What We Don't Know is a memorable alt-rock demo (I think it's alt-rock). I really like the overall vibe the song gives off and some of the lyrics are pretty good IMO. You can definitely tell that it's a demo, with certain lines sounding a little rough, as well as the "different" production/mixing.

That title belongs to She Couldn't imo. It's so different from their other stuff, I would love to hear a modern re-recording of it.
The KROQ 2010 performance might be the best show, imo [video=youtube;CjXB1YJIb68]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CjXB1YJIb68[/video]
I really hate shirts that just have a square cut out of a picture pasted on it, looks so cheap. The Hybrid Theory tee and hoodie just look bad. The Street Soldier and Splattered Street Soldier look awesome, why can't they make more like that? But I can't justify $40 for one shirt. http://store.linkinpark.com/view-all/hybrid-theory-zip-hoodie.html Like this could have been a decent looking plain hoodie with just the LP logo on the front, but they went and plastered the HT album cover on the back. When it comes to apparel, less is usually better. If they wanted to keep it Hybrid Theory related, then they could've just put the Street Soldier on the back. Look at his face, that's the face of someone who's stoked to be wearing a hoodie with the cover art of a 15yr old Nu-Metal album.
Kinda surprised LP changed their entire website for a LPU theme launch. Love the new splash page though. Never thought they'd be so direct about it
@Nicholas: What makes the thing even more awful is the way they've just photoshopped the album cover on the back of the hoddie on the pictures. They didn't even care about making it fit to the creases, they just put that plain cover there with a drop shadow under the hood. I also think it would look better with a white soldier on the back, that would be way more appealing, imo. That's exactly what I thought, too. Normally they would just start some rumors about the new album out of nowhere, now they just openly say "We are currently working on the new album in the studio" on the front page. It also makes one think if the LPU cover would be kinda related to the new album (after all they've redesigned the whole website), but that's kinda unlikely. -- Is there any information as to whether A.06 is a demo for a song on Meteora? I always thought that it had some similarities to Hit The Floor... And then there's Figure.09, which follows the same naming scheme and also contains guitar work kind of reminiscent to A.06.
From memory, I think "A.06" and "Hit The Floor" are in the same key as well but I doubt that they're different versions of the one idea. The title "Figure.09" and where it came from is just gonna be one of those eternal mysteries. If it was "F.09", then, you'd really be onto something. But, sometimes, the band just get understandably lazy with demo titles so they might just go "A1", "A2", " A3", etc. - in the "Midnight" making-of documentary, Delson shows off a batch of his demo projects which are just "Song A", " Song B", and so on.
