I just listened to the Emptiness Machine, it's pretty good. I haven't listened to Linkin Park since the tragedy and it feels weird and a bit sad to go back to them. But I like the song, and I'm glad they went with a female singer, it feels more like he wasn't replaced but just added to. And I've always liked bands that combine female and male singers, Eternal Idol is one of my favorites in that regard. But yeah, I like the song, can't wait to hear the whole album.

Edit: just started watching a bit of that live video, really emotional hearing them start up somewhere I belong, that's why I haven't listened to them since it happened. I'll go back to it a bit later.

Definitely think bringing on someone who “sounds like Chester” would have been a big mistake and seen (probably rightly) as a cash grab by many people. I like the idea of this being a continuation and not a replacement.
