    It appears that UK radio station XFM gave insight on the new Linkin Park sound during their radio broadcast today; captured by the folks over at LPLive, here is the transcript:

    "I had someone come in and play me brand new Linkin Park material in the wake. Someone from the management company. This is no lie. Came in to the XFM studio with a cop from America who would flown over with the one copy of the 6-track sampler of the new Linkin Park album and basically this cop's job was to guard it at all times. This is the true story. It really was the case of the new material being on the lock and key. But it was really good and actually very different. If you're one of those people who thought that Linkin Park have made the same album 3 times as far as their new studio releases go, I think you'll be pleasantly surprised with this new one. There's rapping on it, but not the kind of rock-rap type of stuff that Mike Shinoda has done in the past. And the track is going to be the first single. At its full-length is almost proggy in places. It's very very good. Lots of take in, lots of new layers coming with the Linkin Park sound. And of course they have confirmed the full UK tour."

    LPA & LPL Member LESTAT captured the recording: here

    Yeah, this guys enthusiasm really excites me, and the way he describes the new music is exactly like I had imagined. Really can't wait to hear music from the new album.

    I'd love to heard more songs like "She Couldn't", that's easily one of their best tracks.

    I think its probably like that dusan but with more of an electronic edge and with some heavier rapping. Should be awesome.

    It's only a matter of time before the 6 track sampler gets leaked! This is great news! :)

    Great news indeed, but I don't think it's a good thing if the songs get leaked. Haha.

    I got even more excited as soon as Mike said that, I really hope LP have produced songs like Mike's remix of Gold Guns Girls, thats the direction they should be going in IMO

    No way it's gonna leak imo. Magazines and radio stations usually manage to get this kind of stuff. Metallica, for example, had a 5 or 6-track sampler (not sure) in June 2008. 3 months before Death Magnetic. Nothing leaked. You see about LP - there was a cop whose only job was to 'guard' the CD. IDK, hope something leaks, but highly doubt about it.

    I really doubt that somehow, when probably the only copy available outside of the band is being protected by someone who's job it is to make sure that the CD doesn't leave his sight.

    It's pretty interesting that they are just dropping into random radio stations, especially in the UK, just so some random guy can listen to it, I mean it's not like this guy even did a full review of the sampler, but instead, just mentioned it in passing it seemed. He never alluded to a full review or a single coming out in the next week or so or anything. Strikes me as slightly odd.
