" Battle Symphony", " Good Goodbye", and " Invisible" were released as promotional singles prior to the album's release. The album's lead single, " Heavy", featuring Kiiara, was released on February 16, 2017. It is also the band's first album to have a title track, as they felt that the song " One More Light" was the heart of the album. The album features guest vocal appearances from Pusha T, Stormzy, and Kiiara, and production and songwriting collaborations with JR Rotem, Julia Michaels, Justin Tranter, Ross Golan, Andrew Goldstein, blackbear, and Eg White. The sound of One More Light has been described as being more pop-focused, departing from the alternative rock and alternative metal sounds of their previous albums. Band members Brad Delson and Mike Shinoda served as the album's primary producers. The band recorded the album between September 2015 and February 2017 in multiple studios. It is the last Linkin Park album to feature lead vocalist Chester Bennington before his death on July 20, 2017. It was released on May 19, 2017, through Warner Bros. The sorrow we add ourselves.One More Light is the seventh studio album by American rock band Linkin Park. The last things were hear on the album are cheering crowds and feedback. That’s the song with the lyrics: “Find a new place to hang this noose/String me up from atop these roofs/Knot it tight so I won’t get loose.” Whether by design or happenstance, the album ends with Bleed It Out from the CD Minutes to Midnight - and a sonic punch of horror. On the song Battle Symphony, he begs: “Please just don’t give up on me.” One song from the new album - Nobody Can Save Me - talks of storm clouds and “darkness inside.” Bennington’s voice sounds torn in the ominous Leave Out All the Rest, a song about someone looking back from their own death. “I don’t like my mind right now,” Bennington sings on Heavy. The LA-based metal-rap genre-benders often dealt with depression, anguish and alienation in their lyrics and those words haunt the album as the band pushes through its set. As the band says in the liner notes, the album is a “glimpse into how magical these shows were for the six of us.” But the instruments are clear and the crowd noise is well balanced. Yes, the editing is ragged, with some songs cutting off abruptly, weird extraneous stuff lingering in the mix and intros sometimes attached to previous songs. (The only guest is Stormzy, who reprises his rap on Good Goodbye.) So it’s not a greatest hits, but it still has essential Linkin Park tunes like Crawling, Numb, In the End, What I’ve Done and Burn It Down. Recorded earlier this summer during the band’s tour through South America and Europe, the album is naturally top-heavy with songs from the latest album, with seven of the 16 tracks pulled from One More Light. He answers: “Well, I do.” It’s hard not to get emotional hearing him reaching out to someone in trouble and knowing his light would go out soon. “Who cares if one more light goes out?/In the sky of a million stars,” Bennington sings in the fragile song One More Light. Here, we get to celebrate a unique talent, even as we say goodbye. Here, we get to hear again that unmistakable voice, both delicate and ferocious. The reason is right there in the title: Live.įive months after singer Chester Bennington hanged himself, the band has released One More Light Live, an album to cherish even if some fans disliked the pop direction the group had recently taken.
It’s unescapably heartbreaking to listen to Linkin Park’s new album.
