New singer: Emily Armstrong (from Dead Sara).

New single: The Emptiness Machine.

New album: From Zero, out November 15th.

This is a hard left turn from Destiny and Bungie talk, I know... but I'm pretty excited about this.

No, it doesn't sound much like Hybrid Theory, but it's good, and it evokes everything that they were while also adding something completely new. I mean, it's not The Year 2000(TM) anymore, so you can't go full nu-metal if you want to be competitive in the market. They did the smart thing and went in a different direction.

They've done genre shifts before. It's just different this time because there's a new member on top of it.

Well... there you go. I don't know if anyone here actually gives a shit, but I do. Linkin Park was one of my first experiences being a part of an actual fan community (along with Halo), so it's pretty exciting to have them back. No one will ever replace Chester Bennington, but we've all had time to process his loss now and the band members are ready to move forward.
