GraDoN Posted June 11, 2007 Posted June 11, 2007 i know its a long time till their next cd (if there is one) but i was thinking today... like we all know MTM got a negative rating on just about every review and many of the HC LP fans now hate the new lp. MTM had very good sales in its first week or two but we all know its because of the hype meteora got and i think MTM also had good promotion by the LPST and maby even warner. Now that MTM is out and ive spoken to many kids in my school who have heard it and their all saying "wtf happend to the old lp". cause eventhough most kids "dislike" LP, we all know what they do with headphones on at night So with that said if lp releases a new album people will kinda know what to expect and their sales wont be that good cause like alot of people said LP lost that vibe they had that made them so much better and different than other bands. Also the fact that they took 4 years to release a new album killed the lp flames in alot of people.... or am i wrong? cause i cant see their next album doing very well, or it will have to be something awesome and the first single will have to take the world by storm, cause eventhough WID did good it wasent a smash hit like some of lp's otehr singles. o well enough said Quote http://www.sucksbbs.net/data/MetaMirrorCache/095443c5f5914cdd05b1d389456c201e.jpg http://www.sucksbbs.net/data/MetaMirrorCache/8df3638f80a4f010e06ef2c959f426e8.gif http://www.sucksbbs.net/data/MetaMirrorCache/fe80ab99471398f0ef121d8f90c31038.jpg
LÎnkinPärkExtreme Posted June 11, 2007 Posted June 11, 2007 I think there next album will be better then Minutes To Midnight and will probably receive the same criticism as MTM but they wont go back to there old selfs of people would be like "wtf? is wrong with this band" but you never know with Linkin Park... That's all I can say. Quote
GraDoN Posted June 11, 2007 Author Posted June 11, 2007 no they wont go back, but i just hope they use hahn more and do something amazing. MTM was very good but they ned to release a "HOLY SHIT AWESOME" album to get back on track IMO.

xXMelancholiaXx Posted June 11, 2007 Posted June 11, 2007 I don't get it. They've been getting better and better with each CD. Meteora was better then Hybrid Theory and Minutes to Midnight was better then Meteora. I wouldn't worry too much about sales anyway a lot of the people who hate it are die hard old fans who want them to play the same songs over and over again with slight different chord arrangements. So I'm not worried about their next album as I'm very pleased with the direction they're going in. Quote http://www.sucksbbs.net/data/MetaMirrorCache/419f660d5f873320ab8475e194977ce5.gif
diana Posted June 11, 2007 Posted June 11, 2007 Well...I think there's no use in guessing since we can't know what the next album is going to sound like and when it's gonna be released...but I think it won't be soon cuz of all that side projects they have and stuff...

_deemy_ Posted June 11, 2007 Posted June 11, 2007 I don't get it. They've been getting better and better with each CD. Meteora was better then Hybrid Theory and Minutes to Midnight was better then Meteora. I disagree with that one. I think they've gotten worse as times gone on. They are still an amazing band, but none of their other albums have anything on HT. I think Gradon's right about the album sales getting worse on the next album however. People know what LP sound like with their new style now, so they'll know what to expect. They might have opened the door to a new audience with their new sound, but they've closed it to a lot of the old hardcore fans who feel in love with their HT and Meteora sound.

Scotty B Posted June 11, 2007 Posted June 11, 2007 i still think they will have good sales even with the next album because like you said they have closed the door on alot of the HT and MET fans but have opened up to a new generation of fans but we will have to wait and see Quote [broken External Image]:http://www.freewebs.com/scottyb1/GFXsig1.png PSP is like the innocent do good that gets stuck in jail and PSCS3 is like the huge (_insert race_) guy that rapes it and beats it up and calls it shirley.

It's like a magic round about haha :lol: :-P Quote
Linkin_lp_park Posted June 11, 2007 Posted June 11, 2007 Yeah they have new fans now, and you never know with LP, maybe their next album is again completely different (i don't think so) but it could be possible, so i'm just gonna wait and see, i really don't know Quote ιη тнє ѕιℓєη¢є σƒ тнє ∂αякηєѕѕ

LPShinodaFM Posted June 15, 2007 Posted June 15, 2007 I think it shouldn't be doomed. Fans come and go, depending on their changes and new releases. Quote
christal1414 Posted June 15, 2007 Posted June 15, 2007 i think way more fans are gonna leave linkin park then get into them since if they never liked linkin park in the first place why would they want to buy an album they never liked in the earlier years IMO Quote
GraDoN Posted June 15, 2007 Author Posted June 15, 2007 ya i mean... have ANY1 here met some1 who is a lp fan cause of MTM?

crazy robster Posted June 15, 2007 Posted June 15, 2007 I'll tell you what. Fans may go, every change has risks... But have you thought about those who are going to come? I'm not talking about hardcore ones who love LP too much (like you and I GraDon and many others here) who buy their cds and always love them no matter what. I'm talking about people who maybe thought LP were just kids that screamed and jumped around and now will start appreciating the new style. Don't forget that there ARE people who think LP has matured considerably and find this really appealing. I don't think the fanbase will implode nor that the next cd will be doomed. I just think that the type of fans will change. One could say that now LP addresses even some people with a more...let's say..."sophisticated" taste in music??? Those will be the fans that will replace those that will go. Maybe... Just don't find it absurd that some people prefer MTM to the other 2 albums. I know I do... Why not others too?

Lyson Posted June 16, 2007 Posted June 16, 2007 i agree with LPextreme. they are the kinda guys who wont be dissapointed and if they dont like the feed back they got from MTM then they will definately do a follow up...i hope...hope above hope.

C_Blade Posted June 16, 2007 Posted June 16, 2007 Thing is, they still have a huge audience. It's just a totally different audience. Which I guess is what they were going for, it just kinda sucks to kinda...leave the fans that they built up over two extraordinary CDs nearly 100% filled with good songs and then something in a direction that hardcore fans really don't like. But either way, I know my cousin, for example, likes this CD the most, but he's never really liked Linkin Park. He said they get too hard and he hates rap. I mean, that's disgusting how they can just go to a fanbase that's always criticized them. Meh, they'll do alright, I just won't buy their stuff. Quote
Friðbjörn Posted June 16, 2007 Posted June 16, 2007 no offense but they're not in music to satisfy a specific group of people... and they don't control who likes and who doesn't like their music, either Quote [broken External Image]:http://img259.imageshack.us/img259/2784/lpfas08mostintelligentym8.jpg

By_My-elf Posted June 18, 2007 Posted June 18, 2007 What's the point of this thread? really, who are we to say what the album is going to become in the near or further future. I mean they changed cause they want a new sound, why can't we just appreciate it their and leave it at that? It'd be better off if we just wait and see..... don't bother trying to argue with this not gonna reply anyway. Their not doomed...and if they are than well you know what happens.
