Somehow. It somehow confirms it.

^LOL.
It was sort of obvious this would be the next single, anyway. By far the best choice. What they'll do after this is the question though.

I really can't get into their new material. It's just too ''poppy'' for Linkin Park imo. This is no exception.

I was hoping to see Blackout, but this is a good choice too.
Don't think it's gonna do anything on Active though.

I'm kind of shocked that Waiting For The End tanked so brutally hard on Active.

Third #1 this era? I think so.
This was my favorite from A Thousand Suns, so naturally I'm excited that it's getting the release. I don't think that it'll crack the top forty on Active though.

Cool to hear this being a likely possibility, if not definite third single. Not sure how it'll do but it's a good song.

I'm kind of shocked that Waiting For The End tanked so brutally hard on Active. Why? After "The Catalyst" barely went top 10 (or did it not even reach the top 10?!), a lighter poppier song in a Major key that's a follow-up rather than a lead single wasn't going to do very well on active rock.

Oh, you with all this major key-minor key stuff. Maybe I figured Linkin Park had built up enough credibility over the years at active that they would continue to do at least somewhat decently with a song that isn't that terribly much of a stretch from some other songs they've been letting chart high at active lately. It's what used to be a core Active artist with a second single that is at least IMO the best song on that album and it didn't even hit Top 20? That's a long fall from their previous peaks, no matter how you slice it. Even "Shadow Of The Day" from Minutes did Top 10. There's no excuse that can be made other than that active rock stations are thick. Especially when this is doing the complete opposite at Alternative.

Linkin Park make the prettiest videos nowadays. I'll have to watch this one a bit more though.

That's an awesome video. Now someone tell me what the hell is happening in it. I've only seen it once but I *think* the general idea was people in it alienating their relationships with others through their actions? Kinda like building on the, 'So don't apologize, I'm losing what I don't deserve' lines? I'm definitely not sure on this. Or, you know, it could have been made for purely aesthetic reasons. Slo-mo is usually entertaining in itself.
