That's a good idea but it just wouldn't work. Radio hit collabs are generally a man and woman or a man and a man with an accented voice. Two solid rappers just won't sell the amount that it'd cost to make it.

I've never read this before. This is a really good article!

That's sad... I think "Too Late" is about drug withdrawals.

This will be interesting. I'm excited to hear it.

1) You sound bitter and it appears as if you joined yesterday just to vent it out? Go to some other site and do that. 2) A lot of these kids are younger and haven't had a chance to mature. It doesn't make anyone immature because they are at a stage of intellectual development where they seek out instances of depth to reflect on the layers they see within the world. Take your drama elsewhere, kthx.

^^^ Good guess. SIB was kind of out there too. I just hope it's good.

You are misunderstanding what I'm saying. It's not that the song is just McDonald's dumpster writer's bloc scraps, it's that the song sucks when weighted as a first single. This is a horrible first single choice. If this had been some misc song on the album it would have been a lot better to me.

It really doesn't matter what intellectual level the song/album adds up to. If the song blows then it blows. At first I liked the song and it was growing on me. But now I'm really sick of it. It is repetitive and a total let down. Those who deny it are just trying really hard to be dedicated to the band. And that's cool, but the song is honestly junk. EDIT: This song will tank as far as sales go in comparison to their other hit/lead singles.

I agree with you Mark, but maybe chasing the casual fans will help build momentum for the album.

The more I listen to it the more I enjoy it. You can really start to feel the vibe.

Yeah, but what about the fans who bought the game SOLEY for the song. I mean, if we knew the song was not made ONLY for the game then maybe we would have waited.

Germany would be 9pm, I think. Germany is 6 hours ahead of the East Coast of US, 9 hours ahead of the West, where PST time is.

Or, you guys could just wait 24 hours and find out.

This should have been on the Mortal Kombat soundtrack.

I think Chester said that before, it never seems to work out that way though.

I honestly don't think we will hear anything, be it ESPN, MoH, or Pre-Order DL, until tomorrow at earliest.

Whaaa, omgz no way, stickers!!!

So if I added it correctly, those 6 tracks equal about 26-27 minutes. That means there are 9 tracks that take up only 19 minutes? According to that article, I forget which one, the album is set to be 45 minutes. How many actual songs will there be?

Yeah, we already knew this. I was discussing it with Mark last week...so I know for sure he already knew.

So far all I'm hearing is what sounds to be a "remix" -- though of course it isn't -- coming in at a length of 5:42. I hope I'm wrong.

Wow.. hmm, I'm definitely going to have to hear the whole thing.

This is just awesome. I love that it's lengthy, I love that it's different, I love that it's deep, I love that it's seemingly intellectual. I'm amazed so far. I'm thinking this is Iridescent, especially since the Sounds of A Thousand Suns had a clip of a band member saying "the way it gets loud." I think they were referring to that.

Has anyone seen this: http://www.amazon.com/The-Catalyst/dp/B003X3H09K/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=dmusic&qid=1279984069&sr=8-1 We'll probably see some official preview this week, right?

+1. I thought the MTM album cover was pretty bland. This one is kind of cool to me.

Understood, thanks for the reply!
