After the Battle of Carchemish in 605 BCE , Nebuchadnezzar , the king of Babylon , besieged Jerusalem , resulting in tribute being paid by King Jehoiakim . Jehoiakim refused to pay tribute in Nebuchadnezzar 's fourth year , which led to another siege in Nebuchadnezzar 's seventh year , culminating with the death of Jehoiakim and the exile of King Jeconiah , his court and many others ; Jeconiah 's successor Zedekiah and others were exiled in Nebuchadnezzar 's eighteenth year ; a later deportation occurred in Nebuchadnezzar 's twenty - third year . The dates , numbers of deportations , and numbers of deportees given in the biblical accounts vary . These deportations are dated to 597 BCE for the first , with others dated at 587 / 586 BCE , and 582 / 581 BCE respectively . After the fall of Babylon to the Persian king Cyrus the Great in 539 BCE , exiled Judeans were permitted to return to Judah . According to the biblical book of Ezra , construction of the second temple in Jerusalem began around 537 BCE . All these events are considered significant in Jewish history and culture , and had a far - reaching impact on the development of Judaism . Archaeological studies have revealed that not all of the population of Judah was deported , and that , although Jerusalem was utterly destroyed , other parts of Judah continued to be inhabited during the period of the exile . The return of the exiles was a gradual process rather than a single event , and many of the deportees or their descendants did not return .

In the last decades of the century , Assyria was overthrown by Babylon , an Assyrian province . Egypt , fearing the sudden rise of the Neo-Babylonian empire , seized control of Assyrian territory up to the Euphrates river in Syria , but Babylon counter-attacked . In the process Josiah , the king of Judah , was killed in a battle with the Egyptians at the Battle of Megiddo ( 609 BCE ) . After the defeat of Pharaoh Necho 's army by the Babylonians at Carchemish in 605 BCE , Jehoiakim began paying tribute to Nebuchadnezzar II of Babylon . Some of the young nobility of Judah were taken to Babylon . In the following years , the court of Jerusalem was divided into two parties , in support of Egypt and Babylon . After Nebuchadnezzar was defeated in battle in 601 BCE by Egypt , Judah revolted against Babylon , culminating in a three - month siege of Jerusalem beginning in late 598 BCE . Jehoiakim , the king of Judah , died during the siege and was succeeded by his son Jehoiachin ( also called Jeconiah ) at the age of eighteen . The city fell on 2 Adar ( March 16 ) 597 BCE , and Nebuchadnezzar pillaged Jerusalem and its Temple and took Jeconiah , his court and other prominent citizens ( including the prophet Ezekiel ) back to Babylon . Jehoiakim 's uncle Zedekiah was appointed king in his place , but the exiles in Babylon continued to consider Jeconiah as their Exilarch , or rightful ruler . Despite warnings by Jeremiah and others of the pro-Babylonian party , Zedekiah revolted against Babylon and entered into an alliance with Pharaoh Hophra . Nebuchadnezzar returned , defeated the Egyptians , and again besieged Jerusalem , resulting in the city 's destruction in 587 BCE . Nebuchadnezzar destroyed the city wall and the Temple , together with the houses of the most important citizens . Zedekiah and his sons were captured , the sons were executed in front of Zedekiah , who was then blinded and taken to Babylon with many others ( Jer 52 : 10 -- 11 ) . Judah became a Babylonian province , called Yehud , putting an end to the independent Kingdom of Judah . ( Because of the missing years in the Jewish calendar , rabbinic sources place the date of the destruction of the First Temple at 3338 HC ( 423 BCE ) or 3358 HC ( 403 BCE ) ) . Illustration from the Nuremberg Chronicle of the destruction of Jerusalem under the Babylonian rule The first governor appointed by Babylon was Gedaliah , a native Judahite ; he encouraged the many Jews who had fled to surrounding countries such as Moab , Ammon and Edom to return , and he took steps to return the country to prosperity . Some time later , a surviving member of the royal family assassinated Gedaliah and his Babylonian advisors , prompting many refugees to seek safety in Egypt . By the end of the second decade of the 6th century , in addition to those who remained in Judah , there were significant Jewish communities in Babylon and in Egypt ; this was the beginning of the later numerous Jewish communities living permanently outside Judah in the Jewish Diaspora . According to the book of Ezra , the Persian Cyrus the Great ended the exile in 538 BCE , the year after he captured Babylon . The exile ended with the return under Zerubbabel the Prince ( so - called because he was a descendant of the royal line of David ) and Joshua the Priest ( a descendant of the line of the former High Priests of the Temple ) and their construction of the Second Temple in the period 521 -- 516 BCE . Archaeological and other non-biblical evidence ( edit ) Nebuchadnezzar 's siege of Jerusalem , his capture of King Jeconiah , his appointment of Zedekiah in his place , and the plundering of the city in 597 BCE are corroborated by a passage in the Babylonian Chronicles : In the seventh year , in the month of Kislev , the king of Akkad mustered his troops , marched to the Hatti - land , and encamped against the City of Judah and on the ninth day of the month of Adar he seized the city and captured the king . He appointed there a king of his own choice and taking heavy tribute brought it back to Babylon . Jehoiachin 's Rations Tablets , describing ration orders for a captive King of Judah , identified with King Jeconiah , have been discovered during excavations in Babylon , in the royal archives of Nebuchadnezzar . One of the tablets refers to food rations for `` Ya'u - kīnu , king of the land of Yahudu '' and five royal princes , his sons . Nebuchadnezzar and the Babylonian forces returned in 588 / 586 BCE and rampaged through Judah , leaving clear archaeological evidence of destruction in many towns and settlements there . Clay ostraca from this period , referred to as the Lachish letters , were discovered during excavations ; one , which was probably written to the commander at Lachish from an outlying base , describes how the signal fires from nearby towns were disappearing : `` And may ( my lord ) be apprised that we are watching for the fire signals of Lachish according to all the signs which my lord has given , because we can not see Azeqah . '' Archaeological finds from Jerusalem testify that virtually the whole city within the walls was burnt to rubble in 587 BCE and utterly destroyed . Archaeological excavations and surveys have enabled the population of Judah before the Babylonian destruction to be calculated with a high degree of confidence to have been approximately 75,000 . Taking the different biblical numbers of exiles at their highest , 20,000 , this would mean that at most 25 % of the population had been deported to Babylon , with the remaining 75 % staying in Judah . Although Jerusalem was destroyed and depopulated , with large parts of the city remaining in ruins for 150 years , numerous other settlements in Judah continued to be inhabited , with no signs of disruption visible in archaeological studies . The Cyrus Cylinder , an ancient tablet on which is written a declaration in the name of Cyrus referring to restoration of temples and repatriation of exiled peoples , has often been taken as corroboration of the authenticity of the biblical decrees attributed to Cyrus , but other scholars point out that the cylinder 's text is specific to Babylon and Mesopotamia and makes no mention of Judah or Jerusalem . Professor Lester L. Grabbe asserted that the `` alleged decree of Cyrus '' regarding Judah , `` can not be considered authentic '' , but that there was a `` general policy of allowing deportees to return and to re-establish cult sites '' . He also stated that archaeology suggests that the return was a `` trickle '' taking place over decades , rather than a single event . As part of the Persian Empire , the former Kingdom of Judah became the province of Judah ( Yehud Medinata ) with different borders , covering a smaller territory . The population of the province was greatly reduced from that of the kingdom , archaeological surveys showing a population of around 30,000 people in the 5th to 4th centuries BCE . An exhibition in Jerusalem has on display over 100 cuneiform tablets that detail trade in fruits and other commodities , taxes , debts , and credits accumulated between Jews driven from , or convinced to move from Jerusalem by King Nebuchadnezzar around 600 BCE . They include details on one exiled Judean family over four generations , all with Hebrew names . Exilic literature ( edit ) The exilic period was a rich one for Hebrew literature . Biblical depictions of the exile include Book of Jeremiah 39 -- 43 ( which saw the exile as a lost opportunity ) ; the final section of 2 Kings ( which portrays it as the temporary end of history ) ; 2 Chronicles ( in which the exile is the `` Sabbath of the land '' ) ; and the opening chapters of Ezra , which records its end . Other works from or about the exile include the stories in Daniel 1 -- 6 , Susanna , Bel and the Dragon , the `` Story of the Three Youths '' ( 1 Esdras 3 : 1 -- 5 : 6 ) , and the books of Tobit and Book of Judith . The Priestly source , one of the four main sources of the Torah / Pentateuch in the Bible , is primarily a product of the post-exilic period when the former Kingdom of Judah had become the Persian province of Yehud . Also during this Persian period , the final redaction of the Pentateuch purportedly took place . Significance in Jewish history ( edit ) This section needs additional citations for verification .

In the Hebrew Bible , the captivity in Babylon is presented as a punishment for idolatry and disobedience to Yahweh in a similar way to the presentation of Israelite slavery in Egypt followed by deliverance . The Babylonian Captivity had a number of serious effects on Judaism and Jewish culture . For example , the current Hebrew alphabet was adopted during this period , replacing the Paleo - Hebrew alphabet . This period saw the last high - point of biblical prophecy in the person of Ezekiel , followed by the emergence of the central role of the Torah in Jewish life . According to many historical - critical scholars , the Torah was redacted during this time , and began to be regarded as the authoritative text for Jews . This period saw their transformation into an ethno - religious group who could survive without a central Temple . This process coincided with the emergence of scribes and sages as Jewish leaders ( see Ezra ) . Prior to exile , the people of Israel had been organized according to tribe . Afterwards , they were organized by smaller family groups . Only the tribe of Levi continued in its temple role after the return . After this time , there were always sizable numbers of Jews living outside Eretz Israel ; thus , it also marks the beginning of the `` Jewish diaspora '' , unless this is considered to have begun with the Assyrian Captivity of Israel . In Rabbinic literature , Babylon was one of a number of metaphors for the Jewish diaspora . Most frequently the term `` Babylon '' meant the diaspora prior to the destruction of the Second Temple . The post-destruction term for the Jewish Diaspora was `` Rome '' , or `` Edom '' . Chronology ( edit ) The following table is based on Rainer Albertz 's work on Israel in exile . ( Alternative dates are possible . ) Year Event 609 BCE Death of Josiah 609 -- 598 BCE Reign of Jehoiakim ( succeeded Jehoahaz , who replaced Josiah but reigned only 3 months ) Began giving tribute to Nebuchadnezzar in 605 BCE .

Overall , the difficulty in calculation arises because the biblical texts provide varying numbers for the different deportations . The HB / OT 's conflicting figures for the dates , number , and victims of the Babylonian deportations become even more of a problem for historical reconstruction because , other than the brief reference to the first capture of Jerusalem ( 597 ) in the Babylonian Chronicle , historians have only the biblical sources with which to work .

Machine Shop Producer Brad Delson Mike Shinoda Linkin Park studio album chronology The Hunting Party ( 2014 ) The Hunting Party 2014 One More Light ( 2017 ) Singles from One More Light `` Heavy '' Released : February 16 , 2017 `` Talking to Myself '' Released : July 25 , 2017 `` One More Light '' Released : October 3 , 2017 One More Light is the seventh studio album by American rock band Linkin Park . It was released on May 19 , 2017 through Warner Bros. and Machine Shop . It is the last Linkin Park record produced before lead vocalist Chester Bennington 's death on July 20 , 2017 . 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 metal sound of their previous album , The Hunting Party ( 2014 ) . The album features guest vocal appearances from Pusha T , Stormzy , and Kiiara , and production and songwriting collaborations with Julia Michaels , Justin Tranter , Ross Golan , Andrew Goldstein , blackbear , and Eg White . The album is also the band 's first to feature a title track , as they felt that the song `` One More Light '' was the heart of the album . 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 performed well commercially , debuting at number one in several countries ; it became the band 's fifth number - one album on the Billboard 200 , as well . It was certified gold in three countries and silver by the BPI in the UK . Despite a positive commercial performance , it received mixed reviews from music critics . This , along with accusations of selling out , prompted an angry response from Bennington .

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 . The pre-production of One More Light began in mid-2015 during The Hunting Party Tour by Shinoda on his phone . 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 '' , Martin Garrix , Hot Karl , Mike Baczor of the band Her0 , The Lonely Island , which resulted in `` Things in My Jeep '' , and One Ok Rock . 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 ( edit ) As a new concept to the band , all the songs featured on the album began with vocals being recorded first . 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 do n't hear a lot of super heavy guitars . There is n'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 ca n't tell them apart '' . 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 was n'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 . In an interview with MusicRadar Brad Delson explained , `` 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 have n'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 do n'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 . '' -- Brad Delson 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 do n'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 albums 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 . Genre-wise , the album has been described as pop , pop rock and electropop . Recording ( edit ) One of Bennington 's final performances with Linkin Park on July 4 , 2017 at the O2 Brixton Academy in London . 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 . 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 . Starting in the early 2016 the band decided , for the first time , 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 . '' 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 would n'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 a promotional teaser , Shinoda said : `` The one thing that I am super excited about , I really wan na like make the riskiest songs now , because I feel like we 're at the point where it 's like , `` okay , we 've handled so many things '' and risky could be a lot of different kinds of risky . Risky could mean the most weirdest , the weirdest thing , weirdest chord progressions or whatever , or could be the poppiest thing that comes to mind . That we just got like we made that work like it sounds like us , it does n't sound weird , it sounds like very cool , and I wan na make some songs where you go like `` holy shit '' That 's where we got ta find that . '' -- Mike Shinoda While most of the collaborators on the album were just songwriters , the band also brought in vocal producers because they wanted a different perspective on how to approach the vocals . Among the collaborators are Justin Parker , Conner Youngblood , Jon Green , blackbear , Andrew Goldstein , Eg White , Emily Wright , Andrew Bolooki , Andrew Dawson , RAC , Corrin Roddick , and Ross Golan . American singer Kiiara also had a seven - hour session with Linkin Park to record her vocals for `` Heavy '' , and rappers Stormzy and Pusha T contributed to the album with original verses . 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 . '' Artwork and packaging ( edit ) 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 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 an gold enamel pin set featuring a Linkin Park pin , a LP Hex logo pin , and a `` OML '' logo pin . It also included both the CD and vinyl versions of the album as well as the One More Light T - shirt . Promotion ( edit ) Main article : One More Light Tour Chester Bennington ( left ) and Mike Shinoda ( right ) performed fourteen press promo shows for the promotion of the album The first single , `` Heavy '' , was released via Los Angeles radio station KROQ on February 16 , 2017 . The track is a duet with American singer and songwriter Kiiara , marking the first time a Linkin Park song from a studio album has featured a female vocalist . The song was written by Linkin Park with Julia Michaels and Justin Tranter , while Emily Wright and Andrew Bolooki handled vocal production . The band released a second track from the album , `` Battle Symphony '' , on March 16 , 2017 , with an accompanying lyric video . A third track from the album , `` Good Goodbye '' , was released for download on April 13 , 2017 , along with an accompanying lyric video followed by a music video . The song features American rapper Pusha T and English hip hop artist Stormzy . On May 10 , 2017 , the band put out one final pre-release track , `` Invisible '' , with an accompanying lyric video . `` Talking to Myself '' was sent to alternative radio July 25 , 2017 , as the album 's second official single . The music video for `` Talking to Myself '' was released on July 20 , 2017 , the same day that band member Chester Bennington died . In early 2017 , the band introduced Linkin Park Global Ambassadors , which were selected each for a country . The ambassadors would promote the Linkin Park updates in their respective countries . The Ambassadors were also given various tasks respective to the updates . For promotional purposes , a picture of TV color bars was uploaded to the Instagram by the Linkin Park Global Ambassadors and many other people related to the band such as Joe Hahn , Mike Shinoda , Chester Bennington , Phoenix , Lorenzo Errico , Adam Ruehmer , Jim Digby , Christian Tachiera , Tobias Fance , Frank Maddocks , Tal Cooperman , and Warner Bros. Records ' official account . The band also released a series of 8 videos on their official website showing fans their process of creating songs for the album . On February 13 , Linkin Park tweeted a blank grid , and each of the Linkin Park Global Ambassadors tweeted a numbered image . When put together , the images formed the album cover . The lyrics of `` Heavy '' were unveiled on Genius on the same day . Linkin Park did a stripped - down performance with Kiiara at NRG Studios , which was broadcast live on Facebook the same day `` Heavy '' was released along with its lyric video and the album pre-order . The stripped - down version of the song was performed on various occasions . Shinoda and Bennington played the song fourteen times at different venues for the promotion . The band played the song on The Late Late Show with James Corden and at the ECHO Awards 2017 with Kiiara . Acoustic performances of the lead single by Chester Bennington and Mike Shinoda helped promote One More Light . A few of them included performances with Kiiara , Waxx , and Sofia Karlberg . The band were set to embark on a world tour in the promotion of the album , which began in South America in May 2017 . The tour included stops at various festivals , including the Download Festival Paris , Aerodrome Festival , NovaRock , Impact Festival , I - Days Milano , Hellfest , Download Festival Madrid , Hurricane Festival , Southside Festival , Telekom VOLT Fesztivál , Bråvalla Festival , Rock Werchter , and many others . The tour visited 20 cities in the South America and Europe . The North American part of the tour was cancelled following Chester Bennington 's death on July 20 , 2017 . Reception ( edit ) Critical reception ( edit ) Professional ratings Aggregate scores Source Rating AnyDecentMusic ? 4.0 / 10 Metacritic 46 / 100 Review scores Source Rating AllMusic Classic Rock Magazine Consequence of Sound D+ London Evening Standard Newsday B+ NME Rock Sound 6 / 10 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 . 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 weak and contrived commercial move ( perhaps to compete with the likes of Twenty One Pilots ) . '' Neil Z . Yeung of AllMusic agreed , stating that `` The issue is n'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 . '' 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 . '' Troy L. Smith at The Plain Dealer described `` Invisible '' and `` Nobody Can Save Me '' as `` well - rounded pop songs , '' but also noting `` That wo n'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 ca n't save `` Sorry for Now '' from corny territory . '' 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 . '' Band response ( edit ) 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 . Similarly , in a separate interview with Kerrang , Bennington , in response to claims of selling out with the album , said `` If you 're gon na 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 . '' 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 . '' 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 . ' '' 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 that 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 . '' Bennington later responded that he agreed with Taylor 's statements , saying : `` ... 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 . '' Track listing ( edit ) One More Light No .
