My prediction of Linkin Park’s future:
They will release 1 or 2 more crappy albums which will likely be rip-offs of Radiohead or Sigur Ros (They already ripped off U2 and NIN so horridly, so why not).
The guitarist or drummer will quit the band soon afterwards. He’ll say some shit comments on the interview saying how the touring life sucked for him and his family, how Mike and Chester are pricks and so full of themselves and etc.

After their new album hits one of the worst sales record, they will hire Don Gilmore, their old producer again. They’re gonna contact Revolver, Rock Sound and Kerrang to talk about how the record companies and new producers messed with their heads, how rock-star fame can pollute one’s mind. They’re gonna claim that they are going back to their roots and create the Hybrid Theory sound again.
By then, no one will give a fuck and people will give shit comments to the new album whether it sounds decent or not. They will forever be remembered as pathetic middle-aged has-beens who are no good and just pretending to rock.

So, bon voyage, LP. Enjoy your Tour de KoRn.
