Who said there were 12, anyway? I didn't.

Could mean we have more or less than 12 tracks . .

 

Thoughts?

GODDAMN IT I WANTED TO POST THIS

 

Hopefully that means more. Song lengths aside, less than 12 is not enough for an album.

Could also mean another joke from Mike because we "ruined" somehow the surprise.

I don't know how people come to the conclusion that Mike has all these ulterior motives to fool people.

 

And the official review said that they were informed by someone that there were 6 other songs that were more guitar driven. That means that 1. that's just what somebody told them 2. They didn't say "hard rock", fans just took "guitar driven" and assumed thats what it meant and 3. Mike said that it's more plausible that they'd have 10 songs. LP's albums are as long as they are because they want to make sure that there's no way you'll get bored.

 

 

edit: but since someone DID tell them that there were 6 others, I wouldn't be surprised. Mike does lie.

Back in June, Mark posted some info about the album on his Facebook.

 

He said "13 tracks. September 14th." He said he got it from the original gif but he never told us how.

 

Well, he got the date right. Maybe there's 13.

[NuttStock]

My bet is that there will be less than 12 songs on the album, since Mike said that the length of the songs will be longer but there may be less of them...

[MONDREUS240]

Mike is F*ckin with our heads man.

[linkinpark-64]

Mike is just playing with us, and as Nameless said this review kinda ruined the surprise. Plus, the review said they have listened to about the half of the album. If ATS is a 10 songs album 6 is almost the half...

haha go mike

 

I dont mind less tracks, but that'll mean less chance of an instrumental. I'll be dissopointed if there isn't one this time. Its tradition!

[leftshoe18]

didn't Mark post September 24?

If I remember correctly, Mark said September 14.

 

The German Amazon site said September 24.

[RiderSSPU]

i hope there is more than 12 songs. I hope there will be some more heavy stuff. anyways. can't wait for the album

[leftshoe18]

Confirmed 15 songs! Oh yeah!

[Jay_Sensei]

hmm, i guess this post did have some importance huh?

now I'm thinking 13-full length and 2 instrumentals. The Requiem and The Messenger?

I'm thinking that The Requiem will only be like 20 seconds long, because Mike said there are tracks that are 20 seconds long on the album. It's probably just an intro to The Radiance, much like Foreword on Meteora is to Don't Stay. Everyone is assuming that Robot Boy is an instrumental but I don't think it will be.

This, I remember when Mike was hyping up Robot Boy very early during the year I think, saying it was the song that everyone really liked so far. I doubt that it'd be an instrumental when it was the highest rated song for the band

it's definitely not an instrumental. Mike claimed that robot boy was a demo a long time ago and had rapping on it. There's no way they changed it into a instrumental.

Where did it say it had rapping on it? I don't remember reading that.
