I agree Dex. Z3R0, everybody is entitled to an opinion, you've posted yours a couple times in a couple discussions, thats fine, If you don't like the new album, that's fine, but why would you post a bad review in the middle of a thread in which people are discussing what they LIKE about it. Clearly we LIKE the album so dont post arrogant immature crap like that to people who are having legitimate conversations.

Thank you everyone for the thoughts on the new album! i enjoyed reading each and everyone of them, you guys really have some great thoughts on the album, and im glad to see that alot of people out there like me really enjoy listening to this album from start to finish, i am glad that more people gave their opinion and wrote about each song so i could get a better understanding for each song, for those of you that dont like it, i dont know what to tell you besides this is Linkin Park, if you dont like it then dont listen to it, i went to the release concert and it was amazing, when The Requiem came on, i could feel the bass echoing through out my entire body, i honestly LOVE Linkin Park, because they are true to themselves, thats why thats why they inspire me, if theres anything more that anyone would like to say please feel free, i love reading it all

@Erik Paul Michael
thanks alot man,who needs wikipedia.lol
As stated by previous posters,this album has so many layers,ones-to be honest- i didnt appreciate at first.
I actually put it down swearing to myself that I probably(haha) wouldn't listen to it again.Only the almost euphoric "let me go" part of iridescent brought me back for more.
I honestly didnt know what to think of ATS,nor had a clue about what to expect of the record,hence the initial shock on the first listen.What I do know is that if people got their wish for a "screaming" LP and nothing but, they'd find band members attempting increasingly more solo projects.We all know how that ends up.
This album has its' flaws(some out of synch issues?)but they in know way detract from the quality or intent of the album.
What some haters are neglecting to accredit to the band is the out and out cajones they've shown in releasing it at all.
I take my hat off to them for having the courage in releasing such a groundbreaking piece of work.
That said,I hope it's only "cheerio not goodbye" to the bone crunching riffs.
The unshakable sense of doom and foreboding suggest to me that the angst-ridden LP are still well and truly with us.

@Chris Banisch et al.
great to see there's others who approach music with their ears,eyes and hearts open.
I for one am amazed at the negativity surrounding ATS.Sure,everyone's got an opinon and that's fine, but I thought LP desarved far more faith and respect after a decade of brilliantly diverse music.
They reinvigorated my love of rock music.(not the only one I'm sure)
Sick of all the safe and monotonous dirge that preceded the millenium and distraught at the sad demise of Kurt Cobain and Layne Stayley,I'd nearly given up(no pun intended).
Faith No More hadn't done anything noteworthy in a while...things looked bleak.
Then,along came Linkin Park,who-imo-encapsulated all the qualities of Alice In Chains and Faith No More.The rest,as they say,is history.
I'm now completely hooked.
The maturity shown on some of their latest songs is gobsmacking.They've cordoned off the mosh-pit for this one.
What genre is When They Come For Me by the way?Who knows and who cares.It's as good a song as they've ever done.
And speaking of The Requiem,the goosebumps I got when I first heard it could've cut glass.
As for Waiting For The End?Utter brilliance.
Apologies for the lack of dissertation,however i feel there is a common theme running through the whole album,Armageddon being the main one imo.
The inner meaning of the songs themselves are there for interpretation and going off the views in this thread most people are of a similar opinion.That in itself feels gratifying.
Not as gratifying as putting the album on again though.
speaking of which........................................

this maybe isn't as impressive as that cracker from Erik Paul Michael,but Ernest Rutherford,the supposed "father of nuclear physics" went to my dads' school in Manchester.
YES,I have a tenuous link with this album,and therefore LP.
I expect no backstage passes though.
desperation?
one of my favourite sai king books.
no spam this:::check out Only Revolution......a new album by imo the saviours of british rock music,BIFFY CLYRO......not the best band name in the world but a tremendous album nonetheless.....superb,especially Many Of Horror and Bubbles

people dont like the new album because its hugely different from what theyve done in the past, the best part about it ass is that Linkin Park can do what they want! they dont care if it doesnt sell a mill, as long as it sounds good to them thats what matters

Two words: 'The Catalyst'. That song sent me into the sky. Honestly, that is the most epic LP song since 'One Step Closer'. It just killed me.

Totally agree with you, the lyrics were so brilliant and the creativity. This album is really serious and they aren't getting pollitical there just speaking truth and warning you this could happen anytime. The Nuclear Fallout theme is just great, even the music sounds like engines of nuclear power, all of it has it's own theme. It's just such clever music, and people don't respect it, they just want them to go back to making very heavy rock. To be honest i'll admit, ATS isn't better than there first two overall. But it's definitely there most intelligent album.
