New Linkin Park Song...

Who said I won't stop listening to them? I may have implied it by mistake, but I didn't say that.

& I agree about famous music not necessarily being good. I feel it mostly applies to rap & rock. harcore fans of either genre would prefer underground to whats popular. I know I do.

That's why nobody at my school listens to mainstream bands: They get too overup about their ability and ruin good stuff.

I can easily name 5 bands that none of you have ever heard of. I've posted a few xD.


I love rating songs. Take a popular song, and judge EVERYTHING about it. On a scale of 1-10, this song gets a 3-4.

Like what Filip said, I'm hating most of the junk that Mike is predominant in, such as Lying From You, and think that they need to move more to singing.

Personally, I think Points of Authority was their best song to date. Then, one of the most underrated songs, Numb. I haven't, and probably won't listen to much of MTM, because of how profane it is. (Those who know me, you know why xD)


Anyway, back to my unofficial review of the song. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J29Bn-L0Zb0&feature=related better quality, so using this vid)


The intro is decent, a tad pitchy in some places. The filtered voice was a decent way to start, with a tad of a tech-ish feel.

For the first chorus, the chord progression could easily have, at 1:11, another chord in there. It builds a tension without it, but not a tension that's enjoyable. Guess what? Chester still has that filtered voice throughout a majority of the first chorus. The high note was pitchy at first, then he corrected it.

On the second verse, he's still a tad filtered in the voice. At this point, I'm tired of hearing it.

Whadya know? The SECOND chorus has a filtered sound to it. By this point, the song is ruined.

I'm not sure about the little part after the second chorus. It's kinda meh, but ok I guess..... The bridge was the same way. I'm not so much a fan.

At 3:19, he starts his singing solo. A tad pitchy, but it's fairly decent. Until...

...3:30, where he hits the high note. My ears started bleeding. The high note was flat, and Chester was pushing his voice to as high as it could go, so it was pretty much garbage, quality-wise. That made my day, and ruined the song.

In the last chorus, WHAT'S THAT?? IS IT REALLY? YES! It's the chord that could EASILY fit into the beginning chorus.

The ending was a repeat of the instrumental intro, so nothing to say.


All in all, pretty bad song. Pretty horrendous song by LP.

Taylor's post is pretty much perfect. Still though, I love it just cause I am such a huge fan.

-Accidental Double Post Gonezo-

They coulda made the opening of New Divide a bit more instrumental and pitched vocals a little deeper.Not their best song but still decent and worthwhile to listen to.

well the offical video of this song is out now if you haven't seen it yet then see it now http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TB79WZuEPFs&feature=popular .

I think this song is pretty bad.

I mean, it's not SO bad that I'd never listen to it again.. But, it's just bad. XD

I hate New Divide. (or whatever it was called).
I love like. 95% of their songs and that is one of the 5% I hate.

Haha, as usual.

I think it is the best Linkin Park song that they have ever created.

I think New Divide is the best song Linkin Park has... for now.

If the all of the new album is similar to this, I won't even bother wasting my money.
