jgoss
it's growing on me we'll have to see the video to judge it better

Wow, so much hate for Linkin Park here. I like them…however, this was not the best live performance of this song I've seen from them.
Digilaut
We do?

We know its going to be a terrible movie, but having this "song" in the soundtrack is like pouring salt in an open wound and using wet sand paper soaked in lemon juice to rub it in.

Did Linkin Park finally learn how to write a song longer than 3 minutes?

They'd be better off lip syncing. The vocals are horribly out of tune. And it looks like they're using in-ear monitors, so either the monitor system was down or having probs, their monitor mixer sucks, or they can't actually sing. Watching any live performance will reveal the answer to be the latter. It's too bad b/c their records sound pretty good and this is a decent song

I love the fact they aren't lipsycning. It's all realll

I have high hopes for this song like the last two songs, New Divide and What I've Done, have been great. As for Linkin Park the band, they have steadily gone downhill with each album release since Meteora. This is not a troll just an observation.

I quite lilked the song, although the heavily distorted guitar starting at 02:35 reminded me too much of this video and I couldn't take it too seriously after that
