Correct me if I'm wrong. It's all my opinion.
After reading what Mike said, I think the description given on XFM was probably wrong.
Mike says:
It may be a small grammatical mistake, but if he was to mention the new record he would have said "THE new Linkin Park album", imo.
Hope this makes sense...!
When I saw it I thought of A7X releasing their artwork as a puzzle. So my guess is that they'll update this pic once in 2-3 days increasing the clarity and HOPEFULLY that will lead us to something important...... and big!
