I would say the same. Maybe this is the prove that they are teasing an album not a single.... Maybe.... Hopefully
Hope not. Hopefully single + album details next Tuesday. Prefer single to kick start the new album hype for real. Why rush the release?
I'm calling it. Single released on the 13th and album details on the 14th. Something big has to happen on the 13th because of the LPU TV testing image and it more or less corroborates @MiamiRadioBeast tweet saying we would hear it on Valentine's Day. Although not being released on the 14th, seems like he was forced to delete his tweets including the one just mentioning that he even heard the new track. Having a verified account and him working at a radio station gives him credibility.
I kinda have to disagree with this. With the depth in which they were describing the lyrical content, I don't think this video could apply to any Linkin Park album.
I'm predicting album will be called Ontology. Definition fits perfectly. Screen cap this. Ontology is the philosophical study of the nature of being, becoming, existence or reality as well as the basic categories of being and their relations.
I hope the teasers will reveal the new album's name and release date. It's too much hype for just a single release.
Just to throw in a random guess for the sake of it, what about Ontogeny, the growth of an individual to a more complex level. The actual definition is more about how organisms grow from simple to higher order creatures but you know it could be how a person evolves in their relationships through honesty.
If you reach hard enough you can literally make any definition fit anything you want. Just going to wait it out rather than speculate.
How about the idea that we are actually having the album name revealed (on......) as well as the tracklisting: 1: Piano 2: Honesty 3 : 4: etc.
To be honest I just find it hilarious how literally the most interesting thing about this clip is the URL.
I don't think the Url will simply form a word. Because that way, at the 5th video we will be able to guess correctly any name already. So the mystery is dead before the end. There's something more. An anagram, maybe.

I hope we get an album release date the same day the single releases, I don't even care about the single. Enjoying these teasers though, one of the things that came to mind was that they wouldn't all be music snippets, but also them discussing the album. Turns it is going to be a mix of that. As for the url, it could be one word or two words, or maybe it'll be scrambled to form a word. It could be the name of the single or it could be the name of the album, or maybe it's not either. Lol. Obviously, with each day it'll be easier to guess.
I like very much what they all said, especially Rob. You have to be vulnerable to be honest with yourself and with others. Having an open heart makes us vulnerable. But the best moments are when you can open your heart without being attacked or judged by others, but opening up with people around you who accept you, people that find that we all are basically going through the same problems in different forms. Revealing what you truly feel is a good thing, no matter what, we've all gone through the same mistakes. I like their thinking in this. It does remind me of their ATS period a bit. Time to prepare for some serious music. And I like that it is not necessarily political. The Wall by Pink Floyd was not made to be political, it was purely Roger Waters experience as a musician going through tough times, but now it is almost entirely a political album. Edit: I actually would like it to not be political at all but more of a spiritual journey, the thing we can all relate to is that we should all see eachother as brothers in these times of lack of empathy.
