rewind

I plug in my earphones everywhere
listening to my own songs
ignoring the surroundings
one time, I opened up my iTunes
seemed to me that so many songs had disappeared
covered with curiosity, I turned on my external hd
everything is still there, waiting to be listened again

even my Linkin Park's album
three of them: Hybrid Theory, Reanimation, and Meteora. All were there.
so, I transferred them to my iTunes

damn nice!
all this time, I have forgotten about these albums
then, I plugged in my earphones
and I was forced to follow the rewinding to the past
so many memories were brought back

yeah, Linkin Park has been my most favourite band up until now starting from when they made their debut in 2000!!!

I would like to review their albums, one by one:

This album, Hybrid Theory (2000) to me, was the best of all their albums
Songs like Point of Authority, Pushing Me Away, With You, In the End, Papercut, and Cure for the Itch are this album's best songs. Other songs are wonderful as well. I guess, this album is good for releasing the pain inside minds and hearts. A lot of memories from this album. Friendships, love, and vengeance were parts of this album.

Reanimation, released 2002, has background and pictures of "gundam"??
the songs from Hybrid Theory is "reanimated" and more electronic sounds were added into them by Mr. Hahn. I listened to this album mostly when I played my PS1, the game was Legend of Legaia 1. When I bought this album, it was a cassette. Seems like time ages so fast that there is no time for heading back.


Meteora, released 1 year after Reanimation. I don't know why they used the picture of a person spraying a fragrance. The first video for "Somewhere I belong" really shows that they are crazy about Gundam. Hit the Floor, Breaking the Habit, Numb, Faint, and Lying From You were the songs that I listened the most. Apparently, near to the end of grade 10, Don't Stay made appearance to my life. This song accompanied my hard time.

These are the forgotten albums from Indonesia. All are in form of cassettes. And if you asked me how I can convert the songs from cassettes to mp3 or sth. Isn't it obvious? I don't need to convert the songs, everyone knows the name of the technology.

Anyway, these are the crazy albums of Linkin Park. Their latest album, Minutes to Midnight (2007) is tested, people said it is the declining of their rocking era. The songs have gone softer than the ones before. But I still keep some songs from this album in my pockets. Songs such as Given Up, Hands Held High, Valentine's Day, What I've Done, and In Pieces. I bought this album on the day it was released as well(15-5-2007) I thought I gotta line up at store to purchase it, but apparently I didn't need to (well, I was disappointed for no line up)

There are still many of Linkin Park's songs; the underground. But, I haven't been listening to their underground songs. Only one that I like the most, "qwerty". You guys might want to listen to this one.

Anyway, this is the review of Linkin Park's albums and songs.
I love Linkin Park, it is the band that has been with me since 2000 until now, 8 years now. Their songs walked along with me and I think their songs played some roles in building some parts of me today. I guess so..
Thank You, Linkin Park ! ! !
I would really like to put up their songs on my blog, but I guess by doing that, I will have all writers and readers faint while trying to write or read. So, I will leave it like this. Anyway, I'm going back to study.
