so give me reaaaaaaaaaaaaaaason

meh...

^You're confusing a few words there, son.

wow that was even worse than their last song.

what the fuck was that, seriously, what the fuck was that

how the fuck does shit like this get posted but the new glassjaw video that I submitted does not

good times

Wow....

Linkin Park are ascending to new lows

LOOK AT THAT FUCKING BAND PIC

Edit: Song is alright actually, verses are fucking baws

I liked the monologued intro/outro, definitely nice to see the band try something new. I mean the song was different as well so credit for not throwing out more What I've Done rehashes but it pretty much sucked...

I don't get it. What's with all the hate? It's the same sound of Hybrid Theory and Meteora you peeps been whining to hear.

It gets hate because it sounds like a linking park parody more than a linking park song.

whats with the tribal like accents on their voices, reminded me of that one Flight of the Conchords song

This really isn't anything like Meteora or Hybrid Theory, FCY. But yeah, this is pretty bad.

Simple riff, simple beat, simple bass line. Chorus vocals sounded really gay. Not really impressing me.

This is really really shit.

why did Green Day and Linkin Park have to become U2...

prolly to show how "mature" they are now.

Song is alright, reminds me of the Hybrid Theory/Meteora days.

hilarious how predictable all these comments are

Wtf happened to this band? seriously wtf did i just hear?

hilarious how predictable all these comments are

I liked this better than most of the stuff on Midnight. Chorus was super gay though

wha...?

Mikes rapping is pretty cool, the beat is catchy as fuck. Chester kinda brings the song down though, don't like that chorus.

Agreed Bass, everything about the song is good except the chorus. While listening to the verses I was loving it but I somehow knew the chorus would bring the whole thing down.

Best response to this news is just a good old meh

Yeah. I hope theres more stuff like this on the album though and not so much of that gay Catalyst shit.

If I was still in middle school this would be prbly my new favorite song

FUCKING MASTERPIECE.

One word... SHIT!

Better than most of what they've done since Meteora, for sure. If it weren't for the fake accents, I'd even go as far as to say this is a good song. Chester being on this song at all just seems forced and unnecessary, but the voice kills it.

At least they're trying new things with their music...More interesting to listen to than some radio shit from Minutes.

Not as bad as people are saying, but what's with the chorus? The stupid African accent that Chester has going on ALMOST brings the whole song down...

Chester's voice is fooked, prob no more screaming ever! Shinoda does his best, but is average on this. Lyrics absolutely suck (probably the worst LP lyrics ever written?), the only good bit is Mr Hahns turntables in the last 20 seconds...

aw that's kinda sad.

My only problem with it is the reggae. Comes off as a little silly. Liked the sound of the music.

ya Chester killed this song. I kinda liked it otherwise. They are like the little rap I can enjoy these days because he's actually a decent lyricist.

EDIT: Reminds me a little of their EP stuff like step up and stuff.

I really liked this song. There may yet be hope for ATS...but its prolly a fluke knowing LP.

bad

Faggot band.

it was better than catalyst. I guess it's kind of promising for the album in terms of the sound they've gone for but the chorus was shit and I dunno mikes bits sounded ok but the lyrics were like classic club music rap bullshit with all the front to back crap

Not bad, but c'mon LP, you're better than that.

Still gonna sell either way... they could release a country album and shift that thing like it's the new shit.

The song is alright. I'll never understand the hype this band gets, both positive and negative.

hmmm not that bad (a bit too much of those "hey" gang-shout).
1st creative thing they have done since... well, hybrid theory probably.

Not good enough for me to buy it, but at least it is interesting (surprising).

not as bad as i thought it would be, this song gives me hope for the new album

That was certainly "genre busting"

Does this band still need a drummer or guitarist? They could cut the band down to 2 members! How can
they still accept to play in this band when they don´t participate in their sound anymore? It´s
electro-synthie-pop...

It was ok, not bad.

I'm amazed that this band is still even around. Their sound certainly hasn't aged well.

This wasn't nearly as bad as most of the comments were leading me to believe. Chores did suck however.

This sounded like a joke and I am a Linkin Park fan who quite enjoyed The Catalyst

But wtf is this?

I actually don't hate this, chorus included. I dunno how anyone can say it isn't at least a little bit of a throwback to Hybrid Theory/Meteora because from the sound alone I think it fits right in.

Maybe it's just a little too late for them to try and recreate that sound after one too many "What I've Done"-esque songs, and after that bomb of a single that "The Catalyst" was. Like someone said, it sounding more like a parody of themselves then them actually making an effort but even a parody of the old sound is still closer to the old sound then pretty much any song/album after Meteora.

Personally I kind of like it, raises my hope for the new album a tiny bit.

song was poopy

The rap verses are alright, song as a whole is pretty lame though. The chorus is terrible and the lyrics are incredibly stupid.

Imagine this playing to the Mann Gegen Mann video

What the hell is this shit? That chorus is just stupid, Chester sounds like an asshat.
I think this band should quit.

but its MATURE

and EDGY

well, OBVIOUSLY, we have a RAPIST in LINKIN PARK

The overall idea and execution of the song itself is really impressive. The lyrics on the other hand are almost embarrassingly trite for the message they are trying to get across with Oppenheimer's (I think that's who it is) speech etc.

The chorus feels forced, probably should have just let mike continue.

Also please stop using the word "gay" to describe how the music sounds. It's literally the worst and least descriptive adjective to describe just about anything except actual gay people. Unless of course you're describing the greatest tribute band of all time...

Black Fag

song is gay

^ The word 'GAY' has been hijacked for the THIRD time and now means CRAP.

From happy to homo to abysmal.

so.... this song is................GAY like no other.

better than their last song and anything off of minutes to midnight.

so bad

so so so so bad

I'll say it again:

WIKKA-WIKKA

IVE BECUM SO NUMB.

seriously these guys are morons. They always have been. Rap-rock was cool when I was 12. Never since.

I listened again, and although it's not the best the chorus is actually okay. I'm starting to think the worst part is the "hey" gang vocals.

Yeah, the chorus is a grower but its still odd. Chester really hasnt been too great lately.

this whole new sound thing is far more interesting than what I'd expect from them.

@renegadestrings

regardless of my gay speech, respect.

none of you can deny that mr. shinoda's return makes you at least slightly happy.

One step closer to the edge, I'M ABOUT TO BREAK

dont turn your back on me, I WONT BE IGNOOOORREDDD

it sounded retarded in the beginning, then mike started rapping. and it wasn't bad. until chester...

and..
WHAT THE FUCK IS MIKE WEARING IN THAT PICTURE
he looks like if dave grohl joined alesana...

Lol at Shinoda at trying to go ragga

Sorry guys but Limp bizkit has the best numetal song of the year. "Walking Away."

Live Version: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tn4AKHAzQR4[/youtube]

you guys actually liked this band?

what in the fuckity fuck shit did i just hear

This is going to be one fucking bizarre album. I'm sorta looking foward to hearing it...

http://mikeshinoda.com/2010/09/01/mtv-calls-a-thousand-suns-linkin-parks-kid-a/

Lol

lol'd hard. ^
comments are great too

that article is lols

nice find deviant

linkin park+kid a= same sentence

WHAT IS THIS I DON'T EVEN

I don't get it. The article is just saying how this album will be out of the ordinary, which, based on listening to this song, it will be.

"linkin park will never make an album even close to kid a"

only acceptable one imo

oh no i like this whoops

this offends me, yeah

I've never really liked Linkin Park. Their first 2 albums were just generic nu metal, and MTM ranged from being bizzarely average to just fucking awful. I gotta be honest, though, i've kinda been liking the singles from this album so far. (Well, i HATED The Catalyst at first, but it grew on me. This one instantly established itself as a guilty pleasure right off the bat, though.) MIGHT actually bother downloading this album....

I don't know if you could call their first two albums generic nu-metal. The issue is that you're referring to them in hindsight. At the time of their debut it was something pretty different for nu-metal. Their second album was only copying themselves. It's generic sounding these days because everyone tried to get rich off of their sound.

My dear lord, the fact that Kid A and LP are even mentioned in the same lifetime together really urks me. songs are downright awful, and Fear Factory used part of this monologue speech on the opening to Timelessness on the Obsolete album. Fit a teeeeeny weeeeny bit better there.

It could be much better if "Shaggy" sang that chorus....SERIOUSLY

suck mah shaft

This is what I was looking for when I found that other link:

http://lplive.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=5165

That was an interesting read. Still not expecting this to be good at all but the bit about Mike doing most of the vocals was interesting.

i didn't like the song at all, especially compared with earlier stuff which was actually good.

OH NO

DON'T MENTION KID A IN A SENTENCE WITH A BAND I CONSIDER LESSER

I DON'T COMPREHEND THE CONTEXT OR MEANING

the bit about Mike doing most of the vocals was interesting. [2]

Front to front? Side to side? Its official Linkin Park is a techno band, not a rock band. Cut the drummer and guitarist, just let Hahn do all the work, from these 2 new songs it seems he is anyway. Why, just why?

Do they even have a drummer and guitarist anymore like wtf. Chester's fake reggae accent was just like poor and mikes lyrics. WHAT CAN YOU SAY ABOUT THOSE LYRICS?!?! (my 12 year old self just is going into a emo depression now.)

Random awful Star Wars quote: "She has lost the will to live"

Yah Metallica lyrics are so bad

Alright...... it doesnt matter what linkin park releases by this point. No matter what is it..... it is going to get ripped on. So lets just all agree to disagree, and in my opinion this is one dirty ass song. In a good way. This song makes me want to become an athlete. And then get a following of young girls. And then make it my goal to get everyone of those young girls pregnant.

Song is actually quite entertaining. Not like all the previous bullshit they have been releasing since 2007.

I've heard the album during a pre-listening event in Germany about two weeks ago. You people have no idea what you're talking about and what you're hating at. I can guarantee it will get a lot more hate than Minutes to Midnight because it has much more diversity than any other album I've listened to and I listen to Dream Theater, Tool, Riverside etc... and it's a fucking out of the ordinary, bizarre piece of material. There's elements in there from genres I didn't even dream about mixing. And for me, their previous albums were total non-creative shit.

This album at least is showing they're trying to go away from that radio crap they've tried before, unlike Nickelback or Stone Sour, so cut the dumbass-talk saying this is the worst shit you've listened to (if it's Linkin Park, it will get hate anyway). Thousand Suns is no Kid A, I don't know if that guy was on drugs or sth, but it's sure a thousand times better than anything they've done before.

Josh, I can't take comments seriously coming from a guy who hasn't even listened to the song and keeps ranting. So don't bother replying to me.

This song is actually quite listenable. Good replay value.

Josh: and you quit being a whiny bitch. Go listen to sth else if it makes you happy.

If you weren't one, you wouldn't be here whining about this track. Which, is exactly what you're doing. Common sense is not present up there in your mountains, eh? Good day to you, sir.

probs not

not many can stand against teh josh d

FCY is the same guy who compared Slipknot to Stone Sour as if he wanted them to be the same band!

They are a side project n00b!!!!

you tell em 12th new user ive seen today

I have been using Sputnik for years, but only just signed up last month.

I've found some awesome bands using this site : )

thats how it all starts

first you lurk for a long while

then when you finally make your account and start commenting the site sucks you in and you set it as your homepage and only sputnik's opinion matters

Lol, I am hooked already! Done 100 ratings within a month.

Might do a review soon...

dont worry. thats nothing. eventually youll reach a point where youve listened to all the obvious albums and you need more. but youll have to dig deep wihtin the sie to find all the good shit

and yes a review is a good way of expressing your opinion

do one

but make sure it doesnt suck

Linkin Park, more like Stinkin' Barf.

plz do more

At least this is better than The Catalyst.

that reads like "at least you only got herpes, good thing you didnt catch my aids"

Well this song spells itself out.

it uses the same intro as fear factories timelessness on the obselete album! this makes me a sad man haha

Sorry, no sarcasm. I hate the reggae thing, and the lyrics aren't brilliant, but it's not an unpleasant listen. Sound-wise, it's likeable. If I had to rate it like a full album, I'd rate it 3/"good"- it'd be more if not for some of the lyrics and, well, again, the reggae thing.

Joe Hahn is a beast... He's the cornerstone of the band..His beats, scratches are just perfect.

Ugh. And I thought Linkin Park couldn't get any worse...

Sounds like a pre-loaded DDR song. What a pos.

this song sucks

There's not much sense posting neither news nor reviews on this site, because most of the people are either cursing or they are being complete douchebags. Not sure what's going on with the administration around here, perhaps they support posts like: "Holy fuck, what the fuck is that fucking shit" or "WHat the fuck is this shit, this fucking sucks balls, fuck man". Talk about living in a cave and smashing a rock to your head all day.

Not whining or anything, but ever since I've been here and been reading this and that, or posting my opinion, all I ever got was posts like "you're a noob", "that shit sucks" or simply a "no" without reasoning or explanation behind those replies. There's absolutely no reason for me to come here anymore and I'm sure nobody gives two cents about what I think, so continue with the bashing and cursing without me. Thanks.

Saw that coming.

he made the mistake of disagreeing with the josh d

his own fault

It sucks

BUT IN THE END IT DOESN'T EVEN MATTEEEER

Jesus its true, this song ultra gay. WTF happened to their rock sound?

"how the fuck does shit like this get posted but the new glassjaw video that I submitted does not"

agreed

In a band that actually has talent news: New Envy Album October 12 - Recitation

Now no one will listen to the song. Mission accomplished.

I've heard the album during a pre-listening event in Germany about two weeks ago. You people have no idea what you're talking about and what you're hating at. I can guarantee it will get a lot more hate than Minutes to Midnight because it has much more diversity than any other album I've listened to and I listen to Dream Theater, Tool, Riverside etc... and it's a fucking out of the ordinary, bizarre piece of material.

Thousand Suns is no Kid A, I don't know if that guy was on drugs or sth, but it's sure a thousand times better than anything they've done before.

I just puked in my mouth a little

So how many of you dislike it because its not actual rock music, or because they are trying a type of music that you don't like? Honest question.

This actually isn't bad, I'm surprised, my hope that this album is going to be great (3.5) is restored, can't wait to see how this turns out.

Honestly, I didn't think it was THAT bad. I kinda liked it. Not great, but listenable.

Josh D. is on angry roll

That wasn't like The Black Eyed Peas, let's not be silly, Mr. D. If that IS your real name.

I don't care what haters say..
I love this 1.

*facepalm*
You know how when you see somebody do something so stupid and start to feel uncomfortably embarrassed for them? Yeah well, I just read through the lyrics. Speaks for itself.

That catchy hip-hop beat gives me the horrible feeling that I'm going to start hearing this song in the
clubs around my city real soon...

Mikes rapping is pretty cool, the beat is catchy as fuck. Chester kinda brings the song down though, don't like that chorus. [2]

Hahn is epic anyway.
Thinking I will like this record much more than MTM.

Yes it is, and here is the tracklist

Recitation Track List
1. Guidance
2. Last Hours Of Eternity
3. Rain Clouds Running In A Holy Night
4. Pierces Of The Moon I Weaved
5. Lights And Solitude
6. Dreams Coming To An End
7. Incomplete
8. Worn Heels And The Hands We Hold
9. A Hint And The Incapacity
10. A Breath Clad In Happiness
11. 0 And 1
12. Your Hand

Wow, I was so stoked for this until I heard Chester.. and the black guys goin' AY AY AY AY.

Mike Shinoda is the only good thing about this. Chester sounds like he's trying to make latin rock-styled melodies, and it doesn't work.

crunk metal?

I'm watching the Neverending Story right now and LINKIN PARK can suck a whale cock. FUCK YOU, FUCK YOU, you're cool, Fuck it, I'm done.

luv dem whale cocks

sounds like a mix between their older stuff and some sort of scotish accent gone horribly wrong. and VERY generic, uninspired rapping by m shinoda i must say.

"I'm watching the Neverending Story right now"

Quoted for awesomeness.

bad

And the saddest part is, this'll probably go top 10 on the charts. Seriously what was that?

The people here who can't identify the attempted accent amuse me.

Sounds like a white Chuck D over Industrial music with (like someone said) Flight of the Conchords yelling

LOL just when I thought Minutes to Midnight was bad, they top that and bring out two S hittier songs that makes MtM sound decent! OMG this has to be a joke

CRAWWWLLINNG IN MY SKEEEEEEN etc, etc.

i actually like it better than the songs from minutes to midnight

Short Bus Shorty

Songs really, really great.












































If your name is Enrique

I never thought I'd say this, but I wonder what Korn is working on right now...

Well looks like they stepped up from their last song from horrible to this which is bad. But hey, maybe it will be a fun song.
