"LINKIN PARK rapper Mike Shinoda told MTV.com this past spring that the group wrote something in the neighborhood of 60 songs for its new album, the band's first since 2003's "Meteora".
"When we were making 'Meteora', we wrote 70 to 90 songs to come up with the 12 tracks that are on the album," he said. "For this one, we're going to write more than that. We're about halfway into it. But it'll be out this year. And I can already tell that the record is going to sound a little different than our previous ones."
holy crap, why not just write 10 good ones >_>
