One More Light is the seventh studio album by American rock band Linkin Park. It was released on May 19, 2017, through Warner Bros. Records and Machine Shop. It is the band's first album to have a title track, as they felt that the song "One More Light" was the heart of the album. It is also the band's final album to feature two of their longtime members: co-lead vocalist Chester Bennington, who died of suicide two months after the album's release, and drummer and band co-founder Rob Bourdon, who opted to not return for the band's reformation in 2024.{{Cite magazine |last=Singh |first=Surej |date=September 5, 2024 |title=Linkin Park address founding drummer Rob Bourdon's departure |url=https://www.nme.com/news/music/linkin-park-address-founding-drummer-rob-bourdons-departure-3791129 |access-date=September 8, 2024 |magazine=NME}}

The band recorded the album between September 2015 and February 2017 in multiple studios. Band members Brad Delson and Mike Shinoda served as the album's primary producers. The sound of One More Light has been described as being more pop-focused, departing from the alternative rock and alternative metal sounds of their previous albums. The album features guest vocal appearances from Pusha T, Stormzy, and Kiiara, and production and songwriting collaborations with J. R. Rotem, Julia Michaels, Justin Tranter, Ross Golan, Andrew Goldstein, Blackbear, and Eg White.[http://www.nme.com/news/music/linkin-park-stormzy-good-goodbye-2043762 Linkin Park have collaborated with Stormzy]. NME. April 10, 2017. Retrieved April 10, 2017.

The album's lead single, "Heavy", featuring Kiiara, was released on February 16, 2017. "Battle Symphony", "Good Goodbye", and "Invisible" were released as promotional singles prior to the album's release. "Talking to Myself" and "One More Light" were released as radio singles later on. The album received mixed reviews from music critics; this, along with accusations of selling out, prompted an angry response from Bennington. One More Light performed well commercially, debuting at number one in several countries. It also became the band's fifth number-one album on the Billboard 200 and was certified Gold in five countries.

Background

In 2014, Linkin Park released their sixth studio album The Hunting Party. The album, produced by Mike Shinoda and Brad Delson, marked a shift from the overall rock sound in their previous albums produced with help of Rick Rubin. Shinoda began the pre-production of One More Light on his smartphone in mid-2015 during The Hunting Party Tour.{{citation needed|date=December 2022}} The main production began as soon as the tour ended. In the process, the band decided to write songs with some external help. They worked with Zayed Hassan, which resulted in his song "Sailing Through the Clouds",[http://us.openlabs.com/2015/08/07/zayed-hassan/ Zayed Hassan Interview / Linkin Park Contest Winner] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170516164303/http://us.openlabs.com/2015/08/07/zayed-hassan/ |date=May 16, 2017 }} Open Labs.

Facebook None of these collaborations, however, made the final version of the album. The album marks the second to be self-produced following The Hunting Party.

Composition

As a new concept to the band, all the songs featured on the album began with vocals being recorded first.[http://www.zachsangshow.com/2017/02/16/linkin-parks-mike-shinoda-interview-watch/ Linkin Park’s Mike Shinoda Interview] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171201041305/http://www.zachsangshow.com/2017/02/16/linkin-parks-mike-shinoda-interview-watch/ |date=December 1, 2017 }} ZSTG-IP February 16, 2017. They worked on the story first, then the hook, and finally the music. In an interview with Zane Lowe, Shinoda explained the composition as, "In terms of the style of the record, it's one of the most diverse stylistically, there's more genres mashed into this album than anything we've ever put out. You don't hear a lot of super heavy guitars. There isn't any screaming on the record." He adds, "To some extent it is a very polished record. Stylistically we wanted to blend all of the sound and genres together in a way you can’t tell them apart".[http://antidiary.com/video/page/mike-shinoda-of--linkin-park-interview-with-zane-lowe-beats-1-radio-february-12-2017 Mike Shinoda of Linkin Park interview with Zane Lowe beats 1 Radio February 12 2017] AntiDiary February 16, 2017. As to why they chose "Heavy" to present the album to the world, he told Billboard, "One of the reasons why we chose 'Heavy' as the first single is because it is really the core sound of the album. This wasn't a scenario where the whole album sounds one way and the single sounds different. This is how the album sounds. So we wanted to go out with a song like that, where everybody can get a sense of the direction of this body of work." According to him, a lot of songs on the album can make the listener think of old songs by The Cure or Tears for Fears.[http://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/rock/7694010/linkin-parks-mike-shinoda-talks-heavy-new-single-hooking-up-with Linkin Park's Mike Shinoda Talks 'Heavy' New Single & Hooking up With Kiiara] Billboard. February 16, 2017

In an interview with MusicRadar, Brad Delson explained,

{{cquote|I wound up putting a lot of guitar on this album. There’s a lot of layers and a lot of different guitars. The guitar work is nuanced and complementary to all of the other elements that we have put in there. I find guitar to be a dominant ingredient in any soup. The minute I put loud heavy guitars into an arrangement, I feel like it is a heavy colour. One of the goals of the production of this album was to do away with any notion of genre. We were looking at ways to juxtapose influences that we have in ways that you haven’t heard before. Building the guitar work into that was a fun challenge. I love the guitar work and tones that our engineer Ethan helped create with me and Mike [Shinoda] throughout this album. Even though you don’t hear guitar in the foreground in a heavy-handed way, there really is a ton of guitar on this album, and I’m really proud of it.|author=Brad Delson[http://www.musicradar.com/news/linkin-parks-brad-delson-talks-one-more-light-there-really-is-a-ton-of-guitar-on-this-album Linkin Park’s Brad Delson talks One More Light: 'There really is a ton of guitar on this album'] MusicRadar. March 3, 2017.}}

Further elaborating on his guitar work, Delson said, "I love the acoustic work on 'Sharp Edges'. I really like all of the layering of guitars on 'Invisible' as well. There's also a really unique presentation of the guitar in a way that I don’t think we’ve ever done on a song called 'Sorry For Now'. That was one of the things that we were really excited about – it is wildly different to anything else that we have been doing."

The album features collaborations with songwriters and other artists. "Heavy" features vocals by pop singer Kiiara, and "Good Goodbye" features verses by rappers Pusha T and Stormzy.[http://923amp.cbslocal.com/2017/02/21/linkin-park-chester-bennington-facebook-interview/ Linkin Park’s Chester Bennington LIVE on Facebook with 92.3 AMP] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170225025357/http://923amp.cbslocal.com/2017/02/21/linkin-park-chester-bennington-facebook-interview/ |date=February 25, 2017 }} 92.3 AMP Radio New York February 21, 2017.

Recording

The band had been writing and recording mostly in Los Angeles but also had a few sessions in London and Canada where they worked with a few songwriters.[http://www.roadtorevolutionbr.com/2016/12/29/mike-shinoda-fala-um-pouco-mais-sobre-o-novo-album-a-revista-kerrang/ Mike Shinoda fala um pouco mais sobre o novo álbum a Revista Kerrang.] Road To Revolution Brasil. December 29, 2016. In Los Angeles, the band started working at the Larrabee Studios where they had worked for their previous album. After noticing the band needed a bit more space they shifted to Sphere Studios.[https://soundcloud.com/linkin_park/studio-update-6-mike-brad-podcast Studio Update #6 – Mike & Brad Podcast by LINKIN_PARK, Listen free on SoundCloud] SoundCloud. July 27, 2016. Starting in early 2016 the band decided to open up their process to fans through social media by doing live streams, posting pictures and videos of their day by day in the studio, and sending studio updates to their mailing list.

In an interview with Billboard, Shinoda said "We've focused almost exclusively on songwriting, not on sound, not on genre, not on arrangement, on words and melodies. And that is something Rick [Rubin] has always told us to do years past and we never listened because we started always track first. Now we're writing songs and now we're just starting to get into the style of that."[http://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/rock/7325484/linkin-park-2016-album-charity-poker-tournament-interview Linkin Park Talk 2016 Album at Charity Poker Tournament: 'We Have a Mountain of Material'] Billboard. April 6, 2016 While working with Justin Parker in London, Mike also learned a different approach to songwriting: to write without any sound in mind and, instead, write with meaning in mind. Instead of writing tracks piece by piece, the band wouldn't leave a session without having a song. It would all start as a conversation, and out of those the songs would build progressively from a chord progression to lyrics.

In the past, the band had a different approach to collaborations, as explained by Mike: "Usually it means we’ve finished the song but we'll ask somebody to add something to the top of it." He added: "Generally, here's how it would work: we'd get in the room with someone, and start on something from scratch with them. We worked mostly in the same way we always write songs, but with extra firepower in the room."[http://www.lpassociation.com/forum/threads/lpassociation-interview-mike-shinoda-discusses-new-linkin-park-album-one-more-light.42860/ LPAssociation Interview – Mike Shinoda Discusses New Linkin Park Album 'One More Light'] LP Association.

Bennington had also reached out to Billy Howerdel of A Perfect Circle to collaborate on a song for the album. The two collaborated on a track titled "Eat the Elephant", but it was ultimately left off the album, due to it not matching the direction of One More Light's sound. Howerdel completely reworked the song musically and lyrically, and recorded it with Maynard James Keenan on vocals for their April 2018 album Eat the Elephant.{{cite web|url=http://www.laut.de/News/A-Perfect-Circle-Ich-hoerte-Chester-in-dem-Song-06-03-2018-14468|title=A Perfect Circle: "Ich hörte Chester in dem Song" – laut.de – News|work=laut.de|date=March 6, 2018|access-date=March 22, 2018}}{{cite magazine|url=https://www.rollingstone.com/music/features/a-perfect-circles-maynard-james-keenan-talks-new-album-w516301|title=A Perfect Circle's Maynard James Keenan Talks First Album in 14 Years|magazine=Rolling Stone|last=Grow|first=Kory|date=February 5, 2018|access-date=March 22, 2018}}

Artwork and packaging

In an interview with Kerrang! magazine, Shinoda explained that the children seen on the album cover are those of a friend of the band and represent what the band members feel when their respective families get together. The photo was shot at Venice Beach by Frank Maddocks, who has previously contributed to artworks for Deftones and Green Day's Revolution Radio. The album cover also somewhat resembles the logo of the film company Lakeshore Entertainment.{{cite web|url=https://genius.com/albums/Linkin-park/One-more-light |title=Linkin Park – One More Light Lyrics |publisher=Genius |access-date=March 28, 2017}}

The album was made available on Linkin Park's official website in five different packages: CD + LPU membership, vinyl + LPU Membership, CD bundle, vinyl bundle, and the "Just Give Me Everything" box set. All offers were accompanied by an LPU digital membership. Both the CD bundle and vinyl bundle include a One More Light T-shirt and a silver Linkin Park logo enamel pin. The box set was bound inside a special One More Light super deluxe box with a 48-page hardcover book featuring all the best photos from the album package and all the lyrics, a unique 2.4" × 1.8" instant photo of the band, and a gold enamel pin set featuring a Linkin Park pin, an LP Hex logo pin, and a "OML" logo pin.

At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the album has an average score of 46 out of 100 based on 7 reviews, which indicates "mixed or average" reviews.{{cite web|url=http://www.metacritic.com/music/one-more-light/linkin-park|title=Reviews and Tracks for One More Light by Linkin Park|publisher=Metacritic|access-date=May 19, 2017}} NME criticized the album's quality, giving it a 2/10 score and concluding that "It’s harsh to criticise a great band for trying something different, and it’s not an issue that this is a pop album. The issue is that it’s a weak and contrived commercial move (perhaps to compete with the likes of Twenty One Pilots)."{{cite web|url=http://www.nme.com/reviews/album/linkin-park-one-more-light-review|title=Linkin Park – 'One More Light' Review|date=May 17, 2017 |publisher=NME}} Neil Z. Yeung of AllMusic agreed, stating that "The issue isn't that it's a pop effort; indeed, they get points for a brave attempt so outside of their wheelhouse. The problem is that much of One More Light is devoid of that visceral charge that previously defined much of their catalog... there's no feral screaming from Chester Bennington, there are barely any riffs, and DJ Hahn has disappeared beneath the textured studio sheen."{{cite web|url=http://www.allmusic.com/album/one-more-light-mw0003023781/|title=Linkin Park: One More Light. AllMusic Review by Neil Z. Yeung|publisher=AllMusic|access-date=October 11, 2020}} Team Rock criticized the move away from rock music, stating that the album "makes Ed Sheeran sound like Extreme Noise Terror...With One More Light, Linkin Park have waved goodbye to rock."{{cite web|url=http://teamrock.com/review/2017-04-26/linkin-park-one-more-light-album-review|title=Linkin Park – One More Light album review|date=April 26, 2017 |publisher=Team Rock}} Troy L. Smith at The Plain Dealer described "Invisible" and "Nobody Can Save Me" as "well-rounded pop songs," but also noting, "That won't stop Linkin Park diehards from getting a sweet tooth from the whiny 'Halfway Right' or the boring title track. Heck, even Skrillex-like EDM can't save 'Sorry for Now' from corny territory."{{cite web|url=http://www.cleveland.com/entertainment/index.ssf/2017/05/linkin_park_try_fans_patience.html|title=Linkin Park tries fans' patience on 'One More Light' (Review)|date=May 18, 2017 |access-date=May 19, 2017}} Consequence of Sound criticized the album for sounding like it was trying to "chase the trend of pop-EDM in an attempt to capitalize on its ubiquity" and sound "as if they were selected by committee", leading the album to sound like "a muddled mess of a record from a band that completely abandoned any sense of identity".

Newsday gave the album a B+ and praised the band's new direction, comparing it to the works of Coldplay and Owl City and concluding "One More Light shows how well Linkin Park has absorbed the current pop scene and applied it to their own music to genuinely reflect who they are today, not who some fans want them to be."{{cite web|url=http://www.newsday.com/entertainment/music/one-more-light-review-linkin-park-goes-pop-1.13643496|title='One More Light' review: Linkin Park goes pop|publisher=Newsday|access-date=May 20, 2017}}

=Band response=

The band, specifically frontman Chester Bennington, lashed out in response to the negative reception of One More Light{{'}}s material. As documented through Spin magazine, in an interview with Music Week, Bennington, at the accusations that the band had "sold out", suggested that those people should "stab [themselves] in the face" and "move the fuck on" from the band's past sound.{{cite web|url=http://www.spin.com/2017/05/linkin-park-chester-bennington-hybrid-theory/ |title=Linkin Park's Chester Bennington Tells Unhappy Fans to "Move the Fuck On" From Hybrid Theory |publisher=SPIN |date=May 10, 2017 |access-date=May 24, 2017}} Similarly, in a separate interview with Kerrang, Bennington, in response to claims of selling out with the album, said "If you're gonna be the person who says like 'they made a marketing decision to make this kind of record to make money' you can fucking meet me outside and I will punch you in your fucking mouth."{{cite web|author=SPIN |url=http://www.spin.com/2017/05/linkin-park-threats-fans-sellouts/ |title=Linkin Park Threaten Fans Who Call Them Sellouts |publisher=SPIN |date=May 23, 2017 |access-date=May 24, 2017}}{{cite web|url=http://www.altpress.com/news/entry/linkin_park_chester_bennington_sell_out_punch_you_in_mouth |title=Linkin Park's Chester Bennington on fans calling sell-out: "I will punch you in your f*cking mouth" – News – Alternative Press |website=Altpress.com |access-date=May 24, 2017}} In the same interview, Mike Shinoda also rejected the claims that they had made the album "for monetary reasons", responding, "that's not how I operate."{{cite web|url=http://www.fuse.tv/2017/05/linkin-park-sellout-chester-bennington-interview-quote-kerrang |title=Linkin Park Singer to Fans Crying 'Sellout': 'F-king Meet Me Outside' – Fuse |website=Fuse.tv |date=May 22, 2017 |access-date=May 24, 2017}} Bennington explained that the accusation of "selling out" angered him because he saw it as a personal attack, concluding that "when you make it personal, like a personal attack against who we are as people, like, dude, shut up. That means that I can actually have feelings about it and most of the time my feelings are 'I want to kill you'."{{cite web |url=http://loudwire.com/chester-bennington-linkin-park-sold-out-punch-you-in-your-mouth/ |title=Chester Bennington Slams Those Who Feel Linkin Park Sold Out |website=Loudwire.com |last=Divita |first=Joe |date=May 22, 2017 |access-date=May 24, 2017}}

In response to the comments, Slipknot and Stone Sour frontman Corey Taylor stated that he understood Bennington's frustrations, but advised him to "be fortunate for what you have, be fortunate for the fact that people are still coming to see you to hear the music. Give it a little time, you have to give it a little time."{{cite web |url=http://www.nme.com/news/music/slipknots-corey-taylor-responds-linkin-parks-chester-benningtons-hybrid-theory-comments-grateful-2070789 |title=Slipknot's Corey Taylor responds to Linkin Park's Chester Bennington's 'Hybrid Theory' comments: 'Be grateful' |last=Trendell |first=Andrew |date=May 12, 2017 |website=NME |publisher=Time Inc. UK |access-date=May 27, 2017}} Bennington later responded that he agreed with Taylor's statements, saying:

{{blockquote|"...I agree with him. I do appreciate our fans... I'm human and sometimes take things too personally. Most of our fans have been very positive lately. Some... not so much. Either way... there is a lot of passion on both sides and I am grateful to all of our fans. Corey is a good dude and I appreciate him too... Time to recalibrate my perspective. So I say to all of our fans... Thank you and I love you all. Peace, love and happiness."{{cite web |url=http://www.nme.com/news/music/linkin-park-chester-bennington-apology-fan-comments-2078212 |title=Linkin Park's Chester Bennington apologises for recent fan comments |last=Britton |first=Luke Morgan |date=May 25, 2017 |website=NME |publisher=Time Inc.
