Linkin Park World Premiere "Guilty All The Same" on Shazam, And Blow Our Minds Completely

A few months ago in an interview with LP Association and AltWire, Mike Shinoda described how the current state of rock music left him wanting something more, saying:

"I’m just saying there’s something missing. I guess it doesn’t have to be “rock,” but I’m at a loss for something else I’d call it. I’m looking for ferocity, innovation, and energy without giving up songwriting, sophistication, and craftsmanship."
​

The interview managed to generate great debate and excitement within the Linkin Park community, and left many wondering just how the band intended to breathe life back into a genre that they felt had lost its identity and intensity. Well, Linkin Park fans, it appears Mike and the rest of his band mates have found what they were looking for, and it comes in the form of their daring, aggressive and, dare we say, carnivorous brand new single, “Guilty All The Same”.

From LP's upcoming new album, due out later this year, "Guilty All The Same" is 5 minutes and 55 seconds of Linkin Park at their fastest and most furious to date. From its blistering two-minute intro to its squealing outro, the single hits you like a hurricane from the very first second and does not let up. "GATS" does not feature the electronic elements that had been found in some of the band's most recent material, but instead offers something louder, rawer and nastier than we have ever heard from Linkin Park. It also features a surprise appearance from hip-hop legend Rakim, marking the first time a guest vocalist has appeared on one of the band's studio releases. It's new, it's exciting, it's challenging, and it's refreshing at a time when rock music has arguably lost some of its edge.

Below are the OFFICIAL lyrics to the song:

GUILTY ALL THE SAME

Tell us all again
What you think we should be
What the answers are
What it is we can't see
Tell us all again
How to do what you say
How to fall in line
How there's no other way
But oh / We all know

YOU'RE GUILTY ALL THE SAME
TOO SICK TO BE ASHAMED
YOU WANT TO POINT YOUR FINGER
BUT THERE'S NO ONE ELSE TO BLAME
YOU'RE GUILTY ALL THE SAME

Show us all again
That our hands are unclean
That we're unprepared
That you have what we need
Show us all again
'Cause we cannot be saved
'Cause the end is near
Now there's no other way
And oh / You will know

YOU'RE GUILTY ALL THE SAME
TOO SICK TO BE ASHAMED
YOU WANT TO POINT YOUR FINGER
BUT THERE'S NO ONE ELSE TO BLAME
YOU'RE GUILTY ALL THE SAME
GUILTY ALL THE SAME

Can y'all explain
What kind of land is this
When a man has plans of being rich
But the bosses plans are wealthy
Dirty money scheme
A clean split is nonsense
It's insane
Even corporate hands is filthy
They talk team and take the paper route
All they think about is bank accounts
Assets and realty
At anybody’s expense
No shame with a clear conscience
No regrets and guilt free
They claim that ain't the way that they built me
The smoke screen before the flame
Knowin’ as soon as the dough or the deal peak
They say it's time for things to change
Rearrange like good product rebuilt cheap
Anything if it's more to gain
Drained, manipulated like artists, it's real deep
Until no more remains
But I'm still me
Like authentic hip-hop and rock
Til’ pop and radio and record companies killed me
Try to force me to stray and obey
And got the gall to say how real can real be
You feel me, we'll see
That green could be to blame
Or greedy for the fame
TV or a name
The media, the game
To me you're all the same
You're guilty
​

Awesome song!

 

Rakim of Eric B & Rakim fame.

 

IF IT IS NOT WORKING FOR YOU:


Try using Shazam to tag Castle of Glass. We don't think it should be song specific, but it is not working for every LP song just yet. It is working for COG

 

Works for numb.
