Why is there another Linkin Park album?

Stop making music guys.

Because they sell a lot and make a shitload of money.
I hate them too but I understand why they are making albums.

I personally can't wait for their next Transformers song.

I liked the first two albums....

Me too. They were good CDs. And I didn't realize they made a Transformers song.

There are still teenage women on this planet. They have parents, their parents have money. It's a vicious cycle.

I'm not saying that all Linkin Park fans are whiny emo girls... but there are a ton of them. Also frat boys and shit like that. Tons of people I know at university and the factory love this band, it's the exact same shit with Nickleback.

I can't believe you just compared Linkin Park with Nickleback. Linkin Park puts out good music. Their only problem is that the radio over plays them so no one wants to listen to them anymore. Nickleback on the other hand just puts out bad music.

I have never liked Linkin Park. Would I say Nickleback is worse? Yes, but they are both shit, and it seems like they both cater to the same demographic.

I heard one of their new songs on the radio and it was awful. Doesn't even sound like them at all.

Linkin Park blows, plain and simple. I don't care how high your production values are. You still write shitty music.

Its very easy to compare two shitty bands. And they had a song attached to both TF movies, so they'll do the third.

When did this board all of the sudden turn into a whole bunch of music snobs? I think I kind of remember hearing their TF song once, maybe. If I did, I don't remember liking it. I haven't really followed the band since their first 2 CDs. But those 2 CDs were good. You haters can go on hating all you want. But they're making the $$ and you're just sitting around hating.

AHAHAHAHAH.

You only heard the TF songs once or twice? Dude. I guess you really don't listen to the radio or watch much TV (which is good. And I bring TV into it because of my Muse comment from last night).

I'm not a music snob (far from it), I just never liked Linkin Park. The guy is so whiny and I just don't like the music.

Russell Casse · **Posted:** October, 20, 2010 - 5:09pm

Yeah, since I stopped driving, I never listen to the radio. Even if I was driving, I would just listen to my iPod anyways. But I can see how people can find Linkin Park annoying. The reason why I stopped listening to them a long time ago was because they kept on playing their stuff on the radio. That's actually the reason I stop listening to a lot of music. Radio just kills it.

And I have yet to hear Muse on TV. I watched some Biggest Loser last night and HOUSE on Monday. All I see are a million Pat Toomey and Dan Onnorato commercials.

THESE WOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUNDS THEY WILL NOT HEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAL

I had a roommate at college one summer who was this Asian kid who LOVED anime. i mean, LOVED anime. he had anime posters on the wall, had anime PJs, would walk around with little cat ears on his head, and was CONSTANTLY watching anime. Like, 24/7.

He would also constantly listen to Linkin Park. I never got t he connection. One day i asked him why he loved Linkin Park so much, and he said "oh, they made a badass anime music video."

Yeah Sean those exact lyrics are the reason why I hate them. I mean, I give them props for exploring the possibility of rapping while rocking, but that is one genre that just DOES NOT work.

We all have bands that we liked when we were younger yet are fully aware of how bad they are. I remember in Middle school Linkin Park and Sum 41 were THE SHIT, everyone loved them. I mean, I've always liked Sum 41's first album, but even at 13 I was able to say...what the fuck? these new albums suck dick.

To each his own though, there was a thread on Reddit about all this. But what it really comes down to is that comparing "quality" of music makes zero sense. All of these bands are NOTHING in comparison to the musical genius of Debussy and other 19th-18th century composers. But we still like them for what they are. They're different, and different is good.

I can tolerate the first two Linkin Park albums, but I don't like the new stuff at all. I heard an old Sum 41 song the other day and you know what, I enjoyed that too. I can't remember what it was called though. I'll try to find it when I get home...

I still kind of like old Linkin Park. Minutes to Midnight was kinda blah and I have yet to listen to this one.

I disagree, chronic future does rap/rock and they are excellent. I can't stand linkin park, they make money though.

Also I really enjoy sum41, I just have a good time listening to their pop punk music, but when linkin park comes on I feel like I just drowned a cat.

You're all a bunch of weenies. Early linkin park is, at the very least, some catchy shit.

Sean · **Posted:** October, 21, 2010 - 7:37am

honestly, IDC one way or the other about linkin park. Good on 'em for pretty much cornering the rap-rock market. it's a one-band genre, and like people in this thread said -- they sell records. Shit, I wish i could sell records.
