Pros: Still those fundamental elements of metal and rap... Cons: Nada...
Preamble
I've loved this band from the very first moment that I heard them back in 2000. They were one of the first to reignite my love in rock/metal that Faith No More had started for me. I'm telling you this because obviously, I'm...
Pros: Sound/tempo are a little more varied, slightly optimistic subject matter here and there. Cons: Chester gets annoying on a few of the interludes... um, I mean songs.
There are millions of happy teenagers in the world this week. Yep, that's right, Linkin Park's long-awaited sophomore album has finally hit the shelves. And, in an attempt to beat those millions of teens to the punch (Lord knows a gazillion more ...
Pros: They're getting better. Cons: The more things change, the more they stay the same.
I still remember my first impression of "that song from the Matrix". It became practically synonymous with the word "suck". But then the weirdest thing happened, and I still remember where we were driving when it happened too. As we turned right onto...
Pros: some great songs Cons: they haven't grown or changed as much as I had hoped
March 2003 was the month many angry teenagers had been waiting for. It was time for Linkin Park to release their second album, the follow up to Hybrid Theory. Have I mentioned that Im an angry teenager as well? One Step Closer was a...
I actually purchased Linkin Parks sophomore studio album Meteora when it first came out (March 2003), yet for some reason, it failed to impress me. Though the production sounded much more crisp and clear, I just felt that there was a lack of ...
Pros: More of the same kind of brilliance; uncompromising power with many influences Cons: Only the ones you may have seen in their debut
It's impossible to deny it now: rap-metal, love it or hate it, is here to stay. And riding the very front of the wave is a band as loved and hated as the genre itself: Linkin Park. When the six-man unit debuted with ...
Pros: Mike Shinoda is great, improved lyrical content, a bit more diverse Cons: Beavis Bennington, unimaginative guitar work, Beavis Bennington, not diverse enough still and Beavis Bennington
On the one hand, I almost want to feel bad for Linkin Park...
It's not easy to sell eight million copies of your debut record, no matter how trendy it may or may not be. The problem is, is it's even harder to follow it up. Now...
Pros: Chester is still hot; they remain faithful to the sound that made them famous. Cons: Not enough pictures of Chester in the booklet.
The Main Idea: Linkin Park's second proper studio effort, Meteora, was delivered in the spring of 2003, and fans welcomed it with open arms. If you liked Hybrid Theory, then you'll love this record because it doesn't stray from the ...
Pros: Continuing to evolve. New elements added (more ProTools, string arrangements, etc) Tasteful blend of Rock_and_Rap Cons: Short_Album_Length. Hard to measure up to their debut.
Pros: It's not Hybrid Theory Cons: Cripes, this is a short record
First things first - I wasn't a huge fan of Linkin Park's debut record, Hybrid Theory. Outside of "One Step Closer" and "In The End" I thought it was a mediocre throwaway record that had a bunch of songs that all sounded the same. It's like a CD...
Pros: It’s much better than ‘Hybrid Theory’
Cons: It still isn’t good
Lets face it - once a mighty legacy, nowadays rock is dead. Its kings are living out their last days, its listeners look more like ghosts from the glorious yet so distant past. Its corpse is being reanimated.
Pros: The lyrics portray teen angst well; Mike Shinoda's rapping is a highlight; Tight Production Cons: One or two mild downers; Some samish guitar work; Lacking in lenght
Love 'em or hate 'em. Consider them God's gift to the rap/rock genre or the plague that was the final nail in the genre's coffin. Regardless of your opinion about Linkin Park, there is no denying their enourmous impact on the world just a few ...
Pros: Not terribly different from Hybrid Theory Cons: Too Short!
As a fan of Linkin Park, I was startled to see the new album already on the store shelf. Having played Hybrid Theory and yes even Reanimation constantly, I grabbed it without thinking twice. I couldn't wait to give it a ...
Pros: Better than Hybrid Theory. Cons: Songs get old after a listen.
Everytime you watch Loony Tunes, do you think that it would be appropriate to throw in a Linkin Park tune during the Coyotee/Road Runner skits? I certaintly don't, and I don't think thats a good idea. Did Loony Tunes do it? No. Will they ever do it? ...
