Hoping that those who pre-ordered are getting the song early. They did say we'd get things earlier and thta includes the single.....I Am So Excited! Hoping by saturday or even friday!

I don't want the vinyl records because I have no use for them lol. I want the hardcover artbook though!

 

I'm either getting just the cd/dvd or the deluxe offer. Does anyone know how much shipping will be to the UK? i can't access the site properly through my phone, thanks!

 

i know, i want the art book too! I don't think the special edition has it though......

God, I really want the art book but I'm not paying $100 for vinyl that I can't use. I really want the artbook!!!!!

I'm pretty sure there's no text on it. When MTM and Meteora art was release the words already on there.

The fact that they're not putting any words on it makes me feel like they're taking a direct approach to the art on this album. They want it to show of as an album cover w/ a band's name but each as a separate piece of art.

They have a "theme song" for the X Games every year, The Catalyst is probably it for this year. That means it'll be the background music in a lot of their montage videos, music leading in/out of commercials, intro music for each broadcast, stuff like that...you probably won't hear the entire song at any single point, but they'll use different chunks of it at different times.

 

*Edit* Actually, I forgot they've been using that "X Games Without Frontiers" song as their official theme music the last few years, so The Catalyst probably won't replace it. I'm sure it'll be used more than once during the entire X Games though.

awww i dont have cable. but that means The Catalyst must be good for them to use it as a part score!

just one more reason why the album was delayed...

we won't receive presale options till this image finishes loading.

and now we have chester's as well...

Other from Mike:

Who said there were 12, anyway? I didn't.

 

hahaha well, Mike says, are not 12 songs

could be more. 12 songs plus 2 instrumentals?

Mike Shinoda says: m_shinoda saw description of 6 of our new songs online. it said "other 6 are hard rock." ha. nobody has heard anything but the first 6. #athousandsuns

Alright, some movement. And guess he's participating in the twitterthon as well. And incase you guys didn't notice somethings up with the LP main page

 

EDIT: its working again

its gonna take soo long but this is the prize!! i cannot wait for more!!! THe Catalyst and a thousand suns is close!

I don't know, maybe not as long as you'd think. The image is getting clearer each time I look. If it stays this way we'll be done today...which means whatever it is we'll get to finally see!

so how do we know how many tweets we need? And if we really need that many separate tweets then we are sooo screwed!

Wow, it isn't completed yet? This "set me free" process take such a long time...

guess we better tweet some more.

I'm sure it's this one: http://parktwitter.prodapps.com/0.jpg

LPA confirmed that its just a decoy till the final number of tweets has been reached. LP learns from their mistakes

Anyone know what the char on the side of the intro page is? it's number is going down...perhaps the required number of posts? and i'm pretty sure we'll be done in the next hour or so.

Would you be able to listen to over 1000 remixes?

no, but that's why i said they'd have at least various people listen to them to see if they were worth while. I think it's unfair because they did give us the time period. Some people do work harder or take longer and it just makes sense that they should give everyone a chance. The ranking is not always positively correct

Correct. Some have huge fanbases , some don't .

We can only hope LP listens to more remixes other then the top 10.

(mainly hope this because im somewhere around the 30th xD)

I don't know about winning or not but I hope Linkin park will be fair and listen to everyone's at least. Even if they're not in the top 20 or so. I'm working on my piece and it's taking me some time due to all the things I'm doing so then when i upload I probably won't have a chance at all to reach the top numbers. At least have someone listen through them all?

IIRC The Catalyst will have long instrumental outro that can be easily took away. Just like what they did with Eminem's 'Beautiful'

I really hope they don't do that. I've always loved their music videos but don't ruin an entire song just to make a shorter video. Then at least make two versions of the same music video so we fans can truly enjoy it!

Uhh maybe then it will be the song + music video... dunno

I think that's very possible and makes a lot of sense unless LP decides to do an instrumental again which is always cool. But I'm sure the music+video will be up on itunes by at latest 2 weeks after the broadcast release.

Surfin on the net i found this on Warner Music Spain....

sorry but that looks like a fake. It has the image of Chesters face fro the new linkin park pictures and it has simply been distorted.

I was thinking, it's also very possible that if this is a concept album that the first single would be the first actual song since they'd like to reveal the songs in the right order? And this ^^^ only makes it seem all the more likely.

One Step Closer, Somewhere I Belong, What I've Done and now..The Catalyst. It already sounds diferrent

Just realized....looking at the past singles, they have all had three words in them. Hahaha, almost as if A Thousand Suns should be the single...haha

A sample or a snippet of the new song would be pretty intense.

Just imagine that...solve another puzzle and then all of a sudden the song starts playing
