While this new song from Linkin Park might be overtly monotheistic and spiritual, I think everyone can enjoy this video. It's full of smoky slow motion shots and has a nice dreamy surrealistic stormy mood, which hints at some sort of apocalyptic internal and communal struggle.
The music itself may take a few listens to grow on some people. It's full of intense energy and pain, but still with some chance of hope, redemption and healing. The style itself might be unfamiliar with some classic Linkin Park fans, which I can understand. But I'll let you guys decide.
When I first heard it, I wasn't sure what to think. You're right; it doesn't sound like their earlier music at all. But after a few plays, I'm hooked. It's a great song to listen to whilst running. (:
after listening to it for a few times I`m so hooked
i personally love the song and the video
it's horrible, LP used to be cool. Now they just follow the new stuff you see on tv sadly... it's become some sort of techno thing :(
i saw the 11:00 premiere. its pretty good.
i totallly love it.. linkin park never disappoints...
I'm a die-hard Linkin Park fan and have been since I was 11, but I really despise this song.
This song builds.. and builds... and builds... to NOTHING. Horribly repetitive song. Gah, Linkin Park had one good CD... hybrid theory.
This came on at a party while the tv was on and everyone stopped to watch it and just went "wtf is this". I hate Linkin Park..
totally disappointed in this new song =\
When LP first came out, they were awesome. Then they kinda just went down hill, but I'll admit... I love this song. It's catchy. :)
They did an amazing job.
took a while for me to warm up to it honestly. once it did.. i really started enjoying it. the said, i agree with the others. things have "changed" a lot with LP over the years. i definitely miss the soul of the early stuff.
I love people who think that bands will always remain the same, that their style isnt going to change, that the members aren't gonna grow up and be pissed off their entire lives. Wake the frack up. The only bands that sound the same are the ones who lack creativity and the ability to grow together. I personally like it the same way i liked their old stuff (which I still listen to when I am in "that mood") and would be disappointed if it sounded like their old stuff because it would be "just like their old stuff" or "it sounds like Hybrid Theory or Meteora." Minutes to Midnight sounded nothing like Hybrid so why would this? People say the same about NiN, do you people have any idea the damage it does to you on a mental level performing rage filled songs every night? Not to mention songs dealing with the worst fracking memories you have?
God, this song sucks.
please excuse me while i puke up a lot in my mouth.
I first saw this while I was high and tripped the fuck out. Love them.
I've always liked LP, not been what some might call a "Fan" but hey I liked thier music, bought quite a few songs, but come on, wtf is this. I called up the radio station after they announced that "The Catalyst" was LP and i just said, BS, there is No Way this is LP. wtf happened to them? I'm REALLY hoping the rest of their new album is NO WHERE NEAR this pop song
@Xedis@xanga - I liked your comment, frackin "a" right!- And I always liked Likin Park if not all the songs, some are great and this one does warm me cockles.
