I have no idea what they were going for, but they failed at whatever it was.

It's like a weird cross between early rave music and Pretty Hate Machine-era Nine Inch Nails that turns into a power ballad at the end.

So is this there official version? I know alot of them have been user created as some part of a contest. I liked the song until that techno- Mortal Kombat-sounding synth came in.

I wasn't too hot on it at first, but it is starting to grow on me - however it does sound like they mashed up a few musical styles that don't really blend well together. Hopefully this isn't the 'best' track off the record (which singles rarely are anyhow).

Sounds like there is a decent song in there, but it's buried under the odd musical styles.
Doesn't sound like Linkin Park either, but at least they are experimenting instead of punching out the same thing time and again.

Its growing on me Ill admit. The lyrics and singing melody is definitely good. The actual music.. idk like I said its better than the first time I heard them.

Jeez, what the hell is wrong with these guys? Are they trying to piss off the fans that have listened to them since the beginning? I understand trying some new stuff and changing it up so everything doesn't sound the same but this is brutal. I have everything else they released (including the live albums and the mix with Jay Z) but if this is a taste of what the new album is I'll be passing on it. This is a band I would say if it's not broke, don't fix it.

I kinda liked the first song even if the weird techno-synth thing isn't really my taste, but the second song was godawful.
