Linkin Park Gets a Potty Mouth?

Adding to the ever growing list of release date rumors for Linkin Park's yet to be titled new album, BestBuy.com has recently speculated a release date of May 1st with three different versions listed for purchase through their online store. While rumored release dates are certainly nothing new to fans, it should be worth a mention that this is the first time Linkin Park's new album has been listened as Parental Advisory, with a clean version, and special edition also available for pre-order alongside the speculated date of release. Will Linkin Park finally break the 'no swearing' code they've followed over the past couple of years? Only time will tell.​

Thanks to Kay86, JNudda and ernieball003!

*Special thanks to Derek for writing this...

 

interesting... i wonder how much swearing there'll be!

 

I guess a couple of fucks here and there, nothing special.

 

Cue all the people against swearing because their parents won't let them buy the CD.

On a serious note, I hope they don't go overboard on the curses... it'd seem so off. Like, maybe as much as they do during live shows.

EDIT: Brad and Rob's smileys look exactly the same? Heh, you should mod Brad's with a HUGE 'fro,

 

I was talking to Derek and I said that maybe it'll come with a dvd that will have swearing on it, which would list the album as a Parental Advisory. Perhaps the album won't have swearing on it if that's the case. Who knows though. I actually don't mind swearing, unless the cd is just infested with it.

 

I don't know. Best Buy was pretty accurate when they put up all the Fort Minor CDs, including all of the special edition stuff of that CD.

 

oh dear - doesnt bother me but still...

 

Well, there you have it. The thread I started just about got answered. At least there're speculations... haha

It'll be interesting to hear a major studio album of LP with swearing in the lyrics... it's part of the change that they're going through, maybe a maturity thing. Who knows: maybe they'll regret not doing it earlier. Then again, they could regret doing it at all.....

Just look at how Fort Minor did. And they promoted it as "Mike Shinoda of Linkin Park" where anyone who knew LP didn't swear in their songs wouldn't be expecting it from him, but he did. That was a different style of music, though. It fit well with it.

I guess we'll just have to see. Any album will do now after waiting this long...

 

I really don't believe they will swear. If they plan on maturing, that's really not the way to go...

 

I think the same thing

I personally think they should just leave it to their live shows.

 

I just hope that they don't do that stupid reversing swear words thing.

For some reason it annoys me.

 

It doesn't bother me either way.

 

As long as it's not every other word, this dosen't even make my top ten things I'm concerned/curious about this new CD.

 

I believe that swearing doesn't necessarily have to be there to prove maturity. But if they want to do it and if it goes with the songs then I'm cool with it.

 

Whats the deal, it's just thoughts expressed in song...jeez...
anyway, you should brush your teeth and you should wash your hands yah know

 

Oh come on! You know they (C&M) curses like sailors at their concerts. Like we never heard them swear before. And kids are not dumb, they know curse words, cause they hear it from their parents!

 

that's actually a pretty good theory. but in most cases i think they say that "Extra Content Not Rated" on cd/dvd combos, unless they've changed it to where they have to or something lately...



oh, and maturity != swearing
