hahninator Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 Straight from the blog of Shinoda the Cobra Holder, "I've been making songs on my own at home or in the bus, but hadn't gotten to work with the other guys until this week. A few days ago, Joe, Phoenix and I were having some fun at Joe's, and started a couple things. Of the two songs we worked on, one was a heavier, fast-tempo song with heavy guitars and distorted sampled drums, and the other was a little less aggressive, but still dark and upbeat, and had a really interesting chord progression. Joe's got this new MIDI keyboard-turntable unit, where he can make his vinyl play tones that you hit on the keyboard, and we can scratch them in real time. It's pretty cool--I think there's a lot of potential for that thing. Anyway, more updates to come later. We're preparing for a more defined studio schedule in the coming weeks." A picture of Phoenix on bass from the session can be found here: http://media.sparkart.net/mikeshinoda/cont...oenixatWork.jpg Excellent news! Sounds like even though Chester is injured, the rest of the band is getting it together and is ready to write. Two songs being worked on? Great. Can't wait for more updates....

Mawloo Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 Haha, i knew they'll move on something heavier. After all critics they had on Minutes, they finally didn't have no more choice >D Looks like he is wearing a women's shirt.....haha...the silly guy. I thought the same thing xD or the "Sunday shirt" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daniel624 Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 working on 2 songs already.. nice job and waiting for more news! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AudioNick Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 Whoa. This sounds great. I can't wait for the album. Do you think they will do what they did with MTM and write a lot of songs and choose the top 12/13 or just write 12 solid songs and work on them?

Do you think they will do what they did with MTM and write a lot of songs and choose the top 12/13 or just write 12 solid songs and work on them? they will probs write like 15-20 songs. and put 12 on the album, have 3-5 left as demos and the rest will be incomplete. probs.

Daniel R. Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 Love the way they keep us up with new stories and how they're gettin on with the new album! No matter what it'll be like, it will own anyway! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fleur de Lys Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 Very very nice Sounds very interesting. But please don't say "I knew they would they'll move on to something heavier." It's two songs. Non of these songs are likely to end up on the record. I'm sure they won't change their direction from MtM. They said at the beginning of the MtM writing progress: "There definitily going to be a lot of screaming" and we get screaming on like three songs. It's nice with updates, but it's faaar to early to jump to conclusions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murphyLP Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 Maan that´s great news...working already on new tracks. And heavy ones that thing made my day!!! It´s great that mike will be updating us on things about the new album. Hope he continue posting like this!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pbizkit33 Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 This is wonderful news. Hopefully Mike will keep updates coming. I really want to hear what Joe can do with that new turntable. Would love to hear a Joe instrumental on this album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kruspe Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 (edited) This is wonderful news. Hopefully Mike will keep updates coming. I really want to hear what Joe can do with that new turntable. Would love to hear a Joe instrumental on this album. Yeah, but one like Cure for the itch (from 0:54), and Session. Those are really dreamy tracks, which I love.. It's a bit like the background on the verses on By Myself. I adore that too.. Edited October 26, 2008 by Kruspe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gtrnowak4tkd Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 one was a heavier, fast-tempo song with heavy guitars and distorted sampled drums, and the other was a little less aggressive, but still dark and upbeat, and had a really interesting chord progression Excellent maybe this album will be more on the metal side. That would be sweet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revolution1985 Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 this is awesome to hear that the guys are doing some work even though Chester is not around. i have a feeling this album is gonna be their best yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AusNeil Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 this is awesome to hear that the guys are doing some work even though Chester is not around. i have a feeling this album is gonna be their best yet course it is. well. it will be like as good at HT cause bands 2nd albums are normally ok but not as good as 1st, 3rd drops and 4th picks up alot. 5th is either very good or pointless.

Mawloo Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 Even if Chester's not around they'd always worked by 2 guys or 1 or 3 or the whole band or whatever. It depends. Chester is the "frontman" but it doesn't mean that he decides for all. The guys can work together with or without Chester. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geki Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 Awesome news!!! I can't wait for more studio stories, hopefully even some LPTV. I think this album will be their best yet, I have a strong feeling oddly. And that's awesome about the heavier type shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
