Mike Shinoda of Linkin Park is featured in the March 2012 issue of UK publication Rocksound Magazine where he goes into some detail about how the band's fifth studio album is shaping up, including how the recording is going, what it sounds like and what the audience can expect when it eventually drops sometime this year. Check out the full interview in the scan below.

Whoopwoop!
Shows attended: October 26th - Dortmund, Germany [+M&G]
Sounds exciting. How do "edited sounds, loops and atmospheres" differ from "samples"? ;P
This would be a pure disaster
I am liking the impression I am getting.

Is it only this scan? Because you say scans yet there's only one to click on.
What I've read so far is quite interesting. Especially (like minuteforce said) the mention of 'digital elements' and them being different from samples... I can't really tell how they're different from samples either but MS must know what he's talking about. I mean, it's not like the guy doesn't know what samples are right?
So far, so good. I think it's gonna be more different from ATS than I expected.

Oh boy, i think this has be the most exciting development so far
We're all a little weird and life is a little weird, and when we find someone who's weirdness is compatible with ours we fall in mutual weirdness and call it love.
Nice, but it does not say anything new but I am still excited for the new album!!

hahaha trust me (A)
There playing with Soundgarden on the same day so maybe there is going to be a collaberation or somtehing, you'll never know!

I don't think LP's gonna do collabs anytime soon. Their new album's coming our way so it would just take our eyes off of that. Or maybe we'll have collabs on the new album, that would be something different. But I doubt it haha.
Actually, I consider this the most important of the album updates we've gotten to date. Some say it offers nothing new, but I disagree completely. In this article, Mike gets rid of the idea that album sounds like Hybrid Theory (which was a common misconception from the "mix of old and new" article) and also reveals something interesting: the lack of samples and electronics. Granted some may argue that "digital elements" are essentially the same thing, but what I think Mike is trying to say by "edited sounds, loops and atmospheres" that the album is going more of an analog route which is certainly a big step for the band. A lot of their samples and loops in the past were generated virtually by computer programs/plugins which gave their albums a distinctly electronic sound. If they're using real instruments for loops, this could be the most natural/organic sounding album they've ever made. I didn't think it was possible to top my excitement for ATS, but Mike has officially made me geek out. Can't wait to hear the first single.

HELP THE LPA:
Mike clearly says in bold on the article "We be trail blazin wif da new shiz." Such a strpped down and polarizing statement.
HAVE YOU EXPERIENCED PICTUREBOARD YET?
The cycle repeated as explosions broke in the sky
all that I needed was the one thing I couldn't find
And you were there at the turn waiting to let me know
We're building it up to break it back down
We're building it up to burn it down
We can't wait to burn it to the ground
The colors conflicted as the flames climbed into the clouds
I wanted to fix this but couldn't stop from tearing it down
And you were there at the turn caught in the burning glow
And I was there at the turn waiting to let you know
You told me yes you held me high And I believed when you told that lie
I played that soldier you played king And struck me down when I kissed that ring
You lost that right to hold that crown I built you up but you let me down
so when you fall I'll take my turn and fan the flames as your blazes burn
You can so tell that mike has japanese genes

Wolflink on getting his copy of Living Thingswolflink: i preordered through LPA so im screwed
Atmospheric music + loops/edits has me REALLY intrigued. I sense the band moving in a brave new direction.
Also digging the idea of writing more personal lyrics. This is exactly what I've been wanting them to do.
Could it be something with Ambient-like music?COOL!
Amazing read, can't wait to hear the new single asap!
offtopic: LPSpain just tweeted that PinkPop radio announced Fort Minor to play in the same day as Linkin Par on the Festival! you think it's an error or can really be true?
For such a small article, I feel it gives us the best idea of what we can expect from album 5.
Awesome read!
