New Divide

I agree with the other reviewer that this does sound like the songs on Minutes to Midnight, but the song is still awesome. I am so glad LP is putting out something else to tide us over until the new album. If you like Minutes to Midnight (my favorite album so far) I highly recommend this song.

Linkin Park's "New Divide" is the hip hop rock group's latest hit for the Transformers sequel. It's sufficiently catchy. It's not a bad song--but it's not great either. It works as an accompaniment to Megan Fox, explosions, and giant rampaging robots. It's SUPPOSED to be in the background. "New Divide" IS in the divide--it's mediocre.

Written for the new Transformers movie, this song should be as big as "What I've Done," but it's not as good, even though it's still one of the band's best. It's basically a continuation of the song also, except it adds more electronic elements this time. Lyrically the singer is singing about the space between truth and lies, aka a new divide. Not original, but for some reason the song grows on you. Sure, it's not the best think you'll find, but it's decent enough, and it's one of the band's best songs.

Real Score: 3.5

This new song is my absolute Favorite of theirs, and that says something because it's hard to pick a favorite LP song -there are so many great ones!! The lyrics are cool, and it has a cool sound.

Absolutely amazing. This song could fit on any LP album. I'm glad Michael
Bay chose LP to make this song.

The song isn't that bad, but it's not gunna be a hit. It has a generic sound, yes like others have said quite simlar to Minutes to Midnight. I still like Hybrid Theory's sound, but Bleed it Out on their last album is their #1 song IMO.

This song is awesome. It's fresh material and it's a bit of a different sound than Minutes to Midnight, but still captures what Linkin Park is all about. It still has the revolutionary electronic sound no other band comes close to matching.

People keep complaining about the new Linkin Park songs sounding like pop and they should play on the radio next to the Jonas Brothers and Katy Perry. This has to be the biggest insult the band could receive. They do get radio time, but not because teenie-boppers and soccer moms call in and request it, it's because their sound is so clean and it absorbs the listener and any good DJ would/should mix in a little GOOD music with all the crap that gets played.

Here's a test for you non-believers. Take any Linkin Park song (Hybrid Theory album and beyond) and crank the volume. In my opinion they are the only band who cannot get too loud. They pay so much attention to detail in their beats and vocal levels that it never gets annoying and it never gets old. Try that with any "pop" song and your head would implode.

If this is one the next album it will probably be the best song on it, just like on Minutes To Midnight the best song was in Tranformers. What ever happened to Linkin Park, their first two cds were awesome. On Minutes To Midnight ever song sounded the same.

It sounds pretty much just like "What I've done," maybe it is supposed to since that song was on Transformers and this one is for the sequel.

Wow, has anybody not noticed that this song sounds exactly like What I've Done, just in a different key? That other 1 star review put it correctly. I can't wait to see the new Transformers film, but I don't imagine this making a good theme song. Seriously, Michael Bay needs to stop kissing Linkin Park's arse. This song is very boring and sounds like everything on Minutes to Midnight, and it amazes me that people miss the fact that LP love to put out the same single every year and re-write the lyrics.
