Found this today:

As they head into 2009, LINKIN PARK are hoping the year will produce a new album. But frontman MIKE SHINODA says they want it to be more than a basic record. He explains, somewhat cryptically, "the goal is to do something bigger than just a record, not just release it as an album but release it as an album and some."

Thoughts? It's a concept album, but what else? A TV series? A two-part album? A remix album and a regular album combined? An interactive album? Any other ideas?

Edit: A user submitted this from LPZion.org:

"This is the most interesting part of the interview from polish Teraz Rock magazine. Article is called "Linkin Park - Pterodactyl's flight" and it's, interview, about new album. Here are the words of Joe Hahn:"
"It's a new audiovisual experience. We try to use new technology to be the leading player in what will become the music business. Get ready to interactive audiovisual project. This will be the culmination of everything you went through with video clips and so on. This will be happen in some kind of fantasy world." It is not known whether the multimedia project is a concept album which was announced by Chester Bennington."

I've now set it so that guests may read the entire forum. We'll see how this goes. I just thought I'd throw up a post alerting people to the change. I do realize some people like to lurk and that's fine.

Depending on whether or not this works out, I might adjust it so that you have to be registered to view downloads. I don't think I'll do that because we rarely host anything ourselves (outside of the concerts we release), and it won't affect our bandwidth.

Hopefully this encourages more guests/visitors who are not registered to actually register and become a part of the site. When I was browsing the Board Index that shows who is online, I realized there were quite a lot of guests and they were just reading the news. Now they are able to read the whole forum, so we'll see if it pleases anyone enough to register, heh. There are actually more guests than members that read the forum (there's usually more guests than members who are online), and that's definitely proven by the unique visitors per day we get.

Hi guys just a little reminder for Julien-K fans. Death To Analog will be released in the US and Canada first on Metropolis Records then the rest of the world... digital release 2.17.09.

And stay tuned, a couple of remixes of "Someday Soon" by Motor and Fu coming January 6th.

Someday Soon is one of my favorite songs from Julien-K so I hope this is going to be kick ass

your thoughts?

Hey guys, since the LP news is trickling in REALLY slow, I thought I'd post some goodies from the 2007-2008 touring cycle up here so you could check them out. If you have any to add, please post a comment!

Bleed It Out was extended for the first time ever at Rock am Ring 2007, when the band dragged the bridge out longer than usual. A video of that can be found HERE, and a bad quality video of the full song can be found HERE.

The first performance of Shadow Of The Day was at Auburn 2007, and you can watch that video (recorded by our friend JNudda from LPProjekt.com) HERE. The first performance of Hands Held High was at Mountain View 2007, and you can check that video out HERE.

At Projekt Revolution 2008, Mike added Hands Held High over the intro to Crawling and Chris came out. Check that out HERE. The band still went into the crowd during the touring cycle...HERE is Chester in your face from Mountain View 2007 and HERE is Mike tearin' it up A Place For My Head-style at St. Paul 2008.

Of course, HERE is Chester falling and breaking his wrist at Melbourne in 2007. HERE is the only time they played Runaway the entire touring cycle (2007 and 2008 combined), at Bamboozle 2007. What about Bleed It Out on Saturday Night Live? Yep, the greedy copyright-holders removed it from YouTube, but HERE is Timbaland's sick intro to Bleed It Out at the VMAs in 2007. That'd be a pretty sweet show opener, eh?

And don't forget Bradford Delson jumping and doing his little jig on the intro to Faint! That can be found HERE, HERE, HERE, and HERE. Nice! (All for you, Preston, haha). If you can find a better/full one, please let us know.

Lastly, the kick-ass outros from the cycle. Points Of Authority (frequently with a verse from There They Go) was by far was the best, HERE, but the No More Sorrow intro in both 2007, HERE, and 2008, HERE (w/Street Drum Corps), was great. What about the What I've Done intro, HERE (w/ some sweet commentary)? And the One Step Closer intros from 2007, HERE, and 2008, HERE (w/Street Drum Corps)? Cool, right?

Hope you enjoy these. Any others? Did any of you record a video that's pretty sweet that I missed? I also have to do LPPRJKT4 some justice, since he spent all that time uploading that compilation of a "MTM Cycle Best-Of" so check that out HERE.
