May 16, 2007 - What I've Done

Today's song is "What I've Done" by Linkin Park... from the album that just came out yesterday, Minutes to Midnight.

Lyrics:
"In this farewell,
There’s no blood,
There’s no alibi.
‘Cause I’ve drawn regret,
From the truth,
Of a thousand lies.

So let mercy come,
And wash away…

What I’ve Done.
I’ll face myself,
To cross out what I’ve become.
Erase myself,
And let go of what I’ve done."

I love the way this song starts. Piano integrated with a metal-esque beat, followed by drums... then it all comes out, with all the instruments doing their thing. This is the first song I've actually listened to off the new album, but so far so good. Many of the LP fans are saying this album is crap... I like this song. It's definelty different from the old stuff, but bands should always be thinking of change. I applaud them on at least trying! We'll see how the rest of the album is when I actually get my hands on a copy...

Score:
3 1/2 out of 5.

Peace,
