Mike's Solo Album To Be Called "Fort Minor"?

w00t my name is on the front page.

Anyway, I'm 99.9% sure that tomorrow on Daily Download Mike's gonna totally confirm this for us, the beat in the background on the site sounds pretty interesting, this is pretty damn exciting, and I hereby defend that LPA had this news before anyone, period, because Neil and I were the first 2 people to find it.

 

Woot, I feel like a little boy on Christmas eve all over again.

 

man that background music sounds pretty awesome, can't wait

 

I'd like to be the first to put out there what a horrible album name "Fort Minor" is. It screams Michael Jackson.

No really, I'm jazzed for this. 2005 is going to be an awesome year for rap. Well, for me atleast. New Tech N9ne, Two Canibus albums, and a Mike solo record. Damn right.

 

Updated the front page with a Fort Minor image (bye bye LPJZ )

 

im curious as to how you guys found this site.


Fort minor eh. Not sure about it but the website looks weird as lol

 

man i cant wait for the first album to come out..... i love the backroundsound!

 

Man there are so many great Albums coming out this year...I cant wait for Mike to show us what he is made of.



I wonder if Mike will actually go by "Mike Shindoda" or go by some other alias when releasing this album. Be kind of wierd if he did release it under an alter ego.

 

thats what i was wondering.

And i wonder why he called the website the name of the album and not the artist name like most websites do.

 

Well here's the story on finding the site, lol. I heard that Mike was going to be on Daily Download tomorrow so I checked the Fuse site and confirmed that, and there was a post on the LPU messageboards saying that on today's Daily Download they said something like "Mike Shinoda will be here tomorrow talking about his upcoming solo album Fort Minor."

So I IM'd Neil about this, and he was smarter than me and decided to type in www.fortminor.com and boom, lol. He ran a WhoIs check and found it was a Sparkart site registered to Mike Shinoda, and here we are.

Probably they were just watching Fuse and saw it.

 

This actually kind of makes me sad.. I was looking forward this year for Linkin Park to come out with new material. I'm quite tired of the side projects, I wish they would do something interesting and new together. I guess the solo album's pretty cool, but i'm not looking forward to it right now. If it were to come after maybe a new album they made, I might appreciate it and be more excited about it more.

They need to make a new record, I'm sick of hearing Hybrid Theory and Meteora over and over again.

 

I don't know, I think it's kinda selfish to say that you wish Mike would push the album back and for them to make and release a new record.

I think they're doing all these sideprojects (I'd hardly call a solo career a sideproject, anyways) because they've been with each other basically non-stop ever since Meteora came out.

Give 'em time. Then you can be disappointed again when the 3rd full length album comes out.

 

I agree, LP always takes awhile to sit down and record something new together but hopefully all these side projects and experiences make their next album all the more dynamic and a step up from HT and Meteora but meanwhile keeping the sound that makes them Linkin Park. Hopefully Mike's album lives up to the hype and provides something to tide us all over until the next LP album but I'm confident that it will and of course as a loyal fan I'll be getting it as soon as it comes out without a second thought.

 

I guess so, I just wish I could hear some new stuff that's all. Hybrid Theory is getting annoying, but I understand there is nothing I can truly do about that.

If Mike really is considering doing this solo project right now, that's fine because it's his decision and I respect that. I can wait for new material, I'm just stating that my patience is wearing thin. It's been two years since they've come out with anything new, so I can't quite help it.

But for now, I'll just be patient for a little while longer. Hopefully, as USAF.07 put it, all these side projects and experiences will make their next album all the more dynamic and a step up from Hybrid Theory and Meteora.

 

I can already see people comparing mike's solo album to the 3rd LP album when it comes out.
