About this deal
Among the unreleased tracks are several gems previously unknown to Linkin Park fans, including “Lost” - a fully realized track from the 2002 album recording sessions featuring stunning vocals from Chester Bennington. Not to be confused with the 2020 Czech Republic reissue where the "Linkin Park" logo on the cover was printed black. The experience led the band to want to co-produce their second album, while still working with Gilmore, hoping to expand on the sound of Hybrid Theory with more experimental ideas.
Recorded at Hive Mind Studios in Brooklyn, NY, with the help of producer/arrangers Mike Buckley and Vincent Chiarito (both members of Charles Bradley's Extraordinaires) and crack team of a-list musicians, his upcoming album blends heavy arrangements and introspective lyrics with sophistication, leaving the listener in a blissful wash of wonderment. Unfortunately my copy came with a slight fault - a tiny but deep scratch on D1 ("Nobody's Listening").A 36 minute album spread across 2 LPs; absolutely ridiculous, unnecessary and inconvenient to play (not to mention a waste of plastic). Mike and I are two different people, so we can't sing about the same things, but we both know about frustration and anger and loneliness and love and happiness, and we can relate on that level. From the Inside" was released as the fourth single off the album before the North American leg of the world tour.
Meteora, Linkin Park’s ground-breaking second album, was released in March 2003 and included the global hit singles “Somewhere I Belong”, “Faint”, “Numb”, “Breaking the Habit” and “From the Inside.Linkin Park tease major announcement as they poke fun at themselves with Limewire virus-themed countdown".
Made in the Czech Republic" is printed before the [Standard Copyright Text] on the back of the gatefold sleeve on U. However, it only causes the track to jump forward less than 5 seconds, and as it is my least favourite track on the record I am willing to let it slide.Received my copy from Russia a few days ago - took about two weeks to arrive in total which was great.
