Let's Discuss Linkin Park!
 

I love Linkin Park!
I've known this Band my entire life, and I listen to a broad variety of their songs.
My favorite Albums are: "Hybrid Theory", "Meteora", and "Minutes To Midnight".
I do have a few favorite songs from: "Living Beings", "Hunting Party", and "A Thousand Suns".

What about you guys? ^^

Nah.

XD
Naw, man.
It ain't a trap, I promise.

Let's not

I nearly got through Hybrid Theory once.

surprised funimation never threw any linkin park songs into the english dubs of dbz movies like they always did with drowning pool and disturbed

My god. You okay dude?

Used to be good, the stuff they release now is garbage

:rofl:

I always wondered why Linkin Park and their peers were so bad at spelling.

i mean funimation put songs by those two in official video releases for whatever reason

Full of ****. Hybrid Theory is the best and easiest one to get through.

It just makes sense and fits that scene pretty well.

I'm so disappointed by their new album that I turned it off to listen to the new Papa Roach which ended up on repeat.

cooler's revenge was around 40 minutes or so with like 10 songs by Early 00s Bands You Might Have Loved in Elementary School™ in the english dub. i was all for it

Nah it's pretty dumb. You just like ****.

I had an embarrassing moment back when Hybrid Theory was new where I was feeling unbelievably angry, angsty and sorry for myself. Maybe a couple months at worst. So of course blasting ****ty angst filled drama queen music like LP worked for me. Then I got better and immediately started hating the bands music.

They've done some stuff I find inoffensive and a few decent hooks/production details, but overall I find the band pretty bad. Especially that new album they just released. I mean... Making pop is one thing, but this is just really bad pop. I'd rather listen to a third rate Katy Perry wannabe if I had to make the choice.

I do not like them anymore. Their first two albums are basically like taking the concepts of Beck's "Loser" and adding some unnecessary genre bending. Unlike "Loser" though, Linkin Park's songwriting uses overly-emotional lyrics that rant more than they tell a story, instead of more thought-provoking abstract lyricism. Not to mention their bland riffs that are more uninspired than Pantera riffs, their rapping that has annoying cadence, and their cliché singing.

"Somewhere I Belong" is about the only song by them I can still listen to, mostly because they tone down the emotion on that one.

retweet

I probably should've mentioned this in my first post: I have very negative feelings towards their new Album.
I hate Pop for anecdotal reasons that I'm not going to get into right now.
I gave it a chance by listening to "Heavy", but I honestly couldn't stand it.

And in reply to a few comments: While yes, they can be bland and over emotional; there is still something about their sound that I like. Although, I'm not sure what that is. XD

I respect all of your opinions, and I like that you guys are discussing this in a civil manner. ^^

post your favorite amv that uses a linkin park song

I enjoyed Hybrid Theory when I was 13-14. Pretty sure I could still rap most of 'In the End' despite having not heard it for close to a decade.

But they don't have much depth.

Pfft Almost everyone loved Hybrid Theory when it came out. The main reason I like it was for the whole Nu Metal mixing rock and rap together.

They did change their sound over time and experimented with different things. I just can't be bothered with The new album though.

I dont really watch AMVs, so I don't have a favorite. ^^"

Cool but be sure to wait for a few successful dates before you bring that kind of thing up.

You know who almost everyone loved early on and hated in hindsight? HITLER!

bulb you know what this means



get ready

I remember when it came out. It was all over the radio right next to Limp Bizkit, Nickelback, Staind, and Creed. So clearly "everyone" had impeccable taste.

Just because they were on the radio with them doesn't mean they should be lumped in with the rest.

Yeah they kinda should. They were really nothing more than Limp Bizkit with some extra buttrock influence back then.

I can't think of a single person I knew at that time who loved that album. I think it mostly appealed to pre-teens.

I guess that was just in your circles.

I was in the Navy at the time so guys in their early 20s and every single person had a copy of the album. We would just ask whose room is closer in the quarter to go get their copy so we could play it.

And that was your circle, people with a more limited access to music.

every song on hybrid theory kills accept crawling IMO and is one of the greatest albums ever, everything else by them is not even worst listening too as it tarnishes this albums greatness(again IMO). I may have been too young and impressionable to realise why the haters would have hated it at the time, a commercial version of the rock rap korn etc had been pushing for years, but I'm glad I was, because I still love this album.
fitting that my first post is about this album as it was the first "heavy" album I ever listened too

I hate it when people repeat jokes.

You can say that again.

i can't believe it's 2017 and some people don't like amvs

I stopped liking AMVs when I stopped liking Korn.

you can't just turn your back on amvs like that



they're masterpieces
