As someone who grew up loving Linkin Park, I am hesitantly excited. The single they released is actually pretty good - The Emptiness Machine.

She was great. She's able to hit those vocal ranges that Chester was able to. Kinda sounds like him too in certain songs.

Looking forward to this new era of LP.

She did a good job but this really made me appreciate how unique Chester Bennington's voice was.

Edit: I take it back. She's a Scientologist. Gross.

You realized it before this 😉.

But agree with you. I do like what I'm hearing, so take the rest of this comment as microcritique.

... it sounds too polished to me. It sounds too much like their later albums (fine), but i feel like I'm not given any time to fall in love with the raw vocals and the raw sound. It just sounds too polished out of the gate, especially for a live show.

I think the underproduced to overproduced sound happens with everyone, so not knocking it, but id really love to hear some more raw (less overproduced) music with this band and this singer.

That being said I've only listened to the first song! Ive bookmarked it for this weekend .

Just looking for proof she’s currently a Scientologist.
