Shinoda described the album as follows: “it’s a journey out of grief and darkness, not into grief and darkness […] If people have been through something similar, I hope they feel less alone. If they haven’t been through this, I hope they feel grateful.”

Back in January, Shinoda dropped a three track EP and released a statement saying, “the past six months have been a rollercoaster. Amidst the chaos, I’ve started to feel an intense gratitiude – for your tributes and messages of support, for the career you have allowed me to have, and for the simple opportunity to create. Today I’m sharing three songs I wrote and produced, with visuals that I filmed, painted and edited myself.”

“At its core, grief is a personal, intimate experience. As such, this is not Linkin Park, nor is it Fort Minor – it’s just me. Art has always been the place I go when I need to sort through the complexity and confusion of the road ahead. I don’t know where this path goes, but I’m grateful I get to share it with you.”
