Wake
"Wake" is an instrumental track on Linkin Park's 3rd and latest studio album, Minutes to Midnight. It is the first track and the shortest. It starts out with a needle to vinyl sound (as mentioned in the booklet) and then goes into a whole band song idea ending with a barely noticeable synchronize to Given Up.
As it says in the included booklet with the album This short song was created near the end of the album writing process. The dual-meaning of the word "wake" seemed an appropiate introduction to the record.
Wake is the first instrumental song on any of Linkin Park's studio albums to start the album (with the exception of Foreword on Meteora). It is also the first instrumental to not be at least 2 minutes long (once again with the exception of Foreword).

Hands Held High
"Hands Held High" is a rap song by Linkin Park from their 3rd studio album Minutes to Midnight.
There is a feeling of religious/church because of the organ. It criticises politics and the rich in relation to the war in Iraq. The song was also known as the working title "Song Q" and was an instrumental.
This is the first song on the album that has Mike singing solo (with an exception of the "Amen" chant that also includes the entire band singing) and the second and last to have Mike rapping.
No More Sorrow
No More Sorrow is the 8th song on the Minutes to Midnight album by Linkin Park.
It originally began as part of the solo to The Little Things Give You Away, but was replaced by the current version and the leftover piece became this song.
In this song, Brad uses an e-bow to play his guitar riffs in the verses and outro. Producer Rick Rubin wanted the band to use e-bow for The Little Things Give You Away, but the band eventually decided that it sounded better in this song.
It has a very lengthy intro. Chester starts singing only after almost a minute goes by. After the intro, there is hard riffing and loud hollow drumming. Described as a war/protest themed song, it is aimed at the government, evident in the "Thieves and Hypocrites" interlude.
Valentine's Day
"Valentine's Day" is the 9th song on the album Minutes to Midnight by Linkin Park.
Contrary to popular belief, Valentine's Day is more or less used as a metaphor, the song speaking about losing the one you love; verses "And the clouds above move closer, looking so dissatisfied, and the ground below grew colder as they put you down inside" picturing a funeral scene.
Most of the song is a low piano ballad, except at the end, when the whole band plays while "On a Valentine's Day" is repeated.
It features a piano solo by Mike Shinoda.
In Between
In Between is the 10th song on 3rd album Minutes to Midnight.
This song is very soft and features much usage of synthesizers. Mike Shinoda mostly sings solo, with Chester Bennington singing some backing vocals. As the song progresses more layers of music are added.
It is the first song where Mike Shinoda sings his vocals rather than rapping. It starts with his vocals and an upright bass line. It expands with synthesizer effects during each verse and chorus in the song. There is virtually no drumming in this song.
While making the song, Chester sang the song at one point, but voted for Mike's version instead.
It is the same length as its preceding song, Valentine's Day.
The song is stated to be one of the band's favourites.
In Pieces
In Pieces is the 11th song from Minutes to Midnight, the latest album from Linkin Park.
The song is mostly made of a keyboard and beat loop. There is fast solo guitar in the second verse. This is the third of four songs to contain a guitar solo for Linkin Park. The other songs in which we can listen to solos are Shadow of the Day, What I've Done and The Little Things Give You Away.
The Little Things Give You Away
The Little Things Give You Away is the final song in the base track listing of the Linkin Park album Minutes to Midnight. It is by far the longest Linkin Park song to be recorded to this point, at six minutes and twenty-four seconds. This song was not released as a single.
The Little Things Give You Away had gained to working title as "The Drum Song" until release due to it's original creation by Linkin Park percussionist Rob Bourdon as a steady drum beat. Reportedly, Chester Bennington's lyrics to the song were completed shortly after the band's visit to New Orleans, Louisiana during the aftermath of the deadly Hurricane Katrina.
The Little Things You Give Away has been interpreted, mainly in facts due to it's completion after the band's tour of a devastated New Orleans, as a subtle means of criticism on United States President George W. Bush's and FEMA's late reaction to the Katrina disaster as from the point of view of the residents who stayed to ride out the storm.
No Roads Left
No Roads Left is a B-Side track from Linkin Park. This track was only given to those who preordered the band's 3rd album, Minutes to Midnight, from iTunes.
This is Mike Shinoda's third solo song, but the only solo where he gets no background chanting like in Hands Held High and In Between. He sings in a more aggressive tone then in his other solos.
The song deals with someone who has no idea what to do, no paths to take. It uses a lot of metaphors, such as "And no roads left to run".

Outerweb is an IRC (Internet Relay Chat) network.
Origins
The Outerweb IRC network started when an IRC channel for 's CAD Radio - an internet radio station - started up an IRC network called Xnet (now known as AfterX). This IRC network was chosen because within it was the official chat channel #ctrlaltdel.
Separation
After a short while of CAD Radio being on Xnet, it was abandoned due to network politics and stability. As it was an internet radio station, CAD Radio had servers for broadcasting the radio stream. Later on, these were set up as IRC servers running UnrealIRCd with ircservices. Soon after the creation the CAD Radio channel #cadradio soon thrived again and the CAD Radio network (irc.cadradio.net) was born.
Renaming
On the 14th of June 2004, proved successful enough at running an IRC network for a member of Xnet's staff "Xenon" moved to help out with irc.cadradio.net. The official chat channel soon followed and the network irc.cadradio.net was renamed to be the more generic CAD-Net.
CAD-Net became the official chat network for and many other CAD related channels were set up the network got a lot more notice which brought about fast expansion, including various other online comics and related IRC mergers including Sam and fuzzy, Questionable Content, Instant Classic, TalesMud, RoM, BSRF and various .box.sk channels.
Location
CAD-Net's headquarters from 2004-2006 resided in St. Catharines, Ontario (Network Services Records) with "FalconX", Syracuse, New York (Technical Record Filing and Programming) with "Em`Zee", and Cambridge, England (Network Support and Public Relations) with "Xenon". Two conventions were held in Syracuse, New York (aptly named CADcon).
OuterWeb
As of September 2005, has since dissolved their officiality due to conflicts of interest with the creator of the comic, Tim Buckley. Because the network was no longer officially supported by the creator of the comic, the network staff decided that it would be in the network's best interests to change the name of the network to "Outerweb". In April 2006, to secure OuterWeb's survival for the users still using the network, Xenon/X3N/Michael (now the only remaining staff member due to the original 2 founders having moved away) decided to merge with AthemeNet. Outerweb had since failed its trial period with AthemeNet, and only consisted of two servers run by Xenon and TIBS.
Current Status
As of early 2007, OuterWeb has shut down because of lack of user interest and support.
