The Underground
#30

[quote=KAlina Black][quote=Stephen Errity]I absolutly love Burn It Donw!!!

once again Linkin Park has created a new genre of music, just like they have every time they come out with a new CD.

I’m proud to say that ive been a die hard through and through since the begining and FINALLY they are to my litle section of the world.

I LOVE IT :)…cant wait till the new album

#32

I agree, and maybe the album will be so great like Meteora :slight_smile:

#33

When I heard the intro to “Burn It Down,” I didn’t know quite what to think, but as the rest of the song played, I really got into it. The more I listened to it, the more I loved it.
I’m excited see exactly how the band combines their “old” and “new” sounds in one harmonious package.
Maybe Living Things will be like A Thousand Suns in that, it sounds unusual at first, but after you become accustomed to it, you can really enjoy it.

Great Single! Can’t Wait To Hear The Whole Living Things Album! XD

#35

I dig it! The sound of this song leads me to believe there will be songs both harder and softer than it on the album. Don’t ask why. :stuck_out_tongue:

#36

I think it really fits what the band is saying they’re doing: using all the tools in the toolbox.

Still, LP managed to make another unique sound. They are GODLIKE at it.

From BID I got my hopes really high for the album :slight_smile:

#37

It’s fantastic. I have to say, while I was wholly prepared for whatever it might have been, I’m thrilled they returned to a sound that resembles Hybrid Theory/Meteora.

I’ve listened to it so much and can’t wait for Living Things @.@

#38

this song is so awesome !
I can’t stop pressing the replay button every time i listen to it :slight_smile:

#39

Exactly what I thought! It resembles more like Meteora/New Divide, hope it’s just like Meteora or even Hybrid Theory(one can dream lol)

#40

Definitely a good song. But I can’t wait to listen to the new album, and I hope there will even be some better songs on it.

#41

I think is a good song. My 1st impression was “New divide with rap”, but this song is quite better. It’s very “catchy”, difficult to get it out of the head. [wink]

#42

I found it a little hard to break into ats, especially since it was a new sound for lp. I came to loce the album. Now that i enjoy their new style burn it down is a great single.

#43

I’m probably a little bit older than most of you but when I first heard it, it kinda reminded me of Duran Duran, which is not a bad thing for me cause they were one of my favorite bands back then.

That said, I do like the song not just because of that but because it’s very hard from me not to like anything Chester might sing and I always have an open mind when it comes to LP and their diverse style.

#44

I was hooked at the intro, lol! I’m on pins and needles now for the cd (which I had to pre-order…too much temptation!!)

Why can’t it be June already? lol!

#45

I can´t stop hearing it… goooooooooooooooood!

#46

Even after listening to it 1000 times i still think its great

#47

i love it! it seems that they’ve found a good middle ground between old style LP and ATS stuff. I like that it’s structured sort of like their old songs (Chester singing but with Mike rap parts) but that it’s also more like their recent work because it’s more electronic sounding. All in all it’s a great song and me and my friends get in my jeep and listen to it after school and have a ton of fun- good upbeat, loud awesome

#48

At first I kind of thought that the guitar in the background at the beginning reminded me of Blackout… I can’t hear it as much now, but I did xD

The song as a whole is actually one of my favourites. It’s just…different :stuck_out_tongue: Hoping for some hardcore headbangers on Living Things though :3

#49

After a good 10 listens, I’ve decided I’m not a fan. Here’s why:

  1. Waaaay too dancy. ATS at least made the drums sound somewhat realistic. This feels like a 100% electronic dance-pop song.

  2. The structure is exactly the same as Blackbirds, which was another song I’m “meh” on.

  3. For some reason it seems Mike’s rapping is getting slower and slower with each album. There could have been a lot more words thrown into the verse here.

  4. Overall the impression this song gives me is something off of their LPU Demos CDs. It seems light, fluffy, and easy. Hopefully the rest of the album will have more meat.

This is coming from someone who has been a fan since 2001, and really liked ATS.
