Too all the people who complain about Mike not rapping the bridge - they said the aim was to shock the people. It definitely worked for me since I'm a hardcore hip-hop fan
The emptiness machine reminds me of this so much for some reason, i think its the way its layered and building constantly with each section, just gave me the same vibe. I cant wait for the new album I'm so frickin gassed!
tenho o sentimento de que o from zero será um equilíbrio entre o minutes to midnight e o the hunting party, mas posso estar enganado. de qualquer forma, estou muito ansioso também, linkin park pra sempre 💜
This is AMAZING!!I have literally never been disappointed in any LP song, even their softer more mellow sounds. Rakim murdered this, I can't believe people are complaining about the fact that he had a verse and Mike didn't!Rakim is a LEGEND in hip-hop, his verse is incredible and very few rappers can successfully flow to a beat like this. Great song!!!!
Okay for those going "LP IS BACK" keep in mind that THIS song wouldn't have been possible if they didn't experiment. This song features drumming and guitar riffs that the band has never done, the unconventional song pattern and the biggest difference of all is that this is song and the upcoming album are both self produced. The band created their most innovative rock song without guidance, something 2004 LP would never have been able to do. So learn to accept that the experiments they did from 2007 is what helped them make this song what it is today.
Perfectly stated. This is easily my favorite Linkin Park album as it was the culmination of everything from hybrid theory through the experimentation and concept album of a thousand suns... perfected
Btw to people who don't know rakim he is one of the greatest of all time rapping since 1986 he revolutionized rap(when it was good) and created the intricate and internal rhyme scheme many rappers such as Nas and Eminem use.
The GOD MC RAKIM on a track with LP is dope. Anyone who doesn't know Rakim doesn't know what Hip Hop is. He's the first real Hip Hop artist. He's the reason the guys you like now are able to rhyme the way they do. He paved the way for everyone else and is considered the best in the game.
I loved the old stuff, and I loved the new electronic stuff. I consider myself a true Linkin Park fan because I follow my band anywhere. If this doesn't please the 'old fans' then they should stop calling themselves fans. This is brilliant.
Rakim fucking killed this. LP is always trying something new. Its rap, its metal, its rock, its electo. Every style they are known for trying. Mike is a creative guy; beyond creative, an true talented artist. Love or hate his music, his passion and love for what he does is unchallenged by anyone of this era. If I ever wanted to make it in music, Shinoda would be the first guy I would ask to talk to.
kinda sad that some people don't recognize nor appreciate the legend that is Rakim on this track.. he did amazing!! Linkin Park did amazing as always although this song (even though it's more guitar heavy) is a bit of a different sound than what they normally do, but it's good. I love it!!! In the years since they came out it always amazes me how Linkin Park can change up their sound a bit on each album and still sound awesome!!!
He is awesome on the track, but this isn't a hip hop song. I would have preferred Mike Shinoda on this track. Maybe it's just that I'm used to listening to his voice after Chester sings the chorus...or maybe he sounds awesome when guitar's are playing in the background.
For those who all say that some of their previous albums were a disappointment: Tell us all again What you think we should be What the answers are What it is we can't see Tell us all again How to do what you say How to fall in line How there's no other way But oh, we all know You're guilty all the same Too sick to be ashamed You want to point your finger But there's no one else to blame I think, this is a message for the stupid LP-fans.
And it also ties in very nicely with the album's narrative. It has so many meanings and it makes so much more sense in a full album listen. Right after All For Nothing, this is a great follow up.
All the people saying "yes the old Linkin Park is back", pff I'm just glad they keep coming out with more and more music, maybe I'm a fan boy, but I love all their albums.
Colby Fraser you're going to feel lots of heat for saying that, but I can agree with the fact that its been more mature. Chester and Mike have already said when asked why they dont sing their old style anymore, "Dude Im like 30 years old, its not the age of the angsty punk". Plus I mean it was different but still good.
Back then I was an LPSoldier after I was introduced to edm I wasn't really listening to Linkin Park anymore til I heard this song I was like wow I was amazed on how awesome this song is. After listening to this song...thoughts came in to my mind..I pondered,is Linkin Park going back to their old "Hybrid Theory style"? Hmmmm....
A lot of people are saying Chester's voice sounds "weak" here. I think there is a reason for this. In 90% of LP songs there are multiple layers of vocals with either Mike providing harmonies under Chester or Chester's own voice recorded in higher and lower octaves than the main vocal. This tends to beef up Chester's voice and support it greatly. Listen to Powerless, No More Sorrow, etc. With the exception of the verses, this song has no backing vocals. Just Chester's main vocal carrying the song every chorus.
and no reverb, no delay, etc. there are a few harmonies, but i highly doubt the track will sound like this on the album. self produced or not, the production quality is weak for shinoda's standards, i really hope this is a rough mix. "self produced" or "getting back to the real shit" does not have to imply a sacrifice of fidelity IMO. dope track tho.
YES, I've missed the heavier sound Linkin Park had. Not that I don't like their other songs, but this is just fantastic! I'm SO excited for more new songs in this style :3
According to Mike this is the DNA of the new album and they said they'v returned to the roots,..here i found elements form points of authority (HT)figure 9 (Meteora)given up, no more sorrow, across the line(MTM)victimized(LT).they did experiments 4 all the past 7 years(SINCE MTM 2007).Now this is the result.This is a very wholesome blend of all those efforts.most of the fans got sick of those past works though. nothing can be achieved with all +(ve) results and feed backs.i'm proud of my self about being with them all the time. AND DON"T WORRY ABOUT THIS RAP PART MIKE'L B THERE ALL OVER THE NEW RECORD. I MISS HIM TOO.LP 4 EVER.
I'm glad that the band decide to put a legendary rapper like Rakim and Not Bullshit like 2 Chainz, Lil Wayne or Big Sean, Nice Joint Linkin Park, can't wait for more shit like This!
I'll say it again cause people obviously don't get it. Recharged was a remix album just like Reanimation it was not meant to be new album status like Living Things. It was for fun so to speak. Second they do what they please and do it cause they love what they do, if they did it to please people and not for their love for music they would be sell outs. I love everything they have made even the collaboration with Jay-Z cause it speaks to us fans and touches our souls cause it some way or another they can relate to this world unlike people that just talk about parties and getting wasted in their songs. They speak a form of truth that we all have faced once before in our lives. They break barriers and show the world that they do what they please with their music. When I heard they're bringing guitars back I just had to hear it and I'm pleased. They're talking about something big in this song and we should all listen to the meaning. Great shit once again. LP for life baby!!!
remember everyone! if you want them to keep the metal style, you better buy the album and give them your money! or else this isn't gonna look good for them.
This is what I like about LINKIN PARK, they don't give a fuck what image or genre they are, they just make good songs, Rock, Rap, Electronic, Metal, Melodic. Just every song they make is crafted to give you whatever emotion they were intended, Pumped, Reflective, Sad, Pissed and they're just amazing artist. I just bought tickets for the carnivores tour and I literally can't wait anymore for them to come to Dallas this fall. IM SO FUCKING EXCITED RIGHT NOW
This is Linkin Park going back to basics of guitars drums and basses, yet keeping it fresh for todays music scene. I can hear some Avenged sevenfold at 0:57 onwards and Soundgarden at the end, and yet this sounds like it could still appeal to wider audiences. Kudos LP, you got it right this time.
BTW they're not "back". They never left. LP deserves praise for trying out new things all the time. PLUS if you've been to a concert you know they play just as much if not more Hybrid and Meteora stuff in their set.
Tell us all again What you think that we should be What the answers are, what it is we can't see Tell us all again How to do what you say How to fall in line, how there's no other way But no, we all know You're guilty all the same To sick to be ashamed You want to point your finger But there's no one else to blame (x2) You're guilty all the same Show us all again That our hands are unclean That we're not prepared That you have what we need Show us all again Because we cannot be saved Cause the end is near But there's no other way I know You will know You're guilty all the same To sick to be ashamed You want to point your finger But there's no one else to blame (x2) There's no one else to blame You're guilty all the same (Rapping)
This isn't quite a return to form for LP, more reminiscent of their Minutes to Midnight album. But I do like their experimentation with each new release. The same old can lead to bands fading away into obscurity, and new ideas can keep Linkin Park alive and heard.
Holy crap!!! Linkin Park using Guitars again?!?!? Nowaiiii!!!! Nah I'm joking, I've loved linkin park's last few albums but man this is awesome! Lyrics aren't as heavy as we all thought but that's not such a bad thing! God I love LP, so much experimentation.
Yeah, but have you not heard their older albums? This actually sounds closer to what they used to do, along with having guest vocals from various artists on multiple tracks, hell they used to have whole albums like this.
Specialist01 They never had guest vocals on an official studio album. The only time they did that was with Reanimation and that was a remix album. The rapping in this song hardly sounds like anything from Hybrid Theory and Meteora. In fact I might argue it's fairly forgettable.
Gman2887 Reanimation was what I was referring to, and It's still an album non the less. Even though it's only slightly similar, it's the first time in a long time we've heard anything like that by them. Better than the dubstep rehashing they put out last, in my opinion anyway.
Love this! I swear Linkin Park is the ultimate band. They change,they evolve and they don't stick to just one thing. It takes some balls of steel to pull it off.
Finally that's what we've been waiting for. The song is awesome but rap part isn't fit that song. Guitar sounds are perfect. I wish solo part was longer. LP ROCKS
I found some interesting comments on facebook which will make those *TRUE* fans who keep on asking LP to go back to the sound of the first 2 albums, babbling about *missing the old LP*, *expecting the old LP* hurt their butts. Here we go: 1)"Cause even a blueprint is a gift and a curse. Cause once you got a theory of how the thing works, everybody wants the next thing to be just like the first." - Mike Shinoda, "When They Come For Me" Mike specifically made that line for all the half-assed fans that complain about LP's ever-changing musical style. If they make the same music, people will complain about repetitiveness and a lack of progression, yet when they switch up styles people complain about missing "the old Linkin Park". True fans will stick by their favorite band throughout its evolution. So if you may, kindly shut up and enjoy the music. 2)The best part of music is the evolution, the change and development. If you only like hybrid theory, listen to hybrid theory. Stagnant bands/artists get really boring really quick. 3)Man can these fake fans shut the hell up about whether their old/new stuff is "waayy" better than the other??? Just cause you don't like a song/album doesn't mean that it's BAD. It just means that it's not apart of your personal musical taste. (Don't get me wrong though it can be the other way around but it just isn't the case with LP) Personally though I probably like almost every single track put out from Hybrid to Living Things Including Reanimation and Recharged, their ability to switch up their musical style is just great. 4)Dave Hahn: "awful. Please go back to the sound of the first 2 albums." Ryan Barton in reply to the comment: "hybrid theory was almost 14 years ago get over it." 5)Tristan Scott Maybeerbage: "In the end, numb and crawling were ur best songs. Everything after that is garbage". Ryan Barton, again, commented: " their 3 most generic songs are your favorite? Why is that surprising?" Astrid Aaron in reply to tristan's comment: "Probably the only 3 songs you ever heard from Linkin Park because they were the "main" right? I can't believe you're still a "fan" after all this years -_-" 6)Great song, I was reading some of the pop up comment. They never left. Each album is great on their own. I hate when fans b, and moan. About this, and that. You should let the artist breathe and create. As an artist of the pen, and paint etc. I don't mind taking comments, and advice, but anyone that tells how I should something, if they don't like I tell them, if you don't like it tough shit. Not to have a thick skin, but where do you draw the line. I would have say coming from the late days of punk, college rock, indust, new wave, and rap. This is one of the best bands in a long time. Just keep on doing what you do.
moim zdaniem najlepszy kawałek od 2007.... nadal nie to samo, ale lepsze niż dwie ostatnie płyty a gitary w końcu nie robią tylko badziewnego tła.... BRAWO!! oby w tym kierunku
I genuinely don't understand what you guys are complaining about "3/5" "2.8/5" ... This is actually an awesome song. During the first half of the intro, I'm like, "OK, it's a rock song. Great. But its just bashing some power chords." Then the lead guitar kicked in and I loved it. LP don't usually use guitar leads like that. It was great there on out, and as a tonesetter for the next album, I'm very pleasantly surprised. Rakim does fine, though they should have mixed his voice more to the top of the mix like Mike's usually is. The chorus is good, though I wish Chester would hold a note out somewhere in there. But really a cool song, and I think its actually pretty unique compared to old LP rock (HT, Meteora) and doesn't sound like a song of them. It's new shit, but rocking hard. I'm pumped.
***** Je suis d'accord avec toi sur le fait que cette chanson n'est pas au niveau de Hybrid Theory ou Meteora (je l'ai dis dans un com' précédent et d'ailleurs In The End est ma chanson préférée tout groupes, chansons et style musicaux confondus !). Je disais juste que cette musqiue est bien meilleure que les albums pondus précédement et quelle amorce (peut-être ,on sait jamais) un retour au source du groupe. :-)
C'est mieux qu'avant, tu ne vas cracher dessus quand même. Rêver à ce qu'un groupe redevienne comme avant, c'est une connerie. C'est impossible de faire mieux et une copie serait forcément inférieure. C'est le mieux qu'ils puissent faire actuellement.
One of their best songs since Meteora. At last I hear rock coming from them. You can identify the instruments and it has guitars! I'm now excited to listen to the rest of the album.
I love this new track, sounds like something that was originally written in 2007/MTM era. With vocal experimenting from 2012. This really backs up Mike's statement about todays rock feeling a lil dull, and he wanted to change that. That is some ass kicking guitar useage, and Rob drums like never before! This kicks about every ''heavy'' Meteora song in the ass. As the album is also being self-produced, I have a feeling it might sound alot like Minutes To Midnight, not the style of music, but rawness, and the idea behind it.
Nareszcie ! Czekałam na powrót Linkin Park do świata żywych. Mam nadzieję, że już nigdy nie wrócą do dubstepu. Na takim LP, jak w tej piosence, się wychowałam :)
#GUILTYALLTHESAME smarturl.it/lpgats
Awesome new song! Can't wait for the full album now...
When will it be in iTunes? I NEED TO BUY IT TOTALLY
Xandal Shadowfall
It already is?
It comes out tomorrw
Xandal Shadowfall already on for pre-order
Damn... A power metal riff AND a guitar solo? Is this the real life? WTF LINKIN PARK?
I approve.
Too all the people who complain about Mike not rapping the bridge - they said the aim was to shock the people. It definitely worked for me since I'm a hardcore hip-hop fan
The emptiness machine reminds me of this so much for some reason, i think its the way its layered and building constantly with each section, just gave me the same vibe. I cant wait for the new album I'm so frickin gassed!
tenho o sentimento de que o from zero será um equilíbrio entre o minutes to midnight e o the hunting party, mas posso estar enganado. de qualquer forma, estou muito ansioso também, linkin park pra sempre 💜
ye, most people don't remember this album but it has some really cool songs
Why is everyone saying "the old LP is back" ?.. They never went anywhere. All their music is amazing.
No agree
it wasn't rock music just to let you know
@@lontrus aaaaaaaand? It's called Alt Rock my friend. All of the previous records were rock. Search it :)
IM SO HAPPY LINKIN PARK IS GOING BACK TO THEIR OLD STYLE!
not their old style , they're just using more guitars than electronics
this is far from their old style
This is AMAZING!!I have literally never been disappointed in any LP song, even their softer more mellow sounds. Rakim murdered this, I can't believe people are complaining about the fact that he had a verse and Mike didn't!Rakim is a LEGEND in hip-hop, his verse is incredible and very few rappers can successfully flow to a beat like this. Great song!!!!
He fits so well into that song that i didnt even notice him until i saw your Comment
Rob is destroying those drums haha xD
Your head automatically bangs to it its awsome lp always is
awesome overloaded. I LOVE YOU LINKIN PARK!!!!!!!!!!
Okay for those going "LP IS BACK" keep in mind that THIS song wouldn't have been possible if they didn't experiment. This song features drumming and guitar riffs that the band has never done, the unconventional song pattern and the biggest difference of all is that this is song and the upcoming album are both self produced. The band created their most innovative rock song without guidance, something 2004 LP would never have been able to do. So learn to accept that the experiments they did from 2007 is what helped them make this song what it is today.
I totally agree with you and you are 100% right. You must be as big an LP "lover" as I am.
🤍©️
Perfectly stated. This is easily my favorite Linkin Park album as it was the culmination of everything from hybrid theory through the experimentation and concept album of a thousand suns... perfected
The guitar part is really badass
Btw to people who don't know rakim he is one of the greatest of all time rapping since 1986 he revolutionized rap(when it was good) and created the intricate and internal rhyme scheme many rappers such as Nas and Eminem use.
IM GLAD LP IS FINALLY BACK!!! Not that they were ever gone but...
Back to what they were up to from the beginning...
God Mc, killing all the radio rappers!
Surprisingly heavy for an LP song. People keep saying it sounds like old LP but there aren't much Nu Metal elements here. Either way it's amazing.
Yeah its definitely not the old nu-metal sound. Its weird its like a whole new linkin park sound in its own right. I like it :)
brad and phoenix are finally back after 7 years!
Linkin Park is back!!!!!
The GOD MC RAKIM on a track with LP is dope. Anyone who doesn't know Rakim doesn't know what Hip Hop is. He's the first real Hip Hop artist. He's the reason the guys you like now are able to rhyme the way they do. He paved the way for everyone else and is considered the best in the game.
Fantastic . Beautiful insane.... this is my favorite band... i love u guys
I loved the old stuff, and I loved the new electronic stuff. I consider myself a true Linkin Park fan because I follow my band anywhere. If this doesn't please the 'old fans' then they should stop calling themselves fans. This is brilliant.
:) preach!
Electronic music is trash. Period. Not that their older music is anything revolutionary either, it's just okay.
MyGoodApollo That's where you are wrong. Period.
I FUCKING LOVE IT!
Csá luckeY
ME TOO!!!
OMG they're back! I'm so glad I didn't give up on them yet!!!
solo a me viene la pelle d'oca?
Rakim fucking killed this. LP is always trying something new. Its rap, its metal, its rock, its electo. Every style they are known for trying. Mike is a creative guy; beyond creative, an true talented artist. Love or hate his music, his passion and love for what he does is unchallenged by anyone of this era. If I ever wanted to make it in music, Shinoda would be the first guy I would ask to talk to.
you are one in a million kind of a person.glad to see at least one person who thinks like me and my brother. LP 4 EVER!!
kinda sad that some people don't recognize nor appreciate the legend that is Rakim on this track.. he did amazing!! Linkin Park did amazing as always although this song (even though it's more guitar heavy) is a bit of a different sound than what they normally do, but it's good. I love it!!! In the years since they came out it always amazes me how Linkin Park can change up their sound a bit on each album and still sound awesome!!!
Totally agree!
He is awesome on the track, but this isn't a hip hop song. I would have preferred Mike Shinoda on this track. Maybe it's just that I'm used to listening to his voice after Chester sings the chorus...or maybe he sounds awesome when guitar's are playing in the background.
What is a Rakim?
Rakim sucked on this track big time. Multiple times he screwed up with the tempo and it's painfully obvious.
For those who all say that some of their previous albums were a disappointment:
Tell us all again
What you think we should be
What the answers are
What it is we can't see
Tell us all again
How to do what you say
How to fall in line
How there's no other way
But oh, we all know
You're guilty all the same
Too sick to be ashamed
You want to point your finger
But there's no one else to blame
I think, this is a message for the stupid LP-fans.
Definitely agree. When I heard this song for the first time it was also the first thing that came up in my mind :D
:D
And it also ties in very nicely with the album's narrative. It has so many meanings and it makes so much more sense in a full album listen. Right after All For Nothing, this is a great follow up.
Same situation for In Flames fans
I´d say it´s clearly written to their record labels knowing much about the background why they would such a song
How did we come from a light that never comes to this? WHAT GENRE IS LINKIN PARK!? This song is fucking awesome!
Linkin Park's music genre is Linkin Park, they play whatever the hell they want.
How did they come from Papercut from A Light That Never Comes, that's what I wanna know.
They play whatever they want. I love A Light That Never Comes, and I love this.
same.
-.- please people stop complaining..... This song great. Can't wait for the album.
I too can't wait for the album :D
Great Linkin Park
All the people saying "yes the old Linkin Park is back", pff I'm just glad they keep coming out with more and more music, maybe I'm a fan boy, but I love all their albums.
Been a while since I heard someone else appreciate their current form, aside from me
Saani Maula I think their last two albums are much more mature than their previous. I prefer their new stuff over their old.
Colby Fraser you're going to feel lots of heat for saying that, but I can agree with the fact that its been more mature. Chester and Mike have already said when asked why they dont sing their old style anymore, "Dude Im like 30 years old, its not the age of the angsty punk".
Plus I mean it was different but still good.
"LINKIN PARK feat. EMINEM "
My head will explode!
Absolutely fantastic song from Linkin Park! This is heavy and raw and a throwback to their early sound!
Back then I was an LPSoldier after I was introduced to edm I wasn't really listening to Linkin Park anymore til I heard this song I was like wow I was amazed on how awesome this song is. After listening to this song...thoughts came in to my mind..I pondered,is Linkin Park going back to their old "Hybrid Theory style"? Hmmmm....

This tends to beef up Chester's voice and support it greatly. Listen to Powerless, No More Sorrow, etc. With the exception of the verses, this song has no backing vocals. Just Chester's main vocal carrying the song every chorus.
Exactly! If you listen to a live perfomance his voice is almost like this too. We are just used to hearing multiple layers of voices in LP songs.
at least they have tried,, what have you done bro?
deathm00n2 and used to autotune which they left out of their self-produced album :3
and no reverb, no delay, etc. there are a few harmonies, but i highly doubt the track will sound like this on the album. self produced or not, the production quality is weak for shinoda's standards, i really hope this is a rough mix. "self produced" or "getting back to the real shit" does not have to imply a sacrifice of fidelity IMO. dope track tho.
YES, I've missed the heavier sound Linkin Park had. Not that I don't like their other songs, but this is just fantastic! I'm SO excited for more new songs in this style :3
Love the whole thing about bringing other artists/rappers into the album, makes it feel alot like a Reanimation thing, even though Rakim is legendary!
According to Mike this is the DNA of the new album and they said they'v returned to the roots,..here i found elements form points of authority (HT)figure 9 (Meteora)given up, no more sorrow, across the line(MTM)victimized(LT).they did experiments 4 all the past 7 years(SINCE MTM 2007).Now this is the result.This is a very wholesome blend of all those efforts.most of the fans got sick of those past works though. nothing can be achieved with all +(ve) results and feed backs.i'm proud of my self about being with them all the time. AND DON"T WORRY ABOUT THIS RAP PART MIKE'L B THERE ALL OVER THE NEW RECORD. I MISS HIM TOO.LP 4 EVER.
ITS REMINDS ME LITTEL BIT LIKE FAINT
THE SONG IS FUCKINN AWOSOME!!!!!!
jonatan macmillian samuel Hell Yeah!!! Fricking awesome :)
I'm glad that the band decide to put a legendary rapper like Rakim and Not Bullshit like 2 Chainz, Lil Wayne or Big Sean, Nice Joint Linkin Park, can't wait for more shit like This!

LP for life baby!!!
I almost shed a tear when I heard this song it is just so beautiful and takes me back to minutes to midnight in a way.
WELCOME BACK LP, THIS SONG IS AWESOME !!!
remember everyone! if you want them to keep the metal style, you better buy the album and give them your money! or else this isn't gonna look good for them.
Bionicprime99 You were right.
The great old linkin park ! LOVE !
Love the thrashy drums!
Cannot wait for the full album.
This is what I like about LINKIN PARK, they don't give a fuck what image or genre they are, they just make good songs, Rock, Rap, Electronic, Metal, Melodic. Just every song they make is crafted to give you whatever emotion they were intended, Pumped, Reflective, Sad, Pissed and they're just amazing artist. I just bought tickets for the carnivores tour and I literally can't wait anymore for them to come to Dallas this fall. IM SO FUCKING EXCITED RIGHT NOW
you sir...get what LP is all about!...
Great!!! Fells like the old times.
Great song! Linkin Park is back
This is Linkin Park going back to basics of guitars drums and basses, yet keeping it fresh for todays music scene. I can hear some Avenged sevenfold at 0:57 onwards and Soundgarden at the end, and yet this sounds like it could still appeal to wider audiences. Kudos LP, you got it right this time.
I'm In love with this song! Just bought It off ITunes, to support Rakim, and Linkin Park ^_^ LOL, who am I talking to?
Welcome back Linkin Park :) it's been awhile, glad to have you back!
THIS is the Linkin Park that I fucking love!
I think this is by far the best thing Linkin Park has done in a long time
gotta love LP for bringing back the 5min+ songs, most songs these days are under 3mins... gotta love it, and this song is fking awesomesauce....
It's a great song i love LP
BTW they're not "back". They never left. LP deserves praise for trying out new things all the time. PLUS if you've been to a concert you know they play just as much if not more Hybrid and Meteora stuff in their set.
Finally
really getting tired of people's shit saying LP is back!. They were never gone!
This is officially my new favorite linkin park song. This is the sound i have been waiting for...
I've loved LP forver no matter what style of music
But.... Oh my God guys... LOT IS BACK!!!
Tell us all again
What you think that we should be
What the answers are, what it is we can't see
Tell us all again
How to do what you say
How to fall in line, how there's no other way
But no, we all know
You're guilty all the same
To sick to be ashamed
You want to point your finger
But there's no one else to blame (x2)
You're guilty all the same
Show us all again
That our hands are unclean
That we're not prepared
That you have what we need
Show us all again
Because we cannot be saved
Cause the end is near
But there's no other way
I know
You will know
You're guilty all the same
To sick to be ashamed
You want to point your finger
But there's no one else to blame (x2)
There's no one else to blame
You're guilty all the same
(Rapping)
This was an amazing single. It blown my mind back on 2014.
Nothing of that happened with ''Heavy''...
It's not even like old LP.. It's an all new style and I love it!
This isn't quite a return to form for LP, more reminiscent of their Minutes to Midnight album. But I do like their experimentation with each new release. The same old can lead to bands fading away into obscurity, and new ideas can keep Linkin Park alive and heard.
Absolutely love this song!! Can't wait for their next album release
Holy crap!!! Linkin Park using Guitars again?!?!? Nowaiiii!!!!
Nah I'm joking, I've loved linkin park's last few albums but man this is awesome!
Lyrics aren't as heavy as we all thought but that's not such a bad thing!
God I love LP, so much experimentation.
I know, it looks like Brad Delson came back
@@thebornack every Linkin Park album has guitar
Mike is the true rapper for Linkin Park
Yeah, but have you not heard their older albums? This actually sounds closer to what they used to do, along with having guest vocals from various artists on multiple tracks, hell they used to have whole albums like this.
Specialist01 They never had guest vocals on an official studio album. The only time they did that was with Reanimation and that was a remix album. The rapping in this song hardly sounds like anything from Hybrid Theory and Meteora. In fact I might argue it's fairly forgettable.
Gman2887 Reanimation was what I was referring to, and It's still an album non the less. Even though it's only slightly similar, it's the first time in a long time we've heard anything like that by them. Better than the dubstep rehashing they put out last, in my opinion anyway.
Perfect this new song ! !
Love Linkin Park forevermore ♥ ♥ ♥
Love this! I swear Linkin Park is the ultimate band. They change,they evolve and they don't stick to just one thing. It takes some balls of steel to pull it off.
Linkin Park must return to ROCK like the album "Meteora" and this new song.
IT'S FUCKING EPIC.
Somebody help me I can't stop listening to this damn song !
I loved both LP styles, Powerless it's my favourite song of all time, but this song is AWESOME!! Keep it up!
Finally that's what we've been waiting for. The song is awesome but rap part isn't fit that song. Guitar sounds are perfect. I wish solo part was longer. LP ROCKS
Wow! A guitar solo! Incredible, finally realized that they have a guitarist. And also a drummer. Loooooool.
I found some interesting comments on facebook which will make those *TRUE* fans who keep on asking LP to go back to the sound of the first 2 albums, babbling about *missing the old LP*, *expecting the old LP* hurt their butts. Here we go:
1)"Cause even a blueprint is a gift and a curse. Cause once you got a theory of how the thing works, everybody wants the next thing to be just like the first."
- Mike Shinoda, "When They Come For Me"
Mike specifically made that line for all the half-assed fans that complain about LP's ever-changing musical style. If they make the same music, people will complain about repetitiveness and a lack of progression, yet when they switch up styles people complain about missing "the old Linkin Park".
True fans will stick by their favorite band throughout its evolution.
So if you may, kindly shut up and enjoy the music.
2)The best part of music is the evolution, the change and development. If you only like hybrid theory, listen to hybrid theory. Stagnant bands/artists get really boring really quick.
3)Man can these fake fans shut the hell up about whether their old/new stuff is "waayy" better than the other??? Just cause you don't like a song/album doesn't mean that it's BAD. It just means that it's not apart of your personal musical taste. (Don't get me wrong though it can be the other way around but it just isn't the case with LP) Personally though I probably like almost every single track put out from Hybrid to Living Things Including Reanimation and Recharged, their ability to switch up their musical style is just great.
4)Dave Hahn: "awful. Please go back to the sound of the first 2 albums." Ryan Barton in reply to the comment: "hybrid theory was almost 14 years ago get over it."
5)Tristan Scott Maybeerbage: "In the end, numb and crawling were ur best songs. Everything after that is garbage". Ryan Barton, again, commented: " their 3 most generic songs are your favorite? Why is that surprising?" Astrid Aaron in reply to tristan's comment: "Probably the only 3 songs you ever heard from Linkin Park because they were the "main" right? I can't believe you're still a "fan" after all this years -_-"
6)Great song, I was reading some of the pop up comment. They never left. Each album is great on their own. I hate when fans b, and moan. About this, and that. You should let the artist breathe and create. As an artist of the pen, and paint etc. I don't mind taking comments, and advice, but anyone that tells how I should something, if they don't like I tell them, if you don't like it tough shit. Not to have a thick skin, but where do you draw the line. I would have say coming from the late days of punk, college rock, indust, new wave, and rap. This is one of the best bands in a long time. Just keep on doing what you do.
This is like the best Linkin Park song in 7 years. Also the longest song.
Nah, i'd have to go with blackout as their best song, which is 2010.
wrong, The little things give you away. Its like six and a half minutes long.
Not Lost In The Echo anybody?!
ThePedge no
ThePedge No, no no
Great Song xD
Waiting for new album.
Yeah...a bit of the old LP peeping out....Really loved em back then....Golden times....
moim zdaniem najlepszy kawałek od 2007.... nadal nie to samo, ale lepsze niż dwie ostatnie płyty a gitary w końcu nie robią tylko badziewnego tła.... BRAWO!! oby w tym kierunku
LP4LIFE
I genuinely don't understand what you guys are complaining about "3/5" "2.8/5" ... This is actually an awesome song. During the first half of the intro, I'm like, "OK, it's a rock song. Great. But its just bashing some power chords." Then the lead guitar kicked in and I loved it. LP don't usually use guitar leads like that. It was great there on out, and as a tonesetter for the next album, I'm very pleasantly surprised. Rakim does fine, though they should have mixed his voice more to the top of the mix like Mike's usually is. The chorus is good, though I wish Chester would hold a note out somewhere in there. But really a cool song, and I think its actually pretty unique compared to old LP rock (HT, Meteora) and doesn't sound like a song of them. It's new shit, but rocking hard. I'm pumped.
Awesome !!! Ça c'est du retour au source quand on voit l'album qu'il nous on pondu avant...
Entièrement d'accord avec toi!!!! Sa fait plaisir à entendre comme son!!!! \o/
Matthew Cross
Bon, c'est pas encore Hybrid Theory ou Meteora mais c'est quand même bien mieux que de l'électro :-D
Une sacrée surprise en effet !Avec un bon riff et un bon ptit solo à la fin, Linkin Park's return !
*****
Je suis d'accord avec toi sur le fait que cette chanson n'est pas au niveau de Hybrid Theory ou Meteora (je l'ai dis dans un com' précédent et d'ailleurs In The End est ma chanson préférée tout groupes, chansons et style musicaux confondus !). Je disais juste que cette musqiue est bien meilleure que les albums pondus précédement et quelle amorce (peut-être ,on sait jamais) un retour au source du groupe. :-)
C'est mieux qu'avant, tu ne vas cracher dessus quand même. Rêver à ce qu'un groupe redevienne comme avant, c'est une connerie. C'est impossible de faire mieux et une copie serait forcément inférieure. C'est le mieux qu'ils puissent faire actuellement.
Brings me back to Minute to Midnight
One of their best songs since Meteora.
At last I hear rock coming from them. You can identify the instruments and it has guitars! I'm now excited to listen to the rest of the album.
This is Fantastic! Wow Great to hear Linkin Park experimenting with their music!! :))
This is the Linkin Park I know and love :D
Welcome back, linkin park
***** They did (in genre meaning).
***** And they created (in some way) Recharged, don't forget about it.
Beautiful..I've become so dependent on it *.* Now I know that I can't live without it :33
Im glad they went back being heavy i love it
Lol dang I was left wanting more. This was a pretty good job by LP. now have a whole album like this? Im sold :D
I love this new track, sounds like something that was originally written in 2007/MTM era. With vocal experimenting from 2012. This really backs up Mike's statement about todays rock feeling a lil dull, and he wanted to change that.
That is some ass kicking guitar useage, and Rob drums like never before!
This kicks about every ''heavy'' Meteora song in the ass.
As the album is also being self-produced, I have a feeling it might sound alot like Minutes To Midnight, not the style of music, but rawness, and the idea behind it.
i didnt expected this.... lol awesome
Nareszcie ! Czekałam na powrót Linkin Park do świata żywych. Mam nadzieję, że już nigdy nie wrócą do dubstepu. Na takim LP, jak w tej piosence, się wychowałam :)
They finally returned to their roots, back to their old style.. Love it!!
SUPER! ALL HAIL LINKINPARK!
can't wait to see if it has an official video!
Like good old LP ♡♥
The only bad thing about this song is the fact that we have to wait for more like this.
Dude, that will never happen:(
Guilty all the same: my new favourite song
this is no comeback song this is LP bringing out another brilliant track
That's Just Epic..keep calm LP and rock my life,,
