“LP Underground 7.0″ is identified as a live album, as all the tracks included in the album are live versions, and is longer than 25 minutes. All the tracks were recorded from various venues like Toronto, Hartfort, Syracuse, West Palm Beach, etc.

Dissatisfaction

This release was controversial, due to the fact that the entire track list was already available, for free, in the form of “Digital Souvenir Packages”. These official live tracks were soundboard patches of live shows, and Mike Shinoda had made it clear at the time that the shows could be shared online.Many fans were angry at the lack of exclusivity and felt that they were being ripped off by the LP Underground, and that the “Linkin Park Underground” no longer cared about its members. One distressed fan wrote:

“The CD is awful. Even if it was a real vote I would probably be dissatisfied, because I’m a picky LP fan and don’t want ANOTHER live CD full of singles. The shirt’s uninspiring, and the shoelaces are not the innovation we were looking for in the LPU 7 package.

Other issues at the time included a lack of customer service, no online exclusives, issues with Meet & Greets, and listless forums.
