I just hope the band will continue with the stage time on every other concert. That would save me some nerves on sunday Now that i already spoiled myself at looking at the setlist of the 11.09. i am kinda wondering what songs can/will rotate or if they give us some bigger surprises.
I think at most one or two songs rotate for these 6 shows. Then when the album comes out proper we'll get a new setlist. In terms of surprises, I'm betting we get one every show. Last week was KTTK, this week will probably be something else.
I haven’t posted on here in 7 years and it honestly feels surreal to be back, after November 2017 I stopped looking at this website simply because I figured that was going to be the end of anything relating to Linkin Park (only time I quickly peaked were the HT/Meteora anniversaries.) I’m currently on the train heading to Barclays to see the show and my emotions are all over the place. Honestly my biggest gripe at the current moment is that it’s at Barclays. I hate going to Barclays center LOL I’ll spill all my emotions after the show is done but I know I’m going to need a beer before going in.
Now we likely know why it was written like ** Lost in the Echo ** on the last setlist. Either APFMH and LITE are rotating with each other or every show that song will be a secret song like what Gracie Abrams and Taylor Swift do which would mean that song would be different each show.
Ah I figured they would throw something to make it a little unique. Loved that they chose APFMH, although I do enjoy LITE, I wish they could’ve included it and swapped out another song. On the train home, exhausted. Great show, still processing it all. Will elaborate further tomorrow. Goodnight!
I'm happy to see them really hitting their stride with these shows. Emily is sounding better and better. Absolutely brutal scream on the outro of Faint. With all the controversy the first week, it's cool that these shows are so succesful - sold out in minutes, everyone saying their mind was blown. Also, "The Emptiness Machine" debuted at number 3 on the Billboard 200. Their highest position since "In The End". Higher than "Numb" too. The naysayers really wanted this reunion to fail, but it's just not happening.
Emily is definitely improving really quick with the older songs. It seems she's finding the balance on how to alternate between the clean vocals and the rasp sing-scream, when to use which, and how to transition from one another smoothly. It sounds more and more natural. As long as she uses the correct technique and doesn't strain her voice too much, this is probably going to keep improving for a while, as she'll fine-tune/ adapt the trickiest bits.
