The Messenger

[dark_master]

Okay, this song deserves a topic. I don't know what's with all these people hating it, but I do believe it's one of the two best songs in ATS (together with Iridescent), as well as one of the best Linkin Park songs ever. The whole mix of soft acoustic guitar parts and rough vocals is just incredible. The lyrics are awesome and I can't believe what message the band managed to leave us in just 3 minutes. The perfect song to conclude the perfect album. What do you think of it?

I definitely agree with everything you said. If Linkin Park just went with the old-fashioned acoustic song, it wouldn't have struck as big of an impact with me. The rough vocals set it apart from most other acoustics, and the lyrics are awesome. I've wanted an acoustic track from Linkin Park from a very long time coming now, and I'm so glad that it's finally arrived!

I also think that this is one of the best tracks on the album a thousand suns, I dream to see the video clip for the song The Messender

This is the only track I didn't absolutely love on first listen. I believe the reason for that was that it caught me completely off-guard. It's so much different from the rest of the album. That being said, I love that song now and believe that every song on this album is among the best LP have ever done.

Is that Dave on the Cello/Violin at the end? I also hear harmonica in there as well.

[Jesper]

I love the song

Chester sounds awesome and yeah idk

but stuill think it is a bit weird after The Catalyst

[rsw2010]

I dont really like it that much. The vocals just killed it for me after listening to the first chorus. Not Chester's best vocal delivery.

[Ashwhisker]

The vocals are really weak in my opinion. Which is a shame because otherwise the song and the lyrcis are great.

This.

I found it somewhat annoying how his voice sounded as he sang.

This is my favorite song from ATS.

[mandarinmustang]

I think the vocals made this song much better than it would have been with a softer voice. It gives it much more passion and heart.

 

Oh, and I love this song.
