That's actually a really cool coincidence. But I don't think that they did this on purpose.

Well, they created a specific artwork for the song. So its more than likely going to be the second single, or at least one of them.

I think that they are cool. It has a different tone than most of his other verses. In a way its more "gangsta". But I can see how some people may not like it.

Wow, I feel like I know more about Linkin Park than Linkin Park...

If Victimizied is as heavy as they say it is, having it be a shorter track may not be such a bad thing. It's probably going to be this 2 minute explosion of pure energy. If it were a longer 4 minute song, there may have been parts where it dies down and loses its momentum.

It would have been nice just to have 1 longer track. But then again, quality, not quantity.

I'm not listening to any of the songs besides BID until the album comes out. So it's gonna be kind of hard avoiding these things. And the BID video was ok. The special effects were cool, but it wasn't as energetic as it should've been. Plus it was hard to see what was going on because of the blur.

These LPTVs are kickass! I can't wait to see more!

Lol @ Biebs cheering for LP.

* Note: This list will probably change for me once Living Things comes out. 10. P5hng Me A*Wy- I personally think that this version of the song far exceeds the original. Just like with some of the other songs on Reanimation, this remix was a whole reinterpretation of the song. Also, the Live in Texas version with Mike singing is very moving. It's definitely the highlight of the entire song. 9. Faint- This is the song that made me a Linkin Park Fan. I remember seeing it on TV when I was a kid and watching the video. I always thought to myself, "Why is the nerdy guy in the glasses so angry?" The song is full of catchy hooks and relatable lyrics, but its one of their most high energy songs . Once that string line comes in, you know its time to fucking party! To me this is one of Linkin Park's signature songs and should never be cut from their set lists. 8. With You- One of my favorites on Hybrid Theory and one of my favorite LP songs to play on guitar. The ambient and ghostly verses contrast very well to the high energy choruses. The pre chorus also has a very interesting melody that made the song stand out on Hybrid Theory and become one of my favorites. 7. New Divide- When this song came out it was my favorite for awhile, but that was probably because I was starving for some new LP at that point. But it has still remained one of my favorites. Chester's vocals on the choruses drive this song along with the catchy synth line and kick ass breakdown. 6. Breaking the Habit- This is one of Linkin Park's most emotional and moving songs to date. Its by far the best song on Meteora. At the time of its release, there was no other LP song like it. It pushed their limits and foreshadowed what was to come in the future of their career. 5. In Between- Yeah, you heard me. This is the most under appreciated Linkin Park song of all time. But in reality, its one of their most honest. Mike's somber vocals on this song make you feel like he is truly sorry for what he has done. The lyrics are very poetic and straight to the point. Its definitely not one of their most "in your face" songs, but thats what makes it great. It just starts off with Mike and a Cello line, and it doesn't have to have an unneeded crescendo to be amazing. 4. Blackout- I think this one is very self explanatory, we all know how kick ass this song is. With its aggressive vocals layered over a melodic yet powerful electronic section. The song goes all over the place. First, your listening to this very ambient, synth filled soundscape. Then all of a sudden your getting fucked in the face by Chester's god-like screams and scats. When you think it can't any more insane, it transitions into a breakdown of glitch filled vocals and kick ass drum beats. And just when you think its over, Mike hops in and puts chills down your spine with a very powerful and melodic melody. 3. The Catalyst- This is one of my favorite Linkin Park songs because it shows how much they pushed themselves while making A Thousand Suns. It starts out as this very abstract piece of music and then it slowly transforms into this powerful electronic rock anthem that still has that Linkin Park feel. It manages to push their boundaries, while remaining to be catchy yet aggressive. The "Lift Me Up" part of the song still gives me chills to this very day. 2. No Roads Left- This was originally number 1 and I decided to change it at the last second, but the 2 came very close. Anyway, the thing I love most about this song is Mike's voice. He sings it with so much passion and energy. I can also relate to it as well. It's lyrical themes of being screwed because of running away from problems, instead of fixing them, speaks to me, because of insecurities and self doubt. Theres a part of me that wishes this made it on to MtM and theres a part of me that doesn't. If this song made the cut, I don't think it would be as special. I kind of get a little bit of pride by having a favorite LP song that most casual fans aren't aware of. AND...... 1. Iridescent- When I first heard this song, it put chills down my spine. Hearing it right after WJ&L was one of the most amazing musical experiences of my life. That last line in WJ&L catches you off guard and it is the perfect setup for this beautiful, uplifting song. It gives you this combined sense of fear and hope, which is perfect in the context of ATS. The song crescendos from this desperate, deserted wasteland into a powerful rock ballad. Instead making you want to sulk in your sorrow, it gives you hope for the future and gives you the strength to do something about it. One of the many highlights of this song is the second verse. It's lyrics are so moving and are accompanied by a beautiful melody and harmony. The clash of Mike and Chester's voices are unreal. This song truly shows the great chemistry the two of them have as vocalists.

Did anyone else notice in the videos that Rob was wearing headphones instead of the in-ear monitors during the show?

+1 For LP listening to their fans about the set lists

These new LPTVs are awesome. More little videos like this would definitely be better than a making of DVD.

It's good to see that they're experimenting with the ATS songs now. And since theres gonna be an intro to WFTE, I guess there will be no more Jornada del Muerto.

Pretty cool encore. I don't think that the Beastie Boys verse would be as permanent as ones like APFMH or BITS. They might just play it at a few of the first shows because of MCA's death.

It is not until now do I realise how cool this scavenger hunt really is.

It seems as if theres less singing from Mike on this one, but at least he's rapping more.

*fixed

Most of the titles on ATS are my favorite, like Burning in the Skies, Wretches and Kings, Jornada del Muerto, Iridescent and The Catalyst. But I also like other ones such as, Points of Authority, Figure.09, Hands Held High, New Divide, and The Little Things Give You Away. Some of the new ones are cool too, like Lost in the Echo, Castle of Glass, Roads Untravelled, and Powerless

No one likes you

I keep telling myself that this album won't live up to my expectations like ATS did. But after reading this review, we'll just have to wait and see.

Thats because these puzzles were annoying and tedious, while the other ones were more like riddles, which are easier to figure out together.

Exactly. On MtM and A Thousand Suns, I can't find one pair of songs that sound alike on each respective album. Anyone who says that Meteora is a creative album is either ignorant, misinformed, or living in denial.

Well, he has vocals in every song, but some were in the background. The Requiem- Lead Vocoder BITS- Verse+ Oohs in chorus WTCFM- Rapping+ Chorus+ Background during break RB- Harmonies with Chester JDM- all vocals WFTE- Rapping+ Oohs in chorus+ Harmonies Blackout- Lead part at end W&K- Rapping Iridescent- Verses+ Harmony on Chorus Fallout- All vocals The Catalyst- Verses+ Lower octave in choruses+ Gang+ Lift Me Up+ etc. (at the very end of the song, there's actually a point where every voice is Mike, except for one Chester doubling up the main melody.) The Messenger- Gang at the end.

Dear Dave Grohl, you're argument is invalid.
