LINKIN PARK Has 'Over 100' Song Ideas For New Album

September 7, 2006

Launch Radio Networks reports: LINKIN PARK has over 100 rough song ideas in the works for its third full-length studio album, according to Billboard.com. Band MC Mike Shinoda said that the group continues to work on even more new material despite the wealth of songs it has now, explaining, "When songs are pouring out you don't ever want to stop that. We already have over 100 roughs for songs. We've narrowed it down since but we're not ready to commit to those yet. I can't really speak much about the style of the record but it's probably the most fun I've had recording a LINKIN PARK album."

Although the band initially announced that the album would be ready by the end of 2006, its release has now been pushed into 2007.

The new album will follow up 2003's multi-platinum "Meteora".

LINKIN PARK is working on the disc with superstar producer Rick Rubin, whom Shinoda called "a legend."

Shinoda's hip-hop side project, FORT MINOR, won Ringtone of the Year for "Where'd You Go" at last week's 2006 MTV Video Music Awards.
