New Linkin Park Song Posted

2009-05-18 by Dave de Sylvia EMERITUS | 67 Comments
Linkin Park have posted their autotune-tastic new single 'New Divide' for free streaming and paid download. The track is taken from the soundtrack to the forthcoming movie Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen, due in cinemas on June 24.

In addition to providing the lead single, Linkin Park also took an auxiliary role in scoring the film alongside legendary composer Hans Zimmer. Frontman Mike Shinoda explained: "The song we wrote is being used as one of the themes, and we will be writing various interpolations on that theme, and trying out some other thematic ideas as part of the (very large) team scoring the film.

"My bandmates and I are working with award-winning film composer (and resident ***-kicker) Hans Zimmer. We met with Hans last week, and heard some of the incredible things he and his guys have done with our new song. In the next few days, we'll be doing some work with Hans' amazing writing and recording crew."

this is alright, i guess. better than most of MTM.

im REALLY not happy about the auto-tune though. they've almost got a breakdown in there...

still. itll be a guilty pleasure. there's really not much technicality to speak of.

*sigh*

Since when did he need autotune?

Movie will rule regardless of how mediocre the score ends up being (Zimmer + LP = double the 'meh')

Wow, this is bad. I mean I didn't think "Minutes to Midnight" was anything special but this is just bad. It's so fucking boring and "radio rock".

I wonder if the members of Linkin Park get up in the morning and aspire to make shitty music.

Yeah wow this is terrible, worse than minutes to midnight if that's possible. Since the song started you could feel the most generic buildup imaginable and spent the song waiting for him to get to "blah blah blah blah... new dividdddde" then repeat.

"wasn't that good at all"

Fix'd.

Didn't mind the Auto-Tune, but man, that was pretty boring, and I'm someone who actually enjoys the band from time to time.

Also, I'm pretty sure that's a bastardized version of the Transformer's Theme they play in the beginning and after each chorus.

Linkin Park is dead. They just sound like any old radio rock band, at least they had an original sound back in the day regardless of whether u liked it or not. But this is boring as fuck.

Geez, a lot of hatred and disgust in here. I don't get it, after MTM were you guys really expecting something incredible for a Transformers sequal soundtrack? I mean really, half of you probably never even liked Linkin Park to begin with.

Has this community really come down to this? I realize it's cool to hate them now, and a sign of good taste in music, but not everyone on the site has to chime in so we all know you listen to real music.

They've never been an amazing band musically, but Chester's voice is what made them and now they don't even have that.
It's like a bit of them dies every time they make a new album
Epic Fail

After listening to some of their old stuff I then realized how much I really hated their new sound. I thought I like it for a bit.
This song is basically What I've Done over again.
Their old stuff really wasn't that bad.
And their new style is here to stay. No more Shinoda either.

Linkin Park has screwed us all, and boy did they do a good job of it.

The song sucks.

No. Way. They're doing the score? I don't care about them doing another crappy song, but the score??? That's one of the things I was desperately looking forward to 'cause the last one (by Steve Jablonsky) was beyond amazing. And now not only are they using this "What I've Done" duplicate as a bloody theme, but they're working the score around that shitty song. Man, why?

Shit! I hate you, Linkin Park.
