What the hell happened to Linkin Park?

[Rav7n]

Pop rock.
Korn invented so called new metal. But at least they were original .
This lot were always the weak alternative to the fat detuned sound of korn..

They are just popular metal for the mainstream to like..

 

[Kingz]

Their first two albums were perfectly good pop albums. I went to see them specifically but at ozzfest 2001 and Sanitarium a year or so later they played a good show and got respect from a Metallica crowd..which aren't always an easy bunch. Ask Fred Durst who got a bottle in the face on the same bill.

I still listen to Hybrid Theory every now and then. That album was the tits

This is actually a great track and there a few other decent ones on that album.

Other than that Reanimation is only thing they've done that I really liked.

This track with Chali 2na is fire.

Chester should have stuck with the DeLeo brothers and dumped LP. The tracks he did with STP were the best things I had ever heard from him. (Admittedly, based on his LP output, the bar was not that high.)

 

[Mr. Shickadance]

they were always awful, nasally carppy vocals and real bad rapping, just manufactured garbage to cash in on the whole rack rap epidemic in the early 2000's

 

[Mr. Shickadance]

It's interesting you say it was "essentially nu-metal." Of course it was. LP were nu-metal gods back in the day.

I don't say that disparagingly. I love nu-metal at that time. LP, Disturbed, Papa Roach, Limp Bizkit, Sevendust, Static-X. . . That was my shit.

Wow if that list were a line up for a festival that would be my definition of hell.
edit:
well maybe not static-x, they have some good songs

Sevendust is a good band...or was. Haven't listened to them in ages.
