is just something else. The bridge at 15:12 is perfection.
Ever since ATS, I have had to relisten to every LP album before getting into them. For OML, I never fell in love. I did for this album upon the first listen.
This is good for Mike, Music is the best medicine, Express your feelings.
We love u Mike
💕
❤️
Chester is proud
Tonight I mourn Chester after many years of neglect. I don't understand why, but that isn't up to me. My first concert was the Meteora world tour in ATL with Story of the year, Hoobststank, POD and Linkin Park and I will never forget it. May he live on in our minds!
He was the driving force behind Linkin Park and Fort Minor, now this. Just lump it all under his name.
Happy 3rd anniversary to this wonderful album Mike .. Today we celebrate . Thank you for everything you shared while you started your journey ..All the tweets ,, video and snaps Your Important and are loved by me. I enjoy it today.as much as when it was released ''
Wow this is fucking gold M shinoda you are a amazing artist. I saw you and Linkin park in 09 at the fleetcenter with pendulum 10,00 maniacs. Chester would be proud of this art piece.
I began listening to a lot of music by Linkin Park early this year. I discovered Mike's work and listened to this album when it came out. This is probably my favorite album released this year.
SIMPLY AWESOME 💘💘💘💘
日本人だけど、こんなに感情が伝わってくるアルバムは後にも先にもない。
今はマイクの目がチェスターの目に似てるような気がしています。
Rip Chester I hope Mike gets better soon, love LP. Every song is great on this album.
This album means a lot to me❤️
Sometimes you dont say goodbye once 😢
#longlivemikeshinoda #longlivechester #linkinparkforever
Mike, I love you. You and Chester changed my life
Same
he Turned a very sad thing into an fucking Masterpiece .Well done Mike .I lOVE IT !!!!!!!
we aren't valuable based on our skills. they are wonderful humans and one of them is gone and that is inexpressibly sad
Fantastic album, I'll never get sick of it :) playing it over and over again
Nice pun
@@the_broke_spartan Right!!!! haha
Damn after all this time that I listen to this album, I finally manage to write a comment ^^
To me this album is a really helpful to every person that like me it's really hard to believe that Chester is gone... ( including Mike fore sure since he's the one who made this magic album) We can see it even by reading the name of the album. And that's why I'll be forever thankfull to him for this incredible album! #makechesterproud and I would also say #youmakeusproud like we told him when he came to Paris 🙏❤️
I listened to this album it motivates me to practice on my martial arts and work outs I really respect Mike he is strong but to be honest he a warrior survivor thanks Mike for never given up God bless you 🙏
Mike thank you!
Super humble and super talented guy. I saw him live in FL. He's awesome
Mike, you have such a beautiful voice. I know you will do wonderful things with it, just like you have with your numerous talents.
Heartbreaking but a verry beautiful album with wonderfull songs ❣ sorry for your lost lots of love to you 😘
this album,...can't describe how it helped me so much. Missing and loosing someone (friend, family, lover,...) you care so much is one of the hardest thing to face. Something that will hurt for so long.
Im so proud of him
Incredible talent
First time hearing this Blackbear Feat. Love it. This binge started with Mike Shinoda Interviews. Stay Fly Friends
Used to only listen to single tracks, turned this on while I was doing math. Didn't expect to listen to the whole thing! Great music! Keep it up!!!
Their first 2 albums helped me get through the hard times. My favorite 2 albums of all time. I understand why they changed their sound, but the new sound wasn't what most people needed. Music is their to express your self, but it is also their to help the masses get on with life. I hope Linkin Park can continue on, even if i wont listen to their new albums, because its not what i need. Hybrid theory, and Meteora allowed me to channel my anger and focus.
everyime i hear the pain in mikes voice it makes my body crawl knowing his pain is so real that it chould be anyone of us that will deal with the pain that mike is going thro i only wish id met them to tewll them h ow much i love them wit hall my heart
I can't stop listening to MS till now, keep on vibing!
Mike was always my favorite. His rapping career has helped me in high school a lot. From LP to Fort Minor to his own album, this is just great.
World's On Fire makes me think of A Thousand Suns
Charles same here
And i thought i was the only one thehe. I listend to ATS now about 4 or 5 times but also other albums, cus at the time the faith in humanity is so bad.
Only bad thing about this album it is ends...
& The best thing about this album is that any worrying you go through while you listening those songs ends as well
This is such a touching album, raw emotion in every song. Mike Shinoda was and IS so brave to share his grief and anger and regret as music - I'm so proud of you Mike. I love you
The best album.. The best songs. 😍😍😁😎
yessss
🤯⚖
The best surprise of 2018. A timeless collection of music
My favourite is Promises I Can't Keep ❤️
I love him, I just hope he over comes whatever he's feeling right now and doesn't stay in that dark hole of pain ❤
Amy Robins That cute hole of pain doe...
OMG, I love all the songs. Best album ever. Mike is absolutely amazing as a singer and as a person👍👍👍🎵🎧❤💯.
I have never been that fan of LP and Mike as I stick to my bands, but, guys, I am running to buy this album tomorrow.
Ghosts and Can't hear you now are my two favorites from this album.
Chester, we miss You..
Lift Off is a masterpiece
Mike and Chino perfect
Mike you are so gifted,so sorry for a tragedy that brings out some of your talents at such a time you had to dig deep to show its outcome ..results are positivel, affected so many people and you've been a god send to so many
when mike said "i get tackled by the grief at times i would least expect" about chester i felt that
Thank you.
When linkin park took a break to do side projects, mike was the only one to be highly successful with Fort Minor. And a lot of people didn’t even realize that one of the frontmen for LP was a part of FM. It just shows how far his own original art went without using his ‘LP’ clout.
This man was more than just a rapper/singer, he was the foundation to Linkin Park and did more than most people even realize. I mean, aside from all the things he did for the band, he still found time to organize charity projects every year throughout the bands history
