Music: New Linkin Park

[BonMorrison]

I mean this song is pretty terrible but is it that much worse than what they were doing in the early 2000s?

Yes.

 

[Muzzinga]

Really like the 2nd verse and the woman in general. Feel like it could have worked as a really good song if it was done by someone like Paramore

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

beat me to it

Nah, it's better.

Linkin Park is just...*shivers*.

 

[Pavelski2112]

Linkin Park has sucked since 2003

 

[Linkens Mastery]

What in the...

 

[Dipsy Doodle]

No worse than anything they've done before, just a different kind of bad.

 

[MetalheadPenguinsFan]

I couldn't even make it through 10 seconds....

 

[Shareefruck]

No worse than anything they've done before, just a different kind of bad.

Yep. Even Linkin Park in their prime were unlistenable.

Although I guess you could argue that they went from having their own identity-defining brand of sucking to going along with everyone else's brand of sucking.

That's a fair point.

Hybrid Theory and Meteora are fantastic. Minutes To Midnight is hit or miss, but at the very least it's inspired. They completely lost me with A Thousand Suns. What they played off as "innovative" and "deep" was simply boring. Like a typical Radiohead album. Living Things is forgettable. I can't recall a track. I liked The Hunting Party. It's heavy, grungy. But alas in today's market it got no run. Naturally they're going back to the pop stuff to get on iTunes. I hope the rest of the album surprises. Good dudes in that band.

 

[Satan]

this is weird af

 

[Do Make Say Think]

I mean this song is pretty terrible but is it that much worse than what they were doing in the early 2000s?

Yes and no.

The big difference is that all the kids that thought Linkin Park was great back then have grown up.

 

[McKappa]

So now that I've outgrown Linkin Park for years now.

I'm just realising how trash they are... Or any of the music I listened back when I was a edgy cringe 10-year old

 

[ProstheticConscience]

Was that Avril Lavigne joining in there? Wow. What crap.

And was never that big of a Linkin Park fan, but I did like a few versions of the Reanimation songs a lot better than the originals.

 

[Baby Punisher]

I shut it off after 7 seconds. Aside from a few singles off of soundtracks has Linkin Park put out anything worthwhile since their first album?

 

[Shareefruck]

Yes and no.

The big difference is that all the kids that thought Linkin Park was great back then have grown up.

Doesn't that still just suggest a resounding "no", then? Where does the "yes" come in?

 

[F L Y E R S]

Hybrid Theory and Meteora were great albums. Every track is solid.




Still one of their most underrated songs. Awesome chorus.

 

[Billy Crawford]

And here I thought they were back on the right track with The Hunting Party which I thought was a pretty good album. This Heavy song sucks.

 

[Paris in Flames]

Not even a good pop song.

If you're gonna go that route do it well guys.

 

[Puckstop40]

I continue to lie to myself that they disbanded after 2003

Same.

 

[RememberTheName]

That is horrible. Got through 15 seconds and said to myself "Did Linkin Park actually sing this garbage???"

 

[Pavelski2112]

Hybrid Theory was a great pop record, catchy and concise in its presentation. Meteora had a lot of great ideas but wasn't quite as inspired as HT. Everything after that has been trash.

 

[Do Make Say Think]

Doesn't that still just suggest a resounding "no", then? Where does the "yes" come in?

The song is a bit different from their early stuff, it's not as heavy for starters.

If I listened to it more I probably could find a few more but I really don't want to

 

[The Gongshow]

Songs called "heavy" but its pretty light and poppy
