NEW ALBUM, “A THOUSAND SUNS,” OUT SEPTEMBER 14
July 8, 2010No puzzles or hidden messages with this one. We’re excited to finally announce that our new album, A THOUSAND SUNS, will be released on September 14th.
The lead single for the album is called “The Catalyst.” It will be released on August 2nd.
Beginning tomorrow, July 9th, we’re teaming up with MySpace for “Linkin Park, Featuring You,” a contest which gives you the one-of-a-kind opportunity to be on our new album. We’ll be giving you some audio from “The Catalyst,” and you get to take it from there; you can remix the parts, write something over them, or mute stuff and write something totally new. We may choose a remix of the song, and put it on the album…or, we may choose an amazing keyboardist, string quartet, guitarist, percussion group, or other musician, and invite them into the studio to play on one of our songs. No matter what instrument you play, you can win. We’re open to anything good. All we ask is that you include any audible portion of any one of our stems in your submission.
Once you submit, the community (that’s you) will vote, and the most popular stuff will rise to the top. Then, my bandmates and I will comb through the submissions, choose one winner, and they will be included on our album, A THOUSAND SUNS. Check out http://www.myspace.com/linkinpark for contest details.
I think I’ve said enough for now. Thanks for your continued support. We’ve got more announcements coming, so keep checking LinkinPark.com for updates.

Pumped with excitement yet? 67 days to go before we can hold the new album in our hands and listen to their new music. Less than a month before the first single is out. I'm crossing my fingers and hoping that everything will go well. Do you think the new album will exceed everyone's expectation? What do you yourself expect in this album?
Also, linkinpark.com has a new design up for the new album. When you refresh the page, you will get different backgrounds that are portraits of the band members. Here are Mike's and Chester's
These photos along with the jagged Linkin Park logo seems to give out some interesting hints about the album's direction
The LPU finally put a new LPU TV episode up! Watch "Slowly, But Firmly" HERE, LPUers. For those who are not in the LPU, we have some screencaps for you with our favorite guys:
Chester showed the audience how to open the door the right way: slowly, but firmly, and right in Mike's face! Even though Mike pretended to be a little sulky and hurt, they were both happy puppies in the end.
Chester was weight lifting next to a very hard-working Robbie banging on his drums - welcome to the guns show! I'm sure some ladies will be pretty happy seeing this. The Delson hair was at its prettiest, and you can spot him on the phone (again) behind Dave. Frat Party At the Pankake Festival DVD moment, anyone?
