The Official Linkin Park (metal, rap, rock, favorite bands, genre)

lgcg50 · 12-26-2003, 08:16 PM

L.P. is one of my favorite bands...and I'm not exactly sure why. I agree with some of the critics when they say that their music can sound alike, and that their songs are much too short, but ppl have had the same complaints about Dave Matthews and yet he grossed over 40 million dollars last year in tours... I think that the lyrics that Linkin Park presents are awesome and that they are one of the best bands live...they truly are kick ass.

I am not sure why so many people dislike their music, they have quite a few catchy tones, I think people are quick to judge them based on their "image" when they came out.

haha has nothing to do with the image. They just write bad music. Catchy does not mean good.

I am a big linkin park fan but I can't honestly say their music isnt repetitive. I enjoy listening to them as long as it isnt non-stop.

I never got into Linkin Park. A lot of my friends enjoy them, but I can't stand them. The vocals aren't good and there's nothing impressive about how they play and there melodies. Pretty much any band that resembles the tiniest inkling of nu metal turns me off instantly and unfortunatley they have some of those characteristics.

I wouldn't judge LP based on their radio play...I think some of their really good songs didn't/haven't made the radio....

I agree with you there. I have both of their CDs and most of the songs I like from them aren't played on the radio at all.

I like them and could care less what other people say about them. "Papercut" is my fave LP song. I hear they are a good live band. My friend saw them on off-fest with Slipknot, Disturbed, and Spineshank. He said seeing them live really got him into them.

I love LP. No matter what anyone says, I think that they have a style all their own. Over produced, stagnant, whatever the other thoughts were, I still think it's an original sound. And if they aren't anymore, I would think they started a new direction for music. Mixing in a DJ, rapping, vocals, plus the visuals of both their albums and concerts. I can see the opinion that a lot of their songs are the same, but if you like the sound I think that's a good thing in a way. It's also been said, and not in this thread which surprises me, they they are pretty commercialized, mainstream... sellout type of comments. I just think they have a sound that mass amount of people can get into... some smaller doses than others but it's a good sound. Plus I would gladly argue with someone over how commercialized the band is after hearing Chester sing live. When he sings it sound really emotional. Music is an outlet and not a pay check. And I don't think it matters who produces you... if you are using music as a venue for creativity... you're golden in my book.
