5-6 sounds great to me. But, I would really prefer to have more songs like BITS, for example, with Mike singing the verse (Not rapping) and Chester singing the chorus. Or vice versa.
5 I think there will be two rap heavy tracks and about three tracks were Mike has some rap parts, like in BID. But I hope (and I'm confindent) Mike will sing on many tracks and has at least lead singing vocals on one song.
Lost In The Echo - Confirmed to have rapping. In My Remains - Won't have rapping. Burn It Down - Confirmed to have rapping. Lies Greed Misery - I think will have rapping. I'll Be Gone - Won't have rapping. Castle Of Glass - Won't have rapping. Victimized - I think will have rapping. Roads Untraveled - Won't have rapping. Skin To Bone - Will have rapping/ Until It Breaks - Confirmed to have rapping. Tinfoil - Won't have rapping or possibly any vocals Powerless - Won't have rapping. This is just my opinion, but 3 songs are confirmed to have rapping as it is. So I'm guessing 6 of the 12 songs will have rapping, but who knows, could have less, could have more.
Don`t get me wrong, I love Linkin Park's new style and favour it over the old style. However... ... I really miss the old rapping.
