Linkin Park - Rate them or Not?

[Raider_69]

Me and my mates are split on this
i love em, i recon they go off but my mate did bring up a valid point of them being pretty one dimensional as in all their songs sound simular?

My fav song is "Somewhere I Belong" and "Numb"

your thoughts?

 

[Anonymous]

Can't stand them. I agree with your mates - all their songs sound the same.

 

[Chicken_Hunter]

Hmm i buy their cds but they last about 2 weeks in my cd player until they get boring.

 

[Jono Russell]

they are one awsome band. I think there lyrics are genius and they are one of the best modern bands out there.

 

[ThrashViking]

No, Dull as f**k.

 

[Matt23]

There a great band, great singers, great songwriters.
Favourite song - One step closer

 

[Red Bear]

Hate that band, every song, musically and lyrically, is the same. They came along when Nu Metal was very popular and jumped on board. Then their second album was just playing it safe by releasing the same kinda thing as the first cd.

 

[Raider_69]

Yea this is like me and my mates
completly devided on the issue. a few of us absolutly love them and then a few cant stand them. no grey area :?

 

[Evilgrowler]

Maybe it's the old head and my early musical influences but I can't stand this new shit that keeps coming out. It's boring trash I have no time for.

Sorry R69.

 

[Mad Dogg]

I'm another that likes them. Have both cd's and still play them regularly. Papercut is great, but nothing comes close to One Step Closer.

Hehe, they got sick of playing One Step Closer because every concert the crowd wanted them to do an encore and sing it again. :lol:

 

[Phillips]

they have some very good songs, even if some of them sound the same as each other, so i vote "yes"....one step closer is still by far there best ever song

 

[xXSANDYXx]

i like their new song, cant remember the name, reminds me of an 80s cartoon, i got the album but i never listened to it #-o

 

[Twizzle]

another fabricated pop band

 

[Samwise]

Worst Band Ever

 

[SP]

i dont like them

one of my friends say they're just a boy band who play guitars

 

[Southernsaint]

Pretty poor - the songs are formulaic: Quiet opening with talking, heavy chorus with screeching - repeat ad nauseum.

Cheers,

Oh, and sprinkle the lyrics liberally with some of the following: "fear", "rejection", "Pain", "hurt"...

[Twizzle]

with a bit of background rap/hip hop

 

[PARRA_FAN]

Yuk!!!,

they are pathetic, nothing but a try-hard rock band with guitars and p*ss weak singer. I wouldnt class them as rock anyway,

Listen to bands like Powderfinger, now that's rock.

 

[ParraMatt]

Linkin Park Rock!
