Now. Before I get a lecture about how LP are a sh*tty mainstream Nu Metal band, anyone who has heard their last effort, A Thousand Suns, will know it was one of the most randomly progressive albums to come out of the mainstream. It was brilliant, honestly, the only bad bit being the two rap songs (When They Come For Me and Wretches and Kings) but other than that it was a fantastic concept album about nuclear war and its effects.

Now, why I'm bringing this up now, is because they've just announced a new single. And although you can't judge an album by its single, I'm hoping like mad they continue with this style. They seem like a band who doesn't really care what fans want though, so they could go anywhere.

There is some more experimental sounds in their last cd who is very good and different from their previous cds, but it's not really prog.

Wait, you mean there are some people who still care for Linkin Park?
Excuse me, sir, do you have a moment to talk about our lord and savior, Neptune, god of the Sea?

I guess Linkin park will be considered as prog shortly after Blink182 would be added to the archives.

I'm going to saaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay
no

Also remember, "a little different" =/= prog.
Edit: Also, a concept album =/= prog  and nuclear war isn't exactly a mindblowing topic. Kudos for changing it from being emo though.

I am pretty sure that is the opposite of the truth. They didn't release another terrible rap-rock album because nobody likes that kind of music anymore.

Never doubt the potency of nostalgia.

I've heard they might be releasing a 17-minute long song with polyrhythms, 23 instruments, 4-voice fugues and crossed harmonies. I also heard the lyrics will deal with the goal of man on earth from a hindu-sino-earthly perspective, with emphasis on the environment and the achievement of full integration between one's soul and God Inti.

The OP is correct in that Linkin Park have made some very unexpected music. Minutes To Midnight is one of the biggest about faces a mainstream band has ever performed.
 
However, the problem is that Linkin Park are terrible. While I admire their ambition, they lack talent, songwriting skills and sense. Only Chester Bennington's occasionally superb vocals save them from being a complete joke and I have long hoped he would go solo.

Isn't that that band where people die when they play live?

Can't be much different from Prog Metal, they'd fit right in.
