About time.

Ive been a LP fan since Hybrid Theory, but have fallen off in the recent albums. Really hope this next one brings it back to Hybrid Theory/Reanimation/Meteora days......wont hold my breath though.

This is the first song in a while that ive enjoyed from them.

IMO they went down hill after meteora. Nothing has sounded the same after that. Minutes to midnight had a few good songs on it but, I really don't see them going back to how they used to be. Most bands IMO, when they "reinvent" their image and sound, never go back to how they used to be and what they were first known for.

This song is "ok", but, nothing exciting for me.

I wish they were still metal/rap like in hybrid theory and meteora. Minutes to midnight has a few good songs and a thousand suns was terrible. They changed their sound completely and it's terrible. Im listening to papercut right now and I think its so much better than this new song

I didn't really care for their past two albums either, but after i heard this a couple weeks ago I decided I'd go see them again at river bend in Cincinnati when the Honda civic tour rolls through in August. I have to say I've been to a lot of concerts but LP puts on one of the best live shows I've seen

Maybe theyll do a mix album, like they did with Reanimation, Collision Course (jayZ), they can do this album with all the Dubstep guys. Would love to see LP vs Skrillex, Deadmau5, Bassnectar, Rusko, Flux Pavillion, etc.

The new album is supposed to be a mixup of hybrid theory and meteora. I didn't buy their latest album. They really dropped the ball on it. But I'm hopeful for this new one. Totally dig the new single. Have the album preordered on iTunes, so it better be good lol.

def. didnt hear it here first, but anyways I've been a linkin park fan since the beginning and I'm hoping that they mean it when they said this album is supposed to go back to their roots! And I agree, they do put on an amazing live show!

I agree 100%! They are one of my all time favorite bands just from what they did from Hybrid Theory through a few songs in Minutes to Midnight. Everything after that is crap :-/ They just started getting too political after that and it ruined them. That's 2 things you just don't put together IMO, music and politics. Points of Authority on Hybrid Theory is still probably my favorite, or In the End.

Don't really care for this new song, sounds like junk.

+1.

Although Rage Against the Machine pulled off that mix beautifully (one of my favorite bands of all time :rockon:)

I agree I hope this new Linkin Park gets back to the roots of Hybrid Theory/Meteora, I want to relive my late highschool/early college music days!

Fooled me.

I thought this was a song I haven't already heard.

I've seen LP live a couple of times.. and best live performance/show I have ever seen, asides from Skrillex.

Favorite band at one point. Too bad that "point" was like 6 years agai when HT/Meteora was blaring through my head phones. I agree, this new album may be a step forward in the right direction. But since MTM, I'm not remotely getting my hopes up :/
