i really dont like it, its a good mainstream album. But, it has just lost the something special which made me like Linkin Park so much! im very dissopointed in them and i feel let down. also slightly pissed off because we have been waiting for this for the last two years.

YES!!! I AGREE WITH YOU!!!

[littleblackstone]

honestely... i like 50%, i dislike 50%....

 

i dont hate the whole album.. but I was expecting a MTM WAAAYYY BETTEEEEERR!!!

[GraDoN]

im very happy with what ive heard so far

[The Flashing Fish]

Wake- Really builds up the anticipation. Starts off slow. It suggests that something new is being created or something is evolving. A metaphor? Maybe? I think so. But it does a great job building up the anticipation.

 

Given Up- Has a great fight tune to it.It would work well in a fight movie. It also fights in with the lyrics (a fight within). I think the second verse could be better out of the entire song. IMO, it keeps the song from being great. It's stuck inbetween good and great. I think Joe Hahn could have done some scratching in the bridge. It could give it a better edge, if you know what I mean.

 

Leave Out All the Rest- A very slow, but emotional piece. It doesn't sound anything like LP, which for devout fans, may isolate you guys. The lyrics are LP, so maybe the fans can relate to LP that way. I think it's a very good piece.

 

Bleed it Out- Fort Minorish track. I liked the Rising Tide. So very kick ass track. It's the "Nobodys Listening" of MTM.

 

Shadow of the Day- Another slow song, but very different from Leave Out All the Rest. It begins to pick up after the first verse. I think devout LP fans will be able relate to this song a lot better then Leave Out All the Rest. It reminds me of the opening for Reanimation, except with singing. And the small guitar solos really add to the song.

 

What I've Done- I won't get into it.

 

Hands Held High- A very political song. Mike's lyrics are just great. I think it definitely shows what political side LP is on (Democrat if you haven't been able tell...). But it's a very good song. Who is singing "Hands Held High until..." Is it Mike, or Chester, or both? I really don't know. And who is singing "Amen?"

 

No More Sorrow- I think this is THE track on the entire album. Very edgy, angry, and just pissed in general. Once more, it's pretty political if you listen to the lyrics, and everything fits together perfectly.

 

Valentine's Day- Reminds me a tad bit of Shadow of the Day. It's just a great emotional song. The guitars eventually fully kick in. Overall, it's a great song (it does remind me a tad bit of Green Day though).

 

In Between- Mike's singing is great. The lyrics are once more, very emotional and the entire song is apologetic. Is that an organ playing? I just wish the song was longer, but it is a great song.

 

In Pieces- Finally, a faster paced song. Just a very paced song. Finally, Mr. Hahn is back on this track! The lyrics, are great. They flow very well. And the guitar solo is great. I think any LP fan that has been waiting for a guitar solo will like this song. Heck, I think any LP fan will like this song. The lyrics are LP, Mr. Hahn is back in this song, and there is a guitar solo.

 

The Little Things Give You Away- Once more, Mr. Hahn is back! I'm really suprised that people don't like this song. I think it is great. Is it the acoustic guitar? You should really listen to the whole 6 minutes of the song before making a judgement. I think this song, IMO, is comparable to 311's Sometimes Jacks Rule the Realm. It's different, but it's still not a huge a departure from their particular "style." If you're putting this song, please listen to it again with an open mind.

 

Overall, I think the album kicks ass.

[DarknessLover]

Thank you very much for looking at this song in a postive way. I will have my own review once I finish listening to it straight through.

[LPHybridSnax]

Some songs are a little boring, but Bleed It Out got me going there, happy to hear mike is still rappin' despite the rumors

[Breakdown Conspiracy]

Well, I dont hate it cause they are still LP and still pwn. But I hvnt finished gting the album yet. But not to worry kiddies ill be buying the cd/dvd vr whens its out.

My (positive) Review of MTM

 

Wake - I love the intro, it shows that it has it's light parts, and it has it's heavy parts which makes you know this album will be fan-fucking-tastic. 4/5

 

Given Up - The guitar keeps nice and heavy through the chorus, and the verses actually maintain a great bass line. The second verse is okay, it feels like it was kind of forced into the song, but it does keep the song moving, and still dark and heavy. This song is very close to the old LP. (Minus the curses!) 5/5

 

Leave Out All the Rest - Very emotional, it's a song anyone can be touched by. This song is just beautiful, the slow calm verses, and the semi-hard chorus just gives you that perfect balance in a song. I think this is one of the most touching songs on the album. The bridge is sounds like it came out of no where, yet it is still very well made, so it does fit in the album. 4/5

 

Bleed It Out - Holy shit...Mike! MIKEY! This song is definately meant to feel like a Live Song. The whole image is just great. It sounds like Mike just walked onto the stage, and is making his introduction. The verses will just shock you to the core. The chorus with Chester is okay, kind of kills some of the feel. This song is definately a Fort Minor kind of song, still fucking fantastic, the bass and guitar work perfect with the song. 4.5/5

 

Shadow of the Day - "Closer"? The drum machine completely sounds like the famous Nine Inch Nails song. It's nice to Mr.Hahn kick in, but it's not the Hahn we know. This Hahn is more into the drums and rhythm. This song for some reason gives me this slight reminder, that the LP we knew, is long and gone...I have to say, you need to listen to the song straight through to really appreciate this song, overall it's not too bad, hearing the song slowly build up. It's emotional again, and the mini guitar solo's perfectly fit the mood. I only give it 3.5 because the song overall is very U2 sounding. 3.5/5

 

What I've Done - We've all heard this a million times over, so I give it. 4/5

 

Hands Held High - I love Mike slowly coming into the song, it takes some time for his voice too completely come in. This song has a total Democratic feel. I feel a music video for this coming. I can imagine Mike sitting on a couch and being insecure at the start, and slowly he becomes more confident, and starts fully rapping after hearing Amen, which makes him knows he's not the only one feeling the same thing. The song is amazing overall, I love the nice slow drum. To hear Mike singing in the Bridge just makes me sigh, Gotta love Mike. 5/5

 

No More Sorrow - Sounds much different than the live version, but fantastic all the same. The song keeps a nice heavy feel to it throughout, and it just tells you that "We are Linkin Park, so just fucking get over it." The song is very hateful, and you can hear that in Chester's voice. It has a very haunting feel in it with the "I'm aware of what you've done." I feel this is the opposite of What I've Done. WID had the feel of we are all slowly killing ourselves. But This song has the "It's time we do something" feel in it. The song overall is extremely heavy. 5/5

 

Valentine's Day - Once again another U2 influenced song. It is great all the same. It keeps a very sorrow filled beat through out, but all in all I just know this is a great song. You can really feel the song, it has the pain in the beginning. It's more of a depressing. It's more of a person without a love, all alone, not really caring. But Valentine's Day makes him realise. All in all, fantastic song, but it does end abruptbly, they could have one more verse, but they just didn't have it. 3.5/5

 

In Between - Mike again! This time just singing, no rap. This song in my mind is beautiful, it keeps a sorrowful tune, but you can tell he is sorry. I felt the love in the song, Mike fully succeeded in letting out the emotions he wanted to share. I really appreciate this song, being an only Mike singing, and this letting you know LP is different. I think beat was great too, very slow, and calming. 4.5/5

 

In Pieces - I feel this song was one of the most intresting songs, the guitar was very awkward (in a good way). Chester does very well in screaming, at an average sound. Like the What I've Done Chorus, just playing throughout the song, and keeping it different. The emotion he shows is great. He succesfully shows some hatred, but really calmned with this loving passion. The solo was very good! Nice and quick, and it reminded me of My Chemical Romance kind of solo's. The solo was a great time to pick up the song, and the ending was weird, but really good. 4/5

 

The Little Things Give You Away - This song was odd, and very long for LP. I loved the song all together! You need to listen to it straight through to really really love the song. IT takes some time to really get into it, but it really is great. The solo was as emotional as LP had put it, so I really congrat them on such a great solo. It was nice to hear the Acoustic Guitar, and to hear they played it well. The chorus was nice and intresting, fun to pick apart, and pull out all the instruments. This song is fantastic. 5/5

[misery]

I like each song more and more each time I listen to them. Which proves that first impressions aren't everything. I really love this album.. maybe not as much as Meteora or Hybrid Theory, but I still think it's awesome.

[XrockinfreakX]

I like it a lot.

 

A lot.

 

Im glad I gave into downloading it.

That had to hurt...

[DarknessLover]

Nah, it was really soothing actually. Made me cry a bit (Track 3 reminded me how I am moving, and I am going to be losing my Girlfriend...)

[Conjure]

That sucks man. Wish you all the best..

 

In regards to the album, still haven't listened to it, but from what I've heard (the clips of Given Up and What I've Done previously released) I'd say it's gonna be awesome.

[LÎnkinPärkExtreme]

seems like most people on lpf like it

That's a good thing :-P Means more people will hopefully support the band and buy the new album. :thumbsup:

[Breakdown Conspiracy]

I think it's kinda strange to hear people talking negative about the album...

 

After Meteora there were so many people saying "Oh it sounds so much like HT"...and that they haven't changed and stuff...

 

and now they really have changed and some people also don't like that.

 

There will probably never be an album that all the fans will totaly like

 

I think it's great to see some progress...

 

Let's just wait a couple of weeks and then we will see how much the album is able to grow on people

 

I found Meteora more altrock.

 

But my opinon:

 

Wake - Good intro, reminded me of ASP from LPU6 10/10

 

Given Up - Tis ok, good riff, reminds me so of OSC...all the angry screaming. Nice bouncy riff n chorus though. 6/10

 

Leave Out All The Rest - Serious one of my fave on the album. 10.5/10

 

Bleed it Out - Interesting, the best example of how they have changed. The bridge rocks, the chorus isnt the best though. kinda short too 8.5/10

 

Shadow of the Day - Seriously reminds of SIB with that backward masking synth. Sounds really 80's pop/All American Rejects/U2, HAHA you can't stay it dosent. not reeaaally my style though. 7/10

 

What I've Done - Perfect for their 1st single, because it still has the experimental elements from their previous recordings of yesteryear. 10/10

 

Hands Held High - Yes, as most people say, it does sound like "Like Toy Soldiers", but mikes concept of our modern frantic world is good, he dosent do like most artists do, which is say fuck bush im right. He considers all sides.. eg: "the leader stutering in a nervous way/people laughing what did he say." He considers how someone like bush IS under presure, and he is only human too, who gets nervous, scared and has human emotion. Mike sings w00t! the chours sounds like queen LOL 9/10

 

No More Sorrow - Nothing too special bout this song, good, solid riff, and singing. All round good though. Needs more mike 8.5/10

 

Valentine's Day - Its good. Glad it didnt sound like U2. Piano solo is good too. And the climax is good too, with distorted guitar etc. 9.5/10

 

In Between - Haha go mike! I love thee ole sampling and cello. I luv it, good ole experimentalness. At the start the vocals dont complete fit, and may put people off. But it rocks. 9.8/10

 

In Pieces - The drums sound alittle imature, that I would expect from Panic at the disco, but they are ok. But the solo...omg the solo...good one brad, finally. It works well in the end. 8.5/10

 

 

The Little Things Give You Away - Wow, its so different, the experimental drum beat is cool, yet get a teeny bit anoying. Acoustic guitar is neat. reminds me of my music. The vocals are rather deep which are interesting. Once robs drums come it its neat. And the breakdown/instrumental bridge is good, neat guitar and synth. WOW now that i listen, tis amazing and epic =D. but its no too original =P LOL .And it ends rather nicely, the whole song sounds like some atmopheric music in a cafe.

7.5/10

 

Final Score: 8.7/10 w00t! good work LP.

 

Mike needed to rap more, and the beats and whole atmosphere needed to be more bouncy and quick, and not as poppy n slow.
