Linkin Park Is A Work In Progress
Linkin Park’s Mike Shinoda is explaining why the band decided to give Meteora the deluxe treatment for its 20th anniversary.
In a new interview, the musician explained that part of the reason it all came together was because they started to uncover the stuff that hadn’t been released.
He went on to explain that around the time they made “Hybrid Theory,” the band started “filming everything,” resulting in a surplus of footage and a visual history of the 2003 LP.
He said, “So that’s why the Meteora 20 package is what it is, because we started capturing everything. It’s like other bands weren’t really filming everything at the time. Filming wasn’t super easy. You didn’t have camera phones. The idea of work in progress became one of the themes of the album. It’s like, yeah, we are a work in progress. Our music is a work in progress. All the stuff that we’re making, we were aware, maybe in 10 years we won’t love it as much as we do right now, but we love it right now. So let’s just show people what we’re doing.”
