Did this song make the last August 1, 2010 chart, or does it still have a chance to be a debut number 1? It got its first spin today, so it'll have a 6 days build to debut on Mediabase and 7 on Billboard/BDS. Answering your question, yes, it can still debut at no. 1

The more I listen to this the more I love it. Those who didn't like it, I say give it another try. It kind of threw me off at first too. It wasn't what I was expecting, but I'm glad it wasn't predictable. Also.. just found this. Its the "Digital Edition" cover. I'm guessing since the other one is holographic, and you can't quite do that on itunes, they did a different one. I like it a lot more.

Yeah, I wasn't born with the sense of pretentiousness necessary to be a music snob and enjoy bland music. I still don't like this song. I see what you're saying. Just because it's artsy, doesn't mean it's good.

I like this a lot more than "What I've Done" and "New Divide". They pulled off going back to their roots and expanding their sound at the same time. The fact that there's not just a massive blow out and the ending goes in a different direction makes it all the more interesting to me.

I still want to hear the full album version. I know sometimes when taking a song thats over 5 minutes and cutting it down to a radio edit can make it lose some of its original spark. Even though I still love it, I feel like the full version will be even better.

Is the radio edit available yet, or just the video game promo mix?

But it could be the radio edit (Minus the part with the missiles) I still want to hear the full album version. I know sometimes when taking a song thats over 5 minutes and cutting it down to a radio edit can make it lose some of its original spark. Even though I still love it, I feel like the full version will be even better. Yeah, I'm interested to hear whether they include more lyrics or more instrumental. I think both. There 2 more minutes we need to hear. I also think the radio edit will be different than this video game edit. Wasn't this supposed to go to radio today? If so, does that mean this is the actual edit? Just curious.

It was just played on Radio 1 in the UK a moment ago, but I missed it. I think it was the full album version.

^Yep! Sounds like it. The intro is different. ETA: The chorus has more added to it. I hope someone is ripping this. hahaha

This song is so f**king epic. It doesn't build up to a climax because the entire thing is a climax. It wasn't the full album version BBC Radio played, but it was different than the one on the video. Not by a whole lot though. Mainly in the beginning of the song. I'm guessing its the radio edit.

The words sounded a bit clearer. Or maybe the quality was just higher, lol.

I really like this song. Totally different from their other material and a refreshing change in sound. Good job, Linkin Park!

Well, I was just mad at the world because the song is not to my taste. haha "To each his own" etc. Taste is an interesting thing. I enjoyed "What I've Done" and "New Divide" because they began making songs that sounded the same that were to my taste, as opposed to making songs that sounded the same that I felt was video game music. I'll probably never like this. It sounds to me like a Nine Inch Nails album track that I skip over for being too self-indulgent. But I can't help but respect it. No one can accuse this of sounding like all their other songs.

Well, Linkin Park just took over the rock world. This is incredible. Absolutely incredible. I don't see how this is dance-y at all, but it does remind me of 30 Seconds to Mars latest album. It would fit right in on there.

OK, I just listened to the full version of this. Let me say, the radio edit doesn't do this any justice. It's epic, it's dramatic, it's got a frenetic energy throughout. I still feel uneasy after listening to it, but it works to its advantage.
I hope the radio stations play this in full.

Listening to this with headphones for the first time and there's elements in it you can barely hear on laptop speakers.

I heard this about an hour ago after all the hype. Seriously for the entire last week both Live 105 and Channel 92.3 ran commercials every hour saying they were going to world-premiere the new Linkin Park song Monday at 11:30... My first impression...while not bad, this is what they've been prepping us up for? And it's been about an hour and I really don't remember anything else about it, other than it being somewhat danc-y (but not straight-up dance). So I'll have to hear it a few more times, which I'm sure won't be hard.

^Did you hear the full album version? They looped the "lift me up. let me go" in that video more than the album version.

Actually, the 5:42 version has ~2 minutes of that, which comprises the entire 2nd part of the song. The Medal of Honor trailer has only ~1min. I think it works better in the bigger version, anyway.
My point was that that was the only thing I remembered from the song after 1 or 2 listens.

Oh.. ok. Well.. I did find the MOH trailer version to be a little more repetitive than the album version. So I thought thats what you were getting at.

1. Where's the hook? No hook comes in till 2:33 when he starts signing "lift me up, let me go" 2. Is that Mike singing the 1st part? Why do they keep having him singing? I want him to RAP. 3. Blackbirds was catchier, but way more generic typical. Catch 22.
As an album track, it would probably be my fave song on the album, but i dont know if its right for 1st single material.

I really wonder how this song will fare at active. This is definitely their most interesting and risky single, but I also think a lot of people who have become a bit fed up with Linkin Park might be reinvigorated by this song. I certainly would count myself among that group.
