actually i've read they're going to a recording studio between March and May of these year.... i'm trying to find a trustworthy source tho.The source is a Kerrang's interview: http://lptimes.com/news2008/march/news03072008.html

Kerrang: "After Milton Keynes, what are your plans for the rest of the year?"

Mike: "2009 seems really far away. We're just looking forward to going home this month, writing some new music, chilling out with our friends and family, then hitting Europe in the summer. I don't know how soon we could be done with a new record, bit it won't take as long as the last one."

That's all.

yeah, i've just found that in lplive.net

But whatever they do, they'll be making new music, which sounds good enough for me.

i want a new and refreshed linkin park sound. I hope MTM was just a stage.

Seems like it. I doubt they'd be talking new album if they were totally satisfied with MTM.

WookieBastard

03-12-2008, 08:53 PM

yeah well, that thing of the new album is still a rumor.

if they do a new album, i think they would be looking for their fanbase approval. And, i've read somewhere, not a reliable source it was... that it'd be something to do with their old style or something.... if that's the game they're playing, they're a bunch of pussies.

I doubt these reports myself, since they said it would be so long in between Meteora and MTM.

Indeed. As good as Hybrid Theory was, I don't want them to "go back" to anything, mainly because I doubt they could pull it off as good again. If they're going to do some "back to our roots" thing after one "different" album, it'd be a total bitch move.

WookieBastard

03-12-2008, 09:12 PM

yeah, they're really close to piss every single of their fans off. They should keep moving. The problem with them is that they care too much about people's opinion whether they accept it or not. And Warner are becoming a cancer to LP, making everything worse.

They should have left WB when they could, but they were offered more money and they stayed... that doesn't speak very well about them. They were already very known, they should go independent or build a serious label. Now Chester and the JK guys are building Level 7, they say it'll be a revolutionary step in the music industry nowadays. Let's hope it is, and lets hope LP wakes up and goes that way too.

NoFace

03-12-2008, 10:46 PM

I doubt that Level 7 can go any further than Machine Shop. Chester has so many things on going, and never done a thing properly. Plus, running a company on your own is not easy.

WB is a pain on the ass, for sure, and I will be very disappointed if they stayed for the sole purpose of money. I know Linkin Park already stated how they would balance the artistic and commercial aspects, but seriously, money does no good for art. I still want a fair explanation from them, but from what we have known about Linkin Park, I doubt we ever will.

Pft, and going back is not an option either. They have to keep on going and exploring new music. Honestly, if they fail in the next album, I don't wanna predict what will come to their career, lol. They're no more pretty rock bois at their twenty something, so they better get their ass up and do some real revolution this time.

Julien-K will be released by a new label. not some boutique indy label, a new, groundbreaking company that is going to change the way music is created and consumed. amir and i are part of the label, but it is MUCH bigger than us, with some major players involved. we are but one peice of a much bigger announcement. one that will affect the industry in general. yes, there will be other acts TBA, that will be released by this new company... some that have probably heard of....

That was posted on Julien-K's myspace blog. link (http://blog.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&friendID=3646184&blogID=13293265)

It probably works just like what Radiohead and NIN, or perhaps it's the next step on Reznor's experiment. Either way, Level7 seems to be already running and maybe JK's album will be the first one they label will release.

I doubt it's like Machine Shop. I never quite understood Machine Shop, it's Mike and Brad's label but it's still part of Warner, so they didn't seem to change anything other than just adding the logo on the back cover of the cd.

I know Linkin Park already stated how they would balance the artistic and commercial aspects, but seriously, money does no good for art. I still want a fair explanation from them, but from what we have known about Linkin Park, I doubt we ever will.

the relationship of music and art is strange. It's alright to do your thing and then sell it for a reasonable prize, but i mean, when you consider how it will sell while you are creating art then it'll no longer be art and it just turns into a product. LP are big musical prostitutes and WB are their pimps, greedy pimps indeed.

Pft, and going back is not an option either. They have to keep on going and exploring new music. Honestly, if they fail in the next album, I don't wanna predict what will come to their career, lol.

you didn't like MTM that much after all, did you?

NoFace

03-13-2008, 09:57 AM

I never put that much trust into DBS/Julien-K/Chester in this business issue, to be honest. Once again, I say, deja vu. I have heard all this before and I haven't seen no real revolution in the music industry yet.

Machine Shop first started as 'the Shinoda imprint' - which I believe is an attempt of Mike in creating a 'revolution' something among the industry. But finally, it seems like they fail pretty much and just get merged into WB.

I can see the similar between Level 7 and Machine Shop somehow. Like, first off, they sign themselves in (LP, FM). Then, come their friends. (under the flag of Machine Shop: Army of Anyone- old members of Stone Temple Pilots minus Scott, Style Of Beyonds - Mike's old friends, and another band I don't remember, which has an old member of Tasty Snax, I think). It serioulsy won't work properly. It's just like having fun around, but real business is not like that. I think that Mike and Brad are more business-wise than Chester, and their style of working is more professional, but it doesn't change the fact that their so called label did not succeed.

I'm an avid supporter of free music, but what NIN and Radiohead started is just in its experimental step, and it shows no real result yet.

So, my opinion is, no much hope in Level 7. Let's Chester have some fun in controlling his own company, but I don't believe it will go anywhere or can make any chance to the face of the music today. I don't say that there's no chance for something like a music revolution, but I don't see it coming from Level7 or whatever project that Chester got in his hand right now.

About MTM, LOL, don't ask me if I like it or not. We all have to admit that it's not huge success nor super creativeness. But everything starts from a step, innit? No one forbids a man to hope.

I'm an avid supporter of free music, but what NIN and Radiohead started is just in its experimental step, and it shows no real result yet.

Well, Reznor improved the new system when releasing Ghosts. When exactly that method of music distribution will stop being experimental anyway? The day all record labels collapse?

I think it's too early to judge Level 7's success (or failure). It's not just Chester, it's the guys of Julien-K also who are on that project. And none of them are talking too much about their projects.... if you think LP say very little about what they're doing, JK is ten times worse... they give you headlines but nothing more than that.

To be honest, even if Level 7 succeeds and finds a new way of distributing music, i can't imagine they have a real significant impact on the industry. Or perhaps not... who knows at this point. I guess we'll have to wait until Julien-K releases their album and see what exactly were they talking about when they said "revolution". (i do hope the term "revolution" is more meaningful than LP's when they talked about MTM)

lol, hope is not a plan though. that's why MTM failed.

Hope keeps us here. Without hope, we have all left Linkin Park

There can be miracles

Though hope is frail
It's hard to kill
Who knows what miracles
You can achieve
When you believe somehow you will
You will when you believe!!!!! weee weee weeee!!!!

I honestly really don't care what direction LP is heading towards, just as long as it's GOOD and not crappy, the I'll be happy. :D ((though another HT/Meteora is something I definitely don't mind :( )

03-28-2008, 09:16 AM

ohh..im so exiting ... :) .. hope the record will be like HT or M.. i love these 2 album aloot.. so if they make one like them .. im gonnaaa .... and i cant wait 4 that ..

BTW.. thanks 4 the info ... keep it up

mikeshinodaslilbro

03-29-2008, 05:53 PM

i personaly hope that they do another record like Minute To Midnight i like tht record alot dont get me wrong im not only into LP because i heard some of MTM ive been with them since i first heard "One Step Closer" on radio 1 and although it would be cool to hear another HT or Meteora id prefer something different theyre combfortable with there new sound and if people dont like it thats there own opinion but i love it

lplover789

03-30-2008, 04:35 AM

I havn't heard anything about a knew album what the hell is going on.
I heard that there would only be one more.

OF COURSE I DIDN'T BELIEVE IT.

welcome2mv

04-08-2008, 08:23 PM

i record like MTM would be cool. or Meteora or Hybrid. i dont care. it s gotta be good. and LP is the best band i ve ever known so no worries abt the music.

i just hope they would release the record sooner. not that long like MTM. they made the fans waited for so long.

MarathonMan

04-08-2008, 08:43 PM

I wouldn't mind an album like MTM as long as there's more hard rock songs. Seriously, the only ones are Given Up, Bleed It Out, and NO More sorrow. The rest are slow enough to stop a maush pit. Anyway, I hoping one like Meteora because it's almost like a cross between MTM and Hybrid Thoery. I would like a Hybrid Theory - like album, but I'm starting to feel like they've forgotten about Hybrid Theory with the exception of the HT singles and the songs that are modified or played regularly on the radio. Like Forgotten. Why did they stop playing it? That was a fast enough song wasn't it? Maybe I'm just going crazy because I missed the excitment of hving an album as great as that.

ThunderStrike

04-09-2008, 06:12 AM

imo the perfect album would be something with good rock songs like in HT and Meteora along with softer more relevant songs like Sotd, WID and LOATR

civcom12

04-13-2008, 12:44 PM

I hope they realize how many MTM haters their are.
Hybrid Theory, and Meteora had so much more talent in them. I just hope the mainstream sound isn't in the new album.

tpbarbosa

04-13-2008, 12:51 PM

I want to see a heavier LP in the next album
With things from past (like HT and METEORA)
But also new things.... but in the LP's style
I hope I like it ^^
Even though I don't like so much MTM as I do with HT and METEORA
I'm not a MTM's hater ;)

why does the LPU8 logo contest has anything to do with the "MTM demos" on the LPU8 CD? It's just a rumor. And I doubt that you will ever have a chance to hear those things. Linkin Park have some very tight rules on their demos/ unused material.

i hope it goes back to meteora style but leave some songs like MTM in there because i do like that album. but i hope those damn MTM haters will shut the hell up and be satisfied with the new album. i hope it comes out sometime in 2009.

p.s. Linkin park fans that don't like MTM at all aren't true Linkin Park fans

MarathonMan

06-07-2008, 09:54 PM

I don't think demos are ever given to the Warner (besides samples they might play for the label in the recording process), the band probably deleted anything they felt was crap them themselves, maybe keeping some ideas that they might want to revisit.

Though there might be some clause in their contract that governs demos. Unlikely.

LP signed a contract to WB that gave them the right to do anything with every single song (including demos) LP has including not releasing them to the public.

mike rapping was the old lp.....

06-11-2008, 04:33 PM

I think that they are just taking a bit more time with albums to make it deeper and stuff. . . But I wish everyone would shut the hell up too, I mean c'mon can you find any group that sounds as amazing as Linkin Park?!! I get really pissed when some of my friends tell me that they hate the new album everything at they have put out so far is kickass. You think different, email me.

Even though it is still hard for me to wait more than 4 years for another album (if it takes that long) . . .. I will remain a dedicated fan. And that is the end of it. =D

06-25-2008, 11:25 PM

Well,I prefer them experimenting.That's why I liked M2M.
So,I'd love a bunch of 5-6 good nu-metal songs, 2-3 mainstream rock ballads (SOTD,LOATR,WID) and some slow songs (My December,Breaking the Habit,Pushing me away).
Mixing old sounds of Meteora and Hybrid Theory and some new stuff from M2M, I think that the result will be great.

And M2M was a huge success,actually.It has already made 8,000,000copies and if LOATR goes well then the album will chart again (don't know how high but we'll see).

I think it will be the aame kinda heavy tracks and ballady type tracks. I don't think that will change. Maybe Mike will do more rapping on the next album.

I kinda prefer their old sound. MtM just doesn't sound like LP.
i agree..........

I think it will be the aame kinda heavy tracks and ballady type tracks. I don't think that will change. Maybe Mike will do more rapping on the next album.

i for one would like to see a little bit more of mike in the next album.

M2M is a "but" album, as in "you know, i liked it, BUT...", and in a way, it's kind of a shame, because as a band taking on a new sound, they'd want the album to be something special, however a lot of people don't feel that way towards M2M.

personally, i liked it - they had some kick ass jump up and down and scream with chester songs, they had Bleed It Out which is probably one of my fav songs off M2M and which is one of the rare occasions to hear mike rap on this album, and they had some really nice rock ballads too (SOTD, LOATR etc)...

BUT (told you it's a but album),

i felt like there was something missing. i felt some of the songs, beautiful as they are, were just too slow. all though they were experimenting, and i'm all up for that musically, i think if you're going to try a new sound, you gotta do it and make it your own, and i feel that maybe that's where M2M was a little off the mark.

However, in saying that, with their new album, i'm hoping that it combines some of the old elements with the new... i don't want them to go backwards and make another HT or Meteora, but i would like to see certain elements used on those albums and incorporated with the new stuff.

There has to be more Mike for starters (well, there doesn't have to be, but that's what i'd like to see). Preferably rapping, though i don't mind him singing. Either way, Mike is an integral part of the lyrical sound of LP. Although M2M proves that Chester can lyrically carry a whole album with his voice, i don't think it's necessarily right. Having said that, yes, Mike wrote himself out of a lot of the songs, and yes it's all apart of trying out a new style of music, but IMO it may not necessarily have been the right choice.

And i'd like to hear more of Mr. Hahn laying down some beats.

I just hope that this new album doesn't take so many years to be released. If they're going to continue in the direction of their new style of music, they're going to have to knuckle up and really make it something special.
