Linkin Park – From Zero

Soundstage is a massive improvement over the original pressing but quality control in the actual vinyl on the EU version is shocking at this price point. The run in grooves are all wavy on the outer edges as vinyl hasn’t properly cooled and the vinyl itself is covered in pits on all sides. Maybe I’ve just been unlucky because outside of the pressing pops, the audio mix/master is a 10/10.

This is such a high-quality package. The embossed, velvet-like slipcase is gorgeous, and the vinyl color itself is too.

In of sound quality, this sounds noticeably better than my standard splatter copy. Less surface noice, and even the soundstage sounds more full than before.

Kind of a perfect pressing!

For anyone wanting either of the LP webstore versions of From Zero Deluxe, several retailers appear to have received overstock from overseas, as the ghostly orchid vinyl and expanded CD are listed in several places for a May 23rd release date

Purchased this album today. Listened in one go right after unpacking. Can say: true 4 out of 5. Overall, this album did not disappointed, but surprised me with 2000s vibes, well-known rap vocals by Mike Shinoda, and, which I was almost shocked, vocals by Emily Armstrong. I am a Linkin Park fan since "Living Things" (2012) and I did not expect this album to be so good.

My Top-3 songs are:

• From Zero & The Emptiness Machine - I heard this song right after the annoucement, and instantly liked it
• Overflow - I can feel some 2000s Radiohead here. Like "Everything In Its Right Place"
• Two Faced - classic 2000s. Just how I love by this band

Amazing visuals inside and great to have the best 5 songs live

My top 3 :
1 - Heavy Is The Crown
2 - The Emptiness Machine
3 - Over Each Other

Good pressing, nice album aswell. All of these songs are pretty good, Emily does a good job here. Its weird hearing new material from them...like, REALLY weird. It still hasn't fully sunk into my brain that this is like, real and happening and its been a good while since this album dropped.

I'm a little less excited than the other reviews about the sound quality. A little noisy, and some tracks sound better than others. Good, but not great

This album is chock full of bangers. I think we all knew that they had a chance to return to greatness from the initial release of "The Emptiness Machine," followed by "Heavy is the Crown" and then finally "Over Each Other." Those three songs are phenomenal songs. However, I think my favorite from the album is between "Overflow" and "Stained," neither of which were released by themselves before the album released globally. The album is a complete package that I haven't stopped listening to since it released. Linkin Park is back. Emily Armstrong matches their old sound and can belt it out just like Chester Bennington did. Rejoice! The glory days of Hybrid Theory and Meteora have returned.

Does someone know if the pink deluxe edition will be available somewhere else than on their website ? I know they sell this as ''exclusive'' but it's not always true as I've seen for other artists. Any answers would help, thanks !
