Linkin Park

[RichardNixon]

They suck. Awful, awful band. Just thought I'd say so.

[Mattman]

Well, I disagree with you, Dick (as in Richard), but only partly.  Linkin Park have created some really catchy songs....I love each and every one of their singles (except for One Step Closer).  Well-crafted tunes, good hooks.  However, they lack a deeper appeal for me because their lyrics chew through the same cliched, vague modern rock angst - all their songs utter complaints about not being able to take anymore, about feeling numb, losing you, whatever - and their songs are all fairly similar in their construction - rapped verses, screaming rock choruses.  That said, bands like AC/DC have taken the same formula and made a 25-year career out of it.  Linkin Park's songs are all similar in structure but they still always manage to seem fresh, especially when they introduce elements like the sampled strings on Faint.  If they can take more chances like that with their next album, musically and lyrically, then they might exert a more powerful influence on my record-buying.

First album was brilliant, something new, like a fresh breath, aggessive etc. But you know..if you keep up doing that same thing with same style, it will become to be little pooring. I hope they would try something else with their music. I can't hear no progressing, they are repeating themselves and finally that doesn't give much pleasure for listeners.

Gotta agree with Dick here and say I think they are terrible. whiney, shitty, excuse for rock music. I don't think it should be played on rock stations but frequently is. They sound more like N sync than a rock band.

[Sl?sh]

That said, bands like AC/DC have taken the same formula and made a 25-year career out of it.?

Don't you ever, and I mean EVER, mention AC/DC in the same topic as Linkin Park.

And yes, Linkin Park sucks. Period.

Look what I found in one of my mom's cook books:

A recipe for Linkin Park:

1. A half cup of Rage Against The Machine
2. One cup of Faith No More
3. One cup of Living Colour
4. Two cups of fake rage
5. One shitty singer
6  One box of clich?
7. Ten cups of gayness

No need to mix any ingredients because it all comes prepackaged. Bake for 15 minutes and then discard.

Thanks for the great laughs mate! And this is actually the truth. Such a terrible band.

Never thought the day would come where i defended this band but i am going to anyway.  I have never been a big fan and i am not that keen on any of their albums.  They do though have some good singles i especially like the new one.  I also believe them to be extremely talented like them or not i respect them.  When i was at the Download Festival in June i got very drunk and saw them perform maybe i just liked it because i was wasted but i still enjoyed it so all credit to them even though they are not really my thing.

linkin park are fucking awesome!

Chester is an amazing lyricist and singer, the music is new and sounds like nothing else, they are very inventive and creative.

their songs are packed with so much emotion.

Linkin Park may not be your cup of tea but i guarantee that if u have ever gone through alot of bullshit and hard times in your life u would be able to like them a little more.

Their songs are very autobiographical for me, i have lived most of what they sing,so i really relate and think they are amazing.

There is this notion, even with Axl, that just cause u are a rich millionaire u can no longer have angst or depression. Depression isnt a money thing, it isnt a status thing, all the money in the world doesnt exempt u from pain and lifes bullshit.

linkin park are very very authentic.

[Timothy]

Linkin Park are one of the best bands out right now great albums, great live shows how could you not like them.

So is my face when I go and take a massive dump. It doesn't mean it'd sound good on a CD.

They sound like run-of-the-mill nu-metal fluff to me.

I order you to go to your nearest record store and buy John Lennon's Plastic Ono Band album immediately. Now that's an album with raw emotion and power.

John Lennon sucks he is one of the most over rated musician of all time.

  Blasphemy!?

There are more mature ways of expressing yourself. LP is teeny shit for teeny minds.

:rubs sleep out of eyes: did someone just say they like linkin park and hate John Lennon? Thats pretty fucking crazy.

yeah that would be me, i don't know if I would use the word hate I just don't really care for his music.

[Wheres Izzy]

hey it's your right to that opinion but to me prefering linkin park to John Lennon shows you're not a fan of real rock music. And I am not one of those people who thinks real rock music is only something released 30 years ago or something influenced by something from 30 years ago.

To me Linkin Park just seems prepackaged, commercialized, and fake. None of their songs have ever appealed to me at all.

I don't know how much of Lennon you have heard outside of the beatles but if you havn't you should check it out. If you already have and still think he sucks then thats your opinion. But Try listening to Instant Karma more than once and not singing along with the chorous.

[Timothy]

alright i'll have to check that out .

[MadmanDan]

John Lennon sucks he is one of the most over rated musician of all time.

That just says everything about you tastes in music.I'm ashamed we both love the same band (GNR)


Linkin Park represent the opposite of a great rock band,in every aspect,music,lirycs,look,etc.
