22. A Light That Never Comes

23. New Divide

24. Crawling (Reanimation Intro)

- I added Where'd You Go as a surprise song for the setlist to shake things up, and it would get a better reaction live compared to Remember The Name even though I included it.

Blackout needs to go. I hate to say it but Mike hasn't really nailed his section of the song either. Crawling and Given Up for the reasons everyone else has stated. Bleed It Out should be booted from the encore. Although they have done more interesting things with it than One Step Closer, I'm almost tired of hearing it at this point.

Track nine on a Linkin Park album has held the track with the most split reactions on a Linkin Park album for the past few cycles. Did you ever notice this trend?

It started with Valentine's Day even though that song was preferred a little more than In Between when that album first came out. People thought Blackout was either great, terrible, or only liked certain parts of the song. Skin To Bone was another love/hate track especially with everyone loving Castle Of Glass and Roads Untraveled much more. Mark The Graves stands as the new track nine and you guessed it; people either love it or hate it due to it's progression and lack of a strong point (AKA a chorus where it becomes powerful).

Hm. Let me see if I can give this a shot before I go stop Eggman again.

01. Numb

02. Castle Of Glass

03. Iridescent

04. War

05. Hit The Floor

you were to combine A Thousand Suns and The Hunting Party what would your track list be and what would the album be called? Mine is:

A Thousand Suns

01. The Requiem

02. Burning In The Skies

03. Mark The Graves

04. Keys To The Kingdom

05. Robot Boy

06. Jornada Del Muerto

07. Waiting For The End

08. Blackout

09. When They Come For Me

10. Rebellion

11. Wretches And Kings

12. Fallout

13. A Line In The Sand

14. The Catalyst

Album notes:

- The Requiem would include The Radiance making it one full length track.

- The crickets would be removed from Burning In The Skies

- Keys To The Kingdom would start without the glitched vocals only to serve a better transition. No need for shock value here.

- This track list gives the album a little bit more guitars, screaming, and more rap verses while still maintaining a progressive feel. This is why I added MTG, KTTK, and ALITS especially. They add heavy flavor while being progressive and flow well in the album

Do you think this interlude has a hidden message? We could take it as a kid who can't sing along to the song because of the language, but why would Linkin Park ever let us know that? They don't care. Maybe the comedy has something darker and more serious underneath?

Astat's post made me giggle haha "bullshit his way through the solo" it's true.

I'd like to see if they give Final Masquerade the piano intro from Drawbar. I mean it practically builds the song.

Meh's? Opinions are allowed but I didn't think this song was bad at all! I think it's the best we've heard since Guilty All The Same (Wastelands is close, in third place on my list).

Hey at least this isn't the other popular fan site where all they will do is turn this into a Meteora discussion and have a select group of people asking how many screams there are every other post.

"Unique" "limited to a thousand copies".

Might as well go "one of a kind skate deck, only a thousand made"

Let me give this a shot.

MINUTES TO MIDNIGHT

01. Wake

03. Leave Out All The Rest

04. Bleed It Out

11. Valentine's Day

12. In Between

13. In Pieces

14. The Little Things Give You Away

Still a little jarring with ballads and heavy songs back to back but I added a some more rap to the album. Mike sounded great in all of the Minutes songs and demos.

Very Hybrid Theory style vibe to it, basic structure but deep layers in both instruments and vocals.. It's safe to say that they've channeled a good deal of HT on THP.

This reminds me more of their Hybrid Theory Ep style mixed with a tad of Minutes To Midnight. I'm going 80/20 on that. Definitely would be the best "this is like a prequel to Hybrid Theory because of what we listened to at the time" kind of tracks.

This track is creeping in my favorites. I know this one could get old fast and if this was released in March instead of Guilty I'd probably be over it. Not listening to Until It's Gone has been a good thing because I'm kind of digging it now.

I don't see how this labeled as a Nu Metal track by fans. Give them this after three albums and around 10-15 ballad tracks and all of a sudden one rap/rock song is nu metal. Doesn't make sense to me. I guess "Bleed It Out", "Wretches And Kings" and "Lost In The Echo" were the OMG LP MAKES NO PROGRESSION Y NO 5 MINUTE LULLABY?!?! tracks of the past album cycles. Not saying you guys are hating, just well that other fan base..the um, I don't even want to say the website. You know, them guys.

This is war with no weapons

Marching with no stepping

Murder with no killing

Ill in every direction

No sequel do the math no equal

John with no Yoko more power less people

Lauryn said money change a situation

Big said it increase the complication

Kane said don't step I ain't the one

Chuck said that Uzi weigh a motherfucking ton

In the wastelands of today (chorus with ahhh's layered in the background to the key of the song)

Great song. Mike is sounding better and better. You should see the Youtube comments. People are saying his old personal writing is better. Imagine how pissed we would all be if the verse ended up like this:

This is war with no weapons

Tired of being threatened

I've been doing some regretting

The fault is my message

Do the math fear plus pain

Equals hatred with acidic rain and tear stains

Hahaha.

It's either Mike or Phoenix. They both have voices that can hit those notes.

They are just the worst tracks of each album in my opinion without counting interludes. I'm a fan of a lot of their new stuff and a lot of their old stuff.

Runner up worst tracks: Don't Stay, Powerless

I did one from each album;

01. Runaway

02. Hit The Floor

03. No More Sorrow

04. Burning In The Skies

05. Castle Of Glass

I enjoy The Rising Tied more than all five studio albums by Linkin Park. Maybe even six if I don't end up liking The Hunting Party (but so far so good!)

Definitely a solid Linkin Park track. Those "scratching" (not sure if that's what it really is) sounds in the background really keep this song from sounding stale. Mike's delivery on the verse is insane. His rhyme patterns definitely have stepped back into the Xero days, but maintaining a simpler vocabulary. This is Mike with his best swagger. Chester's screams sound pretty weak in this, but from what we've been hearing that's not the case for the album.
