Linkin Park, No More Sorrow.

[via tinypic]

Another band that I am fan. To me this band is one of the most interesting groups that were spawned this latter years.

This rock/hip-hop band is an infinite mixture of new ideas from musical areas to artistic perspectives. Let’s start.

My main hero is Mike Shinoda, the rap MC, second singer (sometimes the first) and keyboard a guitar player. That’s a lot of things, but add to this list his production chores and his work in his personal music project, Front Minor. The way he tries to conceive the song from a loop, a phrase or a lyric.

Let’s uncover the other heroes. Chester Bennington, the singer has a magical voice. Some people say that his voice is the composition of three tones, sounding altogether. What I can notice is that his voice sounds so young, so powerful and defines the work of his group so well that many of us musicians must admire him and envy his voice.

Joe Hann is the DJ of the band. He is creative and adds many impossible sounds to the song that defines also the Linkin Park trademark. Brad Delson is the guitar player, and has evolved from a junior player to a real professional. His guitar playing is not an out-of-this-world thing, but it works nicely and supports the rock sound of the band.

Sometimes I don’t feel that Phoenix, the bass player, plays an important role in the band. The bass lines are only supportive of the guitar and that is not enough. But this band has a Hip-hop component and bass lines need to be like this. Perhaps that’s the reason, but being a bass player, I’d love to hear something more complex.

And drummer Rob Bourdon, another player that started as an amateur and now plays like a real rocker. In my opinion, he improves his techniques more than Brad.

The song that illustrates this post is from his latest studio album Minutes to Midnight. But it comes from the new live release, Road to Revolution – Live at Milton Keynes. And it is a great show. As powerful as Live from Texas, but with three albums to choose from.

Are you lost, in your lies
Do you tell yourself I don't realize
Your crusade's a disguise
Replace freedom with fear you trade money for lives
I'm aware of what you've done

[Chorus]
No, no more sorrow
I've paid for your mistakes
Your, time is borrowed
Your, time has come to be replaced

I see pain, I see need
I see liars and thieves abused power with greed
I had hope, I believed
But I'm beggining to think that I've been deceived
You will pay for what you've done

[Chorus]
No, no more sorrow
I've paid for your mistakes
Your, time is borrowed
Your time has come to be replaced

Thieves and hypocrites
Thieves and hypocrites
Thieves and hypocrites

[Chorus]
No, no more sorrow
I've paid for your mistakes
Your, time is borrowed
Your time has come to be replaced

No more sorrow
I've paid for your mistakes
Your, time is borrowed
Your time has come to be replaced

Your time has come to be replaced
Your time has come to be erased
