Linkin Park: "This album is going to be insane"

"One thing that's making this album unique (so far) is the process. When we started out as a band, we often started our songs focusing almost entirely on the musical 'track," with no vocals until the end of the process. The vocals were usually forced into the existing chords and structure of the song, which often times meant that some ideas we loved never "made it," because good words or good melodies never showed up, even though we liked the music. Over time, we've started incorporating vocals earlier and earlier in the process, usually in the form of skat 'la la la" vocals and gibberish words. Many of those demos have been shared as a part of our LPU albums.
