My Fave Tracks in 2025 🎶💜 Unnecessary thread no one asked for of some tracks I love throughout the year
Bold choice rather than a safer lesser Chester clone has stuck with me I wish more people realised nobody would ever be Chester and trying to find someone similar would never compare Different was a risk but the right risk
“Shinoda and Linkin Park made a bold choice in Armstrong for that role—a powerful female voice rather than a safer and lesser Bennington clone—and it turned out to be a stroke of genius.” spin.com/featured/linki…
“Emily had won many admirers among her musical peers from years fronting the L.A. alt-rock band Dead Sara, for her fiery vocal gifts that shifted easily from tender to explosive. Turns out one of those admirers was Mike Shinoda” oh my heart 🥹 🔗: spin.com/featured/linki…
We were optimistic. We bet on ourselves, but it was all unknown basically. Committing to making the album, putting these shows up, was a real act of faith.” - Brad. And it all worked out I still can’t believe it sometimes spin.com/featured/linki…

Shinoda says that album was the third in a diverse trio of releases that shifted gears dramatically, and challenged listeners about what a Linkin Park album should sound like. spin.com/featured/linki…
“Then for it to work a second time, it feels weirdly like cheating. Like, you’re not supposed to win the lottery twice.” spin.com/featured/linki…
“I never went anywhere,” she says. “Those are my friends and we were in the studio the other day just kicking around some ideas and stuff. Nothing is set—like, no plans. They understand.” spin.com/featured/linki…
“In her own way, Emily has that vocal and emotional range where it can be the scariest, heaviest thing or obviously kind of beautiful and tender,” says Brad. spin.com/featured/linki…
‘Oh shit, this is like family.’ You want to do everything you possibly can to not fuck it up, just for them.” spin.com/featured/linki…
From Zero to Linkin Park 🎸 @linkinpark. Brooklyn. July 29. 🎫: bit.ly/3UTR3L4
Mike: “We’ve got a new woman who’s more than capable. She’s an absolute beast. She’s so ready for this moment.”❤️ “It’s a little bit unfair that [she and Colin] have to deal with any kind of scrutiny or whatever, but it also comes with the territory.”
Dave: “In music or in anything creative, you’re not guaranteed anything. This past year in that regard has been really, really special. Then for it to work a second time, it feels weirdly like cheating. Like, you’re not supposed to win the lottery twice.”❤️
Mike: “With Chester, I could give him any vocal idea and he’d be able to handle just about anything. I met Emily and was like - oh, we’re back to almost unlimited. She doesn’t sound like Chester; she sounds like Emily. But I won’t run out of things to try cuz she can do it all.”
Didn’t realize @linkinpark was in the @netflix Quarterback series!! Em must have been super stoked about this.🏈 #heavyisthecrown
“bearded and relaxed” is such an interesting choice of description lmfao
And then he adds (I can’t let this out): She doesn’t sound like Chester; she sounds like Emily. But I won’t run out of things to try because she can just do it all.” AND PERIOD
“With Chester, I was used to working with someone who I could give any vocal idea to and he would be able to handle just about anything — […] Then I met Emily and I did that process with her and I was like, ‘Oh, we’re back to almost unlimited.” - Mike. ♥️
Forever love this song
