Numbrocker

The same reason there are people talking about how awesome it sounds. Not everyone will be happy.

I think the world would implode if LP fans were all happy with something.

6 More days and then we can really judge this song. It's quite hard to do with a 30sec clip from a 5+ min song.

Personally I love that LP is taking a new direction. Adam's posts have me even more excited!

6 MORE DAYS!!!!!!!!!

Because you totally have the authority to classify Linkin Park as a "rock band," and what you think has more bearing than what they want to be.

 

I can't wait until this album leaks, I hope to god a bunch of people like you slip up and ask for download links. This place could really use some weeding out.

Ehh, to be honest I like Chester's affected vocals a hell of a lot better than Mike's. The song is really beat and sample driven. Not to say that it can't be a good song, but LP's greats have always been supported by heavy sounds and climatic bridges and final choruses. I'm not at all against what they may be doing with this new album, cause lets face it none of us have a fucking clue of what its going to sound like. Individual tracks, a 10 and 30 second preview have no baring on the album itself. Hell, it doesn't even do the unheard lead single justice. If the one of the last 4 tracks on MTM had previews of them leak before any other tracks I guarantee people would be making the same wrong assumptions about the album. What I've Done may have summed up the directions the band had taken that led them towards MTM, but it in no way summed up the creative sound of the entire album, which is exactly why The Catalyst is just 1 of 15 songs and in no way describes ATS as a whole.

Best comments in this thread.

Did he have a source to back it up? Would be very interesting to see..

 

Back on topic, I really like what I'm hearing surprisingly, Mike doesn't sound as funky as he did before either ha. Can't wait to hear the full song

I can't remember, but he said it was from an LP site. But I hadn't seen it so I told him it wasn't true.

As to the song. Brad might be hear, but I think it sounds fine without him. And you KNOW he'll be in every other song. (except maybe Joe's instrumental)

Well the thing that's getting me is that its not a lpa member saying that, he's from the lpa head honcho, and it didn't seem like it'd be sarcastic.

You know someone texted me about hearing it comes out on July 27 (which it is the 27th in some countries now). I told him it was nonsense since I hadn't heard it, but now.... I don't know.

I love it!! Gonna be my new ringtone!! 7 days is too long for this. I'm gonna be on my computer all day waiting for the mp3 download. And welcome back Mr. Hahn!!!

A link to the iTunes one would be nice. I can't find it.

I don't know how credible IMDB is, but it would make my week to see Chester try to mug someone and Mike drive a taxi. Any idea what this movie is supposed to be about? I can't find anymore info on it.

Nice. Though this will probably need to be repeated once Catalyst comes out. A lot of people come here just on those days, so they'll miss this warning.

A friend of mine showed me this and I freaked out a bit.

I think I might actually die of laughing if Chester mugs Mike.

I feel a bit stupid because that really should've answered everything, but I still have a question.

Does the Catalyst come in an MP3 form if you order this or do you get an actually CD?

Hi,

I have some very exciting news for you. Today, you can finally pre-order for our album, A Thousand Suns, on linkinpark.com.

The album comes in two forms: a CD/DVD package, or super-mega-amazing box set (which contains a CD, DVD, vinyl, a book, and other magical stuff).

There is also a limited-edition, custom skate deck autographed by the band, and a brand new album art t-shirt. The digital version of the album is included FREE with all purchases. We'll email you the album first, before anyone else. And if you decide to buy all of the stuff I've just mentioned, you'll even get a discount.

One other major perk of buying from linkinpark.com: you also get early access to purchase tickets for our US tour (which is coming soon).

I can't wait for you guys to hear this album. We've put all our energy into it, taken risks, and crafted something we believe is truly special.

Click here to pre-order A Thousand Suns.

-Mike

SO EXCITED FOR THE US TOUR!!!!! However not so happy about LP doing the presale tickets like this. LPU is losing more and more.

Out of Ashes

Thanks for posting. My computer is being a pain and won't let me see this on the site. :S

I think we're all a bit surprised by the album art. Give it a day to sink in.

At this point I'm so hyped about the cd they could've put an elephant on the cover and I wouldn't care.

And that's the way it should be. We just need to wait patiently and not ruin the surprise..

If LP has taught me one thing, it's patience.

Well it is that pic. That "fake" pic is whats behind all the pixels. But that isn't what the final thing is going to be, it was put there to stop people from finding the real thing early.

Oh. That was smart of them. However now we NO idea of what this'll look like.

If you're talking about that blocky black and white picture, Adam confirmed that "isn't" it.

 

It clearly is the hidden pic, but the pic is going to change after all the pixels are filled in.

I know. But its just weird that it sort of looks like it. Maybe I'm just seeing what I wanna see. I wish people would tweet and get this thing shown already!

The pic is looking more and more like that "fake" pic that was going around.

Am I the only one who feels special? I took a screenshot of my name and everything. I'm so weird.

You are not alone.

Too bad that we only get one pixel. My poor followers though. I keep tweeting to hear the snippet and see the pic.

Here's a pic of it.

Holy Crap I'm excited!!! Guitar solo, Mike and Chester singing, more Mike rapping, LONG SONGS!!! I can't wait for this album!! Might skip class that day to listen to it!

57 days to A Thousand Suns and 14 Days to Catalyst!!!

you see something like this too?

 

Hmm this is getting interesting. You guys are amazing for seeing all this stuff. I just thought it looked like a cool cover.

Dunno if I like the idea of no text being on the cover. :S

Wait wait wait!!! We can do original stuff?????

I thought we couldn't do any of that. :S This is a bit confusing.

Great mix by my friend, russian style. http://www.ivanromanov.ru/download/music/l...t_draft_mix.mp3

This is the best one I've heard. (downloaded it!) It sucks that you can't enter it. I would've voted for it.

ok well ive heard the song enough...even if the layers are all messed up...off to bed...hopefully a better version will be on tomorrow

Ditto. It's 3am my time. I hope someone can figure out the Chester thing. He sounds amazing even with all that distortion and I can't wait to hear it acapella!

That rip doesn't do Chester justice. I guess someone must've used their phone. This site sucks though. When Mike wakes up I'm sure he'll do something about it.

Dang it. It didn't have Chester. If someone could tell me how to rip mp3 I'd do it for you! I want people to hear Chester not Mike!!!
