Not much these days. They've changed their sound a lot since their Hybrid Theory/Meteora days. You can still tell it's them, but it's a much more mature sound.
Compare this song from Hybrid Theory (2000)...
to this track from their newest album, The Hunting Party (2014)
It's still their signature sound, but it's much more tighter musically, as well as cutting down on their angsty teen sound from their first two records.
I feel like most people jumped off the LP train a long time ago when they started changing, so the only memory they have of their music is rooted in their angsty stuff from over a decade ago, not knowing they sound so different in comparison these days. Their new stuff is honestly on par with most alt rock bands these days, but they're sort of cursed in the sense that everyone remembers them because of "In The End" and "Crawling."
