Elaine Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 (edited) Not really news, but more of a tease. From Mike's twitter: "2012. http://instagr.am/p/f1Aid/" The image links to: *Starts making theories relating to "The"* Possibilities: 1) Part of the tracklist, lyrics, or album title? 2) Mikerolling. 3) LP's schedule for 2012.

shadowofthehabit92 Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 Well, this has triggered my anticipation into full gear! Though so little, it seems like it tells so much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geki Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 It could be a song title...or it could be a sign that the new album is coming out this year...or it could be Mike just teasing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiiesel Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 (edited) I guess that L.P. 2012 means "Long player 2012" aka new album in 2012 Because if it should mean Linkin Park he wouldn't add that points after L and P L.P.

Xero21 Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 3) LP's schedule for 2012. This seems to be the answer, because Adam just tweeted a similar picture. http://instagr.am/p/gBN6M/ "LP Team Summit, round 2." So basically the LP team has been getting together and planning out the year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twiilite Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 I'm gonna say the same thing I said on the LPA: Phoenix is gonna show up to the LPU chat tomorrow, hold up the piece of paper, smile, and then leave. Calling it right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geki Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 I still think mid 2013 for the album...despite what everyone is saying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lgr Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 yeah I really don't see any reason to think that the record'll be out this year. IF as it's being claimed they've finished a bunch of songs, there's still mixing, mastering, plus the huge amount of work that goes into promotion, album production, not to mention the time and effort that goes into the album art now... I know that this doesn't take YEARS to do, but still, I don't think the band would rush an album through just for a couple of festival dates. They've done summer festivals without new material before, and I reckon RaR/RiP will be similar. It seems so unlikely that they'd finish the ATS tour and be so keen to suddenly get back into another huge touring cycle. I think here at LPL we tend to overlook the fact that the band has got family as a priority too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bliss Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 I still think mid 2013 for the album...despite what everyone is saying.In the Pheonix chat today, he said they’ve written upwards 40 to 50, but working on maybe 15 to 20 also he said a new single might come sooner than you expect i was going with 2012 and i still am now for when in 2012 idk but i hope summer sometime Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FearOfTheDuck Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 If the album does come out in 2012, it's going to be late 2012. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LP releases music insanely slow, 4 albums in a period of 12 years? thats extremely slow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexbism Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 LP releases music insanely slow, 4 albums in a period of 12 years? thats extremely slowI think it's reasonable , artists that releae an album every 1 and a half year have got lot of crappy tracks on their records 'cuz they finally have a lack of inspiration for only focussing on the deadline .

I really agree with this, I'd rather wait for an album that's brilliant than being immediately fed an album that was just a bunch of ok-sounding b-sides from the first...

Geki Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 I actually am kind of pissed off that the new LP album could very well be coming out this year. I like when bands take their time with albums, because the album is usually very solid and strong and full of amazing songs. If a band rushes album every year or two, then usually a lot of tracks suck and it feels rushed. Look at MTM for example. That album took 4 years to come out after Meteora was released and every single song (including b-sides and demos and seeds) all were AMAZING from it.
