Album is called Living Things, releases June 26th.

they need a new vocalist.

The Mana Legend · Apr 13, 2012

I'm not going to lie. I really loved their first album.

Now I can't tell the difference between any of their songs.

Kyon · Apr 13, 2012

Just like What I've done, and New Divide it sounds almost the same smh still i like it

Awesome cover art, the sample not so much.

pxleyes · Apr 13, 2012

Sounds the same as always. Wish they would experiment more. Frankly, just fold LP and give me more Fort Minor.

What is this I don't even?

Truth be told, I like Bennington's vocals. Sure, a lot of their older music was a little..eh. But I liked it then for what it was worth, and I certainly like some of their new stuff.

Anyways, song sounds like it could be fun, I like the music.

Also, Iron Man. And if you mirror image one side of his face he looks like the devil. :lol

I read an article once about why they all sound the same, something to do with their composition. Nickelback has the same problem, but much more so.

There was another sample with Shinoda rapping for a few bars, can't find it, still, much better first listen than the Catalyst.

JLG- · Apr 13, 2012

Linkhero1 · Apr 13, 2012

But in the end it doesn't even matter

Kamek · Apr 13, 2012

It doesn't sound the same at all to me, but it does sound like a pop-song eerily enough.

I read that in his voice.

-PXG- · Apr 13, 2012

It has a poppy/ dance sound to it. wat?

Loxley · Apr 13, 2012

I can just see the next Transformers credits sequence.

Slow pan behind Optimus Prime, looking into a sunrise...*queue music*

"We're building it -"

Cut to black with "Directed by Michael Bay"

"UUUUUUUUUUUUPPPPPP"

I swear all of their songs are just generated by a machine now.

AgentChris · Apr 13, 2012

What happened to Fort Minor? They made a cool a album.

SmithnCo · Apr 13, 2012

Burn it down indeed.

Arment · Apr 13, 2012

I liked their first two albums but this sounds like the same stuff they've put out since then.

Aurongel · Apr 13, 2012

Ughn, that was depressing on so many levels.

Horse Detective · Apr 13, 2012

Hybrid Theory and Meteora were fun!

scosher · Apr 13, 2012

I did like the Waiting For the End single from their last album...

but that was pretty much it.

Kyon · Apr 13, 2012

Surprised this wasnt for the Transformers 3 OST

Hydrogen Bluebird · Apr 13, 2012

Amazing how people still feel like LP puts out the same sounding songs all the time. Haven't you guys heard A Thousand Suns?

Lumination · Apr 13, 2012

Sounds ok. Will wait to hear the rest. I wish Shenoda did vocals more often.

Korey · Apr 13, 2012

Not that great from the snippet. Sounds like that other song they did for Transformers 1 or 2

Man, go back to the freaking perfect formula you had in Hybrid Theory.

sk3 · Apr 13, 2012

I'd prefer something new from Mike Shinoda/Fort Minor.

This.

But I do agree the chorus in the clip is pretty predictable. Not bad, just generic. Still, the song as a whole probably will be pretty nice.

Atilac · Apr 13, 2012

I feel like I've heard this song before

jett · Apr 13, 2012

Sounds like every other song they've ever made.

Oozer3993 · Apr 13, 2012

I'd give a non-critical body part for a new Fort Minor album. The Rising Tied is fantastic.

Sai-kun · Apr 13, 2012

I'm hyped I'm hyped. I'm ready for a new album

I'd give your body part for a new Fort Minor album.

distantmantra · Apr 13, 2012

Where tha Gundams at?

LOCK · Apr 13, 2012

Sounds better than anything from their last album, but that's not saying a whole lot.

Fou-Lu · Apr 13, 2012

I agree with the Fort Minor love in this thread. I'll admit I like the first few LP albums, but the last two were bad. Fort Minor though was an amazing experiment and needs to come back.

I liked some stuff off Reanimation. Now I will hang my head in shame.

Horse Detective · Apr 13, 2012

This thread reminds me of this.

Kaizer · Apr 13, 2012

I love Hybrid Theory, Meterora, & Reanimation. Minutes to Midnight was alright and I found their last album to be completely sucky outside the first single.
EDIT: Just heard the clip, gotta admit, ever since What I've Done came out with Transformers, almost all of their songs have started to bleed into one another.
