    Do you have the skills necessary to write a review of "Out of Ashes" by Dead by Sunrise?

    The official website for Chester, cbennington.com, has posted the following information:

    With the debut album Out of Ashes from Dead By Sunrise (featuring Chester from Linkin Park) still 6 weeks away from release, we want to offer fans the chance to be the first to hear it and publish their reviews. After all, it is your reactions that we can all trust the most. A few lucky fans from certain countries around the world will be selected to get to hear the new album before anyone else does, and then tell the world!

    If you think you have the literary skills it takes, please send an email to the addresses that correlate with your country and city below. Submit a writing sample that explains why you should be picked to review the record—maybe an anecdote explaining how you became a Linkin Park fan. It's up to you. Make it good, and you will be rewarded. The select few will be invited to hear the record at Warner Brothers Records in the following cities. Note that if you have to travel to these cities, transportation and hotels are up to you. You will be notified a few days after the 4th by email if you are selected.


    The deadline for submissions is 9/4/09, so hurry. Good luck!

    I might enter. I'd probably feel bad if I actually did get chosen though, because it'd be going to someone who is indifferent to the album for the most part.

    I'd love to go for lpa but the whole "must provide own travel and make hotel arrangements" part is a big turn off.

    Travel I can understand but I think if were doing WB a favor we should at least get a fucking hotel room.

    I'd enter even though I don't like the new song released by DBS. But then again I don't even live in any of those countries. I've reviewed for AP.net before, so I'd have a good reson to be chosen :D

    If anybody from LPA wins let me know, so we can do an exclusive report for the site.

    I would've entered but traveling in NYC = hell.

    it's so not worth doing this at all. the album will come out soon, might even leak a week before. why waste time just to hear it a BIT earlier than the rest of us.

    :lol: Just about.

    This contest just seems to be serving WBR more than it serves the fans to be frank.

    Yeah, I agree. It's a shame though, it could be a really good contest if they sorted transport and a posh hotel or something. Or even that you'd get to meet the band or something.
