Damn, you're going to die before you graduate!

I MEANT 2014!!!

Didn't notice that

Also, where's the source for new song?

I'm glad for the US fans!! I always am, cause you get the best tours, and pretty much gets to see LP every year, while we have to wait 2-3 years. Living in EU sucks

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

IIKXIVVIXIV = 2K14614 solved. 14.06.2014.

 

2K = probably 2000, all the rest are roman numbers.

Edit: just saw your post MrCinder.

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

Station R?

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

The Hunting Party could be part of a puzzle or maybe a clue for an upcoming puzzle, etc. Who knows at this point, but I think it's safe to say that the single will be called ''Guilty All The Same.''

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

He said that the new single will be here last thursday = crap

 

I can tell that the new album or at least a single will be available in June 2014 aka 6.14. Mark my words!

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 -__-

Listened to about half the CD so far. This is the worst LPU CD so far since LPU9, IMO. Way too many instrumentals and we didn't get any of the stuff we were requesting. Honestly, Primo is most likely the best demo on this CD. I also don't see the need in putting the 3 UIB demos on the CD, seems a bit like a cop out.

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:

The most intimate content that LPU members have access to is the music. LINKIN PARK has been releasing EPs of unfinished songs, demos, and unreleased material since 2001 via the LPU. For the 13th year of the LPU, LINKIN PARK presents the LPU XIII CD, a collection of demos, unfinished songs and 2 additional tracks created by LPU members and produced by the band.

Actually you can take it one more step forward, if it's not like LT and LT is the previous four combination it's can't be like any of them. So it should something new/different.

 

Anyway it's too soon to know or guess, even he don't know what it's gonna sound like.

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?

You can watch the video here.

Missed that, thanks!

1. You've seen 2 screenshots and a 5-second clip recorded on a camera phone.

2. These CGI videos may be "directed" by Joe, but Ghost Town Media does like 90% of the work. See: Waiting For the End. Once they're done with the basic on-set shots, Joe's out of the picture.

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

new background screen!

really excited for the new video and concept

 

Is it me or does the graffiti look kinda like "ravok"

Dammit Rav0k, sneaking into LP's videos

still using an image to bitchin'?

if everyone was like you....

......oh poor world

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*
