This cd is great change in sound
'' Joe Hahn said in the dvd that its a song about where they basically are now. What I've Done starts off with '' In this farewell there is no change, there is no allaby. Forgetting past and moving on. Which is exactly what Linkin Park did. What I've Done was the last song they recorded in the studio and did. I personally don't get why people really bash this cd. I own every Linkin Park cd and I love their old style and new style. I personally wouldn't want another Hybrid Theory 3. Everyone complains that it goes straight to the ''f'' bomb. People says explict lyric what does that tell you?? When in anyone mind would think Linkin Park would use acoustics or a guitar solo. NEVER. Which is also what is really surprising on this record. In order for alot of bands to survive they need to change their sound. If you really think about it you wouldn't want them to sound the same on every cd. To me for some reason people need angry music and if it isn't and a band does something different then right away they think they sold out when maybe just maybe they just wanted to do something different. The dvd is great it explains everything about the cd and why they changed their sound. Of course with them in the studio. Eventhough the wrote up to I think almost 200 demos for this cd they said that they were mostly all crap. They have some moments in the cd and some that relate to their old style. Wake is an intro track that sounds epic with that old Linkin Park feel to it. Given up is a done right Linkin Park rocker but is all Chester lyrically in it. One thing different with this song is he does a 30 second scream on it. Leave Out All the Rest reminds of old LP. Almost sounds like Crawling. Phoenix is on guitar in this song and not bass. The rhythm section in this song is keyboard. Bleed it Out is a party like song with Mike rapping in it and the band says its a fun song to do live. Shadow Of The Day I would agree sounds alot like a U2 song but to me it is a beautiful song. What I've Done sounds alot like a typical LP song with a little bit of a guitar solo. Hands Held High is more of a political rap song all by Mike on this with a bit of Chester in the background vocals on the chorus. It also has oregon in it. No More Sorrow is another typical LP rocker. It has a really cool guitar opener and comes in with the drums. It has political like sound to it though and is basically about liers and hyporcrites with Chester screaming. Valentines Day is more of a love song and to me is about Chesters divorce. Its pretty light and but gets progressively heavier but its one of my least favorites on this cd. In Between is another light song its all mike singing on this one and is a pretty simple form. In the dvd Chester originally sang this song but he thought Mike sounded better on it. Personally also not a favorite but kudos for them doing something different. In Pieces sounds like another kind of love song but it has reggae guitars and is a bit progressive and its a song that grows on you. The Little Things Give you Away is about hurricane Katrina and has banjo and acoustic guitars in it with electric too. It has a over a 2 minute guitar solo. Rob Bourdon made a drum demo that they named drum song. The band visited New Orleans and wrote the vocals from that. The only thing I really missed on this cd was Mikes rapping and Joe Hahns scratching were all limited. How they decided the songs on this recorded were by seeds and basically each one came in with music and presented it. It was then determined if it was to survive the process since they voted on the songs. Linkin Park is currently in the studio now it seems like they will have a new cd out in 2010. The band from what I understand and I don't know if its fully true is working on a concept record with a storyline. Cant wait to see what they try new on their next cd!! Hopefully I will get their new cd the day it comes out like I did with all their others.


Minutes to Midnight
If you have the cd then I probably wouldn't buy this for the comentary. this is a awsome product once again you get hilarious comentary from linkin park, get to see their beautiful house for recording this cd how they put together the cd. If you dont have the cd buy this . . . . . right now!!!.


love it!
i got it autographed at SURU in Los Angeles. i love this DVD/CD. i love Linkin Park, and unlike some other people that say they are true fans, i like the risks they are taking and the new sounds that they are creating. ;).


awsome cd
the DVD is cool to it gives you a chance to see how the album was made. this album is a gigantic step forward for the band they have branched out a tone since metora came out a few years ago. .


An album that keeps giving Summer to Fall...4 1/2 Stars.
Like albums of old that have so much texture that it easily makes the transition from summer CD to something you still want to listen to in the Fall The packaging is awesome and the DVD that accompanies it is a great hour long look into the recording process. This is a great package with an album that keeps giving. .
