People that can't let go of the past are really missing out. I've been a fan since day one and this era is giving me such nostalgia but also fresh vibes. These songs have made me feel like I am right back in 2000! ❤
Absolutely, as much as it’s a tragedy to lose Chester, it’s a rare thing to discover your favourite band twice when something new is introduced. Emily is nailing it and the guys haven’t missed a step.
@dmdrum235 it feels fresh to me but also it feels like Linkin Park. It makes me feel how they originally did all those years ago as an angsty teen, but now there's more of a power to it for me.
I dont think it's about letting go... It's about they picked a woman who defended a rapist and harassed victims when that very thing consumed chester until and probably including his death
@@DOwhutnowokay so they’re mad about stuff that never happened. Sounds about right. What she DID do was observe the pre trail then had nothing to do with him once she got the facts. 👍🏻
Unfortunately, the whole album falls short of the expectations that this single creates. Seems like they made it only to attract old fans, which will work probably, but kind of a dick move
@ well it’s okay to feel that way as well. I feel they really opened up a lot more in this single and it’s a step in the right direction in my opinion. It’s never going to be the same Linkin Park and we have to accept that.
@willpowerbroken it's not a dick move, this whole album is all their styles from previous albums mixed into one, it has a song for every era of Linkin Park, which makes sense because they didn't plan this album, in Emily's words, the songs were all over the place, they even said there are songs that they left out because they wanted this album to be a short one, they picked the singles perfectly, just by looking at the singles you can tell this album has a lot of variety, it's messy, you're supposed to enjoy this messiness.
@nikahaziny it is ironic bc imagine if they didn't have any classic sound, how much people would be throwing tantrums. But they are mixing new style with a bit of old and heading it the right direction.
Imagine discovering your favorite band twice in your life and both times is the same band. They were there when i was young and they are here now that i'm getting older damn i love this band.
The fact that they can do these songs today that are reminiscent of their songs and sound from over 20 years ago just tells you how far ahead of their time they were in the style of music they created back then. It's still relevant and new even now.
No joke these 4 singles have been some of my favourite LP music ever. And I can’t believe am saying that. Emptiness Machine is already in my top 10 most played tracks since 2015…
Honestly I’m glad they’re back, Emily fits so well and she doesn’t try to sound like Chester she brings her own vocals and I love them honestly she’s a great fit
How lucky are we all that we get to experience new music from all these talented musicians and especially with the addition of Emilly? Still so unexpected but a wonderful surprise for this year.
As an adult who grown up with LP since hybrid theory era till from zero, I can confirm that all of us are smiling right now and tears a bit , we can buy many things with our buck but not our childhood, thanks LP cuz bring our childhood back
I love how everyone has a different favorite song out of the 4 released so far. Personally, I love "Over Each Other" the best for its lyrics, storytelling, and song structure. I love "Two Faced" as just a straight up banger with "Heavy Is The Crown" a close second. "The Emptiness Machine" might be the best overall song with its lyrics and storytelling a close second but the vibe and catchiness is top notch. Then there is the live performance of "Casualty" which seems like it will be awesome with better audio quality. Mike has said several times in interviews that they pulled bits and pieces from each era of their discography in some form or fashion on this new album. Kinda like a sample platter of the past with a fresh twist.
I really liked the new songs and then I saw them Friday in Dallas and was completely sold on her on the old songs she sounded so good. This album has a real spot to maybe be my AOTY.
This song is a banger! Really awesome! And notice that they’re happier, having so much fun and more energetic since Emily join them! I loooove them! The sound is awesome! 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
ive got to say, those guitar riffs and the scratches etc from the verses are sooooo meteora, like i LOVE that!! but the chorus is very much "new" linkin park. i think its a great mix.
They clearly had so much fun making this video. Emily was in her element as a frontwoman here, lots of charisma, and the chorus was just so natural for her style.
Everyone's saying 2 Steps Closer and like, fair, but honestly this reminds me more of Figure 9 than anything. When she started whispering she could've just as easily been going IT NEVER GOES AWAY. The vibe is so Figure 9.
To me the whispers are Fig09 and the scream part made me think of One Step Closer with her screaming and Joe Han doing his stuff at the back haha A mix of my 2 fav songs of LP 🤣
Just gave it a listen. The album is dated and corny, but in that authentic Linkin Park way. It sounds new and classic at the same time. So happy to hear Hahn's scratching all over the record. It really is a comeback. It's not just Emily. The entire band feels recharged. Glad to see the music critics are so positive as well. Fantano will hate this thing though.
@@k.j.jackson5637 Fantano recently said Halsey sharing her history of sexual abuse and her cancer battle was "main character syndrome" so I don't really care what he has to say on anything, let alone music. Pretty wild how angry his fans are with him this month.
Did anyone else get major Limp Bizkit vibes from this? The opening riff reminds me of Counterfeit and the turntables felt a lot like something off of Chocolate Starfish.
I just listened this for the first time and found this womans name is Emily. I am so glad they are keeping the group going. Nothing can replace previous members they are part of e legendary glory and I'm glad there is someone fresh out there to keep things going and is performing. I wish I could go to a concert of theirs but sadly never will cant afford it
Really like this song. Video is nice but there is so much stuff going on that it took me many re-watches to let it all sink in. Few more hours untill the album drops. I for one cant wait!!
IMO this is the best song they have made in quite a long time, definitely in the top 10 but unsure where it would sit exactly. People will hate it because its Emily, but they are missing out.
This single could have been easily named "Two Steps Closer" and we would still love it :) I must admit, I am not the greatest Linkin' Park fan, but Meteora and Hybrid Theory are my favourite albums they have done (and maybe Collision Course), so I can be only happy they are going back to those times. It may be nostalgia, but hey, it is all good when the music is good.
I kinda get the impression the is bringing back alot of call back to other albums and classic songs, in a good. It giving new fans a taste of their older stuff without a complete recycle at the same giving older fans their comfort food and a taste of things to come in the future. The teasing at the end is just the band having fun and fans seeing that is important too.
excellent return of LP 🤘 Emptiness Machine was already excellent, but Two Faced is explosive 💥 Emily Armstrong is the pearl that was needed to take up the torch. In addition they announce us A tour in 2025 with a stopover in Belgium 🤩 for sure, I will be there 🥰 RIP Chester, we do not forget you 🖤
Listen to the full album and it is a mix of all the previous albums with some new things, the singles that have come out have been the most old school. The ones that follow are more in style from the most recent albums, some may like it and others may not, even so there is no bad song
She rules man. There's new life back in LP. It's one of their best albums. Chester's last few years were pretty hit and miss but this is back to what I know LP to be
Lots of those new songs have like Billion possible Interpretation and and all of them sound like there singing about something that happend in their life even though those songs had to be written much earlier.
yes..... LP is back, vibe this song i think One Step Closer.... and loved when Mike said we are the same page right now.. Chester : shut up when i'm talking to you Emily : stop yelling at me
You called it. They released every remaining track of the album at once this evening. Fans can now listen to the entire album on YT for free. Awesome to see!
Feels like this whole album is a meta commentary of Emily joining the band. Struggling with acceptance, wishing circumstances were different, but ultimately shutting out the hate and moving forward.
Just gave the album a first listen minutes ago. Some tracks are so-so, an equal amount are bangers and the rest is pretty solid. This is the most LP has felt like itself in over two decades. Emily is an excellent fit vocally, the band is taking cues from every album they've put out and found a great middle-ground. This song, especially its back half, is a highlight on the record. It sits comfortably in their top five. Once the shock of them returning and this album's release are over, I'm excited to see them settle in and make something even better. 7.5/10 for me, I liked it quite a lot.
4 or 5 hits among 9 and you giving it 7.5 come bro album doesnt deserve below 8 and you know what GOOD THING GO is chart toppping banger cause it is kinda popish and new gen people gonna relate it a lot. In short not lesss than 8 for me its 8.5
1:13 You should look up Band: Showbread Song: mouth like a magazine Punk is when "raw rock" fights corporate fashion. As in this video screaming "punk/raw rock kills and has never looked more classy!"
Emily asking "is that what it is?" aka song 4 from the new LP for fans . Mike relying "that is what it is" ... "we're on the same page right now" Linkin Park knowing by now they have won back old and new fans for tis new era. THIS BAND IS SO FUCKING META, SMART AND CREATIVE AS FUCK
I like the new stuff the theres nothing wrong with Emily she just brought a freshness to the band for those who are being g mean to her shame on you long live Chester but give Emily her flowers too
This album has so much variety, so much of it sounds like different points in the bands history. Tell me this doesn’t sound like Meteora. My only critique is that it’s not long enough. We at least could’ve used a longer version of Overflow.
Two Faced or Over Each Other or Heavy Is The Crown or The Emptiness Machine?
Or all of em
All of em
@@METALBIRB all of em for sure!!
Two Faced for sure
All of them!

This song really won me over that’s the Linkin Park sound I remember but people have to understand that bands evolve and I think she’s a great fit.
Unfortunately, the whole album falls short of the expectations that this single creates. Seems like they made it only to attract old fans, which will work probably, but kind of a dick move

Well said
Well said. Exactly how I feel ❤
Been my favorite band since 2000 and this is absolutely accurate!!
So VERY well said.
The fact that they can do these songs today that are reminiscent of their songs and sound from over 20 years ago just tells you how far ahead of their time they were in the style of music they created back then. It's still relevant and new even now.
Emily is just fresh, real and alive, LP is back
"and alive" is a lowkey blow to Chester tho
@@pijay3304that’s not the way the comment was meant. Turning every comment into a “negative” thing is a low blow.
@@ard-janlubbers Cheers, mate, you can feel it, thank you
@@skilledever5704 Np mate. Emily is indeed breathing new life into this band.
@@pijay3304no it isn't. You insinuating that is is is more of an insult.
No joke these 4 singles have been some of my favourite LP music ever. And I can’t believe am saying that. Emptiness Machine is already in my top 10 most played tracks since 2015…
Exactly. When I want to hear Chester I listen to the older music. When I want the new stuff I listen to Emily. Both eras rule!!
@ they really do! It’s so exciting man
So true!!!
This album is soooo good and have listened a hundred times already!
The fact they could make this music again this good is amazing
TWO STEP CLOSER 🤘🤩
Him : "Shut Up when i'm talking to you"
And now Her : "Stop Yelling at me !!!" 🤣
Thank you. Exactly my thoughts
Honestly I’m glad they’re back, Emily fits so well and she doesn’t try to sound like Chester she brings her own vocals and I love them honestly she’s a great fit
BANGER!! 🔥🔥🔥🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
It’s their best song of the 4
Can’t wait for the album too
EMILY IS AMAZING
I've been rocking out to this song all day.
Niknocturnal's comment says it all - "2 steps closer"
It’s way more like Figure.09 😊
I'm sorry for asking stupid question since English is my 2nd language, what does he mean by that?
@@anakyangbudiman8497 It sounds very much like their song “One Step Closer”. Just a reference to that.
@@jakew209 Oh right..... I'm so dumb.
It’s so crazy that their brand of sound comes out so well in this song and it’s exactly what we all wanted!
They're giving me wedding singers allowed to drink the leftover booze once all the guests have left. And I'm living for it.
How lucky are we all that we get to experience new music from all these talented musicians and especially with the addition of Emilly? Still so unexpected but a wonderful surprise for this year.
As an adult who grown up with LP since hybrid theory era till from zero, I can confirm that all of us are smiling right now and tears a bit , we can buy many things with our buck but not our childhood, thanks LP cuz bring our childhood back
Honestly this song has me so fucking excited for Linkin Park's future. They sound and look so comfortable together. LP is so damn back, baby.
I love how everyone has a different favorite song out of the 4 released so far. Personally, I love "Over Each Other" the best for its lyrics, storytelling, and song structure.

Emily just shutdown all the haters, stop yelling at me
Also, it is a little response 20 years later to "shut up when I'm talking to you" of one step closer :D

This is my favorite track so far!! Emily is a rock star! And mikes rapping took me straight back to hybrid theory. Stop yelling at me!!!!!
Was so happy to have a song again that was so heavy on his rapping. I missed it
i've had this song stuck in my head since it dropped, it's so damn good
THIS is Linkin Park!
This song is a banger! Really awesome! And notice that they’re happier, having so much fun and more energetic since Emily join them!
I loooove them! The sound is awesome! 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
ive got to say, those guitar riffs and the scratches etc from the verses are sooooo meteora, like i LOVE that!! but the chorus is very much "new" linkin park. i think its a great mix.
Top 4 album for sure
1 Hybrid theory
2 meteora
3 minutes to midnight
4 from zero
Living Things honorable mention
@mats9775 living things too much electronic stuff
It's not my favourite album
I feel the hunting party is seriously underrated, but hey! If we all had the same opinions, the world would be a very boring place
Whole album is elite! Cant wait to hear it again
They clearly had so much fun making this video. Emily was in her element as a frontwoman here, lots of charisma, and the chorus was just so natural for her style.
I literally just searched for your reaction to this and it was uploaded 24 seconds ago… you read my mind! Great song and great reaction!!
Same!
The outfits are either giving "Reservoir Dogs" or the "Du Hast" music video. Love it. Who even does a turntable solo anymore? Bring them back!
Everyone's saying 2 Steps Closer and like, fair, but honestly this reminds me more of Figure 9 than anything. When she started whispering she could've just as easily been going IT NEVER GOES AWAY. The vibe is so Figure 9.

A mix of my 2 fav songs of LP 🤣
2:51 A nod to KoRn's Blind, the way Emily's holding her Mic.
K
The part after Stop Yelling at me in this song, and the end remind me of Limp Bizkit's Pollution in the best possible way
@@MarcusAureliusSeneca don't forget break stuff and boiler
The whole video is also very.... fred dursty. LP having fun and not taking themselves seriously somehow feels so... natural.
SO FUCKING GOOD. What a throwback. I love seeing them so happy too and Emily being her queer badass self!
I'm sold, this will def be their best album since Meteora
Congrats on 150K Birb you deserve it!!!!!!!
It feels like listening to a new band and not at the same time. I am so excited to listen to this new album

Did anyone else get major Limp Bizkit vibes from this? The opening riff reminds me of Counterfeit and the turntables felt a lot like something off of Chocolate Starfish.
Yep. We're on the same page right now.
LP, Breaking Benjamim and Three Days Grace… what a year!
You said it. It’s fun, and rock and metal is making a comeback. LP and Sleep Token, imo, are the perfect catalysts for this new era. Love it!
the sound of LP to the power of 1000, a beautiful energy that sends me to 2000... I am won over by Emily Armstrong 😍 excellent🤟
Never thought I'd be in an era where there were Linkin Park boomers, but fuck em this slaps! ❤
I just listened this for the first time and found this womans name is Emily. I am so glad they are keeping the group going. Nothing can replace previous members they are part of e legendary glory and I'm glad there is someone fresh out there to keep things going and is performing.

Linkin park album and Mike Tyson fight on the same day let’s go
It’s just so fun. MISTER FUCKING HAHN
So we all realize this album is not only introducing us to Emily, but showing us she can do this, right?
So far, they havent missed imo. 😊

Just like a lot of people I was skeptical about her, but after these 3 songs I'm all in. Can't wait to listen to the new album.
Joe's dj scratching on this track really reminds me of sid from slipknot and I'm loving it.

Great reaction and absolute bomb from LP
The album was great! So many different vibes and most of em hit me! Going on a 7 hour train ride tomorrow, this was perfect timing! 🔥❤️
Mike rapping over a heavy song is just, 😘. Also the video is giving me Kim Dracula vibes hehe
Lots of those new songs have like Billion possible Interpretation and and all of them sound like there singing about something that happend in their life even though those songs had to be written much earlier.
I like all the songs but this is my order I like them in:
1. Emptiness Machine
2. Over each other
3. Heavy is the Crown
4. Two faced
Anyone else getting Meteora vibes from this song?
yep, Figure 09
This is more Hybrid theory
for me it's more hybrid theory or even some stuff before that. but maaan....this is just so great, what a banger
@@vulcanrs89 Hybrid Theory was their first album though?...
@@timhutchinson8485 they have demos
Chester never looked better! LP reinvented themselves. Emily can scream and the band can rock! Love your reaction, 2nd chance to succeed. Stay safe.
Emily could play a character as a member of the Deadly Viper assassination squad in the Kill Bill movie 😎
Great song and funny MV ❤🔥
That's awesome! 🤘😄
😸 Pedazo de estilo 🥳 Descubre mi flow! ✌️
They had so much fun it was a jam!
Omg Bad omens with LP 😮❤❤❤
Loving their sound
emily be teaching today's rock kid what this legendary band was once capable of and they will be restored to their former glory
yes..... LP is back, vibe this song i think One Step Closer.... and loved when Mike said we are the same page right now..
Chester : shut up when i'm talking to you
Emily : stop yelling at me
Nobody will replace Chester. However she's great and the more she uses her emotions the better she will be.
2 faced ❌ 2 steps closer ✅
1 view, 4 likes, METALBIRB x LinkinPark breaking RUclips :). My fav song on the album rn.
The songs so far are far way better and heavier from the last 2 albums with chester .
Love it
Two? The hunting party had some heavy shit bud
to be honest,
I think they gonna do some crazy shit today
I'm just waiting for record, dann
great reaction, it was great to seen yours man.

I wouldn't mind her screaming at me LOL
Amazing songs, out of the 4 tracks Heavy is the crown still top
U earned sub
1:13
You should look up
Band: Showbread
Song: mouth like a magazine
Punk is when "raw rock" fights corporate fashion. As in this video screaming "punk/raw rock kills and has never looked more classy!"

The album is really good
I've slowly come around. Dont mind the new sound now after some time to digest them coming back without Chester.
I like the new stuff the theres nothing wrong with Emily she just brought a freshness to the band for those who are being g mean to her shame on you long live Chester but give Emily her flowers too
That looks like a magical place to play ps5, great reaction aswell lmao
This album has so much variety, so much of it sounds like different points in the bands history. Tell me this doesn’t sound like Meteora. My only critique is that it’s not long enough. We at least could’ve used a longer version of Overflow.
