Linkin Park’s New Sound On Upcoming Album

XFM Radio (London) has provided some news about Linkin Park’s upcoming album and their new “sound,” here’s what the radio’s anchorperson said:

I had someone come in and play me brand new Linkin Park material in the wake. Someone from the management company. This is no lie. Came in to the XFM studio with a cop from America who would flown over with the one copy of the 6-track sampler of the new Linkin Park album and basically this cop’s job was to guard it at all times. This is the true story. It really was the case of the new material being on the lock and key. But it was really good and actually very different. If you’re one of those people who thought that Linkin Park have made the same album 3 times as far as their new studio releases go, I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised with this new one. There’s rapping on it, but not the kind of rock-rap type of stuff that Mike Shinoda has done in the past. And the track is going to be the first single. At its full-length is almost proggy in places. It’s very very good. Lots of take in, lots of new layers coming with the Linkin Park sound. And of course they have confirmed the full UK tour.
