Mike's "Post Traumatic", Album Out Now!

Mike Shinoda

It’s out people!! At least Apple Music :hushed: its 9:43pm here, I thought it shouldn’t be out til tomorrow :man_shrugging:

I can already say without a doubt that even though I know a few other songs are or will be much more liked, “promises I can’t keep” is my favorite off this album…hits me to the core and expresses a bit of emotional constipation I might have been carrying subconsciously haha

What stands out most to me is how comfortable he can be with so many variations of styles… I may not like some aspects but I said that about lots of LP songs and ended up getting just as attached to them-this will most likely be the same

I love it. It’s a good story.

The whole album is worth to listen and I particularly enjoy the last song, it lift me up, that’s was like a relief.

Thank you Mike. :hugs:

Just listened to the album. I have to say, I expected to enjoy it more, the songs were solid, but I only liked about 5 or 6 songs and only 2 or 3 of those are worth playing on repeat for me. It’s a decent album but I didn’t feel it the way I would if I had really liked it. Ghosts and Lift Off are probably my favourite tracks.

I’ve decided to start rating albums I listen to in “Like / Indifferent / Dislike” percentages. I.e. percentages calculated by the amount of tracks I like, am indifferent to and dislike on an album. For this album the percentages are 37.5% / 62.5% / 0% , even though I only give it a 37.5% like rate, I give it 7/10 as an album.

The whole album KICKS ASS!!! It’s impossible to decide which song is my favorite! All I know is that I CAN’T GET ENOUGH and I’ve been cranking up the album for hours! The album just sounds fresh and none of the songs sound the same! It’s a really great mix with great sounds and melodies that get stuck in your head and with genius lyrics! I’m REALLY looking forward to the tour!!! SO EXCITED!!! :heart_eyes:

I’m blown away by this album, never expected it to be this good. The songwriting and melodies are top notch and every song has something I like. I don’t wanna stop listening! Current favorites are Hold It Together, Ghosts, Promises I Can’t Keep and Can’t Hear You Now. Also, Mike’s rapping is stronger than ever!

Am I the only one who is not blown away by this album? I mean the lyrics are great but all together just doesn’t do that to me. I didn’t like About you and Running from my shadow was just ok and from the new songs only maybe two or three are good. As in good I mean that I like them. Overall i am disappointed. Maybe my expectations were too high? Or maybe I have to listen to it again. But right now this is what I think.

New interview!
I like when he said "I just think that there’s a lot of blue sky, and I’m willing to take my time in investigating where the path may lead. It’s more about the journey than the destination, I guess is what I’m saying." :heart: :heart: :heart:
