Interesting stuff about the 4th album and Given Up single

Here's an interview:

As Linkin Park prepares for its upcoming North American tour, frontman Chester Bennington is predicting a much shorter turnaround for the group's follow up to 2007's "Minutes to Midnight."

"We sparked a new kind of life into what we do during the writing of ['Midnight']," Bennington tells Billboard.com. "We want to keep that going. I think we're in the mode, and I have a good feeling we're going to put another record out really quickly."

Bennington says Linkin Park will be bringing gear on the road to capture ideas that come up on tour. Besides the North American jaunt with Coheed & Cambria and Chiodos that kicks off Feb. 12 in Omaha, Neb., the group is also planning to host another edition of its Projekt Revolution tour this summer; bands and dates are expected to be announced during the next couple of months.

"There was a long period of time between the release of 2003's 'Meteora' and 'Minutes to Midnight'," Bennington says. "Even though we did tour [for 'Meteora'] for two years, we didn't start working on writing ['Midnight'] until seven months after we stopped touring. So it seemed like a really, really long time to our fans and it seemed like a really, really long time to us. I don't see that happening again."

Bennington doesn't want to hazard a guess as to what Linkin Park's fourth studio album will sound like, however. "I never anticipate what we're gonna do," he explains. "I find that overplanning a creative project usually means you're gonna screw it up, so I really don't focus on what we're gonna do. When a song comes, I'll write it. When a song comes to Mike [Shinoda], he'll put an idea down. We just kind of roll with it spontaneously."


Meanwhile, Bennington says Linkin Park -- which just finished shooting a video for its next single, "Giving Up" -- is busy tweaking its production and repertoire for the upcoming dates.

"We're going to add some different production elements," he confirms. "We're working with some artists to develop some really cool video content -- the same ideas and elements from Projekt Revolution and kid of evolving those into a little bit bigger of a stage show. We don't like to do super crazy sh*t on stage; we just try to take very simple production elements and take them to their full potential. We like to have the focus of the show on the band rather than distract you with explosions and clowns and stuff jumping around on stage."

Wow. I didn't know all that stuff.

read that interview on a german LP website ^^

Lmao. Coheed and Cambria.
I hope their next album isn't like a remix of the album or something. I really want to see more from them. xD

So do I.

yeah, i read they were planning a 'quick' album. why is it that i have 12 LP albums and am waiting for the 4th to come out?

I read about the "quicky" but im afraid it will be qick & bad ;O
most things loose their quality when they ar done quick, they would do better to release their other m2m songs for the fans on a mp3 cd

they should just put out B-side albums so i don't have to buy things like under attack , E****ion , and the leak version of M2M.
New album idea:
1) No Roads Left (Chester)
2) In Between (Chester)
3) Leave Out All The Rest (Mike)
4) The REAL One Perfect Something
5) We Use The Pain
6) A track with Chester Rapping and Mike singing
7) The REAL Stand!

lol the in between chester was faaaaaaaaaake!!
i can do that too lol

i know but he did do it they just never put it out.

o then ok ^^
geeeez they have so much stuff in secret, why dont they release it!

so they have albums to release when they die! after everybody in the band dies, they'll have years worth of stuff to keep putting out!
Just like 2pac!

lol yea ;P BUT WE WANT IT NOW!! XD

Tbh, I hope it's not similar to like what Minutes to Midnight sounds like.
Iunno, I think they just turned softer. >.<;
NO REMIX THOUGH. I'll be so sad if it is. ;.;
