I think the new site is much better than the current one because it seems like the new site can allow the band to interact with us more than they do.
Take Bungie Game Studios for example (you should know who they, just in case creators of Halo 3) they have been posting blogs, referring to their fans, going on the message boards and interacting with their fans HEAPS! That makes them a much better and unique game studio, maybe Linin Park could do that.
