RogueSoul Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 You've probably already all heard the second track from Linkin Park's One More Light, but now it's officially out! Cleanse your consciousness, because now you can listen to 'Battle Symphony' without any guilt. We know you listened. Don't lie. Don't worry, I won't tell anyone. In conjunction with the official release of the song, which is now out on all platforms (iTunes, Spotify, etc.), the band has also shared a brand new lyric video. Now you can learn and sing-a-long to the song as you listen. Because you totally don't know it by heart by now. The lyric video contains a lot of awesome cinematography (with some fantastic colors). Drone footage was used for the video, and some of the footage from the first photo/video shoot back in January seems to have been used in it. Watch the lyric video - what do you think of it? 'Battle Symphony' is only our second taste of new music from One More Light. We can expect at least one more song before the album is released on May 19 - probably 'Invisible,' as it was performed for a later showing at the band's show at The Late Late Show With James Corden. The band also performed acoustic versions of 'Talking To Myself' and 'One More Light' recently, so maybe we see those soon, too. The band will likely be performing a show or two very soon - they've been rehearsing A LOT - so we'll probably see songs performed live at those, too. They're heading to Germany in April to play the ECHO Awards, and we're guessing they'll play a show or two around there around that time. Lots of things coming soon! Lots of soons. Mike and Chester are currently in Toronto, Canada and Phoenix will be heading to Germany to do promo, so perhaps we'll hear some more clues as to when the band will be performing.

Stranger Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 I love this lyric video more than "Heavy" lyric video. This video has a story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeekShadow Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 Venice Beach at 2:59, considering it was on FM - Welcome video, is that a message ? FM CONSPIRACIES haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gorast Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 I like this song a lot more than Heavy. I think if they're going to do a pop album, it needs to be like this - lean into it. Heavy felt a little half-hearted to me, but this hits the spot. Hopefully the rest of the album has a feel similar to this track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xxHybridXeroxx Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 First time listening to it actually. Now THIS is a song I can enjoy! Especially love the bridge. Longer than Heavy and 1000x better! Heavy is a very subpar song compared to this, and I especially like the sound of the song, This is an album I'd buy if it had more songs like this, Heavy worried me, but Battle Symphony has calmed my nerves a little. BS=Good pop Heavy=Mediocre/Average pop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spraypaintninkpens Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 “We’ve been around long enough that music trends have gone away from us and come back. And right now, they’re away. Rock music has gone in this direction that’s like indie pop jingles. It’s like songs that could be on Nick Jr. and the Disney Channel. I can’t see myself writing music like that. I don’t want to follow that trend. Forget it!” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LP put Wastelands on The Hunting Party after saying prior to A Thousand Suns that they were "throwing out anything that sounded like Hybrid Theory/Meteora," but I don't see you complaining about that or calling LP hypocrites for it. ^ New personal policy of mine, I'm keeping the above text saved so I can copy-paste it every time you or anyone else cite this quote out of context as some kind of justification for your bullshit.

lpplus Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 I don't know why some people fighting each other. I don't like this song. but I don't care about other people opinion. I don't even care what you think about my opinion. If you like it, enjoy it. if you don't like it, just press the "next" button. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinez Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 I must sadly state, this lyric video is better than any released by the band music video since living things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soeffingnaive92 Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 Song is great, i want Chester to sing like this, lyric video is damn good. Just dunno why they didn t drop this as the 1st single ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LPExtremis23 Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 I can legitimately say that I really enjoy this song (that sample gets me hyped every time). Absolutely shits all over Heavy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hahninator Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 This is the best video by Linkin Park by far in a very long time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spooky Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 I really love this song. And damn, Chester his singing is really something else here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinez Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 There is no credits for this video, just wondering if in the video were used materials of the guy, who was previously make some shots by his drone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skipees Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 I usually don't even like concept of lyric videos in general since it feels too lazy artistic-wise, but this one is really sweet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GraDoN Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 This is the best video by Linkin Park by far in a very long time. which is a shame since I used to look forward to LP videos as much as the album during their early days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justin Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 (edited) Far better song than Heavy. Everyone is shitting on the instrumentation but I like the music to this song better than songs like War or even Wastelands. Simple doesn't mean bad. Loud guitars and fast drums doesn't mean good. To each his own. Nobody has to like this song or even this album as a whole. That's the beauty of Linkin Park. Just wait out this album cycle and see what direction they go in next. If history has taught us anything, the band will be embarking on a new style while taking indirect shots at this album in a couple years anyway lol Edited March 17, 2017 by Justin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LinkinMark Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 Listened to this for the first time today. I love it. Last time I smiled hearing an LP song for the first time was The Catalyst. I feel a bit better about how the album could sound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
