When do you guys think the first single will drop? I feel like they will go silence for about a month and then drop it sometime in May.
I wouldn't call it teasing, more like, let's show the fans we are sitting at a computer so they don't bitch.
Oh, but they will bitch because he's sitting at a computer instead of playing nu-metal riffs on a guitar
They should do a nu metal album with guitarzzzz and call it Hybrid Meteora heavy riffs yea . Seriously speaking now : i hope single in May , album in August
I'm assuming June for single and September for the album, but yeah, it's still a tiny bit too early to accurately predict.
My initial thought after watching the clip and reading the thread up to this point: I feel like attempting to extrapolate broader conclusions about this cycle's sound/direction from a snippet of footage, as tempting as that may be, is probably a bit premature. Realistically, the chords and rhythm that are being looped in the video could likely just be a basis on which to search for interesting lead sounds. I wouldn't be at all surprised if the end goal of what we saw was just to capture a few seconds of intriguing spontaneity that end up appearing once or maybe twice during the 2 bars of a track that fall between a verse/chorus or something. As additional speculation based on nothing in particular: What we've heard in this video could just as easily appear within or underneath a pounding/brooding mess of heaviness as it could in an entirely ethereal ballad. This is Linkin Park we're talking about.. results may vary.
