New Linkin Park Album


Just visited www.linkinpark.com. LP's got a new album titled 'Minutes to Midnight'. The album took a total of 14 months of rigorous studio time. Initially released on summer 2006, the band pushed back the release date to Monday, May 14. The band just finished shooting the video for their first single 'What I've Done', directed by Joe Hahn, which will be released on April 2.

"This was a year-and-a-half long process of really hard work and experimentation in the studio that yielded about 150 rough songs," guitarist Brad Delson told Billboard.com. The band recorded 17 tracks and is now deciding which ones will make the final cut.

The new album was produced by lead singer Mike shonoda and the multiple Grammy award-winning producer, Rick Rubin. 'Minutes to Midnight' will deliver "more of a stripped down, classic-rock, and hip-hop kind of feel," frontman Chester Bennington revealed in Blender magazine. Describing the album as "dark and spooky, poppy, and very melodic," Bennington declared his band is "straying away from a lot of the predictable sounds [it] had in the past [by] using vintage guitars and drums made out of wood and skin for a more tribal sound. It's definitely not nu-metal."

The full track list:
1. Stand
2. Bleed It Out
3. Get Through
4. What I've Done
5. In This World
6. The Little Things Give You Away
7. Hold Nothing Back
8. Over The Top
9. Prommise
10. Real Life
11. Afraid This Time
12. 2.World
13. Until The End
14. Collapsing The Unit
15. We Use the Pain
16. One Perfect Something + Bonus Tracks
17. No Way!

UPDATE:
They changed their genre... I like the old LP better, give me back the old LP... .
