Background
"Cumulus" is an instrumental demo recorded in 2002 during the Meteora sessions and released on the LP Underground XIII CD. On the booklet, Mike Shinoda wrote: "We tried many times to make this song work, but it always seemed too poppy for the album(s) we were currently working on."
The existence of "More The Victim", the vocal version of the song was revealed for the first time in the Meteora 20 tracklist. Mike Shinoda said that version is "basically the furthest we got with it, in terms of a demo." He added about the first three songs on the Lost Demos CD: "I really wanted to keep it true to the initial intention, because I didn't want to taint this time warp. What I love about the three new songs is that all of them represent a different facet of the band, as it was in 2003."[1]
