JohnathanM56 Posted September 9, 2010 Posted September 9, 2010 Iridescent, in my opinion, physically rapes 99% of all Lnkin Park songs ever written. The structure of the songs is very familiar to M2M, yet it has the same energy as that of anything from Hybrid Theory. The lyrics in the songs are very emotional, and are extremely powerful, probably the best Linkin Park has ever written. The instrumentation is new, but it brings you back to that feeling of M2M era Linkin Park, with it's electronic beats, into a clean chorus, with the introduction of guitar, and then gang vocals, and even Rob doing one of his best drum tracks to date. The song is similar to SOTD in many ways, but is FAR more epic than SOTD has ever been. The song literally blows my fucking mind. Honestly, it should have been the last track on the album, since it brings the same energy TLTGYA did (gang vocals wise.) Now, a little back story here. The song that introduced me into Linkin Park was BTH, which up until just recently was my all time favorite LP track. Eventually I listened to M2m, Meteroa, and HT, and became a quick fan. My all time favorite songs were BTH and TLTGYA. However, Iridescent has surpassed both of them, and has made my love for Linkin Park 10000000% stronger than it ever was. In my opinion, this is THE best LP song to date. Now this is all my opinion, so please don't flame me for this I want to hear your opinions on the song. Starting... now! Quote
LPlover Posted September 9, 2010 Posted September 9, 2010 AW ! I was gonna make a thread on this one but no problem. In my opinion Iridescent IS the best song LP has ever done,. I hope they play it live cuz if they do and the whole band sings the chorus it will be the best live performance EVER !! ( This and Blackout ) Quote

LMK Posted September 10, 2010 Posted September 10, 2010 No doubt the best song ever.Along with Burning in the skies (my opinion) P.S.Iridescent has been played live along with the catalyst and waiting for the end in the secret KROQ show Quote

But thanks anyway lol. And Burning in the Skies is epic aswell. Hell, the entire album is epic as a whole, and as individual songs. Quote
Xero21 Posted September 10, 2010 Posted September 10, 2010 I like the song, but the whole gang vocal thing is pretty much a cliche in rock music now-a-days. Kings And Queens - 30STM and Wake Up - Arcade Fire are just two popular songs that have come out in the past year that use it. It still sounds great though. And I love how hopeful the song sounds. When has LP ever made music with that kind of vibe? Good stuff. Quote

When has LP ever made music with that kind of vibe? Good stuff. About the first part, I love he whole gang vocals thing. Although it does seem to be a big cliche. I think 30STM did a better job at that though. As for part two, I completely agree with you. Quote

MONDREUS240 Posted September 10, 2010 Posted September 10, 2010 Listening to WJ&L right before this brings the emotion of the 1st verse up so much! This is probably the best Linkin Park song ever written, lyrically and musically. Quote

JohnathanM56 Posted September 10, 2010 Author Posted September 10, 2010 i think someone said it was confirmed as a single Well I know that everyone is expecting it to be a single because of the sticker that comes with the album. Two of the songs on the sticker are already singles, so Iridescent has a high chance. Quote

LPlover Posted September 10, 2010 Posted September 10, 2010 If Iridescent becomes a single i'll give cookiesto everyone here Quote
JohnathanM56 Posted September 10, 2010 Author Posted September 10, 2010 If Iridescent becomes a single i'll give cookiesto everyone here yay? XD Quote
ChuckCheese Posted September 10, 2010 Posted September 10, 2010 If Iridescent becomes a single i'll give cookiesto everyone here FUCK YES. Iridescent is seriously my favorite LP song now. It's been From the Inside for years and years, but this song blows everything they've ever done out of the water. Quote
RiderSSPU Posted September 10, 2010 Posted September 10, 2010 Seems like I am one of only ones who thinks differently. I LOVE Iridescent but its my 2nd favorite LP song! Waiting For the End is my favorite LP song and possibly IMO the best song ever written! Quote
LPPRJKT4 Posted September 10, 2010 Posted September 10, 2010 Iridescent and Waiting For The End are by far my two favorite songs on the album. Iridescent for it's energy and it reminds me of Josh Groban's "You Raise Me Up," and Waiting for the End cause the lyrics describe myself really well. Quote
crusader25 Posted September 11, 2010 Posted September 11, 2010 If u compare Iridescent to Breaking the Habit, they are totally opposites of the totem pole. Breaking the Habit was a dark moody art that it was about being in the middle of a dark period trying to break free, whilst Iridescent is right at the gates of Hope, freedom of speech, respect and love that u let go of your past and everyday frustrations. I cant wait to hear this song live Ill give lp my vote to have this song as the thrilling conclussive single coz it deserves it! Quote
Pez Posted September 11, 2010 Posted September 11, 2010 Iridescent can only be summed up like this... Iridescent > Anything Linkin Park has ever made, touched, played, eatin, watched and so on. Seriously I would of never thought a song could blow me away like this did. If this doesn't hit the charts and do Well then this world is a fucked place! Quote
Kaleda519 Posted September 11, 2010 Posted September 11, 2010 It's my favourite along with WTCFM...I seriously cannot wait to sing along when they play this live. It's gonna be EPIC Quote

Sucre06 Posted September 12, 2010 Posted September 12, 2010 Iridescent one of the best songs on the album ATS Quote
