Mike Shinoda stated in an interview with IGN that the new album will have in comparison to Minutes to Midnight a bigger "thread of consistency" and will also be more experimental and "hopefully more cutting-edge". Additionally Shinoda often mentioned in interviews, that the new album was recorded with the aim to be "genre-busting".

The other vocalist of Linkin Park, Chester Bennington, described A Thousand Suns on his twitter account as a very complex album with many hip hop elements and a heavy but also melodic sound. He also mentioned in the same tweet, that the album will combine elements of Hybrid Theory and Minutes to Midnight.

Some of the dates have already been announced for the tour in support of the album. The tour will most likely begin early October. A few revealed concerts include Berlin, England and Austria.

To build up anticipation for the album, Mike Shinoda posted several 'messages' on linkinpark.com, with the intent that fans solve them to gain new info about the album. These messages included an animation of white static with the message "MORE MESSAGES COMING SOON" as the final frame, a large block of binary code that yielded a quote from J. Robert Oppenheimer, leading to the album titled "A Thousand Suns", and two images that contained watermarks revealing titles and release dates for both the album itself and the lead single "The Catalyst". Furthermore they are holding a competition, where a snippet of "The Catalyst" has been released and they are letting fans add whatever they want to it and send their entry in and the winner will have their part of the song put on the new album "A Thousand Suns".

Alright, PoP. Linkin Park seemed to have chosen the best version of "The Catalyst" and the official preview is below. It will be released as a single on the 2nd of August.
