I'm gonna regret this one...

Linkin Park (Vomit) are set to release their third studio album, titled "Minutes to Midnight", on May 15th. The album was co-produced by vocalist Mike Shinoda and grammy winning producer Rick Rubin (System of A Down, U2, Red Hot Chilli Peppers).

The band has spent over 14 months in the studio and wrote over 100 songs. Bassist Dave "Phoenix" Farrell comments "We have put more into the new album than anything we have ever done before." Frontman Mike Shinoda sees it as "a breakthrough in the development of the band's sound. We wrote in new ways, and used instruments and equipment we hadn't experimented with before, from vintage guitars and amps to mellotron to Rick's original 808 drum machine he used on the BEASTIE BOYS first record. We tried to question every step in our songwriting process."
