hahninator Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 From the blog of the Chief (Mike), "We're working on the new Linkin Park album right now. Will we have a new album out in 2009? Absolutely! And, of course, by "Absolutely," I mean, "Absolutely, as long as things go smoothly and the ideas are flowing, and we don't hit any scheduling problems or massive writers block." Jokes aside, the pic below is from my studio; Chester and I were listening to all the demos I've been writing in the past 6-12 months in busses, studios overseas, and my studio. When we're out on the road doing shows, I generally keep the music on a safe hard drive, in a format that you can't download onto your iPod (gotta be careful). I also don't like playing stuff for anyone unless I feel like I've given it a proper amount of love. That means I go for months where I write stuff and don't really play it for anyone. This week, we went through about 35 new demos, most of which had only had my hands on them thus far. The process is a little scary; it's like saying, "here are the songs that I think should make up our next album." Luckily, nobody hates the songs (at least most of them!), and we're looking forward to getting started on this album in the coming months. I just did an insightful interview with a gentleman named Mikael Wood for a piece in an upcoming issue of Revolver magazine. Check for it in the coming months, I think it was an '09 music preview article." Full article and the picture. Thoughts?

He only shows stuff he likes. What about the rest? there is a lack of balance, Mr Shinoda. Everyone has his own tastes.

LPPRJKT4 Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 HELL YESSS!!!!!!! DBS IN 09, Julien-K in 09, and the next LP studio album in 09!!!!!! This will be a great fucking year!!! Hmm does anyone else get the feeling that they will debut some demos live before the album comes out after Mike said "I don't feel like playing songs for anyone unless I've given them enough love?" Mayb they can pull a WID/Numb and release a single before the album comes out.

One Step Closer, Somewhere I Belong and What I've Done were all lead singles. By the way, why did you mention Numb? I though Numb was released long after the album, or am I wrong?

Daniel R. Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 2 things I have to mention : First of all, I can't wait until next year now after hearing they're planning to release their new record in that period of time and last but not least, I'm glad to see Chester obviously fully recovered!

One Step Closer, Somewhere I Belong and What I've Done were all lead singles. By the way, why did you mention Numb? I though Numb was released long after the album, or am I wrong? You're right. Numb was the third single of Meteora and was released fall 2003. The album and real lead single was released Spring 2003 and yes, Somewhere I Belong, which is the songs name, did come out before the album. Every band does it to promote their album and boost sales.
