Skin To Bone – The album returns to Linkin Park’s familiar electronic tropes, but the punishing percussion and winding climax make “Skin To Bone” feel fresh."Tinfoil", initially, was included as a part of "Powerless", but eventually was separated into its own track. Trite, but damn, does it inspire some head-banging.ĩ. Road Untraveled – A piano ballad that leads to Bennington delivering some forlorn “Whoa-oh-oh’s” and grows, expectedly, into a showcase for power chords and extended lighters. Victimized – Like “Lies Greed Misery,” “Victimized” rushes through its various ideas in under three minutes the juxtaposition of Shinoda’s lullaby and Bennington’s heady thrashing is thrilling, but alas, needs more room to breathe.Ĩ.

In My Remains – The production here lends to Linkin Park’s overall potency, with the crisp verses sliding succinctly into the song’s refrains.
