New Album: Don't Expect a "New Divide" Sound

In a recent interview with UltimateGuitar.com, Mike explains that the new Linkin Park album does not sound like their latest single, "New Divide".

"The new album actually doesn't sound a lot like "New Divide," but it sounds great. We've got about 40 song ideas so far. We're trying to do something different from our other albums, with a focus on making some stuff that's more experimental, and hopefully more cutting-edge. There actually might be more rapping. I'm putting all my Fort Minor energy into the new Linkin Park album...you never know which tracks will make the final cut, but hopefully there will be more rapping, and some great beats on the new record."

He also states at the end of the interview that Chester's solo project, Dead By Sunrise, will be released in September 2009.
