You don't like any of those songs? Why is that? I thought W&K was a very well written song. Don't Stay is alright, not the best but alright. And Given Up was such a fun song to listen to. But, to each his own I guess. To be honest I thought BITS was not single material. I actually disliked the new music video a lot. It was boring.
I think Linkin Park needs to release an energetic single. At least one. Either When they come for me or wretches and kings would be good, but w&k would have more success. Think about it: It's electronic, heavy, catchy... but different from other stuff out there in the mainstream music. I get why alot of you don't like Wretches and Kings. It's really simple and has similarities to the Old linkin park. But you have to know that just because it's heavy doesn't really mean it's similar. In fact, it's pretty different from even Meteora.
I don't get comparing it to Don't Stay and Given Up. I concur those two are at the bottom of the barrel when it comes to Linkin Park, but Wretches & Kings worse? Sounds like someone hasn't heard the bridge to Given Up in awhile.
Agreed. I respect people's opinions, and everyone has a different viewpoint on it. But comparing the two simplest and the most generic LP songs to Wretches and Kings isn't... idk.
Everything bad that you can say about Given Up and Don't Stay, you can also say about Wretches and Kings. Just replace rubbish personal angst lyrics with rubbish political lyrics.
I think what you were trying to say is, "Just replace a good song with pretty a poor one." I won't call Wretches & Kings Linkin Park's finest hour, but there's hardly any comparison to the other two pieces. You guys are just looking too hard now.
