The first album was pretty much about as far as the whole Linkin Park thing needed to go IMO.... well aside from the amazing WHAT I'VE DONE memes.

I'm not going to try to convince you it was good. Taste is subjective and people don't like the same things. I was just baffled at the "dropped the angst and anger" bit.

I enjoyed minutes to midnight but I had already kinda of stopped listening to them by then.
Every other album after that sounded like a turd. Although a few random singles like lost and lost in the echo.

 

[Hawking Radiation]

I'm not a huge fan of Linkin Park but driving into work today and fired up their album Minutes to Midnight and listening to some of the lyrics on those tracks sounds like a call for help IMO. Or maybe I'm reading too much into it but some of them sound very sad.

RIP Chester

ACDC is about the only band that has successfully replaced their singer.

 

[Hudo]

voila!

this is even more hilarious than the Cannibal Corpse one.

Rick Rubin also produces McCartney:

This guy sneaks in everywhere, all while looking like he sleeps in a trashcan.

I bet he believes that his look proves he is "fully about music" to the point where he refuses to put on a new shirt and comb his fucking hobo hairstyle. He looks like he smells like cheap weed and exhaust fumes.

I always thought Lincoln park was way over rated.

 

[RCX]

Liked the first single well enough but lost interest once I heard a couple more tracks

Turns out I just miss Chester's presence. Its never going to be the same

Did chestnut have an illness? He always looks weedy and frail with an enlarged head in relation to his body? For years I thought he had shitstick vibrosis or something

Drugs. He has that crackhead aura.

You may be used to seeing your fat ass in the mirror.

I can relate.

 

[HRK69]

That's what people always do. It either doesn't innovate enough when it's more of the same, a new singer doesn't look/sound like the previous one (no shit), music is not the same as it was....

Always those point of views, getting under my skin and I already know how it ends

Spoiler

xD

Same here. It's like when people dismiss music (or any media) just because it's "old." I've lost count of how many times I've recommended something and had someone say, "But it's old."

The band has to find a new path, and I respect that they’re still trying to keep the spirit alive. Let’s give it a chance before writing it off

 

[March Climber]

It's endemic to a larger symptom of live shows being a harder sell for most bands. Has nothing to do with popularity and a ton to do with jacked up ticket prices at venues. Musicwide, essentially.

I was just about to post what you did. Glad to know there are still people here who do more than the basic "If A = bad, then B = bad" level of logic.

 

[Caffeine]

They have only put out like 2 or 3 good songs.

 

[Diddy X]

And to think this shit was the bomb to my 2001's self.

 

[No BBC=Anger]

Anyone else enjoy Reanimation? And that crazy computer graphics music video with Halo/Starcraft vibes.
