I enjoy their music.

 

 

 

And the reason you're all hating on them is because of the lyrics? O.o

 

 

 

I don't listen to the lyrics in any of these sorts of songs. Hell most metal/nu-metal you can't even understand what they're saying most of the time. Who gives a [bleep] if they're singing about religion and devils, or some big-[wagon] fluffy bunny who likes to rape children. I certainly don't. I listen to the MUSIC not the words. So seriously, stop hating. :P

 

 

 

LP haters annoy me, because there's nothing to hate. >.<

Oh, sure, there's nothing to hate if you ignore their pretentious lyrics.

I enjoy their music.

The lyrics are just the tip of the iceberg, I don't like how they actually sound either.

They are overrated, something that hasnt been mentioned before in this thread.

 

I wont say I 'hate' them, I understand alot people like this kind of music.

 

and its just way too mainstream in my opinion.

tbh i think they've gone even further than mainstream...

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 \

 

 

 

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.

I don't quite understand you're argument, what exactly makes a songs lyrics meaningful? I can't understand half the lyrics of any of my songs anyways but that doesn't take away from it. I like music that makes me feel something with the overall sound, I never listen to a song for it's words or give them much attention anyways.

You think LP's lyrics are meaningless? Look at the ones you posted:

 

 

 

Open wide the gate, friend

 

the king will come

 

blow the horn and praise

 

the highest Lord

 

who'll bring the dawn

 

he's the new god

 

in the palace of steel

 

persuade the fate of everyone

 

the chaos can begin

 

let it in

 

 

 

What the heck does that mean? Either this guy works at the renaissance fair or he was high.

 

 

 

LP's are meaningless? Would you think that if I told you about how the lead singer, Chester, had his parents divorced when he was a kid, was sexually abused by his father, was addicted to many drugs like cocaine, and worked at a burger king and was really poor most of his life. Don't you think if he had something to say it would be exactly what the lyrics are?

 

 

 

And yea they're mainstream... but how's that a bad thing? You think you're being different because no one has ever heard about your favorite band, but really your just following one of the crowds, and that crowd happens to dislike mainstream.

 

 

 

I think you guys are just jealous that they're so successful, and you think they don't deserve it.

You're right, obviously I must be jealous! :roll:

 

 

 

 

 

Did you ever think that some people just don't like a band because they sound poor? I don't give a rats [wagon] if they're popular or not -- if they sound bad I won't listen to them. On the upside if they sound good and I enjoy their music I will listen to them.

 

 

 

 

 

It has nothing to with popularity for me.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Also just because the singer has gone through all that does not mean its actually a part of the lyrics.

I enjoy their music.

You're right. Hating them solely because of their lyrics is silly, and people who do so usually just ride the crazy-awesome-Linkin-Park-hating-bandwagon and their only excuse to "hate" the band is because their "lyrics suck", since that's a valid enough reason (in their mind) which generally doesn't require a whole lot of explanation or knowledge about music in general. It's easy to get away with such comments.

 

I mean sure, their lyrics might not be top notch, but jesus christ there are way worse.

 

 

 

The reason I don't like their music (note: I didn't say "hate") is because there's just nothing interesting about it at all. The guitar parts are basically just made up of powerchords in drop D and very basic drumming. It seems as though the only person in that band that has an ounce of talent is Hahn. So their music just sounds really poor in my opinion.

Their stuff is pretty catchy. They don't have to be poetic to be a good band

Yeah if it was just the lyrics I wouldn't have a dislike for a band. Its everything pretty much, just a boring band and I dislike the sound.

I've heard about 5 songs of them I think, and they all sounded the same to me.. First 1 or 2 verses sang almost crying, then a screaming yelling chorus that hurts the ear, another verse, and then repeat the yelling till the end.

 

 

 

 

 

But great band man :lol:

I enjoy their music.

I think you're right. I'm guilty of getting on that bandwagon without thinking about it enough. #-o

I listen to Linkin Park because I like their sound. I don't really care about the lyrics. However...

 

zonorhc:

 

I compared them, and I still feel Linkin Park's are better. Are you telling me that this is very meaningful?

 

 

 

"Magic is in me

 

I'm the lost magic man

 

never found what I was looking for

 

now I found it but it's lost " :-s

 

 

 

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.

 

+1

 

There are some good songs on the album, but its not as good as Hybrid Theory or Meteora. I really hope they go back to their old sound on the next album.

 

 

 

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.

 

No it doesn't. They made that song before they started work on Minute To Midnight.

They're horrible.

 

 

 

Lyrics that mean nothing at all and they sound like crap.

 

 

 

And with lyrics like

 

 

 

I bleed it out dig in deeper just to throw it away

 

I bleed it out dig in deeper just to throw it away

 

I bleed it out dig in deeper just to throw it away

 

 

 

Over and OVER They suck.

 

 

 

They used to be good but after "What I've done" They sucked.

ROFL! that was a horrible example of their lyrics. Yes LP is gettng a bit mainstream, but I've been a fan of them since Hybrid theory EP (many moons ago) so i'm quite the loyal fanboy. Simply not liking something because its popular seems to be why Linkin Park is failing now adays...but like all LP fans, i really miss their old style. This softer sound is meh, but they used to know how to send chills down my spine with their intricate melodic layering and their MEANINGFUL lyrics.

 

 

 

Yes i do think that their lyrics are meaningful. But not to their newer songs. But lets take a glance at some of their lyrics when they were in their prime:

 

 

 

"She can't hide no matter how hard she tries

 

Her secret disguised behind the lies

 

And at night she cries away her pride

 

With eyes shut tight

 

Staring at her insides

 

All her friends know why she can't sleep at night

 

All her family asking if she's alright

 

All she wants to do is get rid of this hell

 

Well all shes gotta do is stop kidding herself

 

 

 

She can only fool herself for so long"

 

 

 

or...

 

 

 

"Graffiti decorations under a sky of dust

 

A constant wave of tension on top of broken trust

 

The lessons that you taught me, I learned were never true

 

Now I find myself in question, they point the finger at me again

 

Guilty by association, you point the finger at me again

 

 

 

I want to run away, never say good bye

 

I want to know the truth instead of wondering why

 

I want to know the answers, no more lies

 

I want to shut the door and open up my mind"

 

 

 

If you can't see the meaning behind those words, then you are truly blind.

Can someone please tell me exactly where I said that the lyrics I posted were intended to be "meaningful" rather than just suitably awesome?

 

 

 

Oh, that's right. Nowhere. So you people are making an issue out of words that I never uttered, because deep down, you know that Linkin Park could never create the mind-blowingly epic feel in their music that metallists can, either in lyrical content or music.

 

 

 

Like I said, lrn2metal.

I don't agree with Nadril.(Except for a little bit in the area of lyrics not making sense :P )

 

 

 

They're extremely catchy, and I love the guys voice. Minutes to Midnight sucks....but their older stuff is quite nice.

 

 

 

 

 

Linkin Park Ftw

Don't really care about the lyrics, their music gets me pumped :D . Havn't heard much of any good music produced by them as of recent, but their old stuff is gold.

 

 

 

On the topic of lyrics- relatively, especially with the majority of music nowadays, their lyrics aren't that bad :-k . I mean, they actually have lyrics, so that at least puts them in the top half for writing ability when it comes to songs :-w .

Lol, Lyrics Mean everything to a song :roll:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And on the first page, none of those songs were anymore meaningful then their lyrics anyway.

I'm on your side <_<

 

 

 

Those were the lyrics he posted for one of his favorite bands, and I was saying how silly they sound.

 

 

 

And yea dude, Carousel along with the HT EP songs were probably my favorite. Have you heard "Part of Me" from that same album?

 

 

 

"It canÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢t be frightening if youÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢ve never felt it

 

Once itÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢s been dealt with you feel like youÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢ve been touched by something angelic

 

And then melted down into a pool of peace

 

Cease to be the animal you used to be

 

Remove the broken parts you know were wrong

 

And feel the karma when the problemÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢s all gone

 

And then you start to see another piece of yourself that you canÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢t let be

 

And that reasonÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢ll last fight to free yourself

 

Take it to the depths of the bottom of the well

 

And now you know you can choose to lose the part in your heart

 

Where your insides bruise

 

You can live if youÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢re willing to

 

Put a stop to just whatÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢s killing you"

I like One Step Closer, but mostly for the film clip... But still, I agree with Nadril.

Linkin park has a lot of views on youtube, and I mean alot... were I belong has 20m, and a few have 10m and a few 1m+
