Full Version: **new Linkin Park**
ive just heard the new LP single *what ive done* off their site its different then their other track's but the video goes with the song i like it any other LP fan's?
I haven't listened to Linkin Park for years. I think it was 4 years ago.
What is their new LP like? Do they sound different, or are they still.. trying to blend all different forms of music?

Wow , this is actually pretty good. Been a while since ive heard from them, since like like 4 yers ago ahahah.. From what it sounds , looks like its goin into a good direction.
^___^v my friend got the album and she sent me "WHAT I'VE DONE".
It's realllllly great. I liked it. I used to listen to a lot of LP's song , but not as much as before.

LP has always been one of my fave bands ^^!! Love the new single though the have better songs, the MV looks really awesome and I like the thought of it (the 'this is what's wrong with the world' kind of thought)
i love love looove What I've Done! I'm so glad they're back.. missed them soo much!
i kinda like the whole world missed up video it might draw more people to pay attention to things alittle more then people did before seeing how LP has a HUGE fan based around the worldwww.linkinpark.com
u can watch there video there enjoy
I actually like it. Video and song. It's been a while since I've heard something from them, and it sounds as if they've matured a little.
I was waiting for someone to post this up..
I was a huge Linkin Park fan than they went to record the new album and Mike did his solo album etc. I know that they are going for a new sound which is cool. But I really liked their old stuff, with the screaming and Mike's raps. I read that the new album will only have 2 songs from their "old sound" which is disappointing because it's what got me hooked initially. I enjoy listening to "What I've Done" but it's quite different. It's just something I'm not use to. I just hope that I'm not disappointed with the new album.

How they fused the genres of rap and rock into their music. I've read the breif break down of the songs and there only two songs that incorporate their "old sound". The album isn't out until May 15th.
If anyone is interested, here it is:

Track by track MTM interview
WAKE
Mike: This is an intro track that starts the album - you can hear a needle going down on a record and i think it sets the tone for what's to come.
GIVEN UP
Brad: We had a really bad song called 'fire in the city' - the chorus actually had the words 'fire in the city' on it! Mike was the only person who liked it. rather than just scrap the song, we mined it for any good parts.
Mike: It felt like brad stole my car and ripped out the stereo.
Brad: I took the bassline and the drums and built weird sounds around it, which eventually became this song. Chester's screaming: 'What the john tesh is wrong with me? Put me out of my john teshing misery!' so, without explaining exactly what the song's about, it's pretty clear he's not happy.
LEAVE OUT ALL THE REST
Chester: We knew this was going to be a single from the very beginning, so we worked really hard on making sure it had great lyrics. I'm singing 'Pretending someone else can save me from myself' during it because it's supposed to feel like an apology letter, as though i'm moving on but i want people to remember the good things and not the bad things. A lot of the song is about humility.
BLEED IT OUT
Mike: I wrote the lyrics to this about 100 times. it's always frustrating as a lyricist to come in with a new version that you spent hours on and have the band tell you that it's not there yet. in one case, they listened to my lyrics for 30 seconds and told me to start over again. that was pretty hard. it felt like i was bringing in the lyrics, getting punched in the face and then going back to the drawing board. When it finally came together i said to the band 'I don't think anyone but us could have made a song like this'. It's a john teshing bizarre death-party-rap-hoedown!
SHADOW OF THE DAY
Brad: This was probably the most difficult arrangement to nail. It sounded very derivative at first but then we kept replacing different elements on it. We put an acoustic guitar on it, then an electric banjo and then a marimba. It’s definitely one of the best songs we’ve written.
WHAT I’VE DONE
Mike: on the other albums, Brad and I started every song together. But this was the only song we wrote together and the last one we finished. We wanted a song that encapsulated the feel of the whole record and I think this is that song. You’re going to get something different out of this every time you listen to it.
HANDS HELD HIGH
Mike: Rick said to us that, if something sounded like it needed rapping, then we should try singing and vice versa. That’s why this song has rapping on it.
Brad: a lot of the greatest accidents occurred when we combined elements that shouldn’t have worked together.
NO MORE SORROW
Rob: this is probably the heaviest song on the album. It was initially called ‘EBow idea’ Rick told Brad that he should use an EBow [guitar effect] on a different song. When he went in to work on that, he got frustrated and came up with the opening to this.
Chester: I think this is a record you should listen to on headphones because you’ll hear different things, this is a song that shows there is depth to this record.
VALENTINE’S DAY
Chester: It’s definitely one of the poppier songs on the album. We have to be very careful sometimes that we don’t lose the integrity of what we’re doing – we’re a very dark band and we like it like that. We talk about uncomfortable things and try to make you comfortable with that. We tried to do that here in a more poppy song and I really like that aspect of the album.
IN BETWEEN
Chester: I knew that Mike should really sing this song. I tried it once, I did a good job, but it just didn't have the power of Mike's performance because he really believed what he was singing. Whatever it is the motherjohn tesher is apologising for on this track, he's john teshing serious! It comes from the most sincere and heartfelt place.
IN PIECES
Chester: I got divorced recently and that was very difficult. I also got remarried so there was a big contrast in my life. For a while I couldn’t be completely happy with the new life I was starting and I couldn’t end the last one. This is a song about that. The music has a kind of reggae vibe to it, almost. It’s really cool watching how the song goes from that, through pop and emerges as a full-on rock song at the end.
THE LITTLE THINGS YOU GIVE AWAY
Brad: this is our favourite song on the record. It's the biggest statement that we've ever made. Nothing could go after it as everything would get eclipsed by it. The thing that really makes it is the guitar solo.
Mike: Brad has always avoided solos because he doesn't like to show off. But when he played that solo, though, it was one of the most emotional moments we've recorded. It says what the lyrics are saying without words.

I watched the mv of "What I've Done" 4 days ago and I really like the message it sends.
I think the song is great too, quite addicting.
Linkin Park never seems to disappoint me, they're just so good.
I love there music to the max and I'm pretty sure this new album is going to rock.
(I was going to make a topic about this but I just knew someone was going to beat me to it lol).

Wow, I haven't heard from Linkin Park in years >.<;; used to be a huge fan =]
Even though this song isn't as 'heavy' as the other songs they've done in the past, it's still a great song.
Can't wait to hear their new album when it comes out =)

^___^v my friend got the album
WHOAwhat? how'd your friend get the album already? o.o
I don't know how much I'm going to like this new Linkin Park (although... I do like their new logo)
Their style, musically, has seemed to go from "Yeah, clearly linkin park" to almost blending in with other many other bands. I couldn't even place where Shinoda was when I heard What I've Done. And Chester... his voice was so... toned down, almost.
Appearence-wise... they (or maybe just Chester) reminds me of Lukas Rossi. It... doesn't seem to fit Linkin Park, IMO. Something's just off. But, fine, I can live with different appearence.
The video... message-wise was great. In terms of style/overall appearence, I didn't like it. Maybe it's because I've seen videos like that already too many times. *goes to find out their director*
Okay, all that might have been really pessimistic of me, but the song, as a song itself, forgetting that it's by Linkin Park, is pretty good.
I really love their new song "What I've done"
Different but still awesome ^^

exactly my thoughts.
even though i thought the mv was touchy and sad...now that you mentioned it...yeah, we've seen that concept already.

Well... It wasn't that concept that really bothered me. It's been done a lot before, but I don't mind it. It was more of the style of the mv. It was so like the mv for Ready to Fall by Rise Against.
oh good gosh.. linkin park
i remember really liking them years and years ago, then i kind of stopped.. i got extremely annoyed.
anyways, this single is good

May 15th.
I think after I hear it I may choose to pretend it doesn't exist as a Linkin Park album. =) ah-ha. that'll solve it.
to me, its no different from their other songs. ummean, sure, its a different song, but the concept still sounds the same. if i were to get another linkin park cd (minutes to midnight), i'm assuming that its gonna be ANOTHER linkin park cd. i was hoping to be surprised by their single.
I love the new single and i've been waiting for the new album to come out last year when they annouced that they'd be releasing a new album in the future
great song, great music vid
i dont think the albums been leaked yet, its just old songs by another rock band
well it hasnt been leaked as far as i know during this time of writing
cant wait for may 15 or whenever its being released

I just heard their whole album on the radio last night. Well not all of it, but from what I heard it was reeeeally good. The last track was awesome, as I remember. Wish I heard the whole thing.

so ive heard the album as well...the album is a more rock oriented than HT and Meteora, with a little less of the ethereal sound/hip hop influence, less radio friendly as well...also Chester is featured more on the album, while Mike only rapped in a few...its not bad, but i still like HT more...i like Bleed It Out, No More Sorrow, Valentines Day, In Pieces and The Little Things Give You Away (sound like a The Gathering kinda song)...btw i hate What Ive Done...
