Linkin Park
« on: May 09, 2009, 03:22:40 PM »
Like em or not, their one of the biggest mainstream bands out there today. Personally, their older stuff Pre-MTM =  :metal Looking forward to their upcoming album, which is supposedly a concept album of sorts. My favorite album by them is Meteora, followed by Reanimation.

move along people, nothing to see here  :D

Nah, their old stuff was cool. I predicted the shift to rock after nu metal was no longer popular though, which made me really not respect LP at all  :-\

I listened to them years ago before I started listening to good music. But to be fair, I can probably credit them for serving as my introduction to metal in some respects.

Same. Them, Disturbed and Limp Bizkit seem to be the trifecta of pre-real metal music. I listened the crap out of Hybrid Theory as a 12-13 year old.

I used to be a fan of them like five or six years ago and then stopped listening to them. Now I just got back into them and they are pretty good.

And maybe I will hurt people's eyes and conscious with that but, they are the mainstream version of Pain of Salvation. Really really similar style.

I sure hope not if they're touring with Dream Theater this year. I was just about to pick up a couple of their albums, too...

I'd say swap out Limp Bizkit for Slipknot.

I've never liked them, and have hated them since hearing a vocal jazz acapella high school group do "crawling on my knees" or whatever that song is in a performance.  It was a terrible arrangement.  I was mad because I wanted to hear vocal jazz and got Linkin Park.

Of course not... Don't be afraid Pain Of Salvation are million times more diverse, deep and interesting then Linkin Park (though I like Linkin Park but they are just not enough interesting for more listens)... Definitely try some their albums, Remedy Lane is obviously the best starting album I think, that was the way I got introduced to them... And then The Perfect Element part.1

Linkin park were my introduction to 'heavy' music :P I remember hybrid theory as being the first solid album I actually grew to love (instead of random chart songs). For that I will probably always have fond memories of them even though my tastes have changed.

Holy christ, MTM wasn't THAT bad! Surely it was disappointing but songs like Given Up, No More Sorrow, and Bleed It Out are amazing. Well, those three are really the only great ones but the other ones aren't THAT bad.

I don't know about you, but Leave Out All The Rest made me wanna curl up in a ball and die.

Oh yeah, and apparently Linkin Park's next single was secretly debuted in the new Transformers trailer.

Edit: Not only that, but they're helping compose the score for the movie.

That's reassuring then. I listened to the song Perfect Element and I loved it, so hopefully their other material will continue to impress me.

I used to like Linkin Park alot. I was disappointed when I thought Reanimation was an actual sophmore album and almost wrote them off, but Meteora was an excellent follow up. I played Numb to death long before it was a single. I traded the two albums in a long time ago, and I'm not into Chester's ridiculous screaming anymore and Minutes to Midnight WAS terrible, and lastly, I don't care about the new album.

I haven't really listened to Linkin Park in while, but if you wanted to listen to nu metal, just go with Slipknot, or just don't listen to nu metal. There's a lot of other, better, bands to listen to.

When I was 13 and Hybrid Theory came out I liked them a lot. I can still stand to listen to the odd tune off that album, but it's only really for nostalgia and I really can't stand anything else they've ever done

I rediscovered Meteora recently.  I think that's really the stronger album of the two because this "rediscovery" thing still happens to me every once in a while; I still find things in songs that I never noticed before that pique my interest or I remember why I liked a certain song to begin with.

To some extent it's true with Hybrid Theory as well, but Meteora has more interesting songs in my opinion.  That said, Hybrid Theory was an incredibly strong debut; I often come back to it and wonder how it was possible start off so strongly.

Countdown to the new single: 1 day, 3 hours, and 23 minutes. :metal
