Which songs on LT were the farthest from your expectations? For me, I'd say Victimized and Until it Breaks. I thought Victimized was just going to be death-metallish the whole way through. I didn't expect a track that was so unique and oddball. And I was surprised by Until it Breaks' strange song structure.
Castle of Glass. I wasn't really expecting much of anything from the track because of the advance descriptions. Shame on you, article writers.
The one that surprised me.....hmm Until it breaks. I was expecting it to be faster since I saw mike rapping it with the waiting for the end instrumental and then brad SANG! I wasn't expecting that!
This. When I heard the Waiting for the End version with the Until It Breaks snippet at the beginning I was really excited for this song...Mike's rapping is amazing but there's really nothing else in the song
Until it Breaks, probably. I sort of expected it to be more like Waiting for the End, but maybe that's because of the Apache intro to it they did live I can't say any of the album really surprised me though. Not like A Thousand Suns did anyway.
It's the opposite for me actually. Mike's rapping is the bad part of the song. Brad's is the best, and Chester's is good.
Powerless by a mile, I know it's a ballad but in the past LP's ballads have never struck a massive chord with me, but by God I love that song! For me it's the best on the album though having listened a fair few times I don't think there a bad song on it. Was unsure of Until It Breaks and Skin to Bone but like them now! Roads Untraveled is another great song!
