Linkin Park

And as for The Catalyst, its different, and repetitive, but I like it

Mike just did chats on the LPU, LP.com, and Ustream. Highlights are as follows.

* Chester is doing a very different kind of screaming that is very exciting. Mike referred to it as "weird" and "losing his mind kind of screaming."
* There will be heavy tracks on the album.
* There will be gang vocals from the entire band on a couple songs.
* Mike and Chester do back and forth vocals on almost every song.
* Mike will be rapping.
* The music video for The Catalyst is not yet finished.
* Both new and old songs will be played on tour.
* "That effect on the voices in The Catalyst is a layer of a flanger, a modulation effect, and some other stuff."
* "We had fun with effects on this record...lots of "ear candy"...on many instruments."
* "It's not really a concept record. It's kind of a concept record, but only in the sense that the concept is more about the execution of it. It is not a rock opera. You guys may feel like it's got a common thread that kinda goes through from song to song and all the way down the album and that is definitely intentional. There's multiple layers and meaning."
* Neal Avron has mixed the record. He mixed Minutes to Midnight as well.
* LP will not be on the soundtracks to Saw 7 or Transformers 3.
* Mike and Joe both contributed to the artwork. Mike praised Joe's work.

To be honest, that sounds very attractive. But why let Catalyst be the single? Can't they choose something better?

I hate them - mainly because Nu Metal is one the most awful genres of music ever (if you're over 18 anyway)

There was a part of me that hated them, but they were kind of one of the bands that got me into 'metal' and 'rap.' Which are the two biggest genres I listen to nowadays. They do release some good stuff -- I say some, because it's just that, SOME of there stuff is good, but it's pretty slim.

I love Linkin Park, Numb is one of my favourite songs ever.

Meteora is a classic

All he said is he thought they could have been able to choose a better 1st single but you some how get off bitching saying he's trashing the entire album? No offense but shut up.

im not gonna stfu cuz they are my favorite band, im truely the biggest fan of LP on these forums, 85 GB of linkin park dude!! anyways go read the guta's posts on all 3 pages and you'll see hes trashing man.

Just because you're a fan doesn't mean you have to be a little bitch about everything.

No one can please everyone. Not even your little bitch band Linkin Park.

omfg i already read like 10 comments of you just complaining and complaining, stop!! you dont even know why they are trying to do with this album, and obviously you havent even heard the lyrics of the catalyst, but just stop. you cant just fuckin judge the whole album based on the catalyst, just cuz you didnt like 1 track, your gonna hate on the album when its not even out yet!?

plus they obviously have better tracks on the album, one step closer was the lead single of hybrid theory but it isnt considered the best track from the album, ppl consider in the end the best track and in the end was the last single of the album, on meteora, somewhere i belong was the lead single altho people consider faint and numb the best tracks. and I guess you can see where Im going with this, so just stop hating

Yeah but One Step Closer and Somewhere I Belong were good songs. The Catalyst and along with everything they've put out recently is horrible.

Every track they made from Hybrid Theory-Meteora was incredible.

This new way they went sucks but hey they are still huge worldwide it just doesn't suit me this new direction good on them for staying relevant in the music industry for as long as Eminem etc. If they have atleast 1 or 2 old style tracks on there new album i won't complain.

You may have wondered why i am quoting you well to be honest i have no idea

Did anyone know about this track before? It's 3 years old, around the time MtM came out. Come on LP, I know they can make songs like this more, so why don't they?
