Chester speaks with FolhaTeen (Folha de S.Paulo) - Brazil

 

The group doesn't sound more as rap-rock, at least in the majority of the songs of the new record (single “of transistion” “What I've Done”, with launching marked for today, “Given Up” and “Bleed It Out” is the exceptions). Melodic, the album calls the attention for letters elaborated and some ballads, as “In Between”, about treason, and “Valentine's Day”. Of politics songs, the prominence is “The Little Things Give You Away”, one of the best ones of the CD, about the Katrina hurricane and the destruction of New Orleans.

Any news on how the album will be like, is awesome lol.

[littleblackstone]

[LPHybridSnax]

damnit... so that track list was right?

[Scotty B]

so it says

[Victim]

I am excitied to hear the song(s) dealing with polical issues/Hurricane Katrina, since it effected me..

[LP In The End]

So, we're only getting 2 rap/rock songs? :'( I just hope the album isn't full of WID type songs, it's just too soft imo + I like to hear Mike rap not sing

I second that!

[LPpinkfreak821]

I love what I've heard so far. . . . I just o.0 die at a certain thing that I wont even bother mentioning.

 

So those are some songs... huh?

 

thanks untitled.

[Friðbjörn]

no rap-rock...well that's them growing musically, changing styles and maturing as musicians. this is better than getting stale.

I would personally love for Mike to rap a lot, as on Qwerty, but if he's fine with minimal rapping and wants to focus on being the 5th instrument player, and still being the glue except now more instrumental wise, then I shan't complain

[LPShinodaFM]

I second that!

 

And I second your second. Which makes 4... right?

 

Anyways... two rap/rock songs? Gee, that's the worst news I've heard all day. I liked WID, really, I did, but there should be a bit more Mike songs. He's the goddamn THE GLUE! I really don't want him to turn into the 5th instrument player... Mike is like...everything :'( It's his Glue-ness.

[Friðbjörn]

he's in a way always been the 5th instrumentalist

maybe it's time he changed a bit...I'm not sayin quit rapping, but I mean good bands change all the time, maybe little rap now, and more on the next LP album...who knows

we haven't heard the whole thing yet

 

when they say raprock, perhaps they mean more in the direction of their old stuff, more rapcore. they could still make songs that aren't rapcore that still have beats that Mike can rap to...

[LPShinodaFM]

Yea I guess... lol. I just find Mike's rapping kinda define LP a bit more

[Friðbjörn]

can't deny that lol

[Part Of Me]

Does this mean that the album will sound even more different than WID did?

 

I just hope its not all soft, we need some heavy songs, dammit.

[Breakdown Conspiracy]

"What Ive Done" on Linkin Park.com

is still the shit.

[Linkin_lp_park]

I sure hope there will be screaming on the album:eek:

Or else it is really too soft...

And if the tracklist was right..12 songs, they better be longs songs then, come on, they had over 150 songs, and then 12 songs on the album?I hope the tracklist was incomplete then..

[Scotty B]

i agree with FRI i mean people are slating the album before it has dropped why dont you leave it will the release and then slate away if you need to

i really don't know what to expect:

Chester: Before, everything was presented the same way. This time around, Mike [shinoda] is singing a lot more. It may seem like he's not on the record, but he's doing a lot of the harmonics. He also sings a couple of songs alone. We're presenting ourselves in a different way. We've had a hair cut, clothing changes and, here it is, here is a new thing.

[Linkin_lp_park]

Yeah i love the haircuts, clothes, and mike SOLO, woot

[Jeezy]

It's gonna be interesting to hear Mike sing a whole song on his own....

[DarknessLover]

Well, I have enjoyed Mike, when he was there. But to be honest I have always loved Chester more. So hearing this album will be a breath of fresh air for all Chester Fans. And from hearing the intro of Valentine's Day, I think that is going to be a Mike S. song. It has that Where'd You Go feel to it.
