In the end, it doesn’t even matter
Meteora was also a decent album. I stopped listening after that. Hybrid Theory is something else though. Reanimation was also dope
Meteors was fantastic! But yes, after that, it kinda fell off.
I really liked minutes to midnight. A lot more introspective and mature.
But the fucking scream in Given Up still breaks me. Even more since his death.
They had some solid songs after this, but I kinda feel that this is where the downfall started to happen as they moved away from the angry, angry stuff and towards more of a rock sound.
I found the formula got a bit old after a while. The lyrics felt more profound in the beginning, but after a while it just felt like it was throwing synonyms for feeling bad in very similar tracks.
I listened to the first three albums (inlcuding reanimation) obsessivley when i was a kid. I think those and the live in texas album are the only cds i still own, for nostalgias sake. Ive recently been going over the albums ive missed though and though they arent start to finish bangers like the old ones, theres some really good songs still.
Song is 24 years old maybe the meme need to be updated. Me at 39
He surely doesn’t look 30. More like a 15 yo’s concept of 30.
What? You die at like 32, gramps.
Works for me, I’m 30. I discovered LP by going to my local library and renting the two CDs they had. Good times.
The lead singer really was dealing with something.
He tried so hard.
And got so far.
But in the end…
It didn’t even matter
Me at 30+ listening to new Linkin Park with the scientologist and sexual assault enabler:
“this shit sucks”
I liked her until I found out she was batshit. Bummer! Easy enough to listen to other bands I guess .
Yep and M Shinoda is completely tone deaf to the controversy / doesn’t give a shit
Well this certainly isn’t reddit cause you would have just been bombarded with how much of a monster you are for not liking a scientologist.
Since when?
Since about 2023 July.
It’s all bot or purchased accounts all the way down too. I’ve been checking it out at work when I’m bored. It’s all accounts with 2 post karma and 2000 comment karma on like Warhammer figurine subs.
Luckily, we’ll always have Psy.
I have mixed emotions of love and hate.
When ‘Lost’ dropped, it really spoke to where I was emotionally at the time. Chester out here like “Even in death, I still serve.”
Pray his soul still lives on as a machinespirit in the many CDs that are still around.
Never fails that about this time every year I give Hybrid Theory a listen. Had such an impact on me when it came out that it seems to have left a permanent mark on the change from summer to autumn for me.
Reanimation is also still awesome.
One thing that I always noted with Linkin Park is that most of their later albums seemed to divide opinions in the fanbase.
This always struck me as a good thing because they never really released the same sounding album twice (their first two, most popular albums being the exception). They always changed it up.
Their more electronic sounding albums are really underrated IMO. I haven’t really listened to them in years, but I used to love their music.
I still remember the shock and sadness when hearing of Chester’s death. He was a beast of a vocalist.
I wasn’t really into the scream-singing, but Mike Shinoda’s raps are fire
I still like the Jay-Z mashup album
Did you really need to repost this after less than a month?

Is this astro-turfing?
They think it’s Reddit where they can eventually use their account to make money with it
This shit bangs.
I never liked this band…
They sucked 30 years ago, and they still do.
I’ve learned that some people are just wrong, and that’s okay. ❤️
Cool story bro.
Replace the album with Green Days dookie and you have me! (Never mind the additional years…)
shut up when I’m talking to you
