LP Album going to be released in 2007 Posted by Energy on 18 Aug 2006 10:47 pm

The 3rd LP album has been delayed yet again to the beginning of 2007. This explains the lack of LPTV episodes that are going to pave the way for the new album. The revolution came from the Kevin and Bean show, on Kroq, in an interview with Mike and Anna Shinoda."We were shooting for the end of this year, I think it's gonna be towards the beginning of next year actually. We're just being really careful with what we're doing and were having a type of fun in the studio. It's probably the most fun record that i've ever done; I'm having the most fun on this Linkin Park record that I've ever had in the studio. The Fort Minor record was fun and the Linkin Park records were a lot of fun, but we're just trying out things that... I don't even know what genre to put it in. I don't even know what to call it."This is a massive disapointment for fans, but in the long run it can only mean that more time is being spent in making sure that this album will be great for the fans.

La ni kat LPtimes.com pulak,

Re: the new albumi don't know yet. we're still working on it. we have narrowed it down to about 30-50 songs, and some of those are heavy, some are softer, and some are in between. origianlly, we thought we'd have an album out at the end of this year, but at this point we don't see that happening. we're doing really well, but we just need a little more time.
i don't know how soon...that's why we thought we'd play the new song live, to give you a little insight into how things are going. it will sound familiar, and you will recognize it as LP; but so far it has a different sound that i cannot describe. it sounds like it's older, but not vintage. more organic in some spots, like just yesterday we recorded a song with no samples that is completely raw. other songs are full of samples.
lots of variety at this point--but we don't know which songs will make the final album. this is the most fun i have ever had recording an LP album. it's been great. rick rubin is a great coach--he just keeps us pointed in the right direction, and we push as hard as we can. our music taste (LP and rick) are so eclectic, it's fun to work together.
Re: QWERTY the song known as "qwerty"(sounds like QUIRKY!!!) -- a rough title BTW -- is actually still in progress. we did those lyrics on the plane on the way to japan! i'm not sure if it'll make the album, but we liked the song enough to play it!
Re: Collaborationson the next album - collaborations? we don't really ever do collabos on our proper studio albums, and i think we're going to stick to that for now. we don't have any plans to work with other artists at this point.
Re: Balladsi thought "easier to run" might have been a power ballad. but not that we have any intention of making one--that's just what the song decided to be. but if you mean power ballad like whitesnake / poison / LA guns / boston, then maybe we're not ready for that yet.
Re: Genre of the new albumi just think the styles we're mixing right now are all over the place. we have really been pushing things outside the box. but even like my fort minor album--it's a hip hop album, but a lot of the stuff isn't conventional. the LP album won't sound like FM. but it has it's own unique sound that still sounds like LP--just different.
Re: Losing their fanswas it 3.5 years? it doesn't feel like it...but the xero song (reading my eyes) we played recently in japan is almost 10 years old, so i guess it's just a reminder how time flies...to answer your question i think the fans will be there if they like the music. it doesn't metter how long you're gone, if fans like what they're hearing, they'll be fans. look at green day or metallica.
Re: New Orleans projectthat's just starting. we're going out there september 7-12 (it's just after the one year anniversary of the hurricane)... for those who don't know, go to friendsandhelpers.org and click on the hurricane katrina link i hope you all can help out in some way--if you're in LA, drop stuff off at mr. hahn's shop (SURU on MELROSE) -- you can also shop at target online and buy stuff to be sent directly so go to friendsandhelpers.org and find out more. fort minor, linkin park, music for relief, nine inch nails, DC shoes, ecko, and others are supporting it. it's basically a back-to-school charity to get school supplies to the kids who need them / who were displaced by the hurricane
Re: Solo projectit was fun to do. i had a great time working on different types of music and doing my own thing. it was a nice break. the only disadvantage is that if there are any criticisms, they fall on me individually. but that's okay, i'm proud of the record and when people tell me they like it, that's a great feeling.
Re: Reading My Eyeswe actually just got the idea while we were in rehearsal. once we figured out the first few notes, the whole song came back to us. that was pretty cool, seeing as how we hadn't played it in almost 8 years maybe more? we actually had to download it online to remember how the song started!
Re: His lyricsnothing is fiction. everything is from real life. a lot of it is made of morphed stories that are part chester and part me, because we write together sometimes. since we're both writing from our own experiences, the ideas of the songs tend to blend together in that way. we basically just try to depict the root emotion as accurately as possible. for example: my memory of a fight with someone, and chester's memory of a fight with someone could have very little in common at face value. but the root emotions of maybe not being respected or feeling disappointed -- those are the same
Re: 'Remember The Name' singlewarner bros. is heading the charge on the REMEMBER THE NAME single...we think that it's a nice way to go out on this album--the song has been such a cult hit in the sports world, and people all over have requested it for other things. we're hoping to do a new video for it--the concept for it is really cool, i think. i hope that works out.
Re: His upcoming art galleryi am planning to do my first galley art show (exciting!) -- it will be in LA. i don't know the date yet, but i want to show all the original paintings from the fort minor artwork, plus a handfull of new ones. all the paintings are acrylic / spraypaint / ink on canvas, and range from 24x24" to 36x48" in size. there will be paintings from private collections (mostly from my bandmates) and a bunch that none of you have ever seen. oh yeah, and i'll give more info on that art show when i get it together -- details on fortminor.com and myspace.com/fortminor
Re: Don Gilmore and Rick Rubindon was alot of fun to work with on HT and meteora because he's really silly in the studio, and he makes great, exciting rock records. he has a very distinctive style rick is a legend. he's one of the most respected producers of all time. we can listen to a song one time, and immediately give you five things that you can do to it that will make it better. he knows his way around just about every type of music, and can really get your ideas and momentum going
Re: LPU 6 CDdon't know yet, but we want to make it REALLY good. more info to come, but i hope we can make it one of the best CDs yet.
(ntah hape yang si Mike cakap ni, tak paham aku. Aku pakai paste jer.)

Tah la ngape lambat sangat, dah masuk tige taun lebey dah ni. Aku yang tunggu pon dah naik fed-up. Fans yg lain pon dah naik fed-up. Kang aku ban diorang kang baru tau. Muahahahahahahahaha....!!!!

Merdeka????

Tang nak mai 31 ogos ni mesti dah ramai dok sebok gi gantong bendera. Ada yang satu rumah penuh ngan Jalur Gemilang. Bagus la macam ni, ada gak semangat patriotisme kat rakyat kita. Tapi, kalo kita dah merdeka, betul ke kita dah merdeka?

Cuba tengok kat KL, depa tu sume ada tak cam ikut cara penjajah? Pakai bukak sana sini, Mat Rempit, Bohsia, Homosexual, tunggang arak...budaya kita ke tu? Ntah, aku pon tak paham diorang ni. Sebut2 aje merdeka, tapi perangai mengalahkan orang putih. Apa erti merdeka pada diorang sebenarnya, hah? Merdeka daripada adat2 Melayu yang "mengkongkong" kebebasan jiwa muda? Merdeka daripada undang2 Islam yang ketat? Merdeka yang menjamin keseronokan nafsu semata2?
Ntah la, mungkin ni kot yang diorang nak. Inilah konsep merdeka mereka.

Tapi, kalo ini berterusan, apa gunanya perjuangan nenek-moyang kita membebaskan tanah tumpah darah daripada diambil sepenuhnya oleh penjajah? Apa gunanya perjuangan kita daripada dijadikan hamba di negara sendiri? (Cheyy, ayat patriotik siot!)
Hakikatnya kita masih lagi dijajah. Kenapa merdeka kalau minda dan jiwa dijajah? Oleh pemikiran Barat pulak tu? Sedih la macam ni. Patut la aku tak bersemangat menyambut 31 Ogos ni. Buat penat je pasang bendera. Buat penat je sambut countdown merdeka. Lagipun diorang malam merdeka apa keje? Merempit, Buat Maksiat, Minum arak, Black Metal. Berbaloikah kita menyambut merdeka bersama mereka sedemikian rupa? Think about it.

Tepak Sirih.... this project's downright sucks!

Another project coming in, snowballed with terror. Two projects in one duration. 8 weeks. No enjoyment. This sucks. And topic's even suck too.

Tepak sirih. What the hell is it all about? Are there anyone still chewing betel leaves here? No? I don't think the urban people would turn out to be a total 'kambing' to chew leaves as such, but I think there are some who does in the suburbs. Or some rural areas. Honestly, I never chew betel leaves before. How does it taste like, to eat on its own? Or when it is being mixed with kapur, pinang, gambir, so on and so forth?

Nowadays people put tepak sirih on the topmost of a cupboard. On a rack along with ornamental vases and porcelain swans, or itsy-bitsy cottages. Or being put in the forgotten corner aka the grand old cupboard meant only for old stuffs. Do people use it too often? No. Only on wedding ceremonies where we might have it in our homes (my turn! coming soon. maybe later.)

In thios project we have to be, instead to conserve, but to design, I repaet, design an innovation of tepak sirih to make it more.... user-friendly or creative or attractive or whatever. Danm, not another design stuff. Shit.

PC Fair @ KL convention center (the stupid crowd sucks!)

I went to the PC fair last weekend with my family. It was so crowded that I can't see a thing. Nothing really, even the intention to buy the stuff that I want has eventually gone. How could anyone just survive shopping spree in the crowd that is almost, liveless and more fatal than drowning in the sea? No one could. Especially those people who can't travel far, like my dad. I thought it was going to be good, but not. I wanted to buy myself a headphone, but to no avail. Crowds all over and we can't move an inch. Every normal steps that I take becomes smaller. And the most disappointing part is, the exit is further away from what we'd expected. There's not even an alternative exit, not even a shortcut, but just the long path of exhibitions that we had to cross towards the exit. Along with the freaking crowd that almost made me breathless. I was having a total, down right, head-popping migrain that the airless sea of people gave me. That's the worst shopping experience I've ever had. Nothing to see, nothing to window-shop, just the bunch of heads I could see.

And this is the best turn-out my mom has ever made in history. A duel between my mom and that stupid LRT-ticket-counter guy with no brains to talk.

Mum: What the hell you guys taking so long? How many hours do we all have to wait? My husband's (DAD!) sick and he can't take any longer to stay standing in this crowd!

The ticket guy: So? How about those pregnant ladies out there?

Mum: Then, go make some alternatives!

The ticket guy: What kind of bloody alternative do you want? Can't you see there are 6 counters here? (Me: You stupid guy! There are only 1 counter in this station and the other five is the vending machines! And that one is crowded, too, you fucking idiot!)

Mum: WHY should I think about it for you?! What kind of service is this? If you treat us this way, I will go report it to the authority!!!

The ticket guy:............................

Thanks mum, you're the man!!! My lil bro waited for the ticket among the exhausting crowd and at the end of the ticket purchase, he is not allowed to use the disabled entrance (or should I call it the shortcut for the crowd escape). He is told to go to the usual place to go out. I'm am so furious of this, WHY DID THE COUNTER GUY TOLD HIM TO SWIM IN THE CROWD? MAU DIA MATI KAA? YOU FUCKING IDIOT! TAK PEGI SEKOLAH KE?

Crowded fair, disrespectful LRT workers, and we're getting late for asar. That's the least I can recall for my visit to the fair. Lucky for me there will be another - in KAED!!!!

Uhuk, uhuk.....tak sehat, cikgu...!

Sejak dua menjak ni aku terbatuk2, ehuk!ehuk! teruk lak tu, ada kahak lagi. Ehuk!Ehuk! Tu pasal la sebab ada jerebu. KL gile baban teruk wehh sampai tak nampak apa-apa. Ehuk! ehuk! IPU terus meningkat menjejaskan kesihatan org ramai.

Ni dah macam tahun lepas la ni, time yg sama jugak turun jerebu. Tak tau la macam mana, apa nak buat kan?

Project#1: dah habiess???

Umm.... cam penat je, belanja punya la besar, loan masuk skit je. Cet, kedekotnye PTPTN nih! Nasib baik site visit dekat je tapi tol banyak.

Ni yang aku nak cite pasal tol ni....

Bodoh nyer Samy Velu! Dah banyak dah sangat tol kat jalan sini2. Jalan skit, tol. Jalan skit, tol. Bukan nye sikit, slalu kene RM1 lebih. Tak tau la apasal la Sami Velu ni mengada-ngada sangat nak buat tol? Sini tol, sana tol, mana tak pokai duit rakyat? Lagi parah minyak lak naik, kalau tol naik gak, alamak makan rumput je la. Bukan nye semorang kaya2. Ni yang aku naik minyak nih! Ni la kalo dah kerajaan buat perangai kucing kurap. Kerajaan yg tak menyenangkan rakyat. eceeh, dah cam blog pembangkang dah nih!
