Sonically and emotionally, it’s about the past, present and future that encompassing our signature sound, but new and full of life.”
He added: “It was made with a deep appreciation for our new and long-time bandmates, our friends, our family and our fans. We are proud of what LINKIN PARK has become over the years and excited about the journey ahead.”
Of their expanded lineup, Shinoda said, “The more we worked with Emily and Colin, the more we enjoyed their world-class talent, their company, and the things we created. We feel truly empowered with this new lineup and the vibrant and energetic new music we’ve created together. We’re weaving together the sonic touchpoints we’ve been known for and still exploring new ones.”
