Been listening and watching the music vid of Linkin Park's latest song "What I've Done", taken from their latest album "Minutes to Midnitght". I don't even care or even know if this is the best song in this album but I love the message behind "What I've Done", their music vid says it all, highlights global issues that's happening so rampantly all over the world, like starvation in Africa, global warming, weight issues, drugs, self-image, pollution, war, terrorism, captured in a compact yet effective 3 mins + of film. Linkin Park seems to be changing their direction a lil' but yeah their style's pretty much unchanged. Fans will be pleasantly surprised by their lil' alteration in direction but yeah you can still find some of their trademark hardcore rap pieces in this album.
This album's so darned fine, all of the songs in "Minutes to Midnight" are highly addictive. But if I really gotta choose, on my first listen, "What I've done", "Leave out all the rest", "Hands held high", "No more sorrow", "Valentine's Day" and "In between" definitely nailed it for me. Love the way they arranged all the pieces into this album, the soft and hard alternates seamlessly, when you're finally done with it, you'll find yourself breathless. Taking you through war, terrorism, polluted lands and seas, battling with your own self mentally, you'd have this feeling of going into the darkness and then coming back into the light after 60 +/- mins of "Minutes to Midnight". Helluva ride, as always, with LP. Salut to all at LP for keeping it real and not too preachy. LP always work for me, what about you?
Take a look at my playlist and enjoy as all the issues of the world flash right in front of you, literally.
Note: Some pieces may get a lil' emo for me but the angsty rap pieces always balances it all ;D
Notice the lyrics of all the songs in this album, repetition's a style that stands out in this one. Hmmm like lyric poetry? Heck I'd wanna do a thesis focus on LP's music for graduation. Lol. Makes me feel like blowing $20 bucks on their album man!
And Chester looks so goddamn hot in the vid, the black skinny jeans, the shades, the gloves, arrgghhh I wanna see them in concert!
This album's direction a lil' U2-ish, you know how Bono and his band has this universal take on issues concerning the world and stuff? But I'd much prefer LP's alternative rock style, not too cheesy and preachy for me. ;)
Best way to enjoy LP? Blast em' speakers.
