Just as
Chester B. said two months ago, Leave Out All the Rest will be their new single, although I never thought
it would be the last for Minutes To Midnight.
It's also rumored that the next album will be named Renegade. It's just a rumor, I advise you not to take it seriously. I read it somewhere, I forgot where. Even if it's true, things can always change.
Let's go back to Minutes to Midnight. This would be the first time I wrote a review for it. I'll do each song while listening to it.
Minutes to Midnight - This term refers to the
Doomsday Clock. The end of humanity. This could be done in a number of ways: disease, famine, war. But since there is only minutes left before the doomsday, (Nuclear) war would be more acceptable. This brings us back to
Kenji and
Hiroshima one more time. read:
Politics in Music by MS.
This album is a different from all their past albums. LP has evolved in style and tastes. Besides from aging(LOL), they also matured in different ways. This turned their album into a much softer, angstless, and political album.
(unfinished)
1. Wake - Just as the album says
Wake has a double meaning, it either means waking up or a wake for the dead. It probably meant that the album is waking up. I'm not sure about the wake for the dead, though.
2. Given Up - This one is about despair, or simply giving up. Up to the point that you become your own enemy, possibly
self-harm. Although this might sound emo-ish, Chester B's monstrous screams(he screams for 17 seconds straight!) turn it into something else. It becomes a fun, head-banging tune.
3. Leave Out All The Rest - This song talks about leaving your mark, being missed.
4. Bleed It Out
5. Shadow Of The Day
6. What I've Done
7. Hands Held High
8. No More Sorrow
9. Valentines Day
10. In Between
11. In Pieces
12. The Little Things Give You Away
14. No Roads Left (Bonus Track)
But wait, Where is Mr. Hahn in all of this? I only heard his scratching on What I've Done.

BTW, congratulations to Hybrid Theory for reaching diamond status.
