NickDuffy Posted July 8, 2011 Posted July 8, 2011 (edited) Am I the only person who is feeling that the 5th studio album will be put out very soon? Many people are like "give it 2 to 3 years", but I don't think it will take that long. Here are my reasons why: - Four singles have been released from A Thousand Suns already in the course of 10-11 months. This is the fastest that they have ever released that many singles. - This is the first time that they have been writing while on the road. This means that song ideas are coming faster, and progress is being made at a faster pace. - They already announced their goal with this album (to further polarize fans and write about more serious things). - They announced their producer very early on. I know the band likes to make their music as perfect as they can, and they like to take time with their work, but with these factors involved, I can see a new album coming out sooner than we think.

MONDREUS240 Posted July 9, 2011 Posted July 9, 2011 You never know how long their writing process might take, but if they come up with a batch of GOOD songs, then yeah it can maybe come out late 2012, early 2013. Quote
avo17 Posted July 9, 2011 Posted July 9, 2011 I'm sensing late-2012 as the earliest possibility. Quote
Xero21 Posted July 9, 2011 Posted July 9, 2011 I'm sensing late-2012 as the earliest possibility. This is about right. They have from now until September to be in the studio on and off, then touring through the fall while still writing music but no real big recording sessions, the holidays in late December/early January, then early 2012 is when they'll probably really get into the studio to start recording and finishing what they have. Depending on how quick that goes, say it goes four - six months, then mixing, mastering, and promoting in the summer/early fall, it could be out Winter 2012. But basically anyone who was holding out hopes for a 2011 release will be rightfully disappointed. Quote

They did write on tour before. but i dont think they have gone this far with it before.. Like mike booked the studio for a while between the North american tour and the past tour. I think i said late 2012 a little while ago. Im sticking with that. Quote
NickDuffy Posted July 9, 2011 Author Posted July 9, 2011 It's weird. For me 2013 seems pretty late, although that's usually how long it takes them to release new stuff. I just think that their new album is going to be finished at a faster pace. I'm definitely feeling a mid-2012 release. I hope we get some new material from them soon. Quote
Sucre06 Posted July 9, 2011 Posted July 9, 2011 I think 2012 no doubt . I agree with the name of the topic. Quote
Geki Posted July 10, 2011 Posted July 10, 2011 It would be awesome for LP to release a new album in the spring of next year and do a Projekt Rev in the Summer. What....I can dream can't I? Realistically, I can see maybe a late 2012 release for the new album, or MAYBE even possibly early to mid 2013... Quote
RiderSSPU Posted July 10, 2011 Posted July 10, 2011 I overall prefer rock over rap but this is one aspect where rap is better, a lot of rappers release albums a lot quicker Nas>>>>>>> Quote
leftshoe18 Posted July 10, 2011 Posted July 10, 2011 I overall prefer rock over rap but this is one aspect where rap is better, a lot of rappers release albums a lot quicker Nas>>>>>>> It's typically because most rappers don't have to worry about making the music. That's all handled by producers (though some rappers are producers as well). Though there are plenty of bands capable of recording albums a lot faster than Linkin Park (Green Day's Dookie was recorded in a few days for example). LP is just slow. lol Quote

LP is just slow. lol Well with Dookie, Green Day had some of those songs written fully for a few years, they just had to play them in a studio. Linkin Park's process involves them writing and revising everything as its recorded, so it can take awhile. Also, as we know, they're huge perfectionists. Quote
colinreid Posted July 10, 2011 Posted July 10, 2011 I'm still sticking to my opinion for early 2013 Quote
Geki Posted July 12, 2011 Posted July 12, 2011 If the record doesn't come out before December of next year, nobody will ever hear the record. ... JK. Quote
GraDoN Posted July 12, 2011 Posted July 12, 2011 2012 to early 2013. Lets not kid ourselves and think it might be sooner They have a knack of always wanting to do a bit more pushing back the release date Quote
[High_Voltage] Posted July 12, 2011 Posted July 12, 2011 Well with Dookie, Green Day had some of those songs written fully for a few years, they just had to play them in a studio.

FearOfTheDuck Posted July 12, 2011 Posted July 12, 2011 December 21st, 2012. It's going to be so awesome it will trigger the apocalypse. Quote
Pez Posted July 12, 2011 Posted July 12, 2011 December 21st, 2012. It's going to be so awesome it will trigger the apocalypse. As much as I dont want to wait this long. It would be fucking awesome! Quote
Qwerty18 Posted July 15, 2011 Posted July 15, 2011 Hum, I guess next record will be coming tomorrow, with the LP announcement " We wanted to make you the biggest surprise possible!". Then all LP fans will go f*cking crazy. And then it will appear the album contains only 1 track with Mike and Chester laughing....pure evil Quote

Qwerty18 Posted July 15, 2011 Posted July 15, 2011 I was actually being serious. Ahah! JK. On a more serious, note, my bet for next record, I'd say end of 2012, something like october or november. Quote
shadowofthehabit92 Posted July 15, 2011 Posted July 15, 2011 Yeah, I'm think towards the end of 2012-early2013. A positive way to look at it is ATS came out about 3 years and 4 months after MTM was released. If they release it on this time frame, it wouldn't be even 2 and a half years. The past two cds came out 3 years after the release of the previous one. This is a positive way to look at it Quote
