There isn't, and I'll be thoroughly impressed if they let info leak like that for the millionth time. I'm glad it's finally happening for you.
with all the hype, i really hope this is a concept album, though i know it probably wont but i can hope right?
It didn't tell a story but it had a theme. I think mostly about mortality, corruption, and apocalypse (?). At least, Mike said the album didn't have a true story but it was a concept/theme. There's still a story arc IMO, or a beginning-escalation-conflict-resolution. Just with how the songs are sequenced.
This year is already so much better than last year. New Prison Break and a new Linkin Park album. Can't get better than that
If the first single is released in February, then I wonder when the album will be released. March? April? Some guessed that months ago, and that seems like the case. If I had any restraint, then I'd skip the single and just wait to hear the album in full, but I'll probably cave in right away. I think that will depend on how much longer the album comes out after the single.
I'd say in today's enviroment it can typically be done in a matter of a few days depending on the video. If a lot of CGI is envolved, it might take longer. But just recently, Metallica's video for Hardwired was recorded, edited and released within the same week. So it can be done very quick these days.
Unfortunately owning the LPA and AltWire I don't get that option . With a big act like LP releasing new material, this is our prime time. This is when people count on us 'get the scoop' so to speak. So even if I wanted to hold out, I sadly cant! You're right. It probably depends on the act.
I can see Linkin Park playing the new song at the GRAMMY´s (February 12th) They will probably release the song sometime next week and the video shortly after (a week maybe)
We're living youtube era, so it's smart to release the single with the video. You gain much more views concentrated on the same place... people will share the same link everywhere. This is why New Divide has so many youtube views, it doesn't makes part of any album and to be found everyone must search for it on youtube. So i'd rather wait a couple weeks for a video release on youtube than an audio release first.
Wow, this is great news! This (or something related) is what I was hoping to hear about sooner, rather than later. Lord knows what song will go with this video, and I don't think we can really speculate much on that one picture. The way the guys are dressed, it seems like a cross between hip and retro, or something (not really good with naming styles/trends, as I'm not very stylish myself ).
