Im so tired of the "traditional" aka braindead musical structure, so this shit is soo refreshing to me.

I love the old hip hop vibes that the songs have. From the slightly crushed/compressed drums to the turntable scratches, to Shinoda's smooth flow, these songs were just phenomenally put together. Well done Mike 🤟🏻

2022? Holy crap. Yep. Going on twenty TWO years of being a Mike Shinoda super-fan now & I don't see any reason for it to stop any time soon?! (Yes, this means I discover LP back in the start of 7th grade when I was 12?! & My bff at that time, Chelsea, declared SHE loved Chester & I just so happened to get MY 1st true "Celebrity Crush" on Mr. Shinoda at that time, too. So, we made a perfect 12/13yo duo...? Hahaha) Will NEVER forget finally getting to see them live at ye ol' FAMILY VALUES TOUR circa 2002 at the Tacoma Dome near Seattle, WA the following year in 8th grade?! Ahh, yeah, those were DEFINITELY the days. Pretty damn amazing to hear Mike not just "STILL killing it" like he was back then; but truly sounding like he's finding his OWN sound & hitting his OWN, solo, unique stride! you're a damn ICON, Mike! Never stop doing what you KNOW you do best; you are truly a gift to the music industry & the entire WORLD!!! ❤️💜🖤💚💛

Great song Mike, and keep up the good work man. Also I gotta tell you Mike that I think that I can relate to how you must of felt when Chester tragically took his life... I recently had a best friend that took his life and it was so unexpected because he seemed like he was happy and never made any indication that he was in a bad place mentally. So I go back and listen to post traumatic and the lyrics make much more sense to me. I just hope that if anyone is contemplating suicide that they don't do it. I hope that they seek out help and understand that they are not alone and the negative impact it has on those who love them.
