Dude, I have already pre-ordered the copy la. I understand your frustrations at some of us (me included) but come on, some of us really can't wait. Same question, why don't you wait for Prison Break to be shown on 8TV?

just kidding. don't take it personally or anything.

Yeah, I was thinking the same too....when is the second season of Supernatural coming on?
..........anyway, back on topic, how do y'all think of the guitar solo on 'The Little Things Give You Away' ?
Simply amazing I'd say....
Anyway, give Shinoda's singing debut a break....I'm sure he'll either improve it on the next record or rather not sing at all....
What I think....
Wake - The taste of things to come...
Given Up - A heavy song....sounds like hardcore punk but definitely LP...
Leave Out All The Rest - A light song with meaningful lyrics....nice...they should do more of these songs....
Bleed It Out - Sounds like the LP of old and a little bit of FM lovin' but 10 times better...the guitar is amazing...classic...
Shadow Of The Day - I have to say this is the track that shows how versatile LP has now become....on the first listen, I thought I'm listening to The Fray...
What I've Done - What can I say that hasn't been said...one of the best on this album....a favorite...
Hands Held High - Shinoda single-handedly raps and sings his way to the end on this FM-inspired song. The tune is so haunting and oh-so-patriotic and don't even mention the Amen chant on the background of the song....it gets my vote as my favorite.
No More Sorrow - Another surprising yet an excellent song. The guitar riffs are reminiscent of metal songs and Chester's vocals took this song one step beyond....amazing is all I can say....
Valentine's Day - Perfect for Valentines Day.
In Between - Shinoda's singing dominates the whole song....Not the best but commendable for his efforts alone...
In Pieces - Another defining song on the album. From the haunting instrument at the start of the song to the amazing guitar solo at the middle, this song captivates till the very end...very surprising indeed for LP...
The Little Things Give You Away - The much-talked about guitar solo is the defining moment in this song although I expected something more phenomenal. A progressive song and a fitting closure song for one of the most mature and diverse LP album to date...
All in all, this change is definitely for the better and I love them all the more....
