New Linkin Park stuff!

LINKIN PARK PAY HOMAGE TO PUBLIC ENEMY ON NEW ALBUM...PLUS, LISTEN TO A NEW TRACK FROM THE SET

Linkin Park admitted that Public Enemy strongly influenced their new album "A Thousand Suns".

Member Mike Shinoda said: "I reference them in the song 'Wretches And Kings', there is a homage to Chuck D on there. It's probably the most hip-hop song on the record and one of the most aggressive, but it feels like nothing I've ever heard before."

"Public Enemy were very three-dimensional with their records because although they seemed political, there was a whole lot of other stuff going on in there too. It made me think how three-dimensional I wanted our record to be without imitating them of course, and show where we were at creatively."

"A Thousand Suns" drops next week.
