Linkin Park has digitally reissued their 2007 album Minutes To Midnight for its 15th anniversary. In addition to the regular edition of the album, the new version features a combination of bonus tracks found on the Japanese and iTunes versions of the album. They are:
- "No Roads Left"
- "Across The Line"
- "Given Up" (Third Encore Session)
- "What I've Done" (Distorted Remix)
In addition, Minutes To Minutes has been certified 5x multi-platinum (for achieving over 5 million sales) by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). The two singles "Bleed It Out" and "Minutes To Midnight" have also achieved 6x multi-platinum and 4x multi-platinum statuses. Which is a really impressive amount of sales considering the album has only been out for 15 years.
Linkin Park also recently promised to communicate with fans more in the form of a newsletter called Notes From The Band that will be issued monthly.
"Two decades in and our LP community continues to inspire us," said the band. "Your passion and dedication is the lifeblood of what we've built together with you. And it doesn't go unnoticed.
"We thought it was about time to begin sharing a little more regularly with you. Starting this month, we'll be putting (digital) pen to (digital) paper to share NOTES FROM THE BAND — tiny snapshots into our daily misadventures, from us each month. There's no concrete plan, but that's what we like about it."
Linkin Park multi-instrumentalist and vocalist Mike Shinoda said during a recent Twitch stream that the band has zero new music or tour plans in the pipeline at the moment. Shinoda added that there's no point to even attempt and start hype about a potential comeback now either, as the band has nothing going on right now.
"The only Linkin Park news I have for you is that… Yeah, we talk every few weeks — I talk to the guys, or some of the guys. And there's no tours, there's no music, there's no albums in the pipeline. Okay, so let me just tell you that. So just keep in your minds that that is not happening.
"I'm just gonna say that much for now. I say that because anytime the band says anything or does anything, everyone tries to start up the hype train, and we're, like, 'No, no, no, no. Don't start up the hype train.' You're gonna disappoint yourself. Don't do that."
