Linkin Park select ‘Iridescent’ as next single

 

Since Linkin Park confirmed that they were working on new music, I kind of assumed that they had given up on releasing any more singles from their under-performing fourth album A Thousand Suns. Turns out that isn’t the case, with the band today confirming that “Iridescent” will hit radio on April 19th.

I had my heart set on something heavier like “Blackout” or “When They Come for Me”, but they’d probably just flop. “Iridescent” sounds like it could do well on Billboard’s various rock charts as well as the Adult Pop Songs chart, so you can see why it’s been chosen.

LP are currently on their A Thousand Suns world tour until September, where they’ve been writing new music with plans to get back into the studio.

    I love more “When They Come For Me” or “Wretches and Kings” but well anything that they go with I’m ok the album is pretty awesome, I wonder hos “Burning In The Skies” don’t blow? that song was like other “Shadow Of The Day” type of song and SOTD did pretty well on charts back then cause both songs are ballad-rock-pop type, anyway can’t wait to heard what they will be cooking for the next one.

    Hmm, I think there were some other cuts that would have been better selections for singles but, oh well. The album is incredible. I love everything.

    It took me A WHILE to come to appreciate the sound of this album. This song is the obvious single choice. It should have been the third single. I hope they also release “The Messenger.” Definitely not as good as their other 3 albums, but “A Thousand Suns” needs to be certified platinum at least once in the U.S.
