The Official Linkin Park
 

A lot of people really don't like Linkin Park, but I don't mind them at all. I agree with many of their critics that say that their musics sounds a lot alike, but I still like it. Some of it is really good, but you do get bored if you listen to the whole album all the way through. At least that's how I feel. What do you feel?

I don't hate them...but if they were on the radio i would change the station....I just don't like them that much

I think they're pretty terrible. Their lyrics are over-wrought, their instrumental work is not very creative, and whatever quality they are capable of is destroyed by overproduction. I don't like being too critical, but I think Linkin Park pretty much embodies rock's stagnation into the late 90's.

Since I don't listen to the radio to often or watch MTV, their not to hard to avoid listening to, personally I don't like them, but I am not complaining....

I really like them...and I wouldn't even say all their music is the same.
Hybrid Theory and Meteora are albums that I can honestly say were good start to finish...they had some strong singles, but even the ones that weren't released were solid.

Linkin Park's style is different than pretty much any other band around...it's great.

yeah...hybrid theory was a great album...i didnt like them much, but then i went to a live show of thiers and they were really good.

I'm hoping to see them in January...I'm not sure if I can though...

i love Linkin Park i can relate to some of they songs which makes me like them even more... i just sit in my room listening to them or driving around singing to the music! :) i love the lyrics! i understand the lyrics lol

Truly going to a live show might change my opinion....but I dunno. The only time i listen to the radio is when my CD player in my car is messin up. So every once in a while I hear a song by them.

L.P. is awesome
 

L.P. is one of my favorite bands...and I'm not exactly sure why. I agree with some of the critics when they say that their music can sound alike, and that their songs are much too short, but ppl have had the same complaints about Dave Matthews and yet he grossed over 40 million dollars last year in tours... I think that the lyrics that Linkin Park presents are awesome and that they are one of the best bands live...they truly are kick ass.

I wouldn't judge LP based on their radio play...I think some of their really good songs didn't/haven't made the radio....

I agree with you there. I have both of their CDs and most of the songs I like from them aren't played on the radio at all.

I like them and could care less what other people say about them. "Papercut" is my fave LP song. I hear they are a good live band. My friend saw them on off-fest with Slipknot, Disturbed, and Spineshank. He said seeing them live really got him into them.

I love LP. No matter what anyone says, I think that they have a style all their own. Over produced, stagnant, whatever the other thoughts were, I still think it's an original sound. And if they aren't anymore, I would think they started a new direction for music. Mixing in a DJ, rapping, vocals, plus the visuals of both their albums and concerts. I can see the opinion that a lot of their songs are the same, but if you like the sound I think that's a good thing in a way. It's also been said, and not in this thread which surprises me, they they are pretty commercialized, mainstream... sellout type of comments. I just think they have a sound that mass amount of people can get into... some smaller doses than others but it's a good sound. Plus I would gladly argue with someone over how commercialized the band is after hearing Chester sing live. When he sings it sound really emotional. Music is an outlet and not a pay check. And I don't think it matters who produces you... if you are using music as a venue for creativity... you're golden in my book.

I think they sucked live.....but i still like em.

I really don't like them, although I did see them at a festival here in Houston. I must say, they are pretty good live. But I really don't like the albums or the band.

I don't like them to much. Their lyrics are so damn repetitive. I can't really go on that though because I listen to Anti-Flag but still they could change it up a little bit here and there. I do like the song "Numb" though...

They're not my favorite band out there, but they are extremely hard working guys. I have Meteora and I must say its a very good album. I think in order to appreciate their music you have to know alot about music, or nothing at all about music. Dont ask me how that makes sense, to me it just does :S. They are given a worse rep then they deserve though.

In china ,a lot of people like Linkin Park .

Linkin Park is good. I like how they experiment with sounds. Like how they have rap combined with the heavy rock sound.

And the effects. In the intro to somewhere I belong they took a solo Chester played and cut it up. Sounded really cool.

Wish I could hear them live. My Bro bought LIve in Texas but it doesn't cut it for me. :band:

Linkin Park
 

Does any 1 here like Linkin Park?

yup. i think that linkin park are one of the truly great bands of our time :D

I like how they're able to mix and play... bring a whole lot of different genres together. You have rock and rap with a bit of hip hop and they've been able to remix their own songs

I especially like Somewhere I Belong because it has all of these, plus for the intro they took a riff that Chester played and cut it up, then stick it in a different order and voila! you have the intro!

This has been done before.

Find the old thread please.

Linkin Park is one of my favorite bands. I like there slower songs though like pushing me away, my december(the remix is so cool), numb and in the end.

lots off people say they suck cuz they rap but i like them but i dont like rap i like carrot sticks The first stuff they did from hybrid theory e.p. was awesome

they rok but thats just kuz they survived the drop of Rap metal

Linkin Park rocks! I've been to a lot of their shows and special tapings. I think what makes them so special, is their interaction with fans. I've meet them several times in person, really awesome guys!

Check this out if you like them just as much!

Linkin Park is the best.

Linkin Park is a good band. I have two of their CDs.

I so so so couldnt have said it better myself. :thumb:

i like linkin park, i have a few albums; meteora, reanimation, hybrid theory, live in texas.
my favorite songs are....crawling, breaking the habit, numb, faint
reanimation sucks....
chester has a awesome voice

to ask the question, "is linkin park a good band" gives them to much credit by actually saying that they are a band.

worst noise ever

linkin park is awful....all their songs sound the same.

lol, ive only ever seen linkin park live on the texas dvd, which was awesome...
