Really? As in avaliable for sale or just shipped in? First confirmed release date is the 13th. Do you have a link to the tweet?
I think Mike mentioned in an interview that he was working on those 'indie-pop' demos around Nov 2013, and it was mentioned that when he started recording it with Chester, he told Chester that he is not able to get behind this music that he's making. After that he showed Chester the riffs of what would turn out to be GATS and hence THP was born.
I don't really understand what you mean by "hit the stores". The Hunting Party is released Friday, June 13th in Germany and Wednesday, June 18th in Japan. So no it's not being released tomorrow. If you meant that it's being shipped tomorrow then who knows? Discs are definitely already pressed so it could leak at any time. So yes, obviously a leak is possible on release week.
Here's a link to the tweet: https://twitter.com/ImAnthoCruz/status/475778088111181824 I think he meant it was being shipped. Here's atranslation of the tweet, because the facebook page which it's redirected to was dropped: "Tomorrow the new album by Linkin Park # TheHuntingParty hits stores in Germany and Japan" After that he says that will be a leak at the same day if possible.
The tweet means nothing and is pure speculation. The album could "leak" at any time now, because it's out on Friday. An official stream is also likely. Of course a "leak" is possible. It goes without saying at this point.
Oh I get it, the facebook page explains more but I could see it just one time than it dropped. I just thought it was good news and wanted to share with you guys.
Dammit I didn't even notice that he said it was leaking. It just thought it was being released since it's being released in Germany tomorrow.
Btw guys has there been any info about a 'Making Of The Hunting Party'- DVD or something like that? The LPTV clips were too short
I can imagine them tweeting something like: "Leaving Germany after two amazing shows. Left a copy of THP on an airport's locker in case you want to take a look"
