Really hoping someone rips this. The radio station carrying Loveline in my area was bought out. I've been forced to listen to the shortened podcasts.

Yes, seriously. XD Good lord I didn't say he was delaying the thing another year or two. It was more of a shot at the fact that everyone claims DBS has been holding up the album before now, but this tour is actually a circumstance where Chester is in fact away from the band in the middle of what seems to be deep into the recording process (working on the "batches of songs" that LP knows they like.)

I'd say that if there was ever a time DBS was holding up the new LP album, it's right now.

Awesome that they played Into You finally. As for Give Me Your Name, I don't know that they'll play it. It just seems like a song that is dedicated to his wife, and not really something he'd perform live to a bunch of fans.

I hadn't seen it there either.

Did they take the video down?

Knowing LP, they are never ones to limit themselves like that, to feel like a song HAS to have guitar and drums in it. Electronica is making a big comeback recently, and as I'm a pretty big fan, this is great for me. but there is a basic sound to LP that I'm sure won't be lost with the new album.

LP's weakest point is without a doubt lyrics, I'll be with you on that one, save for the occasional exception. And as we can see in the post above me, they rewrote the song in a very quick amount of time, so there you go. Though Mike's quotes about how it was a scrapped demo still don't confirm whether or not that means Not Alone was a MtM b-side or a 4th Album demo. I think it was a 4th album demo, as Mike probably would have said it was a b-side if it was.

Musically though, I think it falls right in line with what little description the band has given us thus-far of the new album. More beat-driven, drum machine/keyboard-feel. Right on with this song.

Facebook confirms Mike is rescheduled for tomorrow.

While this song is more "poppy" than Hybrid Theory or Meteora, I wouldn't say it's a pop song at all. This is electronica/alternative. Which generally is softer music. And I'm pretty sure that's how the new album is going to be too. Which for me is probably the best thing ever. I love synthy music.

It's gotta be an entirely new song, not a b-side. The lyrics are clearly about people who have been through some sort of disaster, and with the whole electronic loop/keyboard feel of the music, there's no doubt in my mind this is a song that was made recently.

Mwahahaha. Told you peoples.

This song is fantastic. Not sure what else to say.

I know this may not be directly LP related, but with Phoenix's tweet to John Mayer mentioning contributing a song for Haiti relief, maybe this could give us an idea about what he meant. http://www.hiphopdx.com/index/news/id.1045...-u2-kosha-dillz So for those thinking LP might just throw The Little Things Give You Away (which was written about a completely different event ) on some compilation album, I don't know, but it seems like artists are coming together to do something new in response to the disaster.

vicje66: @phoenixlp new song soon??? phoenixlp: Sooner than you could imagine! Think Tuesday... Normally Phoenix just screws around on Twitter but maybe the game will come out tomorrow? I wouldn't get my hopes up but thought it might be worth mentioning.

If they're waiting for the right time, they missed it. The DBS album was out in October. Those who are buying it, have more than likely gotten it. There's about to be a ton of Linkin Park promo and touring done, so when are they going to start promoting Dead By Sunrise? 2 years after the album is out? Whoever was in charge of promoting DBS dropped the ball HARD.

I'm going with New Divide. Personally I don't like Across The Line. Lyrics are eh, very pop sound too. Though as far as the pop goes New Divide isn't much better.

Yep. I was about to post this myself. Mike always said mikeshinoda.com and linkinpark.com were both going to be redone so that must be it.

Also, one of the harmonies in Into You is really high too. On the word "fall."

Awesome news that we'll be getting Killing Fields. I really like Julien-K. I hope they continue working on that new music and put out a new album soon.

While I want to say the new song will be a MtM b-side, part of me is starting to feel like it might be the lead single off the album. o.O Only reason I say this is because recently I've noticed singles coming out way in advance of albums being released. Also that thing iTunes has been doing where like 5 singles get released in succession leading up to the album release. I dunno, singles have just become a completely different game lately because of the popularity of online music sources and the decline of radio and music video stations. Something to think about maybe. Or not. /random thought.

I dunno that I'd be THAT harsh but Chester isn't leaving LP. The people who are thinking that just aren't seeing the big picture. Option A: A band you've been in for a decade, has had huge success, TONS of fans, a unique sound, able to put on HUGE shows anywhere in the world. Option B: Small new band, very little interest, typical "garage band" rock sound, opening for Paramore. Yeah. LP isn't going anywhere.

Also, how does Morning After have any traces of nu-metal in it..?

I don't have a link but Chester has said plenty of times that he dislikes One Step Closer. One quote I remember, went something like "you listen to a beautiful song like Crawling, and compare it to a song like One Step Closer..." he said it in like a "One Step Closer is just a silly 'rock out' song" way. He definitely doesn't consider it among the band's best work at the very least.
