Well, if you're reading this review, I'd just like to let you know, I know what I'm talking about here. I have been a loyal Linkin Park fan for about 7 years now, it might not sound a lot to you, but it is when you have only been alive for 15!

2) "Given up" [3:09] - The heaviest song on the album. Quite a contrast compared to the calmness of the wake, but helps to emphasise the metal genre of this song, with Chester repeatedly screaming the word "misery" for approximately 20 seconds towards the end of the song. Also there is a very catchy 'jingle sound' during the verse, believed to be made by Brad shaking his car keys with Mike clapping alongside.

4) "Bleed it out" [2:44] - The second song from the album to be released as a single, being officially released on 20th August 2007. This song is only one of 2 on the album that contains rap vocals from Mike Shinoda. Bleed it out has a genre of alternative/nu metal, and peaked at #29 on the UK singles chart.

6) "What I've Done" [3:25] - The first song from the album to be released as a single, being officially released on 7th May 2007. What I've done is definitely the most famous song from the album. The song starts out with a piano riff reminiscent of the Halloween theme, before going into a raw guitar sound. This song differs from most of Linkin Park's previously released songs (except Breaking the Habit) in that it features almost no lead vocals from vocalist Mike Shinoda, save for a brief "na na na" refrain at the end and contributing harmonies throughout.

8) "No more Sorrow" [3:42] - For this song, the band experimented with different effects before settling on the effect of Brad shaking his finger on the strings of his guitar creating the long reverb effect similar to the sound of an E-Bow. This is the second heaviest song on the album, and I think this should be released as the next official single.

10) "In between" [3:17] - Another slower paced song, concentrating more on the textures and layers of the music, rather than the more heavy rock beats everyone associates with the old Linkin Park. 'In Between' can actually be described as quite a calming song, perfect to listen to if you're trying to wind down or revise. This song is mostly made up on Mike's vocals and some quiet instuments in the background.

12) "The Little Things Give You Away" [6:24] - This is the longest song on the album. But this is definitely not one you will switch off if it is playing, as it is one of the best songs on the album. But as it has quite a slow start, some people think the whole song is going to be slow and a lot of people associate slow with boring. But this is not the case for this song. The best bit of this song is towards the end where there is just music playing and you think the song is just going to fade out. Then suddenly Chester kicks in with his vocals, a fantastic way to end this song.
