Emily is not bad at all. Good choice for the new lead singer.

I am okay with Emily as the new lead singer. No one will ever replace Chester but I think she holds her own on the little we've seen so far. "The Emptiness Machine" does feel like a Linkin Park song, while also being different. Excited to have them back, even if it is different.

Judging from the live version, I like this. It sounds like something that would have fit in on The Hunting Party album, which I honestly think is their best work. Emily sounds good too.
ETA: And the studio version sounds at least just as good.

Yeah, Emily is kicking ass on this single. Good omen for the album. It reminds me of “Already Over” in a lot of ways, but more layered and evolved. Has a timeless sound to it.

What is the record for most spins in a week / debut on Mediabase ? I would assume that this single will probably be record breaking or maybe at least close to it. It should have a massive debut right?

It's not too bad. I'm not the biggest Linkin Park fan out there, and Mike Shinoda doesn't make it any easier . I probably would like it more with just Emily on vocals. She gives the band a louder vibe.

I would like to hear songs from them with only Emily having vocals. Hopefully the album provides more of this. I think this single was "calculated" in the sense that they wanted Shinoda to lead, and you're thinking "that's it? this kinda sucks..." and then suddenly she takes on the vocals and there is this great surprise and astonishment hearing her for the first time. Or...at least that's what I was thinking... It's not too bad. I'm not the biggest Linkin Park fan out there, and Mike Shinoda doesn't make it any easier . I probably would like it more with just Emily on vocals. She gives the band a louder vibe.

I think they picked this song as sort of an element of surprise deal because Mike Shinoda’ starts it then Emily comes in to surprise everyone. We all knew there was a strong possibility of a new lead singer and it was strongly rumored to be a female so it honestly shouldn’t have came as a surprise to anyone. Alice In Chains is making it fine with William DuVall and STP has made it fine with Jeff Gutt. Linkin Park will be fine with Emily. No one can replace the iconic vocals of Chester, Layne or Scott but these bands have all found suitable new lead vocalists that clearly the fans are liking.

Can really only see WEQX and maybe 91X holding out on Alt. Active has a couple of really stodgy stations that are slow with currents and they may hold off on this for a week or two as well.

Not really a fan of this, just like The Fray changing their vocalist.

One time yesterday and 3 times this morning. I don't know if it's an add yet but usually their rotations are 3-7 plays a week. 99X hasn't played it at all

Loved her on Dead Sara's "Weatherman". I like this single as well. There we're a few clips I caught online of thier recent concert introducing Emily. She sounds great. Its obviously going to be different, but shes a great addition .
