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.

I so so so couldnt have said it better myself.

I think they sucked live.....but i still like em.

I really don't like them, although I did see them at a festival here in Houston. I must say, they are pretty good live. But I really don't like the albums or the band.

I don't like them to much. Their lyrics are so damn repetitive. I can't really go on that though because I listen to Anti-Flag but still they could change it up a little bit here and there. I do like the song "Numb" though...

They're not my favorite band out there, but they are extremely hard working guys. I have Meteora and I must say its a very good album. I think in order to appreciate their music you have to know alot about music, or nothing at all about music. Dont ask me how that makes sense, to me it just does :S. They are given a worse rep then they deserve though.

Linkin Park is good. I like how they experiment with sounds. Like how they have rap combined with the heavy rock sound.

And the effects. In the intro to somewhere I belong they took a solo Chester played and cut it up. Sounded really cool.

Wish I could hear them live. My Bro bought LIve in Texas but it doesn't cut it for me.

Does any 1 here like Linkin Park?

Lix · 06-03-2004, 05:14 PM

yup. i think that linkin park are one of the truly great bands of our time

I like how they're able to mix and play... bring a whole lot of different genres together. You have rock and rap with a bit of hip hop and they've been able to remix their own songs

I especially like Somewhere I Belong because it has all of these, plus for the intro they took a riff that Chester played and cut it up, then stick it in a different order and voila! you have the intro!
