LINKIN PARK's HAHN: 'Making This Album Was Different Than Anything We've Ever Done Before'

May 15, 2007

Launch Radio Networks reports: LINKIN PARK releases its long-awaited third studio album on Tuesday (May 15),called "Minutes to Midnight". The band took more than a year to write and record the follow-up to 2003's "Meteora", working with producer Rick Rubin to create a sound unlike anything the band had done previously. DJ Joseph Hahn told Launch that LINKIN PARK experimented more on this project than ever before. "We ended up with 150 tracks to choose from, and a lot of it wasn't that greatest stuff, but it allowed us to discover what the new thing we were gonna do was, and we finally narrowed it down to the 12 that are on the album," he said. "You know, we had a lot of fun doing it. It was a lot of fun working with Rick Rubin. Making this album was different than anything we've ever done before."

The first single from "Minutes to Midnight" is "What I've Done".

LINKIN PARK will kick off its Projekt Revolution tour on July 25, with MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE and numerous other groups on the bill.

The band played a special concert this past Friday (May 11) at New York's Webster Hall, which was filmed and shown in selected movie theatres and on AOL Monday night (May 14).
