I now think it'll be-
1. The Catalyst
2. Waiting for the End
3. Burning in the Skies
4. Wretches and Kings
5. Iridescent
I'm 95% sure neither Blackout nor When They Come for Me will ever be singles.
Opener- The Requiem, Wretches and Kings or Foreword, Don't Stay
Main Set Closers- Crawling, In the End, New Divide
Encore Opener- Empty Spaces, When They Come for Me
Encore Closers- A Place for My Head, One Step Closer
I agree on Forgotten. Both the back and forth between Chester and Mike, and Chester's "In the memory" chorus, are super-catchy.
In reaction to the whole thread, you may as well just have called it "Why Hybrid Theory is better than A Thousand Suns".
If I had to "grade" the albums, it would go-
A Thousand Suns- A+
Hybrid Theory- A
Meteora- B+
Minutes to Midnight- C+

Do you prefer the-
Regular Edition?
Or Special Edition?
So basically, black on white or white on black?
I greatly prefer the special edition one. I chose that as the iTunes album artwork and for some reason think it's far superior.
My predictions-
Robot Boy will be played at about 3 shows, then be erased from the band's discography.
Old songs such as Papercut, Lying from You, Somewhere I Belong, Points of Authority, From the Inside and (possibly) Don't Stay will be rotated.
Burning in the Skies will become a permanent fixture.
The band will not bring back And One and I will be pissed off.
I believe it was played on the LP Underground Tour and Projekt Revolution 2003.
Either would be awesome- though Chester's said that they're never going to do Runaway live again, he really doesn't like it.
Is Papercut the ONLY Hybrid Theory song Chester likes?
I greatly doubt that they'd do ATS in full on a festival tour. If they're going to do it, they'll wait until their own shows because it just would not work in a festival setting.
I'd love to see it though, as long as they kept the extended version of The Radiance
