Linkin Park

[Psycho69]

What is your view on them?

....or Nu-Metal in general?

Alot of people believe they are just made by the industry and everything they do sounds exactly the same.

I believe in some cases, songs can seem similar, but they have a nice, unique sound and Mike Shinoda is a great rapper, who IMO, hasn't shown the true level of his skills on any LP album as of yet. (Fortunately, he now has a solo in the works).

I find that Chester Bennington, the lead singer has an amazing voice. The band could probably branch out to a bigger audience and get more recognition if they did more ballads and slow songs. My December is undoubtedly the most popular song they've done, and it isn't even on Hybrid Theory or Meteora.

And the closest song to that, would be Breaking The Habit, which is also a huge hit, even before it was out as a single.

Regardless of if they look fake, these guys are not lazy or stupid. I've never heard of a time when they weren't on tour or working with someone, along with organizing and creating the artwork for their booklets and covers themselves. Mike Shinoda seems to be the big brain behind alot of LP though. Considering Chester Bennington wasn't even the original lead singer when they were still Xero and Chester was really in a band called Grey Daze.

So, anyways, enough rambling.. What do you think of them or the genre of Nu-Metal that they are categorized in??

Linkin Park are a good band, the only nu-metal one I don't hate, and I think it brings all sorts of music genres together so there's something for everyone. The only way you could hate on this band is if you are jealous, or just don't think theyre talented, but having said that, they have some fucking amazing talent.

they aight

Their first album was great. Chester was damn crazy on that !

[Psycho69]

I think Meteora was great, but didn't outshine Hybrid Theory at all.

It was somewhat too similar to it.. I think if they really want to get even bigger, they must be willing to experiment and switch it up ALOT more on the new record. I'm glad to hear they are taking their time and trying to dabble in different things and experiment.

I'm hyped for the next album..

[FunkyD..Licious]

I think they're really good but all their beats sound the same.

Are you sure you're paying close enough attention then?

[Rich B]

They are awesome...

[Ian]

Linkin Park are awesome...

too bad I'm not open minded enough to listen to ANY other bands in their genre.

Breaking The Habit & With You (reanimated remix) are my favourite tracks
