How can you possibly KNOW that the song will be terrible? I think it's a really cool idea. We might get some sort of awesome guitar solo or something because of this!!

Someone should put the article back up since we now have official confirmation from Mike on his blog. http://mikeshinoda.com/2010/07/08/new-albu...t-september-14/

No offense guys...but I don't like either cover posted in here. I'm not saying that I could do better (I know I can't), but they just look...odd.

Yeah, I'll do this for Meteora and Minutes to Midnight. By the time those 2 are done, A Thousand Suns should be out so we can continue with that. If it's not out when these 3 elections are over, we could do a Hybrid Theory EP or B-Sides election or do a mega-election with the top 3 from each of the studio album elections. There's lots of ways we could do this. Anyway, here's an update: (not the final for the round) One Step Closer 5 With You 2 Papercut 2 A Place for My Head 1 Points of Authority 2 Forgotten 3 Pushing Me Away 5 There have been a ton of votes this round! I'll probably tally up the final in about 4 hours. Keep voting! Edit: I guess we're gonna need to have a tiebreaker round. You can vote for either One Step Closer or Pushing Me Away.

they'll probably include any remixes as bonus tracks. it would be cool to win that contest

I think it'd be pretty cool if Joe added some scratching to the songs that don't have any. It's always cool to hear changes to songs and I'd love to hear me some Minutes to Midnight with scratching.

I think I've gotta vote for With You as hard as that is to stomach.

And the results of this round: Crawling 4 One Step Closer 3 Forgotten 1 Pushing Me Away 1 Points of Authority 1 Crawling is gone...finally! The remaining songs are: 1. Papercut 2. One Step Closer 3. With You 4. Points of Authority 9. A Place for My Head 10. Forgotten 12. Pushing Me Away

I like the idea of having an encore with a song from each album. They should definitely do that. But I also agree that you can't have One Step Closer followed by Bleed it Out to end a show. That's just blasphemous.

I know he layers his voice and crap. He's improved as a singer since 2004 though. I think that since Chester got the majority of the lead vocals on the last album, maybe Mike should get his fair share this time. Though, Chester didn't have nearly as much a hand in the instrumentation of Minutes to Midnight where Mike played all sorts of instruments. I guess it is fair in that respect. I just wanna hear me some more Shinoda vocals!!

They've probably got stuff lying around from Meteora. They could probably put together a full album of b-sides by now. I'm sure High Voltage wasn't the only song they recorded for Hybrid Theory that didn't make the album either. There are also at least 4 b-sides for Minutes to Midnight to throw into consideration. And then, there's even the unused Transformers songs that they started before deciding on New Divide.

There will always be exceptions, of course. But, I believe, most people who pay that much for an item wouldn't want to diminish the value of that item even if it is to benefit the fan-base at large. And again, a big thank you for She Couldn't. It's always cool to hear unheard stuff from your favorite bands.

Well one has 2 slashes and the other has 3 slashes. 2 divided by 3 is .666 which is very similar to 666. And yes, I know that 2 divided by 3 is .66666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666... but that's not the point. The point is LP are satanic and their satanic practices are holding up the new album.

I really like the Minutes to Midnight era logo. If they keep it, I'll be fine. They don't need a new logo for every album.

I would love to see Chester take the backseat for this whole album. Mike can do lead vocals on 80 percent of the album (singing and rapping), while Chester does backup singing and some screaming. I'm a Mike fan, what can I say? Oh yeah, and I want another really cool instrumental like Session.

It would be cool if they released a handful of b-sides on the deluxe edition of the album...similar to what they did with No Roads Left on Minutes to Midnight. But, you know, with more than just one.

If I wasn't at the Library right now, I could unscramble the image. The dang comp doesn't even have paint!!

or somewhere in between lol

Here are the results of the now-completed round: Forgotten 2 In the End 3 Crawling 2 Pushing Me Away 1 In the End is gone and here are the remaining songs: 1. Papercut 2. One Step Closer 3. With You 4. Points of Authority 5. Crawling 9. A Place for My Head 10. Forgotten 12. Pushing Me Away My vote goes for Crawling again.

I want Mike to do some rapping and some singing.

If it sells for an amount that massive, I wouldn't expect it to be shared.

I think that they feel like it's a nice amount to have on the album...or it's just a coincidence that they decided to keep that many that they thought were good enough for the album.

Crawling.

In the End 1 Runaway 6 With You 1 Forgotten 2 Crawling 2 The results are in and Runaway is done. The remaining songs are: 1. Papercut 2. One Step Closer 3. With You 4. Points of Authority 5. Crawling 8. In the End 9. A Place for My Head 10. Forgotten 12. Pushing Me Away

There should be something on there about the first single coming August 2.
