Im surprised they didnt just stick with the sound that sold so many records. Good for them

Rick Rubin is the man, should make a good record.

Good to see them go in a different direction.

So now, there will be no album that will beat hybrid theory, in the nu-metal genre.

When I read the title I thought they were doing something like power metal or maybe even thrash, judging by the new track on YouTube. Hopefully there's some guitar solos for once.

i really dont like these guys.

i really liked their first album..when i was 13, good luck to em i guess

these guys used to be my favorite band. good to hear they are reinventing themselves. im looking forward to the new album.

"Classic rock and punk with "vintage" hip-hop beats."

Err... thats pretty much how I would describe new metal. (Perhaps with Metal in place of Classic rock)

of course they're moving away from nu-metal, so is every other former nu-metal band out there. metalcore (and fake emo) has replaced it as the music of angry teenagers, so their new album will probably reflect that.

hopefully it's as hilariously bad as Papa Roach's "Scars"

ive heard ppl outside of this site call tool nu metal, que?

I'll be very interested to see what they come up with.

Can't wait, hopefully it doesn't completely suck though.

I doubt it will sound too different from their previous stuff, though with Rick Rubin this could be a better album then their previous.

Im glad that they could admit they they have a "predictable" sound. Good for them... I dont like anything Linkin Park have ever done, maybe this next record will change my mind.

Too bad, I think Linkin Park was one of the only NuMetal bands out there that did it right. purely ones opinion though

I'll be interested in hearing this.

Imagine them becoming a trash band...=O

This girl I knew kicked me in the balls cus i hated this band. She's a freakin bitch

Hahahaha. That's hilarious.

I used to check their site for updates, and fans were enraged when they said they were going to come out with a completely original album, and then did the Jay-Z collab.
XD

lol teen rocker. this band is ok, i dont love them but i like a few songs. so far what i heard from nu metal isnt too bad, but i have no desire to check any of it out.

I look forward to it actually.

I hope it does go away from there other stuff Meteora was lame.but their ep is actually really good.

My gf likes this band, however I'm indifferent to them. I can enjoy the first album a little though.

Man, I'm kinda dissapointed that they are technically going softer. When I heard the news i thought/hoped they would be going for a more heavier approach. Oh well..dont listen to them much anymore anyways...since there CD with J-Z.
