==Background==
==Background==
''LP Underground X: Demos'' is the eleventh CD released by Linkin Park to their fanclub, the LP Underground. It was released on November 17, 2010 to coincide with the release of LPU 10. The album contains ten demos, ranging from the [[Xero]] days to the early ''[[A Thousand Suns]]'' sessions.
A few months before the release of ''LP Underground X: Demos'', Linkin Park released ''[[A Decade Underground]]'', which was a compilation CD that included everything from ''[[Songs From The Underground]]'', as well as "[[Across The Line]]" and "[[Pretend To Be]]", the latter of which was included again on ''LP Underground X: Demos''.


==Writing and Recording==
==Writing and Recording==
The ten tracks on the CD include demos from all eras of the band, and one remix. "[[Coal]]" comes from the Xero sessions, "[[Points Of Authority|Oh No]]", a very early demo for "Points Of Authority", comes from the ''[[Hybrid Theory]]'' sessions, "[[Unfortunate]]" and "[[Halo]]" both were taken from the ''[[Meteora]]'' recording sessions, "[[Divided]]", "[[Pale]]", and "[[What We Don't Know]]" were done during recording for ''[[Minutes To Midnight]]'', "[[Pretend To Be]]" was started during ''Minutes To Midnight'', but was finished later on, "[[I Have Not Begun]]" was recording during the early parts of the ''[[A Thousand Suns]]'' process, and "[[What I've Done|What I've Done (M. Shinoda Remix)]]" is, obviously, a remix of "What I've Done" done by Mike Shinoda. This remix differs slightly from the "Distorted Remix" released on ''Minutes To Midnight''.
While "I Have Not Begun" was recorded during the ''A Thousand Suns'' sessions, the lyrics were written earlier than that.


==Composition==
==Composition==
All of the demos on the CD give some insight to the band's mentality while recording each album. Interestingly, "What We Don't Know" is actually fully mixed and mastered, meaning that it's technically a b-side to ''Minutes To Midnight''. This isn't the first time a fully completed song was released on an LP Underground CD, as "[[Across The Line]]" was released on the [[LP Underground 9: Demos|ninth LP Underground CD]], and it, too, was completely finished.
