Skip. I'd rather not ruin the album experience for myself But not listening to it sure is killing me!
i also listened to wastelands but didnt listen to rebellion and final masquerade. its hard but i can wait will get the album in 6 days
My thoughts... The lyrics are fantastic. Really, really good compared to anything else from THP so far. Makes the song a pleasure to listen to. Musically I'm not sure if I can connect with it yet. I definitely like the song. Not sure if I love it. I can't help wishing it exploded into a massive wall of harmonies. But perhaps less is more. Chester really brought it with this song. This ought to disprove notions of his voice growing weak. 7/10 for now.
I think that listening to a song and the whole album give me different feelings. Even if I listened to all 12 songs separately it'll not replace the feeling and excitement of listening to the entire record for the first time. It's kinda like a trip, and Linkin Park got expert in giving it to us (to me at least) since MTM. And sorry for the bad english.
One of the best songs Linkin Park have made in a few years. I love it. Edit: Sounds like a song Red would make.
Haha thanks - Blink 182's music videos crack me up. Not a fan of the other two - both UIG and Wastelands I listened to once and don't have the desire to ever hear them again.
I haven't listened to Rebellion or FM but I hold myself over by playing the first 7 seconds of them. Just 10 days to go! But judging by the FM reactions and lyrics, it should be a pleasant treat.
