Linkin Park

[Evil Borad]

Seriously, what has happened to them?

I own all their albums, and still regularly listen to Hybrid Theory and Meteora. When I bought Minutes to Midnight, I was very disappointed. Sure, some songs were alright, but overall the album was very soft.

So I hear the other day that they have released a new single 'The Catalyst'. I went over to Linkin Park's myspace and started listening to the song. I stopped it half-way through - it was that awful, and I cannot believe Triple M play this crap.

When they began, they were nu-metal. Nowdays, I really don't know what genre to put them in.

I will not be buying their new album which will be released next month, as it seems that they are abandoning their fans that have been with them since the Hybrid theory days in favour of 12 year olds.

It's such a shame, they WERE an awesome band.

/rant.

Triple M have played crap for as long as I can remember.
Used to be such a decent station.

I liked them when I was 15-16, I think Reanimation was really innovative and good, Meteora was ok and everything else has been God awful. They've always been a band for 12 year olds looking back though. The lyrics are so emo and basic, the target audience was always going to be young teens. Not that there's anything wrong with liking them now of course but 24 year old me doesn't find them as appealing as 15 year old me did.

Once Jay Z got a hold of them they went down hill...

Not that Collision Course was a bad album, I actually quite liked it. Just it seems that since then they've done f**k all.

The 2 singles from the transformers movies for example are pretty much the same damn song. Like Hanging Tough/The Right Stuff the same.

Still, I've seen them live a couple times and you just can't help but be impressed with Chester's ridiculously powerful voice

When have linkin park not sucked? It certainly hasn't been in the last decade. They are the nickelback of metal.

 

[Eelementary]

Please don't call them metal.

"Hybrid Theory" was OK.

 

[user_nat]

Heard their new song on the radio the other day and thought it was pretty crap.

Heard it again today and it is starting to grow on me.

 

[Firey_Dragon]

Please don't call them metal.

"Hybrid Theory" was OK.

Would calling them garbage suffice?

Unfortunately they don't really fit into any other category other than "pop-metal". Hybrid Theory was a solid debut album for it's genre, but wow they've really exposed themselves as talentless hacks since.

Haha good call!

You're right, though - they'd be nu-metal.

just listened to new album online. Worst ever. No Guitar or Drums. It's techno and R n B crap

 

[Joker's Wild]

New album is poo to the extreme

 

[franklin2323]

I think poo is too nice for this tripe. I can't say I was a fan but I didn't mind a couple of songs of their's. There was a good rock song on the last album and couple aren't a bad listen

Pre-sale tickets for their concerts later this year are on sale now. For a general admission ticket at Sydney's Acer Arena, they are charging (and I'm not joking here) $174.90.

I wouldn't pay that much even if Kurt Cobain and Freddie Mercury rose from their graves as zombies and performed a duet.

WTF??? Who do they think they are?? I didn't even pay that much for Metallica. Do even get to go backstage?? The only way it would be worth it

 

[BLKOUT!]

You think that's bad? One of my friends bought herself a ticket for Rihanna and it cost like $160.

No, that's just the price to be standing in the mosh pit.

 

[Zigwaa]

Yeah Hybrid theory was good for a teenage me. Meteora was a good listen, everything since cringe worthy.

Their concert tickets are more than Soundwave! What the f#%k? Who do they think they are?

As Mike Patton put it when talking about Linkin Park - "It doesn't bother me that they are making lots of money, it bothers me that they are making bad music"

At first I thought M2M was rubbish although after a few listens I had a change of heart, that won't be happning with their new record though it is woeful.
