Song:
"Shadow of the Day" was the lead single from Linkin Park's 2007 album "Minutes to Midnight", and was a good choice. Soaring strings and vocals are backed by a soft drum beat recalling, but not ripped off from, U2's "With or Without You". Perhaps the best part of the song is its ending, which would not sound out of place in the end of an excellent movie. On the album version, it fades into the intro to "What I've Done".
Video:
The video for the song a brilliant portrayal of an uprising for freedom. The time on Chester's alarm clock reads 11:55, the song is four minutes long, meaning that the song would end at 11:59. An astonishing reference to the album title.
Reviewers:
All of you are HATERS in their purest form. You call yourselves "true LP fans", and when their new song comes out, you all start whining like little kids that want a toy. If they make an album with the same sound as before, YOU COMPLAIN. If they make an album with a different sound than before, YOU COMPLAIN. If you were REAL LP fans, you would support them regardless of their sound. If you want to hear more music like Meteora and Hybrid Theory, then GO LISTEN TO METEORA AND HYBRID THEORY! DON'T COME CRYING TO US! And if you're so great at playing music that you feel like you can tell Linkin Park how to play, then PLAY THEIR OLD STUFF YOURSELF! AGAIN, DON'T COME CRYING TO US! JUST GO TO YOUR ROOM, GO TO THE CORNER, CURL UP IN FETAL POSITION, BLAST METEORA THROUGH YOUR HEADPHONES, AND WHINE TO YOURSELF INSTEAD OF US! If you were kind enough to give this song a good rating, then you obviously are not a hater. :)
