Yeah, it probably is for the best. For what THP ended up being, I think Mike's rhethoric was a little bit over the top, especially for the fact we know LP could not make "visceral" music forever. Although... We can't say they've scrapped the yapping completely. People have already high expectations regarding the lyrical delivery, because, despite they talked little, the repeated that quite often. THAT will be looked at with a magnifying glass.
I'm OK with them using buzzwords. It's just a marketing tactic but I agree the whole "visceral" and "anti-jingle pop" stance was a bit misguided. Of course, I enjoy the whole lyrics talk more than, let's say, LT's "toolbox" term. I am worried LP's lyrics will be more of the same but it's just waiting to find out. The anticipation is killing but it's gonna be a good day when it finally breaks.
We expect a single right? Well they already shoot music video, preparing merch, And that Mike post on LP instagram? With that "triple 7"? Tomo will be 3 weeks exactly from that post and its a friday. I think tomorrow the whole album will be on iTunes, thats why they troll in these 3 weeks with shit like "that new linkin park song wow" etc...
Please, I need the new single, or another type of information like the name of the album, the songs or the length. Waiting for the news that never comes
im thinking the single will come out either at the end of January, or mid February, and the album will come out April/May
I'm just gonna go by the last 2 cycles and say it's a June release again. Helps me by not getting too overworked that there isn't any news yet.
The album is already done, so there's no need to wait until June for release, and also they're on a tour all June... March/April for sure.
