The song is released as a single and was recorded specifically for Michael Bay's film Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. The song serves as the film's theme, and was released as a single on May 18, 2009. It is one of the few songs to top the US Rock Songs, Modern Rock Tracks and Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks at the same time. Though the song is a non-album single, New Divide is one of the band's highest charting songs, peaking at number 6 on the US Billboard Hot 100. It received rave reviews from professional critics and remains to be one of the most critically acclaimed songs of Linkin Park. Linkin Park's it's a great song that perfectly matches the film's intensity.& Parts of the intro were used in the final Transformers trailer. The cue &NEST& from Steve Jablonsky's Revenge of the Fallen musical score features instrumental excerts from &New Divide&. Linkin Park worked with award-winning composer Hans Zimmer to re-work &New Divide& in the musical score. As a result, the song was featured prominently in the film with instrumental clips of it played several times throughout the film in addition to the song being played during the end credits. The song was later adopted as the theme/opening song for the NHL's San Jose Sharks. The song also plays as the background music for the Medal of Honor E3 multiplayer trailer. A live version of the song was included as a b-side to &The Catalyst& and a bonus track for the Japanese release of A Thousand Suns. The studio version of the song was also included as the b-side to &Iridescent&. &New Divide& was released as downloadable content for the music video game Rock Band 3. The instrumental version of this song was also featured on The Weather Channel's Local on the 8's playlist in January and February 2012. The song is composed in the key of F minor in 4/4 time. The song employs a verse-chorus-verse format, with the second chorus being shorter than the first, plus a mechanically-themed breakdown halfway through the second chorus. &New Divide& received critical acclaim upon its release. Fans alike praised it for its aptitude and appeal as the movie's soundtrack. Much of the song's criticism from reviewers is that of the structure, claiming it is too similar to past Linkin Park singles, as well as sounding very similar to &What I've Done& which was used in Transformers. Videos posted on YouTube show similarities in structure between the two songs. One of the reviews was from Chris Williams of Billboard Magazine, who wrote: & 'New Divide' fits the sci-fi genre: spacious, moody and futuristic. Lead vocalist Chester Bennington gives one of his more straightforward vocal performances, deftly balancing his usual rock edge with a more melody-focused pop vocal. It's a welcome return that should satisfy the band's fan base and bring in some new fans as well.& (wiki)
