I don't mind them. I think "The Catalyst" should, if a the title of the album or single be just called "Catalyst". As for "A Thousand Suns" - I have no idea, just have to wait and see.
I think everyone is getting all a little hyped up and too excited for my liking. I think people just need to settle down and take everything, including the whole "Mike's Message" and the album/single release date with a pinch of salt and just wait and see what happens.
I genuinely can't be bothered to read through 200+ posts in this thread, most of which are most likely to be spam. However, is it me or is linkinpark.com and linkinpark.com/message not working anymore?
