It's really hard to tell honestly. It's only Chester's vocals. It seems to have heavy electronic elements in it, more than A Thousand Suns tracks. But I'm not 100% sure

So for the people who heard the supposed "low quality video" what did it sound like? Not asking for opinions, just asking what it sounded like.

Even though I've only heard what can only be described as the worst quality song ever uploaded to YouTube, I can tell that Burn It Down is going to be a favorite of mine and a very successful single.

I heard portions of it from some of the leaks (yes, I'm ashamed of myself for listening to those and somewhat spoiling the song for myself). But god damn, it sounds AMAZING. Normally, songs take me a while to get used to. This just had me hooked right away, despite the fact that it is probably in the crappiest quality possible and I can hardly make out half the words. It reminds me of New Divide. No screaming (at least from what I can hear in the little snippets of it), but a very powerful chorus. Chester's practically yelling at the top of his lungs. It sounds great.

I think the chorus goes like this (like I said, it's hard to make out some of the words with the crappy quality):

"Building it uuuuup! Break it back dowwwwnn! Building it uuuuup, burn it down, it can't wait, burrrrn it down."
