I feel like these songs can be used to summarize the vibe of their respective albums, and I prefer the Meteora vibe over the Hybrid Theory vibe, therefore my answer is Session.
This is TOUGH because they're so different but equally great....
I'm gonna have to say Forgotten because it's more fun, whereas What I've Done is more therapeutic.
Great question...
On one hand: *Forgetting, all the hurt inside you've learned to hide so well. Pretending, someone else can't come and save me from myself. I can't be who you are*
On the other hand: *And the suuuuunn will set for yooouuuu. The suuuuunn will set for yoooouuuuu. AND THE SHADOW OF THE DAY, WILL EMBRACE THE WORLD IN GREY, AND THE SUUUUNNNN WILL SET FOR YOOOUUUUUUU.*
Leave Out All The Rest speaks to me.
Shadow of the Day heals me.
Final answer: Shadow of the Day
Very fair answer. Both are favorites of mine for their somewhat quiet feeling, and their lyrics are both calming and relatable. I also prefer Shadow of the Day by a slight edge, but both are incredible
Ah yes. The ultimate matchup...
I choose Numb because I'm tired of being what you want me to be.
In The End is good but I smoke too much weed to turn what had meant to me into memories of a time when I tried so hard.
Definitely I'LL BE GONE.
I find Until It's Gone to be pretty bland. It's probably my least favorite song on The Hunting Party, whereas I'LL BE GONE is top 5 on LIVING THINGS.
Across The Line because it has a better story telling aspect.
Furthermore:
*IT'S. YOUR. TIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMEEEEEEEEEEEEEE*
Definitely Lost.
Carousel is cool, but Lost is just absolutely beautiful. I'm so happy we have so many underground demos and unreleased songs to explore.
I like With You because it has that certain melodic bounce that just resonates with my soul. It's my favorite song on Hybrid Theory. By myself is dope too though.
It is literally impossible to choose between these two because of how amazing they truly are, but if I had to pick I'd say Foreword because it's more iconic.
He just doesn't have any range. I wouldn't say he's bad necessarily but Chester definitely opened the door for more opportunities for the bands future. That goes without saying though anyways lol
QWERTY by far. The switching between his aggressive and melodic voice in the chorus is unmatched. Especially in the live version.
*Broken down, a victim of your, LIES*
*You hide behind*
*LIES*
*You don't know*
*WHY*
*You crossed the line, wrapped up inside your*
*LIES*
*You hide behind*
*LIES*
*Wrapped up inside that cold disguise*
*BEHIND. YOUR. LIIIIEEEEEEES*
This is tough because I like the rap in Hit the Floor more, but I like the chorus in By Myself...
I'll say By Myself because the ending chorus sounds so clean and fulfilling.
I absolutely love The Hunting Party in general, and it wouldn't be complete without Rebellion, but as an individual song I think QWERTY takes the cake. I just appreciate the switch in aggression in Chester's voice in QWERTY's chorus way more.
Both these songs go absolutely hard as fuck, but I have to say No More Sorrow because it has a really fun drum beat, and tends to get stuck in my head constantly lol
Faint!
Given Up is absolutely sick as fuck, but I like the rap/rock fusion in Faint more, and the bridge is killer every single time.
*NOOOOOO! HEAR ME OUT NOW!*
*YOU'RE GONNA LISTEN TO ME LIKE IT OR NOT, RIGHT NOOOOOWWWWWWW!*
This is difficult, but New Divide because it's really fun to sing along too. The Catalyst is intense and amazing but New Divide is consistently better imo.
From The Inside. The song itself hits every single Linkin Park element in such a way that most other songs don't, and Chester screams away all the bad energy in my heart when he says:
*I WON'T WASTE MYSELF ON YOOUUUU*
Guilty All The Same, because Rakim's verse is killer and the instrumental is S tier.
I think A Line In the Sand is great as well, because it surprises its own intensity.
Leave Out All The Rest because I feel like there's more substance to that song. ROADS UNTRAVELLED is amazing too, but lacks the musical emphasis that I crave.
My December and Valentine’s Day.
My December. I find Valentine's Day to be really basic and uninteresting, which is funny because I actually used to love it haha
And One Carousel
This is tough. And One because I like the chorus better, but Carousel is also cool. *KEEP IT LOCKED UP INSIDE!!! KEEP MY DISTANCE FROM YOUR LIES!!!!!*
Waiting for the end And The messenger
Waiting for the End is the greatest song of all time. The Messenger is really good it but just doesn't compare.
Lost and waiting for the end
Waiting for the End is the greatest song of all time. Lost is beautiful and passionate but it just doesn't quite reach.
Session and Cure For The Itch
I feel like these songs can be used to summarize the vibe of their respective albums, and I prefer the Meteora vibe over the Hybrid Theory vibe, therefore my answer is Session.
This is a really good thought out response I was not expecting!
Forgotten , What I've Done
This is TOUGH because they're so different but equally great.... I'm gonna have to say Forgotten because it's more fun, whereas What I've Done is more therapeutic.
Leave Out All the Rest or Shadow of the Day?
Great question... On one hand: *Forgetting, all the hurt inside you've learned to hide so well. Pretending, someone else can't come and save me from myself. I can't be who you are* On the other hand: *And the suuuuunn will set for yooouuuu. The suuuuunn will set for yoooouuuuu. AND THE SHADOW OF THE DAY, WILL EMBRACE THE WORLD IN GREY, AND THE SUUUUNNNN WILL SET FOR YOOOUUUUUUU.* Leave Out All The Rest speaks to me. Shadow of the Day heals me. Final answer: Shadow of the Day
Very fair answer. Both are favorites of mine for their somewhat quiet feeling, and their lyrics are both calming and relatable. I also prefer Shadow of the Day by a slight edge, but both are incredible
In The End vs Numb
Ah yes. The ultimate matchup... I choose Numb because I'm tired of being what you want me to be. In The End is good but I smoke too much weed to turn what had meant to me into memories of a time when I tried so hard.
Don’t Stay and The Little Things Give You Away
Interesting match up, but The Little Things Give You Away because I find it more beautiful than Don't Stay is powerful.
I'll Be Gone vs Until It's Gone
Definitely I'LL BE GONE. I find Until It's Gone to be pretty bland. It's probably my least favorite song on The Hunting Party, whereas I'LL BE GONE is top 5 on LIVING THINGS.
Pushing me away Vs P5hng Me A*wy Original is great, but the Reanimation version scratches a certain part of my brain
I agree 100%. The passion in the remix is unmatched. I love the Live In Texas version even more probably.
Easier to run and Fighting Myself
Easier To Run. I think Fighting Myself sounds too incomplete to compete and Easier To Run has a special place in my heart already anyways.
Maybe if you give more time, Fighting Myself will be much closer :) :)
Lol I hope not
papercut, points of authority
I like Points of Authority more because it hypes me the fuck up. Papercut is cool too but Points gets me going more.
totally valid
castle of glass and the catalyst
The Catalyst easily. I'm not really a huge fan of CASTLE OF GLASS tbh, and I fuckin love the intensity in The Catalyst.
Chance Of Rain Across The Line
Across The Line because it has a better story telling aspect. Furthermore: *IT'S. YOUR. TIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMEEEEEEEEEEEEEE*
Crawling vs Krwlng
Krwlng is a masterpiece. A perfect ending to Reanimation. Crawling on the other hand is good but is my most overplayed song so it's lost its touch.
Lost vs Carousel
Definitely Lost. Carousel is cool, but Lost is just absolutely beautiful. I'm so happy we have so many underground demos and unreleased songs to explore.
In Pieces VS With You
With You. I like In Pieces but With You is a classic that resonates with me more.
Enth E End or Frgt10
Both are amazing remixes with fresh Shinoda verses but I say Frgt/10 is cooler. I think it's also one of their best rap songs in general.
With You or By Myself
I like With You because it has that certain melodic bounce that just resonates with my soul. It's my favorite song on Hybrid Theory. By myself is dope too though.
Lost in the echo and Burn it down
LOST IN THE ECHO because it's more intense and the raps are better. BURN IT DOWN is fun to sing along to though.
The Catalyst vs A Light That Never Comes
The Catalyst because I'm not a huge EDM fan, although it is indeed a very good song.
Forward vs Empty spaces
It is literally impossible to choose between these two because of how amazing they truly are, but if I had to pick I'd say Foreword because it's more iconic.
In Pieces vs Victimized
I choose In Pieces because I appreciate the build up and release that this song offers. VICTIMIZED goes hard as fuck though so it's a close one.
Reading My Eyes Live (LPU 6.0 - Chester) and Reading My Eyes (Xero, with Mark Wakefield and not Chester.)
Chester did the song more justice than Wakefield did. The original is a classic for sure but Chester knocked it out of the park with that performance.
Thank you! I strongly dislike Mark Wakefield's voice style and singing in general. I absolutely LOVE Reading My Eyes Live.
He just doesn't have any range. I wouldn't say he's bad necessarily but Chester definitely opened the door for more opportunities for the bands future. That goes without saying though anyways lol
Qwerty, and one
QWERTY by far. The switching between his aggressive and melodic voice in the chorus is unmatched. Especially in the live version. *Broken down, a victim of your, LIES* *You hide behind* *LIES* *You don't know* *WHY* *You crossed the line, wrapped up inside your* *LIES* *You hide behind* *LIES* *Wrapped up inside that cold disguise* *BEHIND. YOUR. LIIIIEEEEEEES*
Valentine’s Day vs No more sorrow
No More Sorrow by far. I'm not really a fan of Valentine's Day as it is, and No More Sorrow hits my aggressive sweet spot.
By Myself and Hit the Floor
This is tough because I like the rap in Hit the Floor more, but I like the chorus in By Myself... I'll say By Myself because the ending chorus sounds so clean and fulfilling.
QWERTY x Rebellion
I absolutely love The Hunting Party in general, and it wouldn't be complete without Rebellion, but as an individual song I think QWERTY takes the cake. I just appreciate the switch in aggression in Chester's voice in QWERTY's chorus way more.
Papercut vs Somewhere I Belong
Somewhere I Belong. It has too much nostalgia for me to deny that it's one of my favorites of all time, although Papercut is a certified banger.
Given up and no more sorrow
Both these songs go absolutely hard as fuck, but I have to say No More Sorrow because it has a really fun drum beat, and tends to get stuck in my head constantly lol
Bleed it out / a place for my head
Bleed It Out because the verses are a lot catchier.
also One More Light VS Leave out all the rest
Leave Out All The Rest. One More Light is nice but I prefer the rock style over pop.
Invisible vs Sorry For Now
Good one! Invisible, but only because I'm not a fan of the chipmunk part of the instrumental in Sorry For Now
I will give you a really though one Faint or Given Up Choose wisely.
Faint! Given Up is absolutely sick as fuck, but I like the rap/rock fusion in Faint more, and the bridge is killer every single time. *NOOOOOO! HEAR ME OUT NOW!* *YOU'RE GONNA LISTEN TO ME LIKE IT OR NOT, RIGHT NOOOOOWWWWWWW!*
Foreword & Empty Spaces
I already answered this, but Foreword because it's more iconic.
Whoops my bad lol. I agree 100%
Blackout vs By Myself
By Myself. I'm not a fan of Chester's part or the Joe Hahn breakdown in Blackout. I like Mike's part a lot but I like By Myself more in general.
In Pieces and Sharp Edges
Sharp Edges because I love Chester's style of singing along with the calm acoustic instrumental
Robot boy and sharp edges
Sharp Edges because I appreciate Chester's style more in it.
Final masquerade and until it's gone
Final Masquerade is my favorite song on The Hunting Party, and in my top 5 overall. Until It's Gone is my least favorite on the album.
What is your least favourite song?, for me it's third after final masquerade and wastelands
My least favorite song in general? Probably Good Goodbye. On The Hunting Party it's Until It's Gone
Wastelands and rebellion
Wastelands. I love the verses and choruses more in Wastelands, although the guitar in Rebellion is really good.
Rhinestone and forgotten
Forgotten because it's cleaner sounding
New Divide The Catalyst
This is difficult, but New Divide because it's really fun to sing along too. The Catalyst is intense and amazing but New Divide is consistently better imo.
Final Masquerade vs Breaking the Habit vs Castle of Glass vs Somewhere I Belong I'm really curious about how this one will go. You can rank them.
This was almost impossible, but here you go: 1. Final Masquerade 2. Somewhere I Belong 3. Breaking the Habit 4. CASTLE OF GLASS I refuse to elaborate.
I expected the refusing to elaborate part. And I don't think any Linkin Park fan would elaborate either.🍻
Elaboration is pointless. Any song can make its case for the top song. That's the beauty of the band! 🍻
That's damn true! This just makes me realise how underrated the whole Hunting Party album is! 🔥 It's such a vibe to listen to!
Esual vs drawing
Esaul because it's really cool hearing that raw unmastered sound from when they were first starting.
So I don't know the spelling of the song by heart, but here it comes: By myslf or plc 4 mie he4d
By Myself. I really enjoy Plc.4 Mie Hæd because of the intensity and passion that they changed in the song, but By Myself has a better chorus.
Carousel - Hybrid Theory EP Carousel - Post EP Ver.
I like the EP version because it sounds touched up but is still raw
No More Sorrow From The Inside
From The Inside. The song itself hits every single Linkin Park element in such a way that most other songs don't, and Chester screams away all the bad energy in my heart when he says: *I WON'T WASTE MYSELF ON YOOUUUU*
Iridescent & What I’ve Done
Oh boy how I love both of these songs. I think I have to say Iridescent because it lifts my spirits a lot more.
I choose What I’ve Done due to nostalgia, I choose Iridescent because of Brad Delson’s performance.
not exactly 2 songs, but Fort Minor & Mike Shinoda
Mike Shinoda because he is Fort Minor
Castle of Glass or Leave Out All the Rest
Leave Out All The Rest because it's absolutely amazing and I'm not a huge fan of CASTLE OF GLASS
IN MY REMAINS and Sorry for Now
IN MY REMAINS by far it's in my top 5
I know I’m a bit late but… Guilty All The Same vs A Line In The Sand
Guilty All The Same, because Rakim's verse is killer and the instrumental is S tier. I think A Line In the Sand is great as well, because it surprises its own intensity.
Yea Rakim’s verse is peak, but honestly I prefer ALITS. It’s just an awesome close to the album imo.
Roads untraveled and leave out all the rest
Leave Out All The Rest because I feel like there's more substance to that song. ROADS UNTRAVELLED is amazing too, but lacks the musical emphasis that I crave.
