I was just reading Derek's reply to my comment on the previous post(about the confirmation of the title) and then I refreshed the LPA page(I hadn't refreshed in 2 hours) to have this post pop up. xD The album art seems like a sequel to Living Things cause of the whiteness. But this is pretty cool. 2 more months. Which means that we will probably get a 2nd song in another month or so. Can't freaking wait!
Shinoda namesdrops CHRVCHES, Haim and Vampire Weekend again; they seem to be his go-to examples in describing the "state of pop music" and he's a little too insistent with it. We know that he's a fan of all of those acts and I myself am a fan of CHVRCHES. I don't like that he seems to single them out every chance he gets. I agree - it's really no different to how Shinoda has a background in illustration It's nice that he's advocating more aggressive music and whatnot but he's going a little too far. Maybe that controversy gets more attention but just saying "this is heavy, aggressive rock music, Linkin Park style" would have been fine for me.
Y'know, I was having trouble sleeping and for some reason I begun thinking "Ya know what, I think there's album news. I'm gonna check LPA." Damn straight. Love the cover. Love the title. Love the date.
We learned something new each day of this week so far. Collabs, song titles, now an official title with release date and cover. Speaking of the cover...meh
With that pic posted a few posts ago Nish probably saw the cover already but I just wanted to make description a lot easier: Carnivores art. White. Ghost Town Media.
i want studio LPTVs too but im disappointed from the GATS (Behind the Scenes of Linkin Park's "Guilty All The Same")
I could go on about how much I loathe some of Mike's statements in this interview, but at this point I've come to expect it. And I know everyone riding the hype train would feel like I was pissing on their parade.
That cover is too much for my iphone4 to handle, it won't load and killed my phone with its awesomeness. Awesome cover and awesome interview though
I like to think those particular statements are quite separate from the hype train. Personally, I'm no less excited for the new album
is it just me or does the cover look as if Linkin Park is ready to hunt down on all pop songs. LET THE HUNTING PARTY BEGIN!!!
As long as the music backs up the statements, I'm looking the other way at some of the comments. It bothers me too when he calls out bands by name because I'm feeling he's just pissing off people he didn't need to piss off.
Ehhh, I'm not really digging the cover. I can't be the only one who thinks that it looks like a rejected cover for Living Things can I?
