Song of the Week (Week III)
14 years ago
"First rule of magic: Always be the smartest furry in the room."
This is Sean Skyhawk's third week of Song of the Week, which will update on Tuesdays from now on; this one's probably the least thought out of them all, I duly apologize. I'm really freaking out with the upcoming magic show I'm doing and all that crap, so forgive me...
Waiting for the End by Linkin Park off their 2010 album A Thousand Suns
I first heard of the "Thousand Suns" album when they advertised it in Target. I didn't know they were doing something after "Minutes to Midnight"; it was only after I had listened to the album in full that I actually was able to appreciate their style. Thousand Suns is in fact my favorite album, surpassing even their debut album Hybrid Theory (a long time favorite no doubt).
Why? Thousand Suns actually has a good story behind it. In my head, I visualize my own fursona, bag and staff in hand, battered from his numerous fights, wandering the wastelands that used to be the cities of the US and sleeping in hammocks under the stars. The Catalyst, the first I listened to, has this lamentation aspect to it, while the angry industrial hip hop beat of Wretches and Kings is near-impossible to not dance to (and Mario Savio has quite some passion in him).
My favorite, however, is "Waiting for the End". This one has this mysterious, almost dream-like aspect to it, and in the story of the post-apocalyptic traveler I always imagine that this song plays throughout a dream of some sort. The tried and tested hard rock style so associated with LP and the electronic tone throughout the song, combined with Chester Bennington's ability to SINGGGGGA makes this one the song I listen to more than any throughout the album.
The video is right here:
You can see why it has this dream-like feel to it; maybe this is what I should use for my "kick" music :D
-Sean
Also, I FINALLY learned Betwixt! Easy for me to do; I hope to fry
roxikat with it :D
