    No, I'd rather have them release good material SOONER. It doesn't take a lot of other bands this long in between albums. I'm just saying that one of their goals for this album was to release it sooner. It's about getting better about managing time and song development.

    Agree about the Reanimation comment, but I was disappointed with MtM after a 4 year wait. I understand it was a transition album, but I expected a lot more after 4 years. That's why I'm not all gung ho about waiting 4 years for this one because it's not like we got an LP masterpiece. If a 4 year wait only nets us MtM quality material, I'll gladly take new material a few months earlier, especially since they WANTED to release stuff earlier. It's about getting faster with how they work.

    Chester has said "june 2010" at the EARLIEST and he even was reluctant when he said that..meaning that it's either likely gonna be late summer, early fall (or if delayed) early 2011. The band is taking their time.

    I've been telling him this on his Twitter for a long time. He's an excellent bass player, and could add such a dynamic to the songs if he added some unique fills or even some slap bass.

    I will agree that while I enjoyed MTM a lot more than Meteora, it felt too much like a transition album and I didn't expect it to sound the way it did. I am hoping this album is as 'insanely creative' as they say..because they're capable of it (Hybrid Theory and its demos are still creative masterpieces)...they just limit themselves sometimes.

    Where are you getting that from? I see it saying they asked for opinions from people they trusted and were told it probably needed another song. I don't see how that translates to "The label made us do it".

    In an interview a couple of years back they said that Warner said they didn't have a lead off single..thus What I've Done.

    I'm not stupid, I know he gave the source. But this source (mikeshinoda.com) does not state late 2010 / early 2011 anywhere. Nor does any other interview / report I'm aware of and the news post states it as a fact. And it is a made up fact.

    Unless you're talking about some article that I haven't read, that's wrong because here he said:

    "So I would imagine, I'm guessing even conservatively, that we'll probably have a record out by June of next year."

    He didn't say "at the earliest" but "by June", meaning somewhere between January and June.

    Just in case, I'm not arguing that the record will surely be out by June. It may be released in 2011, who knows. I'm just saying that you've stated that release date as a fact without absolutely anything to back it up, except your own speculations.

    Was that a bad thing? The idea to make a "bridge, transition" song and put it out as a lead single doesn't sound like Warner forced them to do something totally against them.

    The following paragraph has now replaced the original release date sentence in the news post:

    "No release date has been confirmed nor mentioned by the band as of yet, and the band has yet to reach the final stages of completing the record. We will keep you updated as more information becomes available."

    I appreciate you trying to make us as accurate as possible, but out of all the fansites out there I consider our site to be the most legitimate when it comes to news stories. We post drastically less rumors than we did back when we first opened, and if anything..we sometimes are slower in posting news. This is because we'd rather wait for official confirmation instead of go just off of 'what's been heard' or by using fan submissions without any source or backup. Sure to you; that one sentence in this news post may contradict what I just said, but considering how good we've been in bringing some exclusive news stories to you guys in the past...I feel we've done a good job. I'd rather be known as a site that can be trusted, and known for facts, rather than have LPA get the reputation of being the 'national enquirer for Linkin Park'. So if posting 'estimated release dates' are not accurate, than I will not do that anymore.

    Now, can we move on? I'm sorry if the above post was rude in anyway, but I feel far too much attention was given to that one little part of the news post, and not enough on the actual story itself.

    I thought the band felt there was something missing from the album and they came up with "What I've Done" as a result near the end of the recording process. But, fair go.

    There's conflicting stories. A few stories say warner, some say friends of the band said something was missing..and other stories suggest it was the band's idea.

    Hard to know without being in the band what the correct answer is.

    I think the band said something about making a song that bridged the gap between the old LP and new LP, and felt there wasn't a song that properly did that so they recorded WID.

    the whole "song to bridge the gap" thing sounds so much like a promo announcement for the song.
    i don't know it, of course, but that's what my view is.

    Ah. :) Well, each to their own thing.

    Regardless of the motivation behind its creation, I think "What I've Done" is still a good track from the band, so, yeah.
