Message 3 - The Catalyst /// August 2

I'm looking forward to this album.

If MTM was any indication of how much they changed over HT and Meteora then this album will be welcome in my wma. library.

 

I'm with Joe on "A Thousand Suns". I have to know why it was used and what the actual music is like before deciding if it's a good title.
The music makes the title, so if the music is poor that's what the album title will be associated with.

No, he hasn't said it's done. He told Kathy they weren't finished in their private chat after she solved the "A Thousand Suns" puzzle.
As of yesterday they were still in studio.

 

Awesome. Just awesome!

Also I'm going to say I still think "A Thousand Suns" is a track instead of the album title. I see the album title puzzle (If there is one) being either real hard or as the last puzzle.

 

Wow, I can't keep up with this thread.

Funny how they're still in the studio, even though they already shot the music video for their first single.

My guess for the early shoot is that the music video will be heavy on special effects. Now that'll be very exciting indeed

 

Yeah, then maybe we might get an enhancedCD with the music video on it, like with Meteora

 

The band must be confident in their choice for the first single and music video to get shooting done. Now, have they actually finished the filming for the music video, or did they just shoot certain scenes such as the performance aspect of the music video? The music video must be in editing now though to be on schedule with their Q4 2010 single and album release. I like what Asua said, perhaps we're in for a dazzling visual display to complement the style of the new single.

 

What was it that that XFM guy said that it was "almost proggy" in some places in full length? What the heck did he mean by full-length?

 

Basically around 5 minutes long.

 

A 1000 suns..can that be some kinda background where d band are playin music in d new single..coz LP videos hav a gr8 background where the band is playin ....!!

 

Perhaps, however I feel they've learnt from their previous mistake when they released "New Divide".
"New Divide" debuted at number six on the Billboard Hot 100, however the single dropped sharply to number
39 the week after its release but resurfaced within the top 10 when the music video and the release of
Transformers 2 eventually premiered. Remember, it took several weeks for the completion of the music video due to
the fact that it contained many FX. Well that's my guestinmation

 

It could mean anything.

 

"There's rapping on it, but not the kind of rock-rap type of stuff that Mike Shinoda has done in the past. And the track is going to be the first single. At its full-length is almost proggy in places. It's very very good. Lots of take in, lots of new layers coming with the Linkin Park sound"

I think what it could infer is that it's a longer song, say 5-6 minutes, but has been edited down sick for radio play. That would be a very ballsy move on LP's part considering their track record with singles.

Total speculation, of course.

The thing that excites me the most is the "lots to take in" part.

 

Yes, lots to take in like one big nuclear BOMB!!! BOOM!
Okay, now I'm just being silly
