If the interludes were not their own tracks, but tacked on to the other songs (like Empty Spaces was part of WTCFM/BITS, Fallout was part of The Catalyst, etc.), would you still feel the same way?

If Chester was screaming over them and Mike was rapping over them, would you like them more?

Good one.

Well, "Burn it Down" doesn't sound like a typical Linkin Park song title but the release date sounds legit. I'm so looking forward to hearing their new stuff. The recent interviews got me very excited.

but that didn't happen.. so..

ok, two sources - i concede, this is starting to become quite legit.

awaits radio promo disc prices on ebay to go astronomical on this

Fake Video.....

i hate this sort of thing so much...
are people that desperate to get views?

That news is sick. Adds up hope for new album's release early summer.

Anyway, I don't like the title that much. It sounds energetic and kinda non-generic for Linkin Park, but I fear new record will get too distant from melodic-style tracks like Burning In The Skies, Iridescent, Little Things Give You Away or Robot Boy.
But if it's close to Wretches And Kings I won't protest though. Just, please, let it not be another Hybrid Theory. X_X

EDIT: Triple A's release date note for Regina Spektor's (a russian-born american singer) new single got recently pushed from March 26th to April 23. That may mean that "Burn It Down" release date may also be not that final.

I would feel the same way, because it would be like an annpoying little part to the end (or beginning) of a song. I dislike them completely and wish they weren't there.


It sounds generic to LP because it's another three word single title lol. but i love the title name

The chorus lines:

I wanna burn it down
The entire world
I wanna feel the heat
I wanna burn it down

*look of disbelief*

I'm excited and I still predict the album to be released early June

we're trying to get this confirmed tonight.

we will have some more in two weeks, besides the single release.

very generic song title, and unlike what someone said that it doesn't sound very lp'ish, it actually does. Bleed it out is very close.
But 'what's in a name' so can't wait for it. If its fake... i won't be surprised either way.

I'm back fron a long time !!!


In my opinion this news are very legit. All the news were based on April.
The band was talking about the new music will be released very soon, so why not the World Premiere can't be on April 16 ?
But the Single Release will be in May is my bet.

You guys checked LPA? Seems almost 100% confirmed.

I want to back dirty Shinoda lol

I don't go on LPA unless thers new interviews out but I will check it out

Hey now, no need to throw stones at other fansites. Why can't we all just get along, yeah?

besides LPL has had a shit-ton of exclusives, there's no need to defend this site or argue its merits.

Conversation from LPA: posted by general- The fact people think it is fake is just funny. There has never been any fake information posted on Mediabase before. It is what we use at radio and I can indeed confirm that my station was notified about this yesterday afternoon before the PD left the office. Point being, mediabase never posts any fake info. It is directly supplied from the label. Now they date can certainly be pushed back, but this isn't a rumor or anything and as of yesterday April 16th was a done deal.

Posted by Derek- General works for a radio station. He helped us back during MTM with confirming some things. We can consider this baby all but official (although I never doubted it).

All that's left is for the band members to *confirm* it.


YES! I never doubted it and looks to be 100% legit!

Sorry to break the 69 comment mark guys I am going to believe this, I don't know much about the sites that confirmed it but my friend sent me the link to the site a few days before it was posted here. Radio stations usually don't display false info unless it's a typo so I'm going to be optimistic and say it's legit

DANG! GUYS! IT'S LEGIT!

This is a good time for me to end my 6 month absence of not posting. There's been some big news the last couple weeks but this is the biggest.

Perhaps Burn It Down will be the secret sequel to Burning In the Skies . With two sources backing this up, I don't see any reason to doubt this. This news fits together with some of the other things going on such as the recent video shoot.

It's a fairly vague name though. It doesn't really say what the song will be about or what it will sound like.

If the single really does end up coming out April 16, then it has huge implications for the album release date. What I've Done was released a little more than a month before M2M. The Catalyst was also released a little more than a month before ATS. If this ends up happening, then I have to think this album isn't coming out any later than June. And that means that Rolling Stone and a couple other sites which have pointed towards Fall/November are wrong.

does anyone know a website media4u ? because i can't find it and someone told me there is snippet from the track. It might be fake/troll but i guess worth trying

probably fake

In the words of RayWilliamJohnson, "Fake and (oh wait, i'm not allowed to say that word on this site)."

good thing i caught myself this time!

hell yes

now we wait

Great news. It's certainly a promising thing - with LP seemingly always talking about their wishes to release material quicker/sooner, to finally get to a point where the track is essentially confirmed for April 16th is promising for any more future material from LP. Perhaps they can stick to their plans!

I thought I'd lose all my excitement for new LP music after the dissapointment I had with ATS. But you can't forget your first love they say, and damn it's true. XD So here I am checking LPlive every day again.

I consider this to be very true, judging from other rumors in the past pre-album periods, this one seems legit. So..waiting for snippets!

I just got a troll idea and this is the reason why posted the chorus lyrics. I hope nobody took it seriously.

You actually forgot to fit in the word "lies"

lol, we should have a bet on how many times that disgusting word will feature in the new album, i mean they are back on the relationship train so.. expect them all

Calling it now: QWERTY is the second single

useless contribution to discussion is useless

it was about as "lol" as this

Hey guys! Check the sources again! The song disappeared from the april 16 date.... I'm afraid that we started to get excited too soon... :S

Yeah, wow, both sources pulled it. What bullshit.

Unless LP/Warner got to them and were like "the fuck are you doing, stop that shit" or something.

Maybe Warner just hurried or try to create an intrigue.

Warner wanted it removed, just like the Linkubus tour. I still believe it.

I think someone at Warner just lost their job for leaking false information to a reliable source^^ Or someone at Warner just lost their job for leaking TRUE information to a reliable source. xD .. < It also makes sense....dammmn :-D

I love you!

"Burn It Down"? I guess we're back in Middle School.

I'm starting to think that this is not true. Might be a cover up, but shouldn't we have some sort of officially confirmation by now if it was legit? Especially when it's supposed to be out in 2-3 weeks?

like i said before: i wont be surprised either way. It does seem a bit sudden though, with catalyst we had all those tweets and puzzles and AMPLE warning with it being on the medal of honor trailer. So i never really believed that it would be on that date. The name might be legit though, you never know.

Maybe they're trying something different with this album. It's seeming to be the opposite of ATS in regards to each song (allegedly) being independent of one another, "heavier" guitars, and such. Wouldn't surprise me if they just sort of sprung a single on us without anyone being prepared, as opposed to building it up for months over the summer.

I think is could be true. The difference between this and ATS was the fact that all the songs on that album were part of one concept. THis "firecracker" record doesn't need as much hype as The Catalyst got IMO.

I'm a die hard ATS fan and I'm actually really nervous about this album. I don't want to see them take a step backward creatively

yes i believe it too!

Well, after exerting a hell of a lot of creative effort on ATS and seeing it be received almost worse than MTM, they might be wanting to re-evaluate their approach.

Though I sort of doubt that, and I think they just wanted to try something different. Again.

from LPA: LPHybrid Soldier- was listening to some rock radio station and someone an unknown source said that Warner confirmed april 16th

also as i posted before, General- Conversation from LPA: posted by general- The fact people think it is fake is just funny. There has never been any fake information posted on Mediabase before. It is what we use at radio and I can indeed confirm that my station was notified about this yesterday afternoon before the PD left the office. Point being, mediabase never posts any fake info.

All that's left is for the band members to *confirm* it.

So basically, Warner just didn't want us knowing about it yet! Basically, this is still true and i believe it is 100% true

Well, until I see something concrete I will not believe
