nono, the quotations indicates that there's some sort of theme to the video, because that's what Phoenix was discussing in his tweet. There was no indication as to how the single's going to be released or marketed.

it means at every concert they're going to release an airborne virus and kill the entire crowd no but seriously I dunno. It probably has something to do with the theme of the video. Maybe they kill everyone with the song in the video.

Remember when What I've Done was pretty much released on April Fools' Day? There are gonna be a lot of fake snippets going around on Sunday.

It sounds like generic MTV bumper music to me.

Ha. Class A troll, sir. Well played.

None of us are suggesting for you to post it because we don't want you or LPL to get harassed by Warner. That doesn't mean there aren't other ways to spread it around, however.

We all have inboxes, sir/ma'am.

Huh. That's pretty fishy. Hopefully we'll hear some sort of snippet soon.

What was that supposed to be? It just links to NME's video page. Oh. The other link. Hm.

That was unnecessarily rude. It's being rolled out to quite a few cinemas. Don't worry about having to wait too long to see it.

tl;dr The next album is electro-folk with every song featuring Phoenix singing the majority of the lyrics

Mike said that we'd need to hunt down snippets of the new song on LP.com soon, so I interpreted that as being similar to how The Catalyst was marketed last album cycle. Additionally, via fuckyeahlinkinpark and mikeshinodaclan.com: "But it looks like all that is changing. On Tuesday, MTV News was on the set of the video for “Burn It Down,” the first single from their (still-untitled) new album. So, yes, this is really happening, and yes, it’s happening soon, as LP’s Chester Bennington explained. “Well, we promised our fans that we’d put out records faster, and that’s what we’re doing. We figured out a way to condense our cycle, so to speak, by … continuing to write, trying to keep the creative ball rolling as often as possible,” he said. “We wrote some of the stuff on the road during the last tour, and instead of … touring for two years, we toured for about a year, we came home, jumped right back into the studio and just worked our butts off to create this record. “And this album is a really great representation of where we’re at right now as a band,” Bennington continued. “We’re kind of really comfortable with our early nü-metal days, and we’re really comfortable with where we’re at in our more contemporary version of ourselves, so this is a good representation of that comfort level with our own identity as a band.” As for “Burn It Down,” well, Bennington said the band chose it as the first single mostly because it showcases everything they’re hoping to accomplish on the new disc: a combination of their crackling, crushing past and their ethereal, electro-tinged present. And while we can’t reveal any details about the “Burn” video just yet, we’ll let Bennington tell you all about the new song: “All of our songs take these really big creative turns and twists throughout the process, so sometimes songs will start out as a melody or some musical chord progressions. … Other times, they’ll start out as beats, and the next thing you know they kind of evolve over the course of the making of the album,” he said. “But what’s interesting about this track is the really high energy and the really strong electronic melodies and hooks kind of set this song apart, which is why we chose it as our first single. “We’ve kind of drifted into a lot more kind of electronic, digital feel, but what’s interesting about this record is that a lot of songs — people might pick up on this — but a lot of the songs kind of were started as these folk-driven songs,” he continued. “So there’s a very organic element to the record, as well as a very modern, kind of futuristic element too. We can’t wait for our fans to hear it.” " Video: http://mikeshinodaclan.com/2012/03/mtv-exc...nnington-video/

I'd be totally satisfied with Phoenix doing solo renditions of Moves Like Jagger and Enter Sandman on the new album. Maybe as bonus tracks. No, fuck that, make them the centerpieces of the album. Perfect.

So the puzzles are back...hopefully people won't shit on the song based entirely on the snippets like last time. To be honest, I'm very surprised that LP managed to put together an album so quickly...I was really expecting delay after delay after delay like with MTM, but it seems they were serious about quickening the album cycle after ATS.

That looks pretty cool to me.

SEEMS LEGIT I'm not really sure what point you were trying to make by posting this, btw.

Looks like Mike has seen our anstyness regarding all this info being leaked out. Finally we've gotten him to talk. Here's hoping for a single cover. Give us a glimpse into the art style for the new album.

Done deal. Burn it Down confirmed, alongside "Lost in the Echo", which apparently features Mike rapping. Btw, saw this via fuckyeahlinkinpark on Tumblr, who in turn got it from LPA. Figured I'd throw credit in here.

Well, after exerting a hell of a lot of creative effort on ATS and seeing it be received almost worse than MTM, they might be wanting to re-evaluate their approach. Though I sort of doubt that, and I think they just wanted to try something different. Again.

Maybe they're trying something different with this album. It's seeming to be the opposite of ATS in regards to each song (allegedly) being independent of one another, "heavier" guitars, and such. Wouldn't surprise me if they just sort of sprung a single on us without anyone being prepared, as opposed to building it up for months over the summer.

Yeah, wow, both sources pulled it. What bullshit. Unless LP/Warner got to them and were like "the fuck are you doing, stop that shit" or something.

Calling it now: QWERTY is the second single

Hey now, no need to throw stones at other fansites. Why can't we all just get along, yeah? besides LPL has had a shit-ton of exclusives, there's no need to defend this site or argue its merits.

They share a main guitar riff. I guess in '98 LP began restructuring the rest of the song around the riff and got a completely different end result.

If Chester was screaming over them and Mike was rapping over them, would you like them more?
