They should just play the entire Hybrid Theory album from beginning to end.

For some reason this thread reminded me of when people in the UK conspired to have Rage Against The Machines beat the new X Factor song.
Can we get Blizzard to think RATM are still relevant?

These walls are closing in SO INSECUUUUUUUUUUUUUURE
I wonder who will headline next year. Is LP still super edgy or did they change their music?

I don't blame you, nobody's listening to what we've got to say anyways.

Hope he does. I have a soft spot for emotional early 2000 nu metal.
Though it should be named Numb 3. There was that Numb/Encore thing they did with Jay-Z.
Too new.
What I've done?

Thousand Sons is a masterpiece. Fuck the nu metal haters. I love the direction LP is going now. Can you imagine if they were still nu metal? Cringe inducing...
This session is over, don't stay here anymore with that crap.
I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not now
That Jablonsky score man.
so disappointed in blizz for this choice as is the entire group I'm going to blizzcon with. the only bright side is that it will probably be better next year. I wonder if they were just cheap to book.
i would have much preferred video games live again or anyone not super hot topic-ey

But their latest album is their heaviest?

Reanimation was an incredibly underrated album. I don't know any other bands that combined hip-hop, electronic music, and numetal in such an interesting way.
I think Linkin Park pre-2005 had a lot of artistic merit for a band of their popularity, and this is coming from someone who didn't listen to them as a teenager.

Yes!
Even without you, I'll always be with you, Linkin Park!

Their production was absolutely insane on Meteora.
Here's my stupid ranking because why not.
A Thousand Suns > Reanimation > Meteora > Collision Course > Living Things > Hybrid Theory > The Hunting Party > Minutes to Midnight
I don't dislike any of their albums, per se, but Hunting Party hasn't clicked with me and Minutes to Midnight is pretty patchy.
Okay, I'll better go somewhere I belong then.
While you're at it, take everything from the inside and throw it all away.

Thousand Suns was great. When they came out with their cover art probably inspired by Hunger Games and Wastelands I stopped listening. Sure they try and do what RATM did in a way, caring for the real issues, but the new stuff is hard to listen to.
The whole bow thing was popular for a while. Everyone from Lara Croft to Archery clubs were copying it. Bleh!
They were like the only band with inspiration from anime like Gundam. They sorta just tried it all again if you ask me.
Being from Omaha, 311 would be awesome to see.

Maybe the most appropriate use of this image ever
Living Things was a legitimately great album and Hunting Party, while not as solid, was still the most technical the band got with their songwriting. They finally remembered that they have a damn guitarist on that album. A Thousand Suns was also a surprisingly inspired concept effort. In spite of how trashy Minutes to Midnight was, they've gotten better in time, even though Reanimation is better than everything else and Hybrid Theory / Meteora retain some timelessness to them.
They're also really good live so this ought to be a good show.

I agree with this list alot. Only album I dislike from LP is Minutes to Midnight. Really glad they didn't stick with that style.

Nice ranking! Mine would be:
A Thousand Suns > Meteora > Reanimation > Hybrid Theory > The Hunting Party > Living Things > Minutes to Midnight
Haven't listened to Collision Course enough to pass judgment, but A Thousand Suns is brilliant and Meteora/Hybrid Theory are perfect albums in my opinion. Minutes to Midnight is easily the weakest, but I still enjoy listening to it.
Glad you were being forward with him.

Nah, Meteora is even better IMO. After that they became generic af and I stopped listening their music.

Is it really? Does everything need to be so heavily marketed towards people to show them what's relevant? Linkin Park are massive, their world wide tours are normally sellouts and they tour A LOT. Just because they don't play their songs on the radio....
The decision to ditch Nu Metal was their best decision ever. Anyways their newer music was actually heavier, even from minutes to Midnight and especially the latest album Hunting Party. This is one of their latest song and it's heavier than anything from their Nu metal days. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OCy5461BtTg
