Linkin Park have just updated their official website with a new clip titled "Risks". The clip shows the band discussing the songs for the new album where Mike says he "wants to make the riskiest songs" suggesting they could use weird chord progressions or "the poppiest thing that comes to mind". Brad states they're at the point where they have a foundation of stuff that they love which now gives them the confidence to take risks saying "maybe it's a total fucking airball but maybe it's really interesting". Watch the full clip below. This is the fourth clip of a promised eight with all released clips listed below. Linkin Park Clip #1 - 'Piano' | linkinpark.com/o Linkin Park Clip #2 - 'Honesty' | linkinpark.com/on Linkin Park Clip #3 - 'Lyrics' | linkinpark.com/one Linkin Park Clip #4 - 'Risks' | linkinpark.com/onem The fourth clip has continued the pattern of letters being added to the URL with every new video, now showing "onem". This will continue over the next four clips and reveal something most likely, which most believe to be 'one month' at this point, possibly pointing to a release of the album. What do you think of the new clip? Let us know on the forums! Source: LinkinPark.com
Good, good these are coming in quicker than expected. I hope 'risks' means something in the Blackout mould.
So we are going to have songs that range from extremely poppy to weird and experimental(for LP standards). In some way that kind of characterizes everything pre Meteora honestly, lol. I just hope it turns out better than Living Things (which wasn't bad but very inconsistence in quality IMO).
Ah Agreed. To play this little game with us (which I like) only for it to reveal to us that in one month the album drops would be would really anti climactic. Im hoping it would have been the album title or something more fun. The living things reveal was more awesome
Oooooh boy THATS what I wanted to hear! Take risks, be crazy, be different and be creative. This update is totally getting me hyped all over again. Please let it be a concept album. Hope there will be another update tomorrow (cause thats what I expected). Maybe showing a little more of the sound direction. Btw, I think "one month" makes sense now. Or one blood, that would be killer. (Joke)
I'm almost sure is "One Month". I hope we could get the chance to solve a puzzle or something similar for the title in a more exciting and challenging way. Anyways, I love the fact that they are taking risks. I would kill for a concept record, and with this video my hopes increased a lot! And with the pop songs that Mike mentioned, I really don't have any problem. As long as the music is good... EDIT: LinkinTrump said that if the title wasn't "One Blood" he would accept to be banned for life. Funny how it really happened
Yes! can't wait for this shit. I hope we get some over 6-7 minutes weird tracks. #NoMore3MinutesLinkinParkSongsPlease
Honestly, I haven't even watched the video yet, and I'm already more excited than the other videos just because of their 'do whatever we want' attitude here. They're making whatever music that comes to mind instead of trying to force it to fit a certain mould. I feel like they didn't even do that with ATS because ATS was all about running away from Hybrid Theory. LT was about 'blending old and new' and THP was about 'bringing rock back'. The last album they seemed to do whatever they wanted on was MTM, and that is a very underrated album. I'm getting the impression this will be like MTM in the sense that it's a mixture of many different genres on one record. ...we could have an album in a month (assuming one month is what it'll spell out and assuming that's what one month means). How is that anticlimactic? People should be excited. That would literally mean we go from practically no news, to BOOM hype.
maby its 2 words just they didnt want us to think like that.. it can be On Empire , or it can even be not the correct order.. i just cant imagine the album comes in one month.
Probably because we more or less know that it's in fact 'One Month' only half-way through this supposed series?
