I'd be surprised if we saw anything different than Set A/B. Maybe POWERLESS, but that's it.

Chester - Papercut (He's said many times it's his favorite song from LP), Breaking The Habit (It seems to mean a lot to him), The Messenger (He's said that the song really relates to him and his kids.) Mike - What I've Done (He wrote it in one night, and seems rather proud of it), No Roads Left (One of the first songs Mike sang lead on, so I'm sure it has some value to him), Breaking The Habit (It took him so long to get the words for the song.) Brad - Bleed it Out (He's praised this song in the past), In Pieces (See Bleed it Out), The Little Things Give You Away (See Bleed It Out) Phoenix - ROADS UNTRAVELED (The bass has a really big part of the melody in this song), QWERTY (He came up with the original riff) Rob - No More Sorrow (Some of the heaviest drumming on a LP track.) Joe - Cure For The Itch (For obvious reasons), Blackout (The intro and bridge relies on him), Wretches and Kings (He has said in the past that he wants it back in the sets, but he can't control that.)

ROUNd 1 IS OVER LOST IN THE ECHO - 5 BURN IT DOWN - 4 Not surprisingly, LOST IN THE ECHO has lost. 1. BURN IT DOWN (Official Music Video) 2. POWERLESS (Abraham Lincoln Promo Video) 4. CASTLE OF GLASS (Official Music Video) My vote goes to BURN IT DOWN Elimination Tracker: 4. LOST IN THE ECHO 3-1. TBD

What I'll probably do is, after this one, is take the top 2 and do a full LP Video Election.

The LIVING THINGS album election is over, and here are the top 3 from that: 3. VICTIMIZED 2. IN MY REMAINS 1. CASTLE OF GLASS With that one being done, I decided to do a music video election for LIVING THINGS too. The rules are the same as last time. Here are the music videos you can choose from: 1. BURN IT DOWN (Official Music Video) 2. POWERLESS (Abraham Lincoln Promo Video) 3. LOST IN THE ECHO (Non-Interactive Version) 4. CASTLE OF GLASS (Official Music Video) My vote goes to LOST IN THE ECHO

THE ELECTION IS OVER! IN MY REMAINS - 6 CASTLE OF GLASS - 5 IN MY REMAINS has lost, leaving CASTLE OF GLASS as the victor! Elimination Tracker: 12. TINFOIL 11/10. BURN IT DOWN + SKIN TO BONE 9. LIES GREED MISERY 8/7. UNTIL IT BREAKS + ROADS UNTRAVELED 6. POWERLESS 5. LOST IN THE ECHO 4. I'LL BE GONE 3. VICTIMIZED 2. IN MY REMAINS 1. CASTLE OF GLASS

ROUND 8 IS OVER VICTIMIZED - 4 IN MY REMAINS - 3 CASTLE OF GLASS - 2 VICTIMIZED, time has come for you. 2. IN MY REMAINS 6. CASTLE OF GLASS I'm going with IN MY REMAINS Elimination Tracker: 12. TINFOIL 11/10. BURN IT DOWN + SKIN TO BONE 9. LIES GREED MISERY 8/7. UNTIL IT BREAKS + ROADS UNTRAVELED 6. POWERLESS 5. LOST IN THE ECHO 4. I'LL BE GONE 3. VICTIMIZED 2-1. TBD

I agree completely with what Skipees said. LIVING THINGS seems like a collection of demos from other albums, with the exception of CASTLE OF GLASS. LOST IN THE ECHO feels like a demo off of Hybrid Theory or Meteora. IN MY REMAINS feels like it could have been a revamped MtM demo. BURN IT DOWN sounds like a demo for New Divide. LIES GREED MISERY feels like a combination of Hybrid Theory/Meteora and A Thousand Suns. I'LL BE GONE also could have been a revamped MtM demo. CASTLE OF GLASS feels really unique, and I can't find a different album it would fit on. VICTIMIZED definitly feels like an incomplete Hybrid Theory or Meteora demo with an extra verse of Mike singing. ROADS UNTRAVELED feels like it would fit on MtM or ATS. SKIN TO BONE reminds of ATS. UNTIL IT BREAKS feels like a Fort Minor demo with Chester and Brad thrown on. TINFOIL/POWERLESS also feels like a mixture of MtM and ATS. It was very clear what they were going for with this album, they were trying to combine elements from all their previous albums into one, but it just wasn't executed as well as it could have been. I wouldn't say it was a "letdown", but it definitely wasn't their best.

Agreed. I like VICTIMIZED, but it's too short to be considered a full length song. I feel like it was made just to appease the old-school fans.

I always imagined the 'Too Late' chorus in place of the whoas. It just seemed to fit rather well.

ROUND 7 IS OVER VICTIMIZED - 3 I'LL BE GONE - 6 CASTLE OF GLASS - 1 IN MY REMAINS - 1 I'LL BE GONE is now gone. 2. IN MY REMAINS 6. CASTLE OF GLASS 7. VICTIMIZED I'm going to have to go with VICTIMIZED Elimination Tracker: 12. TINFOIL 11/10. BURN IT DOWN + SKIN TO BONE 9. LIES GREED MISERY 8/7. UNTIL IT BREAKS + ROADS UNTRAVELED 6. POWERLESS 5. LOST IN THE ECHO 4. I'LL BE GONE 3-1. TBD

ROUND 6 IS OVER! VICTIMIZED - 3 LOST IN THE ECHO - 4 CASTLE OF GLASS - 2 IN MY REMAINS - 1 I'LL BE GONE - 2 In one of the most surprising rounds, LOST IN THE ECHO has lost. 2. IN MY REMAINS 5. I'LL BE GONE 6. CASTLE OF GLASS 7. VICTIMIZED I'm going to have to go with VICTIMIZED Elimination Tracker: 12. TINFOIL 11/10. BURN IT DOWN + SKIN TO BONE 9. LIES GREED MISERY 8/7. UNTIL IT BREAKS + ROADS UNTRAVELED 6. POWERLESS 5. LOST IN THE ECHO 4-1. TBD

ROUND 5 IS OVER. Sorry for the delay, my internet has been out. POWERLESS - 4 VICTIMIZED - 3 IN MY REMAINS - 1 I'LL BE GONE - 1 CASTLE OF GLASS - 3 LOST IN THE ECHO - 1 In one of our closest rounds yet, POWERLESS is now completely powerless. (Sorry, I had to) 1. LOST IN THE ECHO 2. IN MY REMAINS 5. I'LL BE GONE 6. CASTLE OF GLASS 7. VICTIMIZED I'm going to have to go with LOST IN THE ECHO. Elimination Tracker: 12. TINFOIL 11/10. BURN IT DOWN + SKIN TO BONE 9. LIES GREED MISERY 8/7. UNTIL IT BREAKS + ROADS UNTRAVELED 6. POWERLESS 5-1. TBD

The fact that POWERLESS outlasted ROADS UNTRAVELED upsets me.

ROUND 4 IS OVER! POWERLESS - 1 UNTIL IT BREAKS - 4 ROADS UNTRAVELED - 4 VICTIMIZED - 1 CASTLE OF GLASS - 1 IN MY REMAINS - 1 In yet another tied round, both UNTIL IT BREAKS and ROADS UNTRAVELED have been eliminated 1. LOST IN THE ECHO 2. IN MY REMAINS 5. I'LL BE GONE 6. CASTLE OF GLASS 7. VICTIMIZED 12. POWERLESS My vote continues to be for POWERLESS Elimination Tracker: 12. TINFOIL 11/10. BURN IT DOWN + SKIN TO BONE 9. LIES GREED MISERY 8/7. UNTIL IT BREAKS + ROADS UNTRAVELED 6-1. TBD

I'd prefer a live debut. Songs that have been played before I can listen to. Songs that have never been played live I can't listen to in that way.

I'm guessing either COG or IBG. Along with IMR, those two songs are the only ones to have received only one vote from one person.

IN MY REMAINS has gotten one vote, and LOST IN THE ECHO hasn't gotten any, but that doesn't mean they will win. It just means that they are better than the tracks that remains. CASTLE OF GLASS and I'LL BE GONE also only have one person voting for it, so that would put it in the same league as IN MY REMAINS.

I hate to break it to you, but: UNTIL IT BREAKS - 3 ROADS UNTRAVELED - 2 It's losing right now.

Yeah, I was actually wondering if anyone was clamoring for STB to be played live. In my time here at LPL, which admittedly isn't very long, I've never seen anyone begging for Linkin Park to play SKIN TO BONE. I've seen I'LL BE GONE, CASTLE OF GLASS (fixed), POWERLESS, and even ROADS UNTRAVELED and UNTIL IT BREAKS, but never SKIN TO BONE. I'LL BE GONE seems like it would be easier to do live than IN MY REMAINS. I think the main issue with IMR was the pitch changing so drastically during the chorus. I'LL BE GONE seems like it would be rather straight foreword, but that might just be me.

I'm disappointed, but not at all surprised. What the hell? I see no issues with IBG live. In all honesty, I think it would be easier to translate into a live setting than some of the other LT songs (see LGM). I'm not really bothered by this. I was never a huge fan of the cover songs anyway. I could think of a few ways around this, like playing a stripped down version of it on piano or something, but I understand that there are other issues with playing these songs, namely in terms of vocals. Also, this bit really stuck out to me: "but we have other songs in mind". This could mean a lot of things. It could simply mean the songs they are already playing live, new songs off of the new record, or older songs that have been dropped. That could be interpreted in many ways. Chester said in an interview once that they wouldn't say no if it came up. It seems like it's for the best, as Mike is needed with LP for their new record. However, Mike working with STP as simply a producer would be pretty cool and definitely change things up with them and how they sound. Agreed.

ROUND 3 IS OVER. POWERLESS - 3 LIES GREED MISERY - 5 ROADS UNTRAVELED - 3 UNTIL IT BREAKS - 1 CASTLE OF GLASS - 1 VICTIMIZED - 1 IN MY REMAINS - 1 LIES GREED MISERY can go suffer all alone in its misery. 1. LOST IN THE ECHO 2. IN MY REMAINS 5. I'LL BE GONE 6. CASTLE OF GLASS 7. VICTIMIZED 8. ROADS UNTRAVELED 10. UNTIL IT BREAKS 12. POWERLESS My vote continues to be for POWERLESS Elimination Tracker: 12. TINFOIL 11/10. BURN IT DOWN + SKIN TO BONE 9. LIES GREED MISERY 8-1. TBD

Do you think that the penguins would be terrified of BURN IT DOWN?

ROUND 2 IS OVER! BURN IT DOWN - 6 SKIN TO BONE - 6 POWERLESS - 1 VICTIMIZED - 1 UNTIL IT BREAKS - 1 CASTLE OF GLASS - 1 ROADS UNTRAVELED - 1 LIES GREED MISERY - 1 With a tie, both BURN IT DOWN and SKIN TO BONE have been eliminated. 1.
