首支单曲'Somewhere I Belong'在幽悒吉他拨弦前导下,听着Chester Bennington在副歌唱出充满希望与期待的感受: '…/I want to let go of the pain I've held so long/I've wanted all along/Somewhere I belong',那份触动心灵的程度绝对不亚于'In The End'。'Don't Stay'、'Lying From You'与'Hit The Floor'祭出宛如'Papercut'、'One Step Closer'的典型Linkin Park式必杀Nu-Metal方程式,但吉他音量与整体杀伤力明显地更为剽悍。布满神秘东洋色彩的Nobody's Listening加强了Hip Hop-Oriented肌理的构筑,反映的是制作混音专辑《Reanimation颠覆·混合理论》后所吸纳的音乐进化,而几乎由Linkin Park灵魂核心之一Mike Shinoda透过Pro-Tools完成的Instrumental Hip Hop乐章Session中,得以让阵中DJ Joseph Hahn展露一手纯熟的Scratch技巧。最不容忽略的是Linkin Park是次所展现明显不同于前作的创作格局求求弦乐剪影与Breakbeat Loop贯穿下的'Faint'爆发出连Pitchshifter也望尘莫及的Techno-Rock能量,而真正动用十人弦乐团伴奏、Chester Bennington认为是该团最佳创作的'Breaking The Habit',更是一首令人惊艳的流畅Emo-Core摇滚乐章!
