Despite the indecipherable lyrics, Linkin Park would have put harmless advice on the reversed reproduction of ‘Announcement Service Public’
In a world where there are around 6500 languages, music is universal and intensely subliminal. The melody draws attention, but it’s the coded messages (lyrically and visually) that really connect the composition with the audience.
There are many processes involved in making a record, but some fans believe that some of these alleged hidden messages in songs are conspiratorial, while others are harmless. In “Announcement Service Public”the lyrics are not only ineligible, but also give the feeling of Chester Bennington be singing in another language.
The third studio album by Linkin Park, Minutes to Midnight (2017), is the band’s first experiment with different genres, with a more alternative rock sound that debuted at number one on the Billboard 200.
During disk writes, Announcement Service Public’ was recorded but not included on the disc. Subsequently, the single was released on December 5, 2006, on the ‘Underground 6 LP’, the sixth EP released by the band.
When looked at more carefully, Chester Bennington put a public message on it. Listening to it backwards, however, you can understand that he keeps repeating “you should brush your teeth and you should wash your hands”.
The title of the song is reversed (Public Service Announcement would be correct) in reference to this joke. Listen “Announcement Service Public” in full below:
