I MEANT 2014!!! Didn't notice that Also, where's the source for new song?

Most of us** 2008 - Pittsburgh - Couldn't go because my brother wouldn't go with me 2011 - Tampa - Classes, couldn't go because 5 hour drive 2104 - Tampa - I graduate a week before and may be moving if I have a job

Glad to see I'm not the only one who thought possible date from the numerals Also, googled Straonit and got nothing. There was a deleted twitter account, but that's pretty much it :\ Edit: Googling the numerals had produced nothing but a food blog on tumblr, unlike with Living Things

Looking at the text "IIKXIVVIXIV" IIK - I'm not sure, but the rest: IV VI XIV - 4, 6, 14 - 4/6/14 if the source is American or from Linkin Park, 6/4/14 if not IIK throws a wrench in the theory though Edit: IIK - 2000?

I don't think there's much significance, but there are lines (kinda like spotlights almost?) that are moving behind the clouds on the site now. Don't remember them being there, so something may've changed

I wonder what's gonna happen at 6:14pm tonight, either east coast or west coast time (so 9:14 eastern)

I really don't think 6.14 means album release date Living Things was released on June 26th, Burn it Down's promotional puzzle stuff wasn't until beginning of April, with a release at the end of the month. It just doesn't make sense to add another month on that gap. My theories of what it could mean: Track length Sixth version of the 14th track 14th Version of the sixth track Round 6 of them trying to finalize tracklist and The Hunting Party is in 14th place/slot They're just messing with us

All these rumors are holding up the new album.

michalangelo - NO. PLEASE NO I'm really liking how this update sounded. Having them just messing around and trying stuff without someone looking over their shoulder will definitely make it closer to what they want, meaning more excitement for the work and hopefully a better record than with an external producer. I really liked Living Things, but they could definitely do better and I don't think they could do that with Rick Rubin. With the jam sessions, it's definitely possible for tracks in the vein of Wake, WTCFM, TLTGYA, etc. - where the band either blends really well or they try different things to give a song a new and more intense sound (WTCFM had all the drums, TLTGYA had its outro, Iridescent had gang vocals and shifts in roles). As far as what I personally am hoping from this album, I want to have songs that can be like Apaches/WFTE/Wall of Sound either on the album or live. I think I've said this before, using Imagine Dragons' Night Visions/Live shows as an example, but it would be great to have a new LP album where each song is just begging to be played live because of its high energy and full sound (i.e. APFMH or the Iridescent Bridge/outro and WFTE 2012/2013, not Skin to Bone)

Realizing Sora is Geki was a bigger twist than all the M Night Shyamalan movies

I didn't realize they were playing so close to me until I saw a friend post a status about it Sunday afternoon. If I didn't have finals this week, I would've found a way to Jax to be front and center -__-

I think it's awesome to have all 3 UIB demos on one cd because of how the final track turned out. After reading through this thread, if they DIDN'T have all 3, people would be upset about that.

From their Tumblr post earlier today, PRIMO (I'll Be Gone Demo) is confirmed on the LPU XIII CD. Description of CD's contents: SOURCE HERE

That's what I was meaning, LP6 won't be LT2, so I'm looking forward to a sound completely different for LP6 and LP7, and then LP8 will be a mix of the first 7 albums. It'd be pretty neat to have an album similar to Night Visions - get some awesome live songs with LP's live rock awesomeness added. Then some other album with another style before an album combining everything together.

I'm hoping they pull something new again. MTM and ATS were really different from the album before them, then LT seemed a combination of all four albums. Since he said it won't sound like LT, that would knockout the album being a combo of the five albums and sounding similar. I think it'd be awesome to do another set of two albums that reach out from their past work, then make Album 8 a blend of the past 7 albums. Hope that makes sense. As for what I'm hoping for, I want songs that are "fill the arena" anthems. WFTE+Wall of Sound, IMR, Iridescent's ending w/ gang vocals, etc. One of my favorite albums this year was Imagine Dragons' Night Visions. I saw a live broadcast of their show and every song had all the energy you could imagine, even their lighter stuff. Even if LP did a mix of rock and light stuff, I'd be ok if it was like the blend Imagine Dragons had.

I've been trying for 3 hours now, keep having faulty internet issues, I've gotten 40% and a network error. -__- How's the Rick Rubin Reboot?

Missed that, thanks!

I saw a video of it last night, low quality, but pretty sure it was legit. The models in the pictures above were used, as well as the stuff from the lyric video (that giant blob of shapes). I was actually pretty impressed, it gave off a very Pts. of Athrty style mixed with a girl running around a digital city, while Mike and Chester (and I think I saw Brad's?) disembodied heads pop up every once in a while singing. Definitely matched the song. Looking forward to the actual video.

I got to meet Steve Aoki....it was....interesting....(he chilled on campus before a concert and reeked of various things). Bet it'll prolly be like New Divide or Blackbirds and just be on its own

Does anyone know if the $1 LPU12 CD is available for free trial people? I have a code from Songs from the Underground and Living Things...

The old people singing was a little creepy. But the kids!!! Especially the "Mini Mike" during the bridge - that was a cute idea to have the kids singing throughout the video

Bet 5 bucks it gets recorded for either a special itunes charity release, or mfr release

Is it me or does the graffiti look kinda like "ravok" Dammit Rav0k, sneaking into LP's videos

On a related note, how are the DSPs sounding this year? I know on the ATS tour, a few I got were....sub-par in audio quality. i.e. Kinda like the Bristol show back in May, the rip from the stream vs the actual DSP. A few that I had sounded like the rip. Also, are there any shows so far people recommend over others?

So who liked the alternate mix they did for the bridge? *gets version to put on my ipod*
