What do you think about Linkin Park?

Anyway I knew this band from the T.V I saw the "IN THE END" clip once and I like it so much. I loved the lyrics and the way they skip from the rap to the rock. Actually this band is famous in this style so I started listing to them that's happened about 2 years ago.
Then I meet my boyfriend "Imperial Ice" and Ofcours he was a metal head long time ago then I met the metal songs so I stopped listing to them. (I know long details).
Now I'm so in Gothic Metal and some other bands like Children of Bodoom, Eternal Tears of Sorrow, Iced Earth. But about month ago I heard about the new album for them LP and I liked it so much the lyrics the music even the screaming. I loved there voices and I saw them as a metal band not rock or hard rock but as a metal band I mean when I listen to the song Die Die Die my darling for Metallica I see no different between the song Don't Stay (album Meteora) for LP or the song Faint from the same album.
I hope that someone could understand what I mean or find the missing point in my words so can help me explaining to you Metal Storm about the importance of this band
Thank you

Hybrid theory and Meteora--that's what LP was all about. For me, they died after Meteora.

When I started getting into "alternative music", I was listening to Linkin Park, Slipknot, The Rasmus, stuff like that... I can't stand any of those bands now apart from Linkin Park. They were more than just teenage angst and stood the test of time

The band that immediately comes to mind when someone says "generic suburban white boy music".... I remember liking Hybrid Theory and even Meteora when I still had some liking for pop music, but didn't bother following them after that. I eventually realized they're just another over-rated band that got famous following the same algorithm and writing shitty angsty lyrics for all their songs.

Written by Thrashette on 29.12.2012 at 18:05 This. Now, they have become some fucking boring dubstep crap group who have lost popularity, money and fame. Well, i must tell you this band WAS broke up when Mike Shinoda and Chester started their own groups( Fort Minor and Dead By Sunrise) and created feud.

All of their material is great until Minutes To Midnight. Everything After that is bad to me.

Written by Azarath on 31.12.2012 at 03:53 It basically sums up my thoughts as well. ...Nah but seriously I used to listen to some of their songs when I was younger. Just the most mainstream and popular stuff, they never caught my attention.

Honestly Hybrid Theory is one of my Favorite albums of all time, it was literally the first cd I ever bought incidentally.

They're okay, sorta catchy and have some good songs, though half their songs sound the same. I only like their more metallic stuff, though it's still far from metal.

The other day I listened to "Hybrid Theory"...that was nostalgic, but not specially music I like now. If they introduced me a song called "In the end" or "Crawling" today I'll be just like ....meeeeeh. Nostalgia works people, it does.

I like some of their songs. I relate them to Tranformers so they sound quite nice.

I liked their first 2 albums; the following ones I did not because they were sounding less-metal/rock and more pop/electronic. But the new one I like; they're getting back to their roots now. Good change of musical direction.

I just like their first 2 albums. "Crawling" "Papercut" "In the End" "Faint" and "Numb" were my favourites. Chester Bennington is very good though. He could be a great Metal vocalist.

Listening to them now for nostalgic reasons and heh... they're not half as bad as I remembered. "Numb" is a great example of how to make a four-chord-song without being too obvious about it and that actually takes some skill. I kind of like their overall sound and the vocals too, I think if the guitars were actually interesting I'd listen to them for other than nostalgic reasons too

I have never knowingly heard a single song from them. I only know them by name and tragic news.

In a way they represented a somewhat typical early 2000's alternative metal with some rap and synth stuff here and there. I never really liked them myself, I think most people who were into Hybrid Theory and maybe Meteora quickly forgot them after some time had passed. I don't think many people even knew they were still around until Chester Bennington died and da fans found them again. From what I've heard, their later albums arent any good, but whatever. This goes little off-topic, but there's something about a death a of a celebrity that makes some people go completely insane. Years ago we had this one massively despised public figure in Finland who people wished would go away and die already, some folk threw bottles at him. After the poor man passed away he became a frigging saint and everything was suddenly forgiven, every good person, politicians, journalists and their cats and dogs came to mourn his passing publicly and some even tried to get him a lavish stateman's burial. They even erected a frigging statue in his honor. I have never seen anything more hypocritical in my life, it was disgusting.
