riding alone for thousands of miles - triumph of joyful sorrowIt's quite apparent from where this 11-piece takes their biggest influence (hint: starts with a G, rhymes with odspeed You! Black Emperor). For the obtuse, I obviously mean Linkin Park. With samples ranging from a despondent Arabic woman to a creepy preacher's son, a Bulgarian album title, and long-winded song titles, you already know what kind of treat you're in for. This particular song (one of many winners) is right up my alley. Act IV, Scene IV. Just listen and try not to let the emotion bleed out your pores.
