Linkin Park will release Papercuts (Singles Collection 2000–2023), their first career-spanning greatest hits album, on 12 April via Warner Records.
The 20-track collection brings together songs including “In The End”, “Numb”, “Crawling”, “What I’ve Done” and “One Step Closer”, alongside fan favourite “QWERTY” and “Lost”, which surfaced during work on the 20th-anniversary edition of Meteora.
Papercuts also features “Friendly Fire”, a previously unreleased track recorded during sessions for 2017 album One More Light. The song features vocals from Chester Bennington and arrives with a video made from previously unseen studio and live footage.
Brad Delson described “Friendly Fire” as “beautiful, compelling, heartbreaking, hopeful”, while Mike Shinoda said putting the collection together meant revisiting songs that each represent a different point in Linkin Park’s history.
The anthology follows the band’s 20th-anniversary reissues of Hybrid Theory and Meteora. It will be released digitally and across physical formats including CD, cassette and double vinyl, with limited-edition colour variants also available.
