even though the overall audio quality isn't the same, I think this video is much better than the myspace one in showing its live epicness... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X-au1nXqBSA...feature=related -Mike doesn't sound as weird/strained -You can hear the crowd singing along, amazing -You can see the band do the gang vocals, which I didn't know they did on the "God save us" parts -You can see Brad's shenanigans, idk why I find it so funny when he goes to his mic to do the vocals...it just is xD

Don't like the review, think it's bc it's BBC. However, it does seem better written than most reviews. i.e. the one from the New York Daily - that one was just bullshit

wasn't impressed with Mike's vocals on The Catalyst live BRAD ON DRUMS?!?!?!

I love Numb, but I want W&K!!!

"I may do other stuff on the side but I'll always stay with Linkin Park, it's my baby" I remember him saying something like this in an interview...

I have never wished I was Japanese or lived there as much as I do now ...

sorry for the stupid question, completely skipped over "sized large" when I read. In my defense, I was in class multitasking

How big is the shirt? Like what size is it? If it's smaller than a large, I might as well just pick up the normal edition instead of the bonus pack. /rant on hating being ridiculously tall and needing big shirts -__-

I've never trusted LPxDC He always seemed sketchy to me

since this is an unofficial release, and links are being posted, am I able to ask for an email of the files? I am on campus internet and they monitor for filesharing sites =(

The Catalyst performance plus Justin Bieber looking like a dumbass? Why are you all saying these VMA's suck? =P

Don't you diss Taylor Swift. She's hot. and... she's hot.

I didn't preorder, was gonna pick up a special edition at best buy But I have no car on campus =(

I think Condemned is the worst song, I just can never get into it. Fire - I like a lot, but do agree that the lyrics are corny. My Suffering - amazing

I saw Janelle Monaé, who's featured on one of the tracks, in concert a few weeks ago, she failed. I had listened to some of her stuff on youtube beforehand, and thought it was decent. Hearing the live set, it was obviously she used an extreme amount of autotune or something because she was horrible. However, "This is a Cold War" was good.

amazing video but I thought the line was "blood of innocents burning in the skies" ? guess I'm wrong then?

That's what I was thinking at first, but now that I've looked at it more, it stands very well as its own track. That's the same quote in which he compares it to the radiance of a thousand suns, right? (I know he's at least the same guy) If anything, I'd merge but keep it The Radiance and drop The Requiem.

Astat = win Question - On Iridescent, during the end with the chorus vocals, am I hearing guitar? It sounds to me like BIO's style guitar, but I can't focus on it because I zone out into the awesomeness of the song... As far as playing this song live, I think the songs have potential to be played on guitars rather than synth, if so, this tour will be epic, have possibly the hardest rock sound to it LP's ever done.

damn straight it stays, I forgot to add that.

with all due respect, I can't take any of your posts seriously while I can see Chicken Little dancing I really like this album, way more than MTM, however, you make great points in your review, one of the few true ones I've read here. As a Linkin Park album, not the best, as an album, it's pretty bitchin' . I also think the tracks all together as a single experience makes it that - an experience. Final note : Haterz gonna hate

Ok, after two full listens, I've come to this conclusion Favorite album : Meteora, ATS = #2 Favorite Song : Iridescent Least Favorite : When They Come for Me Wake > Requiem for Intro Fallout : sorta pointless and not up to par in quality BITS : epic Blackout : Was worried about this after preview, not bad Messenger : Powerful. That is all. Overall experience : It was seriously amazing, everything comes together very well, even parts I didn't like had their place Final thought : This is exactly what I wanted, new. Yes MTM was "new" but it just seemed to lack the Linkin Park quality of music. ATS has the same quality of HT and M. Final grade : 9/10 on LP scale (M = 10, HT = 8, MTM = 6-7) 12/10 on general music scale This has potential to be on my list of "love every track on album" list, still deciding

and I'm stuck in class on a network that watches for File sharing sites fuuuuuuuuuuuuu.....

But he kinda is for making an article that is more of a rant than a review. Very little is said about the songs themselves outside of him saying they're bad.

Personally, the reporter sounds like a prissy little "I want Old Skoolz LP back" casual listener. I'm surprised they didn't type it in all caps to show their rage.

You forgot "/flame"
