Hm. Interesting. I figured this would be a single at some point too. Easily the highlight of the album.

Hmm. Wasn't expecting this to be next. Thought for sure it was going to be "Burning In the Skies" or possibly "Wretches & Kings".

I like "Burning in the Skies" better, but this song works for me too.

the only descent songs left from the album were burning in the skies and iridescent, their choice to release both song almost simultaneously almost convince me that they want to get rid of this album and start work on a new one as soon as they can

I would have rather had "Burning In The Skies," but this should still do very well and cross over to Hot AC and Pop.

Ah ha. Figured out why they switched it: "It seems that Michael Bay just can't quit Linkin Park as the band seems to have been tapped to contribute a song and possible more for Transformers: Dark of the Moon. According to a source that wishes to remain anonymous, Bay chose "Burning In The Skies" from their current album A Thousand Suns for the movie's soundtrack. As a result instead of Burning as their next single it will now be "Iridescent"." transformerslive.blogspot.com/2011/01/linkin-park-returns-for-transformers-3.html

I don't understand. Wouldn't they use "Burning" to promote the movie?

Wow. It hasn't gone platinum yet? How could it? They've had no hits at Pop or Hot AC this time around, WFTE barely made the Top 20 at Pop. Anyway, just to update: "Waiting For The End" holds at #6 on the Billboard Alternative Songs chart this week, it's 30th week on the chart. Chart run thus far: 37-26-23-12-10-7-6-4-4-3-3-3-2-2-2-1-1-1-2-1-2-2-3-2-2-4-5-5-6-6. charts.bdsradio.com/bdsradiocharts/charts.aspx?formatid=6That's 26 weeks/6 months in the Top 10 at their core radio format.

Albums can go platinum without pop hits.

Albums can go platinum without pop hits. True, but LP have always had help from crossover hits. Album sales have also continued to decline overall compared to when their previous 3 albums were released, so they're fighting an uphill battle with this album.

This is definitely pop-friendly. Should do some damage there.

You don't have to be tough to write/perform heavy music convincingly though.

Love this song. Probably my favorite off the album. I think it could follow 'WFTE' and crossover to HotAC at the least
