Comments: What is with me having songs stuck in my head all day lately? This song would not exit my skull for all of yesterday, and so I bring it to you now. Thousand Foot Krutch is one of those bands sitting on the fringe of religious music with that excellent nu metal, pseudo rap sort of grunge beat that I thrive on. I get it in my Linkin Park, I get the thrashier, non-rap bit in my Breaking Benjamin, sometimes I even get it from some System of a Down. For some reason, I never remember to include Thousand Foot Krutch on my list, something I really should. It's epic. Enjoy!

Entry 243-- "Lost in the Echo"

Song: "Lost in the Echo"
Artist: Linkin Park

Comments: Well folks, I am ashamed to call myself a Linkin Park fan-- this came out on June 29th, and I'm only now finding out about it. For that matter, the album came out June 20th, and I don't have it yet either. What makes it worse is that this song is excellent, and I never knew it existed. I have to admit, I am a fan of the new sound this band has. If I sat down and compared any track from the last album or two to a track from Hybrid Theory or Meteora, they sound radically different... and I love them both. I liked Linkin Park in their nu metal days (yes, that term exists-- check Wikipedia; Hybrid Theory is the best selling nu metal album of all time), and I love them in their current mode. I'm not even fully sure what to call it. Electronic rock sounds decent, but it doesn't really satisfy me as a descriptor. Do any other long-time LP fans read this blog? Chime in on Facebook or leave a comment-- I'd be curious to see what you think. Enjoy the song?
