Linkin Park are back

Linkin Park are back. The first time I saw the Emptiness Machine, I thought it was a special sort of thing. Maybe a collaboration. Then, during the week I asked Siri to play me some Linkin Park. She did and she played this song. And I loved it. I was transported back to all the times I had listened to Linkin Park in the college days.

Linkin Park are the same band. A band is more than just the lead singer, Chester in this case. Linkin Park are still the same band. They are, and yet they are not.

Emily is the lead vocalist now. And for a time, since Chester passed away, as Linkin Park did not know where they were going to go. They were trying to release specials, re-release albums. It did not feel right. I was ready to be pissed at them, calling them sellouts, telling them the band had ended with Chester.

But, as I said, a band is more than just the lead vocalist.

Give it a lesson. The album comes out on November 15th.
