Mike Shinoda Releasing Post Traumatic Track 'Running From My Shadow (feat. grandson)' This Thursday

Damn! Looking forward to this!

 

I'm really curious about this song. Just the title alone already grabbed my attention.
Also it's remarkable that he's releasing it on a Thursday again. I hope making these days more positive helps him as much as it helps us.

 

I wonder if Mike is gonna rap or sing on this one.

 

So half of the album will be out before the release of it...

 

Why does everyone care so much about getting singles early? We are still getting 9 new tracks on release, and three of these songs were released months ago in an EP, so we technically are at new song #4.

Would it hurt that much to have 4 out of 13 songs? If you are gonna be someone who wants to dive into the album as a whole (this an important project to do so) then don't listen to the new tracks. It's that simple.

Mike is really proud of this stuff and to give us this much of the project shows the anxiousness on his part.

Let's not make this a flowchart affair "ugh we are only getting x new songs" and just treat this project differently.

Please.

 

Yeah I think this is a point that needs to be restated. We haven't got half of the album. I don't count PTEP that way, as it was released separately as it's own thing before becoming a necessary part of PT's chronological journey. We can reasonably not include them in our calculations, and when you do, four tracks isn't that big of a deal. It's actually the standard, really, as far as I can remember.

 

After this Thursday, I doubt Mike can hold out a full 3 weeks without releasing one more track. So I bet we get at least 1 more, after Running From My Shadow, prior to release.

 

I was thinking the same. He seems to be releasing a track about every two weeks or so. It's Mike's choice as to how many songs he wants to release before the full album is out. Right now, spreading the word about Post Traumatic is the most important thing, especially since this such a personal album to Mike and he wants the world to know about how he and many others are feeling about the incident. So is there really anything wrong with doing so by releasing a few more songs than usual?

 

Yes! I don't mind him releasing so many songs already because he truly has taken us on a journey dealing with grief as it happens in the moment and we still have 9 more to go after this, which is crazy because OML only had 10 tracks. I wonder if we're going to get a video for every song on the album, I hope so.

 

Yep. There's nothing wrong with that. The idea is to keep them interested, keep them hooked, making sure they're there when it comes out, making sure that they listen. The idea is to share it with as many people out there as he can. I love him.

 

Wait have all tracks really dropped on Thursdays at 9AM LA time?

 

He just released a teaser on instagram for the song. I am not listening to anymore until the album drops (that includes not listening to this teaser) but does anyone wanna give a quick comment of what they think of it so far.

 

wow. i didn't realize it. Can someone confirm? Very interesting.

 

He's been pumping these out once a month the week of the 20th, if I'm not mistaken.

 

The new teaser is really lit. Some great beats and rhymes. Mike has done it again

 

No. The whole album won’t be out on Thursday. There will only be one new song (Running From My Shadow feat grandson.) released this Thursday, 9am LA time.

 

At this point the bundle would be nice to include a blu-ray so we can have, presumably, all 16 music videos accompanying each track.
