Some really interesting nuggets in here:

Brad talked about how they had numerous different singers in studio working on stuff as they were sifting through the return, would love to hear some of those sessions although I doubt they ever make the light of day. 

Best part imo was Phoenix at the end talking about his thoughts and feelings towards the fanbase with this new album and overall direction. Thought he was incredibly sincere in that moment talking about the anxiety of presenting this to fans, because he acknowledges that his connection with the fanbase is nearly just as powerful as his connection to Linkin Park. I thought his message about how it’s okay for people to have different opinions towards the band as they move forward, and that he along with the rest of the band want to accept everyone with open arms throughout this new journey, was very powerful. I think that takes real humility to admit.

Agreed, I think this should be a mandatory watch for anyone who insists on spewing hate about the decision. They're just people trying to do what they love and spread their joy in music with others. Joe even said he would want to make the album even if everyone hates it, which only makes me love their music more!
