Songs from the Underground Ep


AVG. Rating 4.0

I’m what one might call a closet Linkin Park fan. I loved Hybrid Theory for years, liked Meteora all right for a while, and haven’t even bothered picking up Minutes to Midnight after I listened to a friend’s copy and didn’t think much of it.

Then comes Songs from the Underground. I’ll admit, I wasn’t expecting much when I bought this, but I was clinging to the hope that some of the older demo tracks might be good.

They’re more than good. “Qwerty” is possibly the most aggressive song ever written by Linkin Park, the two live tracks are outstanding, and (I kid you not) Chester lays down some Layne Staley-style vocals on “Part of Me.”

The only negative thing I can say about this EP is that the instrumental track “Sold My Soul to Yo Mama” is pretty boring. I prefer the hidden instrumental at the end of “Part of Me” to this track.

Please, Linkin Park, revert to your old ways and give us more songs like “Qwerty” and “And One.” Great EP, pick it up pronto.

Customer Reviews

They have done better. – James Westphal – CA
I am a big fan of Linkin Park which may explain why I was expecting more and ended up disappointed. A number of the tracks are just a little too “creative.” The track with Chris Cornell doing “Hungerstrike” might make the 8 track CD worth the price.

This is really good stuff from Linkin Park. Though I already had a few of these songs in my collection, I really appreciate the selection and the composition of the 8-song e.p..This music is as cool and slick as anything from Linkin Park yet.

not here either – Michael Kolberg – Unknown Location
dont get me wrong, i love linkin park and happen to know first hand how good these songs are, but 14.99? seriously? do yourself a favor and drive or even walk to best buy and get this cd for 6.99 or just go to the lp website. now this is no bad talk or slander about amazon in fact most everything ive bought was under any price i could find, but as far as used items go, these sellers apparently dont believe in depreciated value. trust me, the gallon of gas is worth it.
