Linkin Park!

[Hoopster211]

Well, this has been my favorite band for a while now. If anyone else likes them, what do you think abut their new album... i think it's way different and honestly I don't like it as much. Their songs are a lot softer than before, but they are still kinda catchy.

 

 

 

And btw, if you've never heard them before, you can hear all of their songs at:

Best Band Ever.

 

 

 

Now the thread is truly over.

 

 

 

New Album is diferent, but has some alright songs but What I've done is really hawt, and it's my favourite song

[RpgGamer]

I already made a Linkin Park thread some time ago. guess it died. . Linkin Park is my all time favorite band I have all but 2 of their albums (Xero sampler and hybrid theory EP) and I love evry secnond that they play. As for Minutes to Midnight...its easyily the worst album they have out right now, but its still rather good. I hope their next album has more songs like "faint" on it. But don't get me wrong, my favorite song of all time is "In the End" and second fave of all time being "Numb". so don't even try to call me out for being a biased metal head.

 

 

 

bottom line: I LOVE Linkin Park!

Because they sound like crap... :lol:

 

 

 

 

 

Well, I used to be into them, but that was a while back. I liked them alot a few years ago, but then I started listening to much better stuff, never went back.

I'm tired of being what you want me to be

 

Feeling so faithless lost under the surface

 

Don't know what you're expecting of me

 

Put under the pressure of walking in your shoes

 

(Caught in the undertow just caught in the undertow)

 

Every step that I take is another mistake to you

 

(Caught in the undertow just caught in the undertow)

 

 

 

[Chorus]

 

I've become so numb I can't feel you there

 

Become so tired so much more aware

 

I'm becoming this all I want to do

 

Is be more like me and be less like you

 

 

 

Can't you see that you're smothering me

 

Holding too tightly afraid to lose control

 

Cause everything that you thought I would be

 

Has fallen apart right in front of you

 

(Caught in the undertow just caught in the undertow)

 

Every step that I take is another mistake to you

 

(Caught in the undertow just caught in the undertow)

 

And every second I waste is more than I can take

 

 

 

[Chorus]

 

I've become so numb I can't feel you there

 

Become so tired so much more aware

 

I'm becoming this all I want to do

 

Is be more like me and be less like you

 

 

 

And I know

 

I may end up failing too

 

But I know

 

You were just like me with someone disappointed in you

 

 

 

[Chorus]

 

I've become so numb I can't feel you there

 

Become so tired so much more aware

 

I'm becoming this all I want to do

 

Is be more like me and be less like you

 

 

 

[Chorus]

 

I've become so numb I can't feel you there

 

I'm tired of being what you want me to be

 

I've become so numb I can't feel you there

 

I'm tired of being what you want me to be

 

 

 

Oh my, so meaningful! NOT.

 

 

 

 

 

And hell, some of their songs just sound like they got a dictionary out and tried searching for all the words that seem like they mean something, and then threw them all into a mess of a song.

[Poopingman]

Some of its alright, guess its because I grew up while this band was peaking. But either way, theres thousands of better bands out there..

[nirvana2512]

I liked hybrid theory when I was younger. Their new albums suck in my opinion.

How can you be a metalhead by loving Linkin Park?

 

 

 

They're pretentious without any shred of True Awesome. Compare these:

... DragonForce, Through the Fire and Flames:

 

[hide]On a cold winter morning, in the time before the light

 

In flames of death's eternal reign we ride towards the fight

 

And the darkness is falling down and the times are tough all right

 

The sound of evil laughter falls around the world tonight

 

 

 

Fighting high, fighting on for the steel

 

Through the wastelands evermore

 

The scattered souls will feel the hell that is wasted on the shores

 

 

 

On the blackest waves in history

 

We watch them as they go

 

Through fire, pain and once again we know

 

 

 

So now we fly ever free

 

We're free before the thunderstorm

 

On towards the wilderness our quest carries on

 

Far beyond the sundown, far beyond the moonlight

 

Deep inside our hearts and all our souls

 

 

 

[CHORUS]

 

So far away we wait for the day

 

For the lights are so wasted and gone

 

We feel the pain of a lifetime lost in a thousand days

 

Through the fire and the flames we carry on

 

 

 

As the red day is dawning

 

And the lightning cracks the sky

 

They raise their hands to the heavens above

 

As we send them to their lies

 

Running back through the mid-morning light

 

There's a burning in my heart

 

We're banished from the time in the fallen land

 

To a light beyond the stars

 

 

 

In the blackest dreams we do believe

 

Our destiny this time

 

And endlessly we'll all be free tonight

 

 

 

And on the wings of a dream

 

So far beyond reality

 

All alone in desperation

 

Now the time is gone

 

 

 

Lost inside you'll never find

 

Lost within my own mind

 

Day after day this misery must go on

 

 

 

CHORUS

 

 

 

Now here we stand with their blood on our hands

 

We've fought so hard now can we understand?

 

I'll break the seal of this curse if I possibly can

 

For freedom of every man

 

 

 

CHORUS [/hide]

 

... Statovarius, Hunting High and Low:

 

[hide]I feel the wind in my hair

 

And it's whispering, telling me things

 

Of the storm that is gathering near

 

Full of power I'm spreading my wings

 

 

 

Now I'm leaving my worries behind

 

Feel the freedom of body and mind

 

I am starting my journey, I'm drifting away with the wind

 

I go

 

 

 

I am Hunting High and Low

 

Diving from the sky above

 

Looking for, more and more, once again

 

I'm Hunting High and Low

 

Sometimes I may win sometimes I'll lose

 

It's just a game that I play

 

 

 

After the storm there's a calm

 

Through the clouds shines a ray of the sun

 

I am carried from all of my harm

 

There is no one that I can't outrun

 

 

 

Now I'm leaving my worries behind

 

Feel the freedom of body and mind

 

I am starting my journey, I'm drifting away with the wind

 

I go

 

 

 

I am Hunting High and Low

 

Diving from the sky above

 

Looking for, more and more, once again

 

I'm Hunting High and Low

 

Sometimes I may win sometimes I'll lose

 

It's just a game that I play

 

 

 

That would be all...

 

Be sure to hear from me again[/hide]

 

 

 

Agreed with Nad. lrn2metal.

[wakka102]

I use to Love Linkin Park, I still do, for their old stuff. I have Hybrid Theory in my car and enjoy driving to it, it sounds great with alot of Bass and I could care less what the lyrics are, half my music you can't understand the lyrics anyways, lyrics serve no purpose to me. It's the mood and tone of the music that matters to me.

 

 

 

However, they are the best example of a sellout band that I've ever seen. When I heard they were making Minutes to Midnight I got excited because I figured it would be like Hybrid Theory or Meteora which had the Nu-Metal sound that I miss so much that was popular in the mid to late 90's, however, it was a total disaster of an album! I can't stand any song on the entire album, they changed their sound so drastically that it just sounds like some stupid punk band or indie band and no longer like Linkin Park. Hopefully they will redeem themselves with their next release, I highly doubt it though.

[RpgGamer]

I already made a Linkin Park thread some time ago. guess it died. .

As for Minutes to Midnight...its easyily the worst album they have out right now, but its still rather good. I hope their next album has more songs like "faint" on it. But don't get me wrong, my favorite song of all time is "In the End" and second fave of all time being "Numb". so don't even try to call me out for being a biased metal head.

 

 

 

bottom line: I LOVE Linkin Park!

 

 

 

How can you be a metalhead by loving Linkin Park?

 

 

 

 

I can be a metal head because i like metal. not cause i like Linkin Park. I don't generally consider Linkin Park as metal (especially after Minutes to Midnight) so thats why i pointed it out.

 

 

 

wakka102: I agree, I miss their Nu-Metal sound very much...but their song "Behind your lies" (aka QWERTY) promises that they may be retracing their steps and regaining the loyalty of its original fanbase. I am a loyal fan, so I love whatever they pump out :lol:

[Suiblade]

I enjoy "Crawling", "Papercut" and "Lying from You", but other than those particular songs I dislike Linkin Park. Also, all of the songs from their "Minutes to Midnight" album are possibly some of the most horrendous pieces of "music" ever.

 

 

 

...Irn2metal.

[How2PK]

I always kind of liked that first single that came on t.v. here in europe, One Step Closer. It was kind of hard, and well, it was catchy. In the end was alright as well. But I kind of grew over them, which is what most people will do.

[Hoopster211]

They never "sold out". IIf they were really in it for the money and the fame, why would they stop doing what gave them that?

 

 

 

In other words, why would they try this new softer sound instead of sticking to the harder stuff they knew everyone liked? Because it's how they really feel and people change over time.

 

 

 

And the reason their lyrics are so vague is because they want to relate to people. Chester even said himself that he doesn't like to go into detail with his lyrics, he just keeps it at a general perspective.

[LP]

their "DJ" is good, but the other guys suck.

[kelem_ryu]

The first time i heard that new album. It's better then Meteora imo. The latter sounded a bit like a rip off of Hybrid Theory. I kinda like them, they might be posers a bit, but their music goes into my ear and their lyrics (not all of them of course) mean something to me. No bomb like "Crawling" on their new album though.

[rushrock]

They're pretty catchy. I like 'em. You don't have to have meaningful lyrics unless you think you do, and if that's the case, then...make with the meaningful lyrics lol.

 

 

 

I have an LP hoodie and t-shirt!!!!1!!11 :o \

[spikerkid]

I love all their stuff the same. It's all good to me, each album has good, great and crap songs.

[Nadril]

They're pretty catchy. I like 'em. You don't have to have meaningful lyrics unless you think you do, and if that's the case, then...make with the meaningful lyrics lol.

The point is they try and make meaningful lyrics and fail, hard.

That's probably about right.

 

 

 

But the question is: Do they think that they have meaningful lyrics?

Read their lyrics for one second, its pretty obvious.

[warri0r45]

I like their live in texas DVD, but I wouldn't call myself a fan, i.e. I'd probably never buy anything else of thiers (actually my brother bought the DVD) or even bother downloading any of thier stuff.

 

 

 

I'm with Nadril. Their lyrics aren't all that meaningful and there are way better bands with a way better grasp for writing out there. As for their new album, as I said, I'd never buy thier stuff, but I wouldn't even touch thier new album if I were infected with anthrax and the cure was taped to it.
