Chester Bennington, of Linkin Park, told Billboard that they are planning a conceptual record for 2009. My guess is that it will probably be out by late 2009. No need to worry though, Benningtion is coming out with a solo album within a few months (should be early 2009). He will be touring to promote the solo album, but notes that it will not get in the way of the new Linkin Park album.
