WHY IT MATTERS
COMEBACK. This is the first real look at how Linkin Park rebuilt itself after losing Bennington in 2017, and Hahn directing it means the band controls the story instead of handing it to an outsider. The fact that they are still teasing a release date instead of locking one down suggests they are either still editing or waiting to see how the Armstrong era plays out on the road first *.
