Anyone heard it yet?
Had it a few days and can't stop listening to it! I'd heard a year or two ago it was going to be a "concept album" and shuddered at the thought, waited while the dead by sunrise album came out ahead of this and finally the time came for them to release, they let loose a single "the catalyst" which I disliked, didn't think it sounded like "them" and then I heard "wretches and kings" and thought the same. I've booked tickets to see them in November and was starting to worry that it wouldn't be the awesomeness I was looking forward to...
Then I got the complete album and realised that its meant to be listened to as a whole. each track follows on from the next and forms a thread through the album. the catalyst and wretches and kings now make sense in the context of the album and they have some awesome stuff in there.
They have a remixed version of a speech by Martin Luther King Jr which I thought would have been detrimental to it to be honest but it really fits and keeps its potency.
Anyone even vaguely interested in Linkin Park should give it a listen, would be interested to see what other org members think though, I might just be completely brainwashed but I love it. It's even better than Minutes to Midnight which I thought was awesome to start with!
