New Album Out in Q4 Of 2012? Options

[LPxDC]

So take this with a VERY VERY tiny grain of salt, and there is no real source but just throwing this out there. It's very left field of this particular station (the top 100) to be even posting about this but if the band are truly aiming to have the new album out this year, Q4 sounds about right.

LINKIN PARK have been in the studio and they're almost done with a new CD!

According to sources close to the band's label, WARNER BROTHERS MUSIC GROUP, the iconic band has about four more songs left to master before being 'mostly' finished' with a new CD for the label which should be released in the fourth quarter of 2012 - meaning close to Christmas.

Labels like Warner Brothers are into their first quarter now, which began before the holidays.

Additionally, the Warner Music group, which consists of REPRISE RECORDS as well as the WARNER label, are expecting new releases from GREEN DAY in 2012, and they're excited about the profile of one of their new artists - NEON HITCH - who is currently featured on ASS BACK HOME by the GYM CLASS HEROES.

My bet is May, maybe April.

Because everytime that Linkin Park played in Rock Am Ring they have a new album to play on the stage.

4 songs to end the album mixing sounds good to me. They need to do some promo stuff and all that kind of things.

Lets wait for official comments.

I think it would be cool to release the new album in Spring of 2013... kind of like they did with MTM in May of 2007. First single could come out in February/March/April and then the album could come out in May/June, that way they could do a summer Europe tour, as well as do a PR in the states, etc. Maybe after that, hit up Australia and Asia or something, maybe even South America or play in some places they have never played in before, such as Africa. It would be epic.... But I highly doubt that would happen.

the best way is:
april - 1st single
may - album then promo show
june/july (1st half) -. european festival
july (2nd half)/august - projekt revolution tghewn oppikkoppi festival (south africa)
september (2nd half)/october - Australia & Asia
november - 2/3 show in Middlwe East then south america (6/7 shows)
kroq almost acoustic christmas
------------------------------------------------
january - winter european tour
february/ march - north american tour (including more canadianbshows)

off-tour time:
september (1st half)
december (except for the kroq's day
