"My December" turned up in 2002 on Linkin Park's EP In the End: Live & Rare, and it was very much Mike Shinoda's baby: he wrote the music and the words, produced it, engineered it and added spoken vocals of his own. Chester Bennington takes the lead vocal, with Brad Delson on guitar, Rob Bourdon on drums and Joe Hahn working the turntables.
Parked on a rarities disc rather than a proper album, it's the kind of side road that die-hards treasure, a mood piece that shows how much of the band's DNA ran through Shinoda's hands.
