Linkin Park where are thou ?

[Adrien C]

Today, I was in a music mood. So I went to look for some old cds. In the mess I found an album called "Hybrid Theory".
Linkin Park I recall, suddenly all these memories come back to me. I used to listen to that album 14/7. I plug my stereo and remember the old days. Damn, that's what I call good stuff. Not to heavy and not to soft, a perfect combination.

I decided to listen to their second album: Reanimation.
One of my favourite albums I recalled myself. The mix between electronic and rock is very good, some really fresh songs, and of course my all time favourite song, Crawling remix, I recommend this song to everyone, its a combination of rock and violins; with the special appearance of Aaron Lewis, staind's leading man.

Exited like a kid waiting for Christmas I plug in their 3rd album just to be immensely disappointed. This was pure crap; their fresh tunes had become some heavy loud sound and to be honest, most of the guitars had been replaced by fake electronic sounds; it sounds more like pop than rock.
Oh yes, Mike Shinoda, please stop with the fake rap. I was immensely disappointed.

I tried live at Texas, that one was pretty good, but it was just some live songs.

I did some research and found they had an album with jay z. I borrow it from a friend, and oh mine, that really sucks. No comment on that. :|
They havn’t come out with an album in 3 years ! :frown:

Linkin Park where are thou !? :x

 

[Tantalus]

Was the "14/7" intentional, or just a typing mistake?

 

[PoeticRocker]

Hopefully theyre choking on their own vomit which is their music.

 

[poksmote]

I murdered them for making shitty music.

 

[Kommie]

Man I just love the reaction people get when they say they like any semi-popular to popular band on these forums.

They suck and should Eat shit and Die!
I hate them
I want to rape them for making such bad music

COME ON, Just because you dont like a band doesn't mean anyone wants to hear your view on how bad they suck. Or at least put some thought in it.

Oh well this is the internet and thats what the "cool internet kids"(ahahaha) like to do, tear everything down.

[StardogChampion]

I thought I posted here already. But here's what I would've said if I did...

"The rock singer guy is just a bad rip-off of Layne Staley. Listen to Alice in Chains instead."

Meteora was released in early 2003, so it's only been around two years. You should try following Nine Inch Nails, it's been six years since their last album. Or maybe Guns N Roses (10 years).

/me gives Adrien C a bagful of patience

 

[Javes]

Linkin Park, is a roller coaster!

 

[SenorDingDong]

I recommend this site for you Adrien C.


http://www.youhavebadtasteinmusic.com/

 

[Kommie]

I recommend this site for you Adrien C.


http://www.youhavebadtasteinmusic.com/

That website is stupid, I could make a site that has a list of about ten bands and say that if you like them you have bad taste in music.

 

[PoeticRocker]

I love that website, the dude is a genius!

 

[Kommie]

You have bad taste in music if you...
Need a website to validate your opinions in music

 

[Bleeder]

Do you need a forum to validate your opinion that his opinion is not correct? He's entitled to his opinion just as you are yours. Even if he was doing this at concerts of bands I like....I would still find what he does hilarious. You have a right to not visit his website if you choose.

"That website is stupid, I could make a site that has a list of about ten bands and say that if you like them you have bad taste in music."

Indeed you could, but would you have the balls to go to the concerts of those ten bands that you don't like with a bullhorn and do what he does? I'm not saying it's right....just that I think it's funny, and that he's a brave man.

 

[Warbie]

He may be a brave (stupid?) man. One thing is for sure,though, he's definately a complete twat.

 

[Absinthe]

He rules.

Any way, Linkin Park blows. And no, contrary to what Kommie may think, I am not trying to be an e-badass ( ). I don't need to justify my dislike for shit.

 

[Warbie]

He rules.

In a "wooohoo" let's go out and get drunk and be cool! college kid kind of way.

 

[sabre0001]

like Linkin Park...
and i also think that a new album will be on the way...They just did their collaboration album...just like reanimation which had meteora following...

While i am a big fan of LP i have not bought this 'mash-up' and dont plan to either...I dont really like the whole idea of re-doing things that early on and i heard Numb/Encore and didnt like it at all...

 

[Dalamari]

Linkin Park is crappy lyrics put to a almost techno background, most of their songs sound the same and for some reason they have a fixation with bad animation and black clothing.

Linkin' Park is a roller coster....

 

[sabre0001]

^ Fixation with black clothing ^

WHAT?? Many people wear black and they do wear other stuff...Was there a point to that commnet - they dont go gothic, just dress as they want to...Do you dress according to what music you listen to...Oddities!

 

[StardogChampion]

Dalamari's right. The lyrics are laughable. The rock guy doesn't seem smart enough to write decent lyrics, his lyrics are so obvious.

I've heard songs entirely about drugs that don't mention the word drugs once. I've heard songs about pain and loneliness without the words pain and loneliness in the lyrics, Linkin Park seem to dumb to be able to do this. Metaphor is not a word in their dictionary.

 

[Adrien C]

Indid, their music suck ass, just look at the guitar tabs, they all look alike. Lyrics do suck, with Mikes hinoda's lame rap. They need to change their crappy guitarist, fire the dj, and get some better lyrics.
nuff said.

 

[Killing2Live]

Whatever, LP rocks and I like all their stuff except for reanimation.

But then again, I like rap too. /getting ready for flames

 

[SimonomiS]

*raises hand*
I like Linkin Park too. Mainly the art style and Mike Shinodas multi-talents. True, the lyrics at times are a bit repetitive, but some of your arguments against them are a bit unjustified. But yea, each to their own, that said...
FLAME ON!

 

[Lucid]

Linkin Park is depressing, and probably encourages emotionally unstable kids to kill themselves.
Seriously, I used to like them with Hybrid Theory, alot.
But this recent crap...ugh, They're suffering from mainstream fever.
Trying too hard to please the crowds.

Don't you have an Evanescence aviator...?

 

[Dalamari]

Do you dress according to what music you listen to...Oddities!

Yes, jeans and band shirts, a universal combo.

But there is a difference between dressing how you want and having makeup people dress you to have a certain look, I could care less how people dress day to day, but when the people above you dress you to have a certain look, that is a whole different thing.

 

[Lucid]

Don't you have an Evanescence aviator...?

Yes?
And what's wrong with them?
They don't scream like idiots.
I don't find their music suicide-inducing at all.
But, Linkin Park, is like music that serial killers listen to.
I find Evanescence rather soothing to listen to.
Oh...right right...
It's the cool thing to hate Evanescence nowadays.
Calling Amy Lee a poser and everything...
But, What exactly is she posing?
She never said "Yeah...I'm totally goth."
Hell, I wouldn't classify her as goth at all.
She's...Amy Lee.
But, Seeing as I'm going off into a tangent here, I'll be quiet.

 

[pr0nking]

Hopefully they've disappeared never to come back. I saw them at download festival 04 and people were walking around with "ALP" (Anti Linkin Park" T-shirts and couldn't get the crowd going...What do you expect from a crowd of metallers

 

[pr0nking]

Yes?

HaHa...I love how people say shit like "Metal music is suicide inducing" "it makes me want to slit my wrists" thats just media-hype bullshit. If you listen to it, LISTEN....then you'll realise there is so much more emotion and power in the lyrics...People just stereotype Metal, Goth or punk whatever into suicidal music, because a few people who killed listened to marilyn manson, that shit is just an excuse to not blame the parents! Stop being a ****ing ******, and open your ears, and Evanescence is pop. And if you read a Kerrang interview with her, you will see she considers her self a gothic outcast who does nothing but sit and home and write lyrics.

 

[Dalamari]

There maybe is a lot of force behind the songs, but all I hear is death and decay, show me one metal song that is about something nice and happy. I hate Evanescence, but atleast their lyrics don't consist of grunting or playing a guitar like OJ killing his wife.

 

[Javes]

Nah I never ever ever liked them, not really my scene, so i don't think it's cool to hate them. The reason I dislike them is because to me they seem to have no musical talent, to some people music talent means how fast you can move up and down a fret board, to me it means crafting a song with good lyrics and clever timings and such.

*On Topic* Linkin' Park do not meet these requirements either.

 

[Absinthe]

This is why I believe electronica is superior to all other genres.

 

[theGreenBunny]

Haha, Linkin Park. Oh well, to each his own. I'd definitely say there's better music out there though. A lot better.

 

[Dalamari]

That pic made me and a few peers around me laugh, NOICE!

 

[StardogChampion]

I don't get it.

 

[MuToiD_MaN]

Linkin Park was created using a formula created to exploit the "troubled teen" culture with the sole desire to make money using the smallest amount of effort possible. All you need to do is have strained singing and screaming of a jumble of phrases that together mean nothing and set it to maybe three distinct chord patterns that you can mix and remix a dozen different ways. This way you can create an instantly popular band that turns heavy profits, with a minimal amount of talent and recording costs. Why do you think the band has only turned two albums of new material in 6 years? Remixes excluded, of course.

Face it. Linkin Park was created to make money first and music second. If you're okay with that then I don't have a problem.

Hold the ****ing phone.
I never said SHIT about metal being bad.
I love metal with all my heart.
I just HATE...****ING....HATE Linkin Park!
Linkin Park, is a ****ing insult to rock/metal whatever the **** they are.
Evanescence, definitely isn't pop.
They're rock, and if she said that in an interview, I could care less.
If she considers herself a gothic outcast, whoop-dee-****ing-doo.
God...
...and if I said anything in my previous post that's the exact opposite of what I'm saying now, sue me.

Quoted for truth. It's anoying to hear them talk about LPU and all their marchandise.

If you want some good rock : Alter Bridge
