    Yeah, this was great. You could really see Mike's passion in not wanting to create boring songs again, I thought that was put across really well in this video.

    That's pretty cool, Rick Rubin seems to have had such a small role in this album. I think Mike will have the confidence to produce the next album on his own.

    These recent interviews really kind of paint Mike as the, like, mastermind behind this new Linkin Park stuff. It's interesting. :)

    That's largely because Shinoda and Phoenix are handling most of the press interviews for this new album, and, within that, Shinoda does most of the talking when they try to explain what the new album is. :)

    Loved the interview, thanks for sharing.

    I find interesting how the band keeps saying that when they were trying to came um with the album direction, they all had the same ideas.

    Also, 3:12: "badj-barh-badjmnmn,badjilion times!" xD

    I'll bet they all just said they wanted to make an album that was "definitely Linkin Park but definitely different". :"

    Made my day when he said "Bajillion."

    But I would like to hear these albums that apparently try to imitate Hybrid Theory. Because I sure as hell haven't heard one (excpet for Meteroa :lol:).

    That was an excellent interview. I hope all the trolls out there watch it and understand why the band is doing what they're doing.

    It kind of frustrates me that they have never utilized Phoenix's violin playing, Rob's piano and such into their songs. These steps could've given them such a major push, musically. But I guess ATS will have some surprises in that department.

    Yeah it is, I noticed it too.

    Yeah I thought it put it really well in this as well. I already knew like what he had meant before, but this really just simplified, and solidified it.

    Yeah I was thinking "I bet Mike will do the next one."

    Phoenix did a bit of cello on Reanimation, and Rob did a small bit of piano on it as well. But yeah I know what you mean, they haven't used them like that for any real substantial situation.
