New Divide Linkin Park

Remember that new song that Linkin Park was working on for the soundtrack for Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen? Well the song is now available on LinkinPark.com and Apple iTunes. Apparently the song has also been incorporated into part of the film’s score. It’s not bad, definitely not as horrible as Stan Bush’s remake of The Touch.

  • Linkin Park needs to cut it out.

  • Are you trying to flip me off? Because it's not working. Funny thing is, I don't even have to try flipping you off in return because if you're a Linkin Park fan you've already been given a huge bird by the band themselves when they released Minutes to Midnight. Sorry.

    You are nothing but a linkin park hater
  • Let the linkin park hate begin..
  • Honestly... I was expecting much worse. I used to be a huge fan but Minutes to Midnight ruined it for me. This is actually decent though. Interesting drumming compared to Bourdon's previous stuff, that is for sure.
  • I know many people who share your point of view, but I was excited to see them try something new with Minutes to Midnight. The older albums were what I loved in middle/high school, but a formula only works for so long. Minutes to Midnight showed them trying to branch out. It worked for me, it didn't for you, and it didn't for a lot of others. I for one would rather see them fail trying something new then keep giving me the same thing. I hope the new album, and I guess I don't really need to hope because they have basically confirmed it with this song, is more like Minutes.
  • Never been an LP detractor. A great portion of middle school/early high school years spent listening to them. I'm digging the track but can't seem to find it on itunes.
  • david marks
    i cant find it on itunes either, and the countdown clock is at 0
  • k f

  • click the link on the webpage. The thing appears to be hidden via search. The only link that can access it as far as I know
  • Nick Voorhies
    just search on google linkin park new divide itunes and it should be the first or the second
  • nelson
    song is fine but is'nt it a bit too similar to there T1 song
  • It's not great but it's not as bad as people are letting on.
  • Hoopla
    If this plays over the ending scene and cuts to credits when the heavy guitars kick in (exactly like Linkin Park in TF1), I will be a happy camper. Otherwise... there would have to be a vocal-less version for this to work in the movie. Overall, it could've been worse... it could've been a lot worse.
  • mrconceited
    Not available on iTunes as far as I can see? From the trailer it sounds like a new version of their song from the first film (which I guess was the un-official theme to the film).
  • I can't find this song on iTunes either.
  • Kelt
    not bad
  • Rooster619
    They've made many variations of the song throughout the movie, song is awesome but not on iTunes yet...
  • Meh. 'Nuff said.
  • tab
    first thing i thought was "What I've Done". same drum beat, and even the guitars sound the same. yawn...
  • Drummer
    Umm... as

    A.) A drummer, and
    B.) A person who has ears,

    I have to tell you that this is nothing like the drums of What I've Done. You see, this one goes bass-snare-bass-snare. What I've Done was some weird stuff going on.

    Not a 100% LP fan, but this is better than What I've Done, at least.
  • tab
    Well I too am a drummer, bro. And I can tell you that they sound very similar. Lets just say that Linkin Park needs to write some new material and not copy other songs of theirs.
  • McDude
    Guys who can't find it on iTunes: according to LP's MySpace, availability of the song will be 4PM PST (6:00 for most of us) Guess we'll just have to wait an hour longer :(
  • twstdbydsn
    that was horrible.
  • nick v
    you know what screw you the song is awesome
  • Lpfanaddy
    I think I'll just put in Hybrid Theory or Meteora and wish that Linkin Park would return to their roots...
  • Cenzo74
    Give us an aggressive score... forget about shitty bands who don't have a clue. Take a tip from 300 and Gladiator.
  • dududu
    does anyone know if the song is on itunes uk store yet ??
  • Wick
    Not yet :(
  • jd123
    i thought the guitar and everything else was real good not so much the singing but not bad
  • Jason S.
    Just a heads up...the mp3 is embedded in the page itself. Safari users, go to Window > Activity and double click the .mp3 file.

    Or just click this link. Totally legal DRM free copy of it.

    GJ, Linkin Park.
  • danny
    wont be on till midnight i dont think (in UK)
  • ToddLP
    whatever Linkin Park do rocks, and so does this. it had to fit the feeling of the film so it wasnt going to be there own work
  • NIck V
    I agree with everything
    that sums up pretty much everything i was just thinking finally a fellow TRUE linkin park fan
  • It's no What I've Done, but it's still pretty good.
  • I've never understood the hatred per say targeted against Linkin Park. If you dislike a certain band just don't listen to them.

    This is fine for a Transformer movie. At least the production quality of the song is pretty good. This isn't my preference in music but it suits Transformers well imo.
  • Some things can be over produced.
  • akshansh
    y hate a band if u dislike the music.... just don't listen to them... and as far as LP is concerned they are MUCH BETTER than many of the bands around... hey dude Craigasorusrex ur ryt ... its just fits wid the transformer luk..i've been listening to it all day long and i luv it... thanx 4 the music LP u rock and ur divine
  • hmm its ooookay. i like the guitar and drums but vocals were alright. there were some parts in the vocals that i could totally see how Hans could turn into epic tunes
  • Ben
    On Itunes Now for USA (18th)
    31st May for UK :(
  • From what i have read recently people is it will be available on.. the 20th on Itunes.. click the link on the site "Exclusively on itunes" and it should pop up with the date. this was like 5 minutes ago when i read that. I WANT IT NOWWWW I Hate streaming it I want it HQ as does everyone else lol
  • Adil
    Its a fucked up boring version of "What I've Done"
  • I take it that Mike Shinoda is no longer in the band...
  • haha, he's slowly becoming a producer/musician...the vocals seem to be taking a back seat. Although I don't mind when he actually sings, it'd be cool if both Mike and Chester sang together on the next album
  • predictable. boring. but, not as bad as Stan Bush's remake of The Touch. forgettable, but fits into a Michael Bay giant robot movie.
  • There not as bad as Nikelback or however you spell it
  • there's been a few tv spots popping up all the world today. different 30 second clips. new footage, its sweet!
  • Look at all you music snobs turning your noses up at this. No, it's not Beethoven's Fifth. It still kicks ass.

    It IS available on iTunes. I couldn't find it at first but for whatever reason it doesn't come up right away. You have to search for "New Divide" and scroll down a lot - but it IS there.
