    looks impressive..an interesting step in art developing in general, compared to the previous album and single artwork/covers :)

    To me, it looks like someone is looking out a spaceship window and taking a picture off what's out there.

    That's exactly what it is. If anyone tries to read anything more into it, they're going too far. I'm not sure if it's necessarily a "spaceship", but let's say the person holding the camera represents Linkin Park, they're trying to capture "what is out there" as it's something new and exciting, but as with any artwork, you can't lose your own identity within the work itself, there will always be a piece of the author in there, and by having the reflection, that's what this is saying to me, but they've done it in a literal way.

    So basically, whatever they're trying to capture is something new, something they haven't seen before, but they're still Linkin Park, and will never lose that identity. Put that in regards to the new album / new sound and this completely makes sense to me.

    Joe that makes sense. I hadn't even read this entire thread when I gave my opinion.. I skimmed over it a bit though :lol:


    But I think you're right.

    With this art, and all these messages, any image Linkin Park release will be taken into Photoshop by the community to look for anything that may be hidden for as long as the band may exist.

    To me it looks like someone's holding a camera and he snapshot himself in the mirror. That's it.

    ^ Deep. o_O

    I'm wondering, when the album is released, are we gonna have to play around with the album artwork in the same way in order to reveal hidden messages?!?! =P Because that would be awesome!!!

    That's what dutchsoldier was saying earlier. The same image is in the Chester image from their website.

    Exactly. Which means it's actually laughable that it could be any sort of coincidence. The image of Chester is NOT a lens and thus it is not a mistake that the image is there.

    This is insane! Maybe it's just the same "mistake" as the coverart?

    I think people are taking this "mistake" thing too seriously. I'm pretty sure whoever said that was playing devil's advocate and making a joke towards the reflective image; simply saying it's possible that it could be a mistake, but believing it's not. This is definitely meant to be in the image.

    I was being a little sarcastic. I don't think this is a mistake. Maybe this is a faint image of the album art for A Thousand Suns?

    All these distortion lines really remind me of the first message. Maybe wew were looking at the piece of art and we didn't know it.

    P.S. I've just registered and I must say - this is the best LP site EVAR!
