LINKIN PARK singer Mike Shinoda and guitarist Brad Delson posted a new podcast online late last week in which they answered questions submitted by fans and discussed the progress of the next LINKIN PARK album. According to The Pulse Of Radio, Shinoda said in response to a fan question that the biggest challenge of recording this new disc was that "we approached the process differently." Delson added: "There's a certain amount of experimentation and failure, essentially trial and error that's baked into this process. We've made so many records and we clearly know how to make a record and we definitely didn't take the easy way out this time." Delson continued: "The songs are shaping up so well, we just want them to be as phenomenal when we share them with you… as we imagine them in our heads." Shinoda told The Pulse Of Radio a while back that LINKIN PARK is a very collaborative band. "Luckily in our band, we've got a situation where, whether we agree or disagree, we sit down and we talk it out and we approach it like adults, and we also put our egos to the side and somebody can tell you something that's difficult to say and it's difficult to hear," he said. "And we all know that we're all coming at it from the perspective of making the best thing that we can." Shinoda and Delson also revealed in the podcast that LINKIN PARK has worked with outside songwriters on the new album, with Delson saying: "As much as we know how to approach songwriting, everybody does it differently so being able to like sit with someone and kind of pour ourselves into their process has been really exciting." The yet-to-be-titled new LINKIN PARK album does not yet have a release date, but will follow up 2014's "The Hunting Party".
