The Hunting Party was produced and written with Mike Shinoda and Brad Delson as the sole producers for the album, and the same is said about One More Light as well. Anyone whos done a sliver of research on current-day Linkin Park knows that they now have the trust from their label to work on albums by themselves. From the lack of instrumentation to the very basic song structuring, it extremely easy to niche this record as a money maker or something Linkin Park were forced to make by their record label or producers. To start, lets get the whole "Sell out" thing out of the picture. So after a couple months of release time for this extremely taboo record, lets get into the gutts of One More Light. The moment Heavy was released, you could tell most reviewers had their punches at the album written out long before the albums release date was even announced. The only real devils for this album are the waves of reviewers and people who havent really taken the time to listen to the album. You could say giving this album a pretty good review is playing some kind of devils advocate, but theres really no devil to advocate in this situation. After all the backlash Linkin Park has seemingly been getting by critics and fans alike who are beside themselves with the idea that one of their favorite childhood bands has taken a newer, softer path to their musical works, the album itself is drowned in poor reviews and anger to the point where most didnt even bother to listen past the 3 singles released for the album. FOR THOSE WHO COULD NOT, WE HOPE THIS LIVE ALBUM GIVES YOU A GLIMPSE INTO HOW MAGICAL THESE SHOWS WERE FOR THE SIX OF US.Lets take a step back here. FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO ATTENDED THIS TOUR IN PERSON, WE THANK YOU. HIS DEDICATION TO BRINGING THESE SONGS TO LIFE WAS TRIUMPHANT. WITH HIS VOICE, HE TURNED PAIN INTO CATHARSIS, AUTHENTICITY INTO ART, AND PASSION INTO CONNECTION. WITHOUT THEM, THESE SHOWS WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN POSSIBLE.ĬHESTER WAS UNIQUELY PASSIONATE, UNCOMMONLY GENEROUS, SENSITIVE, OPTIMISTIC, FUNNY AND KIND. BEST OF ALL, IT WAS A MOMENT TO EXPRESS OUR GRATITUDE THAT WE WERE LIVING OUR DREAM.ĬHESTER NEVER FORGOT TO EXPRESS HIS APPRECIATION TO OUR CREW - THE MEN AND WOMEN WHO TRAVELED THE WORLD WITH US, MAKING OUR DREAM INTO REALITY NIGHT AFTER NIGHT. CHESTER ALWAYS TOOK IT UPON HIMSELF TO TURN THE NAME OF THE CITY WHERE WE WERE PLAYING INTO A FIRST-RATE RUN. THE CAMARADERIE AND JOY WE EXPERIENCED ON STAGE REFLECTED OUR DEEP CONNECTION WITH EACH OTHER, WITH OUR FANS, AND WITH THE MUSIC.ĮVERY NIGHT BEFORE WALKING OUT ONTO THE STAGE, WE WOULD HUDDLE, GET FOCUSED, AND SHARE WHATEVER LAST-SECOND REMARKS POPPED INTO OUR HEADS. CHESTER SHARED WITH US THAT HE FELT THIS WAS THE BEST TOUR WE HAD EVER DONE. THE SHOWS WE PLAYED TOGETHER DURING THE EARLY SUMMER OF 2017 WERE EXTRAORDINARY. NOT SURPRISINGLY, HE WELCOMED THE CHALLENGE. AFTER WE FINISHED RECORDING THE ALBUM, WE JOKED WITH CHESTER THAT - SINCE HE HAD DELIVERED SO MANY STUNNING PERFORMANCES IN THE STUDIO - HE HAD SET THE BAR EXTRA HIGH TO PRODUCE THAT ALCHEMY ON STAGE EACH NIGHT. WE DEDICATE THIS LIVE ALBUM TO OUR BROTHER CHESTER WHO POURED HIS HEART AND SOUL INTO ONE MORE LIGHT.
