'Transformers: Dark Of The Moon' In Moscow: Linkin Park And The Green Carpet

MTV Movies Managing Editor Josh Horowitz is currently traveling in Moscow, but this isn't any ordinary excursion—it's more than meets the eye, as he braves cultural confusion and borscht by the bowlful in an effort to cover the world premiere of "Transformers: Dark of the Moon" in Russia. These are his stories. Much like the film I’m here to cover, yesterday was awash in loud colorful sensory concussions. But it didn’t start that way. It started with me wide awake at 3 in the morning watching Piers Morgan on one of the few English language stations in my hotel room. However once the afternoon came around events more than made up for the...

Transformers 3 soundtrack review

Artist Direct has a review of Transformer: Dark of The Moon soundtrack album. CD is out on Tuesday, pre-order here From A Thousand Suns, Linkin Park’s “Iridescent” finds solace in an airy electronic bliss before morphing into one of the most powerful refrains of the band’s career. Chester Bennington’s voice borders on heavenly as it rises along with the deep, dark orchestra of synths, keyboards, guitar, bass, and drums. Mike Shinoda spills his heart on the verse, matching Radiohead with a Thom Yorke-style expulsion of emotion. The song sees Linkin reaching another level of genius, and it’s the perfect kick-off to the album. The final crescendo would make Michael Bay proud in terms of how epic it is. Source : LPTi...

Interview with Chester on Metro

Metro has an  interview Chester where he talked about Linkin Park”s new electronic direction, playing a gig that nobody came to, and being responsible for all death, famine, disease, and poverty in the world.  How is the current album different from your previous ones? The electronic element of the band has come to the forefront. From now on we’ll do things we haven’t done before when we work on a new album – like doing a heavy song without falling on the obvious arrangements and distorted guitars. We’ll have to find other ways of being aggressive. When things feel like they could have been on a previous album, we’ll trash it. What inspired that change? It keeps our creative edge. We’re not a machine that makes the same tomato soup over and over again. For us, it’s like...
