I'll try and do A Thousand Suns (8th Grade Honors Language Arts skills, don't fail me now) The Requiem This intro seems like a warning. The distant echo of the music showcases the world in shambles, and only one child-like voice can be heard, giving a final plea. "God save us everyone" It introduces us to the world post-A Thousand Suns. The Radiance Fairly self-explanatory. The track samples the "Father of the Atomic Bomb", Oppenheimer. The music has begin to slow down, as to showcase that this is the beginning of the end for humanity. Once the silence hits as Oppenheimer finishes his regretful tale of his part in the destruction of the world, we begin to go into our current time. Burning In The Skies Another fairly self-explanatory song. We are slowly destroying the world to help ourselves. We have burned and destroyed any possibility of going back to where we once were as a society. Back to a time where our destruction wasn't happening right before our eyes. Empty Spaces The beautiful sound of nature abruptly cut off with the sounds of war. Bombs, soldiers, gunfire etc. We are killing nature with these meaningless battles. When They Come For Me I'm going to ignore the obvious meaning of LP striking back against their old-school fans. Humanity is trying to run from its past, and avoid the consequences of the actions we have made. We've allowed corruption and selfishness take over society, which will inevitably lead to the collapse of everything we once knew. Now we are running, and never facing the consequences to what we have done in the past. Robot Boy The repetition of the instrumental and the monotonous singing in this track showcase that mankind has fallen into a cycle of mindlessly following orders from those above us. Somebody needs to stand up and lead the charge, but nobody is willing because people are afraid of breaking away from this cycle. Society has told us to lock away any personal feelings we have and just go with what everybody else is doing and not to question it. This, ironically, will lead to the one person who will stand up and rise against this. The Robot Boy has gotten the strength to lead, and this cycle will come to an end. Jornada Del Muerto This is where the atomic bomb was tested in WWII. The Japanese singing showcases how they were the victims of the first and only atomic bomb, and they were the demonstration of how devastating this weapon can be. "Lift me up. Let me go." The souls of the dead from this event want to move on, to let go of this world full of destruction. They finally are in the end, and now they may rest in peace, while the rest of us have to try and fix the world. Waiting For The End The track starts out with a man oblivious to what is really going on in the world, and thinks that they have helped it, not destroyed it. He wants to forget about all the pain and just throw his fist up in the air. Meanwhile, a man (The Robot Boy?) has trying to deal with the problems of the world, and is failing. He alone can't fix everything, despite how hard he tries. He knows how it feels to stand alone and try to fix the unfixable as he holds on to the hope that the world could someday be rebuilt. Eventually, the first man comes to his senses and helps the second man. He realizes how destructive mankind has been and wants to assist in starting over. He understands the difficulty, but understands that he needs to try, or humans won't live on. The end of the song shows how the two men battled over their opinions at first, but the second man convinced the first in the end. Blackout A man who has lied and cheated to get on top is the worst kind of man. Chester understands this and calls out all of those who have done it. He knocks these men down a peg, showing how egotistical and selfish these man are. He offers them one last chance for redemption before their demise. They take this opportunity and realize the life they have been missing, and how many they have been ruining. They begin to live their life as a good man should, helping others. Wretches and Kings Anarchy has struck. The governments are falling as the citizens are sick of the bullshit lies. People are rising up, and Mike is leading the charge. He is raising an army to fight. Chester is warning the wretches and kings that they are coming, and they won't show mercy. They have been beaten low for too long, and now it's time for payback. Mike then leads the army in a chant. "If you fear what I fell put 'em up real high" Mike sees the end of government, and wants to start anew. Wisdom, Justice, and Love Martin Luther King Jr. has inspired an entire country to do what's right. However, even the most inspirational of words can strike fear into the hearts of millions when warped and twisted. This is exactly what this song does. They showcase how words that were used to help, can be used to destroy when they are twisted to how someone wants. Iridescent This song showcases how alone people can feel in their final moments. However, it shows that you need to find forgiveness for those who have wronged you, and let it go. The souls from "Jornada Del Muerto" reappear near the end to tell you to let all the pain go, just as they did. It's ok to feel anger and regret, but you need to learn when to let it go. Fallout The end is coming close. The robotic voice from "Wisdom, Justice, and Love" slowly fades back to human as a final warning is given. Everything is coming to an end, and there is no chance for us to go back. We've burned the bridges that gave us a path between present and past. Now we have to suffer for our actions. The Catalyst Everything is ending. Final pleas are given from people struck with panic. "God save us everyone." Atomic bombs are being dropped. Now we are suffering for what we have done to this planet. There is nobody to blame but ourselves as the planet crumbles beneath us. The oceans are overflowing, flooding all of the coastal land. The chaos continues, until everything becomes eerily still. Just as the souls from "Jornada Del Muerto" realized, the only way to get away from the pain and suffering is to let go. The people realize that this is their fault, and they overpower the few naive people left who are still pleading to God to save them. Eventually, all the people who realized their mistakes and let go are free. The ones who didn't however, are stuck, forever pleading to be free. The Messenger There was one more survivor who realized their mistakes, but wasn't let go. He is the Robot Boy. He has overcome the cycle completely, and realized love is what keeps the world going, not money or hatred. Now it is his duty to spread this message to the rest of the new world. Now it is his duty to ensure this never happens again. There. Agree or disagree, that is how I interpreted A Thousand Suns.

I might change my avatar to that even without losing.

+1 (I vote C, in case it wasn't clear.) How long do we have to keep the silly avatar, if we lose?

Also, Hybrid Theory IN FULL is an "exclusive" to Download. They could drop one song and it wouldn't be under that label anymore. *cough*Cure For The Itch*cough*

Don't give Soul more reason to think I'm Mike.

Don't smack yourself. #CASTLEOFSASS

I know the Leave Out All The Rest stems are on YouTube, but I don't know about the others.

I know. A bunch of them go to my school. There is literally a girl I know who claims to love Linkin Park, but refuses to listen to anything heavier than In The End because it is "too scary". There is another group who claim A LIGHT THAT NEVER COMES is their best work because it is "so dubstep", or that the band has never gone heavier than LOST IN THE ECHO. I could go on and on about how much I hate less-than casual LP fans who claim to be hardcore fans, but it's off topic. One from each album, like Justin did. 1) Cure For The Itch 2) Nobody's Listening 3) In Between 4) Empty Spaces 5) BURN IT DOWN I've never liked the studio version of Cure For The Itch. I don't know why, it has just never been my cup of tea. Same goes for Nobody's Listening. In Between is just a snooze fest. The band should have replaced it with No Roads Left on MTM. Do I even need to go into Empty Spaces? I actually do like Empty Spaces, but not as a separate track. It should have been tacked onto the end of BITS, or they could have cleaned up the transition and added it to the beginning of WTCFM. I hate BURN IT DOWN with a fiery passion (see what I did there?) It's just way too radio-friendly in the worst kind of way. The lyrics are so child-like, they bug me a little.

It actually was true. I've had everybody here fooled. RECHARGED is the best album of all time, and Hybrid Theory and A Thousand Suns are the worst albums in the world.

I've decided to try and exclude instrumentals from my list. 1) In Between 2) BURN IT DOWN 3) LIES GREED MISERY 4) Hit The Floor 5) Nobody's Listening

After a very lengthy process of adding all the currently interpreted tracks, the index has been created.

Inspiration and boredom struck, and some ideas about a certain Minutes to Midnight song began formulating. Are you lost in your lies? Do you tell yourself I don't realize your crusade's a disguise This is clearly a political line, talking about the lies that politicians use to gain power, and how only a few see through it to how the politicians really are. Replaces freedom with fear. You trade money for lives This line talks a bit more about military, and how war is strictly business at this point. The citizens are threatened through the power of the military and the people in power gain from the losses of the poor. I'm aware of what you've done A call back to the first line, only a few people can see what these people in power are really doing, while the rest remain oblivious. NO! No more sorrow. I've paid for your mistakes This is almost a call to arms. The narrator is sick of the politicians walking all over the citizens and paying them to do so through taxes. The civilians have also suffered due to the mistakes of those in power. Your time is borrowed. Your time has come to be replaced Similar to the first half of the chorus, the narrator wants the people in power to step down due to the sorrow (SEE WHAT I DID THERE!?) and pain they've caused. I see pain, I see need. I see liars and thieves abuse power with greed The narrator can see all the wrong that these liars that have been put into power are causing to the trusting citizens. These people in power are simply abusing it to stay on top instead of using it to help people. I had hoped. I believed. But I'm beginning to think that I've been deceived The narrator had been hoping that these politicians would fulfill their promises to help the citizens and give them better lives, but they didn't, and now the narrator is seeing it. You will pay for what you've done The narrator is swearing vengeance on those who have hurt instead of helped the innocent through lies and greed. THIEVES AND HYPOCRITES! The narrator, again, showing disdain towards those who have lied and stolen to get where they are, and they can't be stopped. They have become what they have stood so strongly against, and the narrator won't stand for it.

After the "Valentine's Day Meaning" thread, there was some discussion on a thread where we could discuss potential meanings of songs. Well, here it is. I'm guessing Soul will have a field day here, so I'll just let him start it out (not because I'm too lazy to analyze a song right now.)

Valentine's Day really would have fit in well for the ATS sets.

It's true. They may drop a few songs, but keep others, like how they dropped Runaway and Crawling in 2012, but kept With You, Points of Authority, and A Place For any Head.

I liked the Tinley Park show from 2012 I went to.

If I were in the band/promoting a festival, I would also say that an awesome thing like this is exclusive. That doesn't make it true, and I doubt the band would rehearse songs like By Myself and Forgotten just for one date.

Mike wants to do a North American tour in 2014 according to an interview, so I think that we might get one in August-September, like 2012.

This set is made without the inclusion of new songs, even though they will probably play one or two. I'm also assuming there won't be an encore break. Download Set 1 1) Cure For The Itch (2014 Version) 2) Forgotten (2014 Intro) 3) Given Up (Ext. Outro [sorry Chester]) 4) With You (2014 Intro; Scratch Outro) 5) Runaway 6) Somewhere I Belong (Ext. Intro) 7) New Divide 8) BURN IT DOWN 9) Papercut 10) Points of Authority (Intro #3 w/ 'SKIN TO BONE' RECHARGED rap; Outro w/ 'High Voltage' rap) 11) Waiting For The End (Hybrid Intro w/ 'And One' rap; Wall of Noise Outro) 12) Pushing Me Away 13) CASTLE OF GLASS 14) Numb (Numb/Encore Lyric Tease Outro) 15) Breaking The Habit 16) In The End 17) Crawling 18) Bleed it Out (Drum Solo Intro w/ 'Reading My Eyes' v1; Ext.

Custom set time.

I'm guessing they'll do Hybrid Theory in full for Europe, then drop Crawling, Runaway, Forgotten, By Myself, Cure For The Itch, and Pushing Me Away. I also think they'll do France or Germany.
