A.06 (Original Long Version 2002) - I really like this demo. Way better than the short demo we got on LPU 2.0. I feel like this song could write it's own lyrics. You can tell that the Linkin Park format is there and you can almost hear the words scream from the song. A-
Faint (Demo 2002) - I LOVE the raw guitar. The new(old?) lyrics are amazing. Its sad that Chester's chorus isn't there, but I imagine there will be remixes with it in there soon enough. All in all, a great demo. A-
Sad (By Myself Demo 1999) - This and one other song (we'll get to that later) are really the only low points of the CD. I enjoyed the intro on the song very much. I wish it was on the final version. The sound of the 'By Myself' is there but lack of a guitar makes it sound really weird and out of place. Its too short to get a good taste, but it is a unique and interesting look on the creation of 'By Myself'. C+
Fear (Leave Out All The Rest Demo 2006) - Mike is AMAZING! I still prefer the final version's lyrics, only if Mike sang The chorus lyrics are my new favorite Linkin Park lyrics. The rapping aspect of the demo would have been great on the final version. 'Don na na na!' B+
Figure.09 (Demo 2002) - This is definitely a more rocking version than the final version. I really like Chester's chorus, but the final version is way better. What really makes this song for me is Chester screaming 'No turning back!!!'. It sends it over the top for me. A-
Stick N' Move (Runaway Demo 1998) - This is the other low point of the CD. I'm happy we have it but, it doesn't add much to the CD. One good thing about it is the sample in the middle of the track. It makes it a short but sweet instrumental. C-
Across The Line (Unreleased 2007 Demo) - This is the best track on the CD. This is a key track MTM was missing along with 'NRL'. This should have replaced 'In Between' and 'NRL' replace 'Valentine's Day'. It kind of reminds me of 'In Pieces' but I'm not sure why. I can really hear the 'don na na na' in my head while listening. The scream is awesome! Great song! A+
Drawing (Breaking The Habit Demo 2002) - This is a great instrumental version of 'BTH'. Several key differences make this a great demo. The long intro sets it apart from the final version. The drum beats toward the end sound a little spastic, but still cool. B+
Drum Song (Little Things Give You Away Demo 2006) - Mike makes this song. His vocals are great and he should do a lot more singing in Linkin Park. The different drum beat is also sweet and adds a new twist to the song. I also like that the song doesn't really kick in till about a minute into the song. It really builds up the song. Great way to close out the CD. A-
